### Added
|
|
- Settings → Calendars now says what is different about a calendar instead of
|
|
leaving you to guess. Ones you can only view — a subscribed calendar, a
|
|
calendar shared with you read-only — are marked **Read-only** ([#76]).
|
|
- Calendars your device isn't syncing are marked **Not synced**, moved to the
|
|
bottom of their account and left without a switch. None of their events are on
|
|
the device, so the switch they used to have could not have shown you anything
|
|
— the calendar simply looked broken. They are no longer offered when you pick
|
|
a calendar for a new or an imported event either: an event saved there would
|
|
never reach the account. Whether an account syncs a calendar stays that
|
|
account's own app's decision ([#78]).
|
|
- The birthday and anniversary calendars Calendula fills from your contacts are
|
|
marked **Filled from your contacts**, which is why they can't be picked for a
|
|
new event: anything you put there would be removed again on the next sync.
|
|
Deleting one is held back while special dates are switched on — Calendula
|
|
would simply create it again — and the calendar's editor says so; turn the
|
|
feature off under Settings → Special dates and the delete works as usual
|
|
([#76]).
|
|
- The calendar picker in the event form and in the .ics import screen now ends
|
|
with a **"Missing a calendar?"** row that opens Settings → Calendars, where
|
|
those marks then explain why a calendar isn't offered ([#76]).
|
|
- The agenda widget's text size is yours to set. **Settings → Widgets & tiles →
|
|
Agenda widget size** offers Small, Medium, Large and Extra large, replacing the guess
|
|
the widget used to make from its own measurements. Small is what it looks like
|
|
today, so nothing changes until you turn it up ([#51]).
|
|
- A repeating event now shows you its next few dates, not just a description of
|
|
the rule. Both the preset list and the custom recurrence picker carry a
|
|
**Next:** line — "Next: 30 Jul, 6 Aug, 13 Aug" — under the rule they would
|
|
save. A phrase like "monthly" on the 31st, or "every 2 weeks on Mon & Fri",
|
|
can mean something other than it sounds like, and only the dates say so. A
|
|
rule that can never fire says that instead ([#69]).
|
|
- The event visibility options now say who they affect. **Public**, **Private**
|
|
and **Confidential** each carry a line about what other people on a shared
|
|
calendar see — the part the four words on their own leave out ([#69]).
|
|
|
|
### Changed
|
|
- **Settings has been reorganised so each setting sits where you would look for
|
|
it.** One long undifferentiated list is now three labelled groups — Look &
|
|
behaviour, Data, and App — whose rows open sub-screens and say what they do
|
|
rather than only naming themselves. Appearance, Views, New event form,
|
|
Notifications and the new Widgets & tiles are separate screens now, so the
|
|
settings for a calendar view are no longer mixed in with the ones for the
|
|
app's colours or for the home-screen widgets ([#69]).
|
|
- Settings that are hard to picture from their name now show you what they do.
|
|
The week-start picker rearranges a real month grid as you choose, the
|
|
past-events setting previews a sample agenda day for Show, Dim and Hide, the
|
|
font pickers set a specimen line in the face you are choosing, and the Agenda
|
|
range options carry the dates each one actually covers. Options that follow
|
|
the system additionally name which way they currently fall ([#69]).
|
|
- **Backup & restore** is now its own Settings entry instead of living inside
|
|
the calendar manager, where it was easy to miss — keeping a copy of your
|
|
calendars is a different question from which calendars you have. The calendar
|
|
manager keeps a row pointing to it, and nothing about how backup or automatic
|
|
backup works has changed ([#69]).
|
|
- Calendula's source code now lives on **Codeberg**, where its issues already
|
|
were. The **Source code** and **License** links in Settings → About point
|
|
there, so reporting a bug and reading the code no longer land on two different
|
|
sites. Nothing about the app itself changes, and the F-Droid repository is
|
|
unaffected.
