V13.8 is now available for download from:
http://www.stokepoges.plus.com
or
http://www.simtel.net/pub/dl/55320.shtml
New features/bug fixes include:
Responding to a user request, a new command button "On This Date" has
been added. This will list all events (observed days) in Calendar
Magic's database falling on any specified date.
Another user pointed out that, whenever a Julian Day value is displayed
as a decimal number, the calculation should be performed using UT
(Universal Time) and not local time. This is now done in V13.8.
A second type of "planning calendar" has been provided, namely a regular
Gregorian calendar with ISO week numbers added.
V13.8, satisfying another user request, also produces the equivalent
Japanese nengo year as part of the output when a Gregorian date in any
year from 1873 to 2015 is converted to dates in other calendar systems.
The Japanese nengo year is also listed in the "New Years' Days" output.
To improve clarity on some monitor screens, highlighted days in red in
the "Calendar Comparison" and "Reminders by Month" displays are now
additionally underlined.
Lists of Observed Days for any country are no longer produced for years
after 3000 (Gregorian). This is because some of the astronomical
algorithms involved, e.g. in connection with the Chinese and Vietnamese
calendars, cannot be fully trusted beyond 3000.
"Liberation Day (July 22)" has been deleted from the list of Polish
observed days. Apparently this holiday has not been celebrated since
1989.
