Version history for VueMinder Lite

<<Back to software description

Changes for v2018.02 - v2019.01

• Added the ability to sync events with any number of Google accounts, instead of being limited to only syncing with one account.
• Improved handling of errors when syncing with Google Calendar. Any errors that prevent syncing will be displayed on the Status Bar. For errors that VueMinder knows how to solve, a button will be provided to attempt an automated fix.
• Improved importing iCalendar (ics) files to use the currently selected calendar as the default destination calendar for the imported events, rather than creating a new calendar based on the calendar name found in the ics file.
• Improved importing iCalendar (ics) files to process URL properties. These will be shown in the imported event descriptions and can be clicked to open.
• Corrected subscribing to iCalendar URLs that require being opened in a newer web browser. VueMinder will mimic being a web browser, enabling the iCalendar URLs to be downloaded and processed.
• Corrected the "Today" notification that appears when VueMinder starts. If there are no upcoming events on the current date, the notification won't be displayed because all it contains is the current date.
• Corrected creating events in the Day and Week views on the Desktop Calendar. The created events will default to the timeslots selected on the Desktop Calendar, not the timeslots selected in the main VueMinder window.
• Corrected an intermittent error when opening contacts.
• Corrected handling of intermittent errors related to the text description editor which could result in the content of the Description tab not appearing when an event is opened.
• Corrected the storage location of Google OAuth2.0 tokens. These will be stored in the local VueMinder data folder, rather than a roaming user profile data folder.
• Translated into Bosnian and Portuguese (Brazil).
• Updated the Catalan, Dutch, German, and Portuguese (Portugal) translations.
• Other minor corrections and improvements.

Changes for v2018.01 - v2018.02

• Added the ability to format the title text that can be specified when printing.
• Added an option to show the printout title within the date header area of the Monthly print layout, rather than above the date header.
• Added the ability to run multiple instances of the USB version simultaneously as long as those instances are running from different locations.
• Improved performance and reliability of saving category, priority, and location data files. These files should no longer become corrupted.

• Improved the Contact Editor to include the contact's name in the window title.
• Corrected saving changes to events when the only modification is the time when the popup reminder is scheduled to appear. The change wouldn't get saved.
• Corrected importing reminders from iCalendar (ics) files/URLs when those reminders are scheduled to appear after an event starts instead of before. The reminders will now appear at the correct time after importing into VueMinder.
• Corrected exporting reminders to iCalendar (ics) files/URLs when reminders are scheduled to appear after the event starts instead of before. The TRIGGER value in the ics file will have the correct value instead of being 0.
• Corrected color-coding when an occurrence of a recurring series is modified to be associated with a different category and VueMinder has been configured to color events based on category. In some cases, the color of the modified event wouldn't refresh.
• Corrected saving of events that are not all-day and have a duration between 24 and 25 hours. The end time of the events would be incorrect when re-opened in the Event Editor and the duration would indicate "1 day" instead of the exact number of hours.

• Other minor corrections and improvements.

Changes for v2017.01 - v2017.02

• Improved the display of event creation and modification times when syncing with external calendars like Google Calendar or iCalendar subscriptions. The Details Pane will show when events were created or modified externally, not when the calendar was last synced.
• Improved the Details Pane when a modified occurrence of a recurring event is selected. If the event has been rescheduled or moved to a different location, the original time or location will be crossed out and followed by the updated value.
• Improved integration with PrintableCal. PrintableCal will use VueMinder's latest data when generating a printable calendar.
• Improved and updated the appearance of the mini desktop calendar. It will look better on Windows 10 now.
• Improved the auto-backup feature. If the specified auto-backup folder is unavailable, a message will appear indicating the backup failed and providing an option to change the auto-backup settings.
• Corrected cases in which deleted occurrences of recurring events could sometimes appear in VueMinder when importing iCalendar files or when subscribing to online calendars like Yahoo! Calendar.
• Corrected iCalendar subscriptions to not show duplicate events when recurring events have been edited externally (such as on Yahoo! Calendar) with the "This and all future events" option selected.
• Corrected exported iCalendar files to include event creation and modification times.
• Corrected the handling of improperly formatted data when editing a contact.
• Corrected the display of recurring events in the Week grid view. If the option to show occurrence numbers was enabled, the event location text would overlap the event title.
• Corrected changing the font name and size in the text editor. In some cases, the selected font wouldn't be applied and wouldn't be saved as the default.
• Corrected the reported number of events shown for backups in the Backup Data window. Note, this correction will only apply to new backups generated after updating.

• Improved the readability of generated web pages. Also improved the arrow buttons used for navigating between months.