|
|
|
|
### Fixed
|
|
- A month-grid widget stays a month grid, and draws all seven days again. Since
|
|
2.16.0 a placed month widget could redraw itself as the agenda widget a little
|
|
after any change to your events, and could draw only about four day columns
|
|
with the last one cut off part-way through. Both came from the release build
|
|
merging the two widgets into a single class, so Android could no longer tell
|
|
which of them a widget on your home screen was — and the month grid was handed
|
|
the wrong widget's measurements to lay its columns out against ([#89], [#103]).
|
|
- The back gesture on **Settings → Views** returns to Settings instead of
|
|
leaving Settings altogether and dropping you on the calendar. Special dates
|
|
did the same ([#81]).
|
|
- The dots standing in for the events that didn't fit a day in the month view
|
|
now dim with everything else when **Dim completed events** is on. A past day
|
|
with four or more events kept its last events at full strength while the rest
|
|
faded ([#79]).
|
|
- Two accounts that happen to share a name — a Google account and a DAVx5
|
|
account for the same address, say — are no longer merged into one group.
|
|
They were listed together in Settings → Calendars and in the drawer's filter,
|
|
which also meant the group's source icon and its "manage in app" button could
|
|
send you to the wrong app, "toggle all" spanned both accounts at once, and
|
|
collapsing one collapsed the other. Where a name really is shared, each group
|
|
now names the app it comes from ([#77]).
|
|
- In the month view's **Split** style, the new-event button now starts on the
|
|
day you have selected. It always started on today, whichever day was selected
|
|
and listed below the grid ([#87]).
|
|
- Search results now show an all-day event's real date. West of UTC — anywhere in
|
|
the Americas, say — a search hit was dated one day early, disagreeing with the
|
|
day the month, week and agenda views file the same event under ([#82]).
|
|
- Reminders no longer depend on Android telling Calendula when they are due.
|
|
Calendula now works out each reminder's time itself and sets its own alarm for
|
|
it. On some phones — Samsung's among them — the system's calendar storage never
|
|
sends the signal a calendar app is meant to wake up on, and no amount of
|
|
battery or notification settings helps: the reminder is simply never announced.
|
|
None of that is visible from inside an app that waits to be told, which is why
|
|
it took a second pass to find ([#75]).
|
|
|
|
Reminders also survive things that used to lose them quietly. After a restart
|
|
or an app update Calendula re-arms its alarms, and a reminder whose moment
|
|
passed while the phone was off still arrives, as long as the event has not
|
|
ended yet.
|
|
|
|
- All-day reminders now arrive at the time you chose in **Settings →
|
|
Notifications**, on every occurrence. A yearly birthday could drift an hour
|
|
either way depending on daylight saving, and all-day reminders on calendars
|
|
from an account fired in the middle of the night instead of in the morning
|
|
([#75]).
|
|
|
|
- Reminders now arrive for every calendar you have switched on. A calendar that
|
|
was hidden at system level — switched off in another calendar app, or never
|
|
switched on after being added — still showed its events and listed their
|
|
reminders in Calendula, but never notified: Android only schedules reminder
|
|
alarms for calendars marked visible, and Calendula kept its own separate
|
|
on/off list that had no say in it. There is now one switch: **Settings →
|
|
Calendars** turns a calendar on or off for the whole device, so what you see
|
|
and what reminds you can no longer disagree ([#75]).
|
|
|
|
Calendars you had switched off in Calendula are switched off here too on first
|
|
launch. Calendars that were already off — hidden in another calendar app, or
|
|
never switched on after being added — stay off, and Calendula says so once
|
|
rather than quietly switching them on for every app on your device; you can
|
|
turn any of them back on in Settings → Calendars.
|
|
|
|
If you gave Calendula read-only access to your calendars, the switch still
|
|
works: your choice is kept in the app until it can be written.
|
|
|
|
The drawer's filter is unchanged and still app-only: hiding a calendar there
|
|
tidies your view without silencing its reminders.
