[Unreleased]

[2.6.0] — 2026-06-18

Added

• App language can now be set from Android's system per-app language settings (Android 13+), in addition to the in-app picker in Settings — and the app is set up so further languages can be added by community translators

Fixed

• Changing the app language in Settings now takes effect immediately; the picker previously had no effect

[2.5.0] — 2026-06-17

Added

• Home-screen widgets (two of them): an "Upcoming" agenda widget — a scrolling list of the next month of events grouped under day headers, with refresh and "New event" buttons — and a month-grid widget showing the full month with today highlighted, connected multi-day event bars, and prev/next/today navigation. Both reuse the in-app grouping and layout so they match the app exactly, respect your hidden-calendar choices, and refresh automatically when the calendar changes or the day rolls over. Tapping a day opens that day; tapping an event opens its details
• App shortcut: long-press the Calendula icon for a "New event" action that jumps straight into the create-event form
• Agenda view — a fourth top-level view alongside Month/Week/Day: a forward-looking list of upcoming events grouped under "Today"/"Tomorrow"/date headers, reachable from the view switcher
• Jump to date — a "Jump to date" row in the navigation drawer opens a date picker and moves the active view (Month/Week/Day/Agenda) to the chosen day

[2.4.0] — 2026-06-17

Added

• Per-event colors: give a single event its own color, instead of always inheriting its calendar's. Add the new "Color" field from "More fields" in the event form. On calendars that publish their own color set — such as Google — you pick from that calendar's palette, so the color is stored with the event and shows correctly on every synced device. On local calendars you pick from Calendula's palette. "Reset" returns an event to its calendar's color
• A new "Allow colors on unsupported calendars" setting (New event form, off by default) extends per-event colors to calendars that publish no color set of their own (some CalDAV). Such a color is kept on the device and may be dropped or overwritten on that calendar's next sync — a limitation of those calendars, called out plainly in the setting and on the color picker

[2.3.0] — 2026-06-16

Changed

• Redesigned Settings around the Material 3 grouped-list pattern: a large title that collapses into the toolbar as you scroll, category cards on the main screen, and dedicated sub-pages for Appearance, the new-event form, and Notifications. The theme, week-start and language pickers now use the app's standard option-card dialogs instead of dropdown menus
• About moved to the top of Settings as a card — app icon, author, and quick links to the source code and licence — with the version shown plainly at the foot of the list
• The Calendars screen now uses the same grouped-card layout and collapsing title, and each calendar shows a soft pastel-tinted calendar glyph rather than a plain colour swatch
• Redesigned the navigation drawer to match: a branded header, the Month / Week / Day switch and your calendars as grouped cards (with the active view highlighted), and the whole drawer now scrolls as one

[2.2.0] — 2026-06-16

Added

• Tap an empty slot in the day or week view to create an event there: the create form opens prefilled with that day and the tapped hour (snapped to the hour, one hour long). Tapping an existing event still opens it
• Local calendars: create and manage device-only calendars that live entirely on this phone — no account, no sync — from a new "Calendars" screen in Settings. Give each a name, a colour, and an optional description; rename, recolour, or delete them later. Useful when you want a calendar without setting up an account
• The Calendars screen also lists your synced calendars (DAVx5, ICSx5, …) grouped by account, each with a "Manage" button that opens the app the calendar actually comes from, plus an "Add account" shortcut to the system account settings. Calendula never touches a synced calendar's server itself — that stays with its own app

Changed

• Colour swatches in the calendar editor now preview the soft, pastel tone a calendar is actually drawn with, instead of a bright raw colour
• The calendar editor reuses the event form's field and button styling for a consistent look

[2.1.0] — 2026-06-15

Added

• The month view now shows real events in each day instead of coloured dots: all-day and multi-day events render as continuous bars at the top (a multi-day event is one connected bar across the days it spans, not a chip per day), with single-day timed events as filled pills beneath. Up to three rows show per day, then a "+N" dot indicator for the rest. Each day keeps a rounded surface background, matching the week and day views; today is marked with a filled circle on its number
• The slide-out panel now has a "View" section to switch between Month, Week, and Day, mirroring the top-bar switcher pill — tapping a view selects it and closes the drawer. The current view is highlighted

