Calendar Magic V15.4 is now available for downloading from:
http://www.stokepoges.plus.com
and, within a few days, from:
http://www.simtel.net/pub/dl/55320.shtml
Enhancements and bug fixes include:
Converted code from Visual Basic 5 to Visual Basic 6.
Provided more user flexibility, in the choice of sounds produced by
Calendar Magic, by switching from the use of Visual Basic's Beep command
to the sndPlaySound 32-bit Windows API. Three default WAV files are now
provided - alarm.wav, calculator.wav and reminder.wav - for use by the
alarm clock, scientific calculator and imminent reminders warning
respectively.
Added around 500 towns and cities to Calendar Magic's worldwide
locations database bringing the total to 8000.
Provided default customised country and locations files, mycountry.dat
and mycities.dat, covering the capital cities and towns in the world.
Added the Revised Julian calendar to Calendar Magic, bringing the number
of fully supported calendar systems to 23.
Adjusted the calculation of New Calendarist Style Orthodox observed
days, for years from 2800 onwards, in line with the use of the Revised
Julian calendar.
Implemented the astronomical version of the Persian calendar for Persian
years up to 2500.
Slightly modified the use of coloured buttons on the main Calendar Magic
screen in the light of feedback received.
Choosing coloured or all grey buttons on the main Calendar Magic screen,
by means of the F12 key, is now a "sticky" option.
In the "Alarm Clock", added a text-box where you can type in an optional
personal reminder of what is to be done when an alarm occurs.
In Month Calendars, you may now leave the Year text-box blank to return
to the current calendar year for any calendar system.
In the Time Calculator, the limitation on input day values has been
increased from 32767 to 2147483647, with a corresponding increase in the
sizes of results.
In "Before or After", double-clicking either output text-box will now
re-apply the offset to the calculated date.
Added dates of Mother's Day and Father's Day to lists of Observed Days
for a number of additional countries.
Added the Ching Ming Festival (Tomb Sweeping Day) to the list of
Observed Days for China.
In "Date Conversions" when the spin button is used to
increment/decrement dates, improved the handling of situations where the
supported lower or upper limit of a calendar system has been reached.
Sticky "What Time is it in?" places are now held in the file
myplaces.dat.
Changed the way in which default data values are provided during
installation. As a result, certain installation files no longer have to
be renamed to ensure that user specified values are not overwritten.
Corrected two dates in the list of Observed Days for Iran and fixed a
bug in the DST adjustment code for Iran.
Fixed a rarely occurring bug in the code for converting Persian
arithmetic calendar dates to Julian day values.
Enjoy!
