[Phpgroupware-users] Re: Calendar Enhancements

[Dave Hall]

Hi all,

I know I am reply to my own post, but it is a worthwhile follow up.
Here is a quick update on where this is at.

Inviting groups is now working again, as is a few other things which
were broken along the way, such as conflict detection and removing
participants.  

I have also added the ability list all contacts by using * as the search
criteria, but be aware that this can bring back a lot of contacts.

The HEAD version of calendar is now ready for production use, IMHO.

There are likely to be other changes to calendar along the way, I will
post details here before committing them.  If major changes are planned
I will probably create a "16compat" branch or something similar so
people can continue to use a stable HEAD version of calendar.

Thanks again to Straight Shooting Technology (SSC) for sponsoring these
mods.

Any feedback from people testing this new version would be
appreciated :)

Cheers

Dave