Fixed

• Typing in the event title, location, and description fields no longer makes the cursor jump around: the form state's round-trip to the UI was hopping to a background dispatcher, so the text field saw a lagging value while typing. Only the calendar/preferences reads stay off the main thread now; the keystroke path is synchronous again

[2.0.0] — 2026-06-11

Added

• Conflict handling when saving an edit: if the event changed elsewhere (sync, another device) while the form was open, saving now asks whether to keep or discard your changes instead of silently overwriting the edited fields — and tells you when the event was deleted in the meantime. "Keep" still writes only the fields you touched; external changes to untouched fields survive either way
• F-Droid store screenshots (German + English), captured with demo data

Changed

• F-Droid description and README no longer claim the app is read-only — they now describe write support and reminder delivery

Fixed

• versionName/versionCode bumped to 2.0.0 / 13 — closing out the write-support milestone (v1.1 through v2.0)

[1.4.0] — 2026-06-11

Added

• Reminder notifications (v1.4): Calendula now delivers event reminders as notifications itself — the system schedules them but posts nothing, so a calendar app must (essential when Calendula is the only one installed). Due reminders appear on a dedicated "Event reminders" channel; tapping one opens the event's detail screen. Email reminders are never posted (the provider only schedules alert-type reminders)
• A one-time onboarding step after the calendar grant introduces reminders, requests the notification permission (Android 13+), and warns that a second calendar app with notifications on will duplicate them. "Not now" leaves the feature off
• Settings gained a "Notifications" section mirroring the choice: an event- reminders toggle (default on) with the duplicate-reminders hint; turning it on re-requests the notification permission when missing

Fixed

• versionName/versionCode bumped to 1.4.0 / 12

[1.3.0] — 2026-06-11

Added

• Event editing: a pencil action on the detail screen (writable calendars only) opens the event form prefilled with the event. Only fields you actually changed are written back; saving an untouched form is a no-op. Sections holding data are always shown, regardless of the form-field defaults; the calendar itself can't be changed while editing
• Recurring events — scoped writes, chosen when saving (Google model): "only this event" (a modified-occurrence exception), "this and all following" (the series is split at the occurrence), or "all events in the series". Changing the recurrence rule rules out "only this event"
• Deleting a recurring event gained the middle option too: "this and all following events" ends the series just before the chosen occurrence
• Recurrence picker (create and edit): one-tap daily/weekly/monthly/yearly presets plus a custom step with interval + unit, weekday toggles for weekly rules ("every week on Mon and Fri"), and an end condition (never / on a date / after a number of times). Rules the picker can't express (e.g. "second Thursday monthly") are shown humanized and preserved verbatim unless replaced. Recurrence also joined the optional form fields and their settings defaults
• Validation: a repeat that would end before the event starts is flagged (it would otherwise vanish from every view)

Changed

• Editing reminders reconciles against the provider's actual rows: reminders you didn't touch keep their method (e.g. email reminders on synced events survive unrelated edits)
• The contextual WRITE_CALENDAR upgrade for v1.0 installs covers the edit action like delete

Fixed

• Splitting a series ("this and following") sends the complete time-column set in one update, so the provider regenerates its cached instances — an RRULE-only update left a stale duplicate of the tapped occurrence on the split day
• RRULE UNTIL values are written as the local end of day expressed in UTC (instead of a flat T235959Z), so recurrences can't leak an extra day in timezones ahead of UTC
• versionName/versionCode bumped to 1.3.0 / 11

