  • Integrated Calendar View. **You MUST reset your interface window position or it will be broken and not display correctly**
  • By default, you will see the events for the month in your list.  When you click on a day, it will only show details for the events for that day.  For now, you will have to change the month forward/back and then back to the current month to deselect the selected day.  I'm working on a fix for that, but I'm sure it's some fiddly thing I need to do.
  • If you want to create an event on a specific day, click that day on the calendar and then click Add Event.  That will pre-populate the Add New Event dialogue box with the month, day, year and set the time for 12:00pm (noon).
  • Event notification icons have been added to the calendar view for dates with events occurring on them.  This is also channel specific, so changing channels will show different events.  If it becomes an issue later that people would prefer to see events & channel names on the event notifications, I may change the current behavior.
  • Mousing over the calendar box for the date will show a tooltip with the names of the day's events in it.
  • The calendar is arranged Sun - Sat, and auto-resizes for short months.  Sometimes it doesn't look pretty when the months are very short (Feb. 2015, for example), but the alternative was to fill a bunch of extra weeks just to look fancy.  I may change this later to always completely fill 6 weeks of data, but I may not.
  • For now, I have not added multi-channel support.  For most people, that really isn't a big deal.  If it becomes a big deal, I'll add it.  If not, I'll leave it the way it is.
  • I have fixed the canceled events bug that was causing them to still show up after the deadline had passed.  Currently, canceled events will continue to display until it would have been time for them to start.  I always suggest editing the event to an earlier time to make it go away sooner.  I may add the option to hide canceled events later, or hide them for people who weren't signed up to attend.
  • Lots of major and minor cosmetic changes to work with the calendar integration.  All of the globals should be gone, and there shouldn't be any watchers or debugging messages left except the notification that you've joined a channel.
