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
