Group Calendar 5 released!

wobblewo — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 01:01:20 +0000

Group Calendar 5.0 is finished! The final release version is available in the forums or from curse.com or wowinterface.com. A huge thanks to the many players and guilds who helped testing through the beta cycles and for all the great feedback.

Look for 5.1 soon with “maybe” signups and the ability to tweak settings like disabling the tradeskill or other reminders. I plan to have it ready for patch 3.3.

Group Calendar 5 nearly complete

Group Calendar 5.0b10 is now available in the forums and is near-final. If you’ve been putting off trying GC5 because of its beta status, this would be a good one to try out as it should be very stable and is feature-complete. Help me with debugging by giving it a try and reporting any problems!

Group Calendar 5.0b5

wobblewo — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 20:11:23 +0000

I haven’t gotten much done lately due to problems with my right arm, but I did get a bugfix build of 5.0 done to address some of the more annoying bugs introduced by 5.0b4. The download is available in the GC5 forums (registration required) or on Curse or WoW Interface.

Group Calendar 5.0b2

wobblewo — Fri, 29 May 2009 18:24:48 +0000

A couple of the bugs reported against yesterday’s 5.0b1 build are significant enough that I think another build is needed to ensure that GC5 runs a smoothly as it can. I also fixed a couple of easy minor bugs and usability issues.

Version 5.0b2 Changes

* BUGFIX: New event notification no longer throws an error regarding “ShowIcon”
* BUGFIX: Error is no longer thrown when server takes too long returning class/level info when inviting
* BUGFIX: Inviting players to a raid after viewing the Group tab no longer throws an error
* BUGFIX: Added status message while waiting for server to respond to mass invite request
* BUGFIX: Weekday labels should be correct for calendars which don’t start on Sunday

Group Calendar 5.0b1

wobblewo — Thu, 28 May 2009 18:54:02 +0000

I’m finally ready to call it “beta”! All the major features for the first release are now implemented. This build adds new event notifications and fixes a few problems with the guild partnership feature. The most significant thing missing is automatic confirmations and personal events. Personal events (birthdays, doctor, etc.) just need some work to fix them up and I’m considering dropping the automatic confirmations feature from the first release and adding it for a “5.1″ release instead. The big sticking point with it is that I have to scan the calendar in the background, which means monitoring other addons accesses to the calendar API so I can suspend scanning while it’s in use. I’m also concerned about performance with that background scanning and want more time to think about that aspect as well.

Version 5.0b1 Changes

* FEATURE: Notification of new events
* FEATURE: Improved instructions in Parnters tab
* BUGFIX: Sync’ing with AFK or DND players no longer generates chat spam

Here are the known bugs, missing features, and suggestions I have in my list. Let me know if I’m missing some (I’m sure I am):

* BUG: Inviting AFK or already-grouped players may cause re-invites to that player to fail (can’t reproduce)
* BUG: Events don’t enforce the level restrictions during signups
* BUG: Editing text fields doesn’t activate Apply button until focus is lost
* BUG: Dates display comma instead of period as the separator in Europe and South America languages
* FEATURE: Personal events (birthday, doctor, …) are not implemented
* FEATURE: Chat notifications when players sign up for your events
* FEATURE: Version viewer and notifications are not implemented
* FEATURE: Reports for guild roster, members who didn’t respond to an event and event attendance, are not implemented
* FEATURE: Events need to be scanned in the background to load their details and attendance into the cache
* FEATURE: Event templates currently remember invites by player name instead of remembering by guild ranks when appropriate
* SUGGESTION: Resize calendar window
* SUGGESTION: Show Accepted players in the totals on the Group tab
* SUGGESTION: Report of guild members who didn’t respond to an event
* SUGGESTION: Filter out players who sign up with built-in calendar but don’t meet level requirements
* SUGGESTION: Show event creator in schedule tooltips

Outfitter 4.7.3

wobblewo — Wed, 20 May 2009 00:19:24 +0000

Not much new in this release other than updating the Argent Tournament script to recognize the slightly-renamed mounts in patch 3.1.2. Of course, if you use that script then this is a must have for the new patch :)

Version 4.7.3 changes

* FEATURE: Title menu reduced to 10 titles before overflow menu is used for better fit on small monitors
* FEATURE: Updated Argent Tournament script for patch 3.1.2 name changes

Group Calendar 5.0d13

wobblewo — Thu, 14 May 2009 00:36:15 +0000

Wow, build d12 was kind of a stinker. A couple of the bugs I fixed in d12 generated whole new bugs, including breaking the ability to event create announcements and guild events! Here’s d13 with the fixes for that. No new features (I’m working on the guild partnership code, previously known as guild alliances), just those bug fixes.

Version 5.0d13 Changes

* BUGFIX: Changing event modes no longer closes the editor
* BUGFIX: Raid invites should no longer be sent to players who are already in the group or are no longer part of the event
* BUGFIX: Hooked Level Range fields up again
* BUGFIX: Moved “New Event” and “Paste Event” strings to localization files
* BUGFIX: Fixed error sometimes thrown when viewing Groups tab
* BUGFIX: Corrected “xx players” string in Group tab to use localized strings

wobblewo — Sun, 10 May 2009 20:56:54 +0000

wobblewo — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 21:02:42 +0000

I’m releasing a new build since the previous build had problems with event creation and editing which prevent it from being useful for day-to-day use. This build fixes that problem as well as a few other minor bugs.

- BUGFIX: Guild Event and Guild Announcement event modes are now disabled when player doesn’t have permission to create them
