Calendar Magic V14.0 is now available from:
http://www.stokepoges.plus.com
It has also been submitted to Simtel and should be visible by tomorrow
from:
http://www.simtel.net/pub/dl/55320.shtml
New features and bug fixes include:
The observed days listed for any country now include the relevant New
Year related, Christian festival related, Orthodox related, and Islamic
festival related days. In previous releases such days were not given
country by country but only listed once under "Various".
Added the dates of the beginning and end of Daylight Saving Time (DST)
to the list of observed days, for any country using DST, for years from
2003 onwards. Note that, in some cases (Australia, Brazil, Canada, USA),
DST does not apply in all parts of the country.
Started the process of adding extra public holidays to lists of observed
days, caused by certain observed days falling at the weekend. Additional
observed days also added for many countries. Input from users will be
gratefully received!
Created a new command button for the dates of Islamic festivals in any
Gregorian year.
Added the following observed days under "various" - International Thank
You Day, International Women of Colour Day, International Children's
Day, International Children's Book Day, International Migratory Bird
Day, International Midwives Day, International Museum Day, International
Day of the African Child, International Lefthanders Day, International
Internet Day, International Computer Security Day, International
Volunteers Day and International Civil Aviation Day.
At the request of a user, added the relevant Patron Saint's day for each
country to the lists of observed days for England, Northern Ireland,
Scotland, Wales and the Republic of Ireland. Also added Trafalgar Day
(Oct. 21) to the list of observed days for England.
Updated Cambodian observed days information, thanks to input from a user
(John McQuilan).
Modified slightly the layout of the "What time is it in?" form to reduce
the amount of screen space it occupies.
In response to a user suggestion, added an explanatory note at the end
of the Hebrew Festivals output to emphasise that, unlike Gregorian days,
Hebrew days run from sunset to sunset. As a result, each Hebrew festival
commences on one Gregorian day and finishes on the following one.
In Calendar Comparison, changed the default status message to make it
more clear that you can select any day value displayed by left-clicking
it.
Eliminated the need to install the font symbols.ttf, (but moon.ttf must
still be installed if it is not already installed on a system).
Underlining of red numbers in Calendar Comparison and Reminders by Month
no longer extends to leading spaces.
Fixed bug in "Before or After" code connected with results in which the
"logical" resulting date does not exist, e.g. 1 month before March 31,
2004, 1 year after Feb. 29, 2004 etc. The solution adopted is to return
the error message "Illogical request!". If you have other suggestions,
please let me know.
Fixed heading and column alignment problem in Calendar Comparison and
Reminders by Month reported by a user. This occurred on rare occasions
on a few PC systems.
Fixed screen problem with all white backgrounds not being exactly the
same shade of white. This minor discrepancy was spotted by an eagle-eyed
user.
Changed starting year for Ethiopian observed day "Downfall of the
Dergue" to 1992 since, according to a user, the event took place in
1991.
Enjoy!