[1.2.1] — 2026-06-11

Added

• Optional event-form fields with user-controlled defaults: reminders, availability (busy/free), and visibility (default/public/private/ confidential) joined location and description as form sections. Settings gained a "New event form" section choosing which show by default; the rest unfold via a "More fields" picker
• Reminders editor: stacked rows with right-bound remove, full-width add action; the picker offers one-tap presets and a custom amount + unit (minutes/hours/days/weeks) step
• OptionCard — the app's standard selection-dialog row (full-width tonal card, optional icon + supporting line, highlighted selection). All dialogs (calendar, visibility, more-fields, reminder presets, recurring-delete) now use it; radio-row dialogs are retired

Changed

• Event form redesigned onto the detail screen's design system: tonal cards with gutter icons (top-aligned on tall cards), borderless inline text fields, calendar-coloured accent bar under the title, no dividers, no top-bar title; placeholders render clearly fainter than input
• M3 Expressive motion: the theme now provides a MotionScheme (MaterialExpressiveTheme, standard springs — expressive bounce reviewed as overdone), the FAB stack and "more fields" reveals animate on theme springs
• The jump-to-today slide is direction-aware (future → today slides in from the left, past → from the right)
• versionName/versionCode bumped to 1.2.1 / 10

Fixed

• The keyboard no longer pans the whole event form; the screen stays anchored and the focused field scrolls into view (adjustResize + imePadding)

[1.2.0] — 2026-06-11

Added

• Create events (milestone 2, slice 2):
  • A "+" FAB on the month, week, and day views opens a new full-screen event form, prefilled with the visible day (today at the next full hour, or 09:00 on other days)
  • The form covers title, all-day toggle, start/end with Material 3 date and time pickers (moving the start drags the end along, preserving duration), target calendar, location, and description
  • The calendar picker offers only writable calendars and preselects the one you last created an event in
  • Validation on save ("ends before it starts", no writable calendar), with the same contextual write-permission upgrade as delete
  • All-day events are stored provider-correctly (UTC midnights, exclusive end), timed events in the device time zone

Changed

• The jump-to-today pill now stacks above the new "+" FAB instead of being the only floating action
• versionName/versionCode bumped to 1.2.0 / 9

[1.1.0] — 2026-06-11

Added

• Write foundation (milestone 2, slice 1): Calendula can now delete events.
  • Delete action on the event detail screen, with a confirmation dialog; recurring events choose between "Only this event" (a cancelled exception, so the rest of the series survives) and "All events in the series"
  • WRITE_CALENDAR permission: onboarding asks for read+write in one system dialog, but only read access is required — declining write keeps the app fully usable read-only. Existing v1.0 installs are asked for the write upgrade in place, on their first delete
  • Read-only calendars (WebCal subscriptions, birthday calendars, …) are detected via CALENDAR_ACCESS_LEVEL and show no edit/delete actions at all

Changed

• Onboarding copy no longer claims "read-only"; it now says your data stays on the device (still no internet permission, still zero telemetry)
• The placeholder Edit button on the detail screen (a no-op since v0.4) is removed until editing ships in a later slice
• versionName/versionCode bumped to 1.1.0 / 8

[1.0.0] — 2026-06-11

First public release. Calendula is a read-only, Material 3 Expressive calendar that lives entirely on top of Android's CalendarContract — every calendar synced to the device (CalDAV via DAVx5, Google, local, WebCal, …) shows up automatically, with zero telemetry and no internet permission.

Highlights (accumulated across v0.1 → v0.6)

• Month, week, and day views with a view switcher, swipe navigation, and Loading / Failure / Success states on every screen
• Full-screen event detail surfacing every readable CalendarContract field — times, recurrence (humanised), location, description (with tappable links), attendees + roles + your own response, reminders, status, availability, access level, and foreign time zones
• Per-calendar visibility filter (grouped by account, persisted) and a Settings screen (theme, Material You dynamic colour, week start, app language)
• Material 3 Expressive first-run onboarding for calendar access
• German + English localization throughout

Changed

• versionName/versionCode bumped to 1.0.0 / 7

[0.6.0] — 2026-06-11

Added

• Full event read (v0.6): the detail screen now surfaces every readable CalendarContract field that V1 had been dropping —
  • Reminders — each configured lead time, humanised ("10 minutes before", "1 day before", "At time of event"), read from CalendarContract.Reminders
  • Status — Tentative / Cancelled chip under the title; a cancelled event also strikes through its title (Confirmed shows no chip)
  • Availability — a "Free" pill pinned top-right of the title when the event doesn't block your time (Events.AVAILABILITY, the iCal TRANSP field); the default "Busy" is left implicit to avoid noise on every event
  • Access level — a Private / Confidential chip when the event isn't public
  • Attendee role — organizer / optional / resource badge under each attendee, plus the device user's own response ("Your response: …") from Events.SELF_ATTENDEE_STATUS
  • Time zone — shown only for timed events pinned to a zone other than the device's, so cross-zone events read unambiguously
  • Linked URLs — http(s) links in the description are now tappable
• Domain model rounded out with Reminder, EventStatus, Availability, AccessLevel, AttendeeRelationship, AttendeeType, and the attendee/self status fields; mappers + unit tests cover every new column's integer codes

Changed

• Redesigned the first-run grant-access screen — the onboarding a new user sees. Material 3 Expressive layout: branded launcher-mark hero, an app-name eyebrow, a benefit-led headline, three trust rows (on-device, every calendar, no tracking) with tonal icon chips, a full-width filled CTA with a trailing arrow, and a "Read-only · no internet permission" footnote (the app declares only READ_CALENDAR). The denied/recovery state shares the same shell with a lock-badged hero and Open-settings / Try-again actions
• versionName/versionCode bumped to 0.6.0 / 6

Notes

• A dedicated event URL field was dropped from scope: CalendarContract has no Events.URL column (only CUSTOM_APP_URI, an app deep-link), so URLs are surfaced by linkifying the description instead

[0.5.0] — 2026-06-10

Added

• Calendar filter (M3): the navigation drawer now hosts the calendar list inline — every calendar grouped by account, each with a colour swatch and a visibility switch. Hiding a calendar is persisted app-side (DataStore, separate from the system VISIBLE flag) and applied centrally in the repository, so month/week/day re-filter live the moment a switch flips. The drawer was trimmed to just Today, the calendar filter, and Settings (the stubbed jump-to-date entry was removed; jump-to-date was later cut from scope entirely)
• Settings (M4): a full-screen destination with
  • Appearance — theme (System / Light / Dark), Material You dynamic colour (auto-disabled below Android 12), week start (Automatic / Monday / Sunday)
  • Language — app language (System / Deutsch / English) via per-app locales, persisted across cold starts down to Android 10
  • About — version, license, and a link to the source on Gitea
• Week-start preference now drives the month grid and week view; "Automatic" follows the active locale (Monday in DE, Sunday in en-US)

Changed

• Theme is driven by one activity-scoped settings source, so a theme or dynamic-colour change applies app-wide immediately
• versionName/versionCode bumped to 0.5.0 / 5 (the in-repo version had lagged behind the release tags); the About screen reads it directly

[0.4.0] — 2026-06-10

Added

• Event detail (S4): full-screen destination (MD3 list→detail, not a bottom sheet) opened by tapping an event in the week/day timeline — title with a calendar-colour accent line, a card per field (when, calendar, location, description, attendees, recurrence) with leading icons, location tap opens a maps intent, Loading/Failure/Success states, slide-in/out over the calendar
• Human-readable recurrence: RRULE rendered as e.g. "Every week on Tue and Thu until 31 Dec 2026" (FREQ/INTERVAL/BYDAY/UNTIL/COUNT, abbreviated + italicised day names, localized list formatting), with a generic fallback
• Month → day navigation: tapping a day cell opens the day view on that date

Fixed

• Recurring events failed to open in the detail view: the series row stores DURATION instead of DTEND, so the mapper dropped it (EventNotFound). The detail now keeps such events and shows the tapped occurrence's own times (from CalendarContract.Instances) instead of the series start

[0.3.0] — 2026-06-10

Added

• Month view (S1): Material 3 Expressive card-per-day grid (only the current month's weeks; neighbouring days left blank), per-day event dots with "+N" overflow, today emphasised via primaryContainer, spring-based press feedback from the active motion scheme, swipe + drawer navigation, Loading/Failure/Success states
• Week view (S2): vertical time schedule with overlap-resolved lanes, separate all-day strip, midnight-spanning events clipped per day, swipe navigation, Loading/Failure/Success states
• Day view (S3): single-column slice of the week schedule reusing its overlap-lane layout, per-day swipe navigation, noon-centred scroll that persists across swipes, animated all-day strip, compact top bar with the full date, Loading/Failure/Success states
• Functional view-switcher (M1) cycling Month ↔ Week ↔ Day
• Shared calendar UI building blocks in ui/common/ (navigation drawer, failure screen, view-switcher pill, color pastelizer, observable locale)

Removed

• Throwaway debug screen — superseded by the month view

[0.2.1] — 2026-06-09

Changed

• Regenerated the F-Droid catalog icon.png (512x512, both locales) so it is pixel-faithful to the on-device adaptive launcher icon: same slate background (#5C6B7A), off-white mark (#FAF6F0), and the foreground group transform (scale 0.5, pivot 114,108, translate 2,8) baked in.
• Added design/icon/calendula_launcher.svg — the composed full-bleed icon (background + transformed mark) as the single source of truth for store/F-Droid renders.

[0.2.0] — 2026-06-08

Added

• Domain models for calendars, event instances, event detail, attendees
• CalendarContract-backed CalendarRepository with ContentObserver-driven live updates
• DataStore preference for app-side hidden-calendar visibility
• READ_CALENDAR permission flow (rationale + denied recovery + system-settings shortcut)
• Wegwerfbarer Debug-Screen: zeigt alle Kalender + die nächsten 50 Termine ab heute
• Hilt-Wiring für Data-Layer (Repository, DataSource, DataStore, IO-Dispatcher)
• Unit-Tests für Cursor-Mapping (alle §8-Defensiv-Cases), Repository-Flows mit Turbine, DataStore round-trip
• Instrumented smoke test against the real CalendarContract provider

Changed

• Redesigned launcher icon: line-art calendar with a stylized "1" inside (kalendae reference) and a small calendula bloom badge in the bottom-right corner. Replaces the simple "1"-only foreground from v0.1.0. Source SVG checked in at design/icon/calendula_mark.svg, also used to regenerate the F-Droid catalog icon.png (512x512) per locale.

[0.1.1] — 2026-06-08

Fixed

• F-Droid metadata format: renamed locale dirs from de/ to de-DE/, short_description.txt to summary.txt, full_description.txt to description.txt (fastlane format that fdroidserver actually reads, matching the working HouseHoldKeaper convention)
• Added icon.png (512x512) per locale; fdroidserver does NOT auto-extract icons from APKs that only contain XML adaptive icons (which is what minSdk-29 apps produce), so the app was rendered blank-iconed in F-Droid clients

Changed

• CI pipeline cleanup: lintDebug/testDebugUnitTest instead of full lint/test (cuts ~50% of lint work since release variant lint is redundant for V1 single-variant build)
• Release workflow drops the lint step from its CI-sanity job since the same lint already ran via ci.yaml when the underlying commit hit main

[0.1.0] — 2026-06-08

Added

• Initial project scaffold (Gradle Kotlin DSL, Version Catalog, Hilt, DataStore)
• Material 3 Expressive theme with Dynamic Color (API 31+) and slate-derived fallback
• Adaptive launcher icon — stylized "1" on slate squircle (references kalendae)
• German + English localization infrastructure
• Permission declaration for READ_CALENDAR (no UI flow yet — that's Plan 02)
• Gitea CI workflow: lint, unit tests, debug build, Trivy scan
• Gitea release workflow: signed release APK + F-Droid metadata sync to Hetzner
• F-Droid metadata stubs (DE + EN short/full descriptions)
• .planning/ project-tracking documents
