event will end as repeat for 5 events or until 1 January 2014.

event (scheduled after it ends) or pasted in the week view (scheduled where you click).

for restaurants, hotels and more. Try searching for Japanese restaurant near Address for example.
This requires a new permission: use approximate location.

Français, Italiano, Polski, Svenska, 繁體中文 and 简体中文! If you'd like to help add a language, send us an email
at digical@digibites.nl.

DigiCal+ Features
We've also added two major features for DigiCal+ users - a month widget in the grid style and custom background
colors for the day, day list, grid and month widgets. Thanks for your support!
Month widget
Widget configuration with color previews
Color picker with the current wallpaper as background to preview transparency
Other changes
-
Added workaround for HTC's "different" event reminder signals, notifications should work now on their
2012/2013 ICS roms.
- Added support for launching DigiCal from Cyanogenmod's clock, alternative method for CM 10.
- Added option abbreviate day of week (like Tuesday) on Day / Day List widget.
- Added a configure button on grid / month widget, replaces the hidden shortcut of tapping today.
-
Fixed too agressive widget updating delay; Android calendar fires "calendar changed" events every few
seconds when syncing, to avoid excessive CPU usage, we delay widget redraws to cap it at once per 30
seconds. But that leads to a long delay when you edit two events in a row, so now we clear the backoff timer
when saving an event so it shows up instantly.
- Fixed week view's scroll pane, overscroll could show a black bar.
- Fixed week view's time handling on a DST change date.
- Added intents to support Light Flow.
-
Potential fix for Exchange 2003 guest invitations. Unverified but can do no harm - please
send us an email if you experience or experienced this issue.
-
Added lookup error cause on location picker - sometimes Android's GeoCoder is not available, show why. If
it says "Service not available" tho, there isn't much we can do about it... We're planning to upgrade it to
Google Places later as a "fix".
New in 0.7.2
Localization!
We've added the first additional language in DigiCal: Dutch. Most of the text is now translated, but there are
still words here and there that aren't yet, we'll continue to improve it in the new versions. We've also
planned include other languages but could use some help. If you want to help us translate DigiCal in your
language, send us an email at digical@digibites.nl
There's also a new option in preferences to set the language within the app itself in Android 4.0+ so you can
decide to use DigiCal in English if you prefer that.

New in 0.7.1
Launch from notification pane
Users on Android 4.2 phones or higher can now launch DigiCal using the date “button” in the notification pane.
It doesn't seem to work on tablets yet, tested on a 4.2.2 N7 - Google will have to fix
that, the date is just not clickable.

instead of in the all day events area.

in the background, the user will get a message when one of those are detected.

this is a Google calendar limitation.

New in 0.4.4
Changed "Always open default view" setting default value to disabled
In Android, when you start an app with the launcher or via the recent apps list, you usually mean bringing
back the last visible screen back to top. DigiCal has a setting to go back to the default view when you launch
it from the launcher, but as a side effect, it creates an extra entry in the recent apps list.
As that's quite annoying, more than we expected when we introduced the setting, the default for that preference
is now set to disabled and we've added extra informational messages to explain this when you change that
setting.
Other changes
- Added new crash reporter via ACRA, this will allow us to find and fix crashes faster. You can disable
it in the preferences.
- Fixed single day widget background transparancy issue.
- Added the choice None in rest day setting. By default it is set to highlight Sunday in red, but
this way you can disable the highlighting if you wish.
- Fixed pasting of events with custom color to keep the color.
- Fixed saving of reminders on some Android 2.2/2.3 devices.
New in 0.4.3

few days. (Android 3.0+ required)
Other changes
- Added show start and end time options to the grid widget.
- (4.0+) Added event privacy and free/busy flags in editor.
- Improved app start up time. We used to disable redundant widget sizes on launch, but while it takes
zero seconds on most devices, on some Samsung phones that causes a two second delay. We've moved
enable/disable all widget sizes to the options to workaround this issue.
- Fixed force close with recurrent event editing on certain Android 2.3 phones.
- Fixed zombie widget issue caused by launcher bugs, trigged by a cancelling the widget configuration.
- Improved performance of the month calendar.

problem with it, please report it so we can fix it.

Day view widget
We've added the simple day

make it into a 1x1 widget.

New in 0.3.0
Much improved widget
The widget has been overhauled in this version. Now when you create the widget, you can modify the
configuration by selecting a font size preset (small, medium or large) and customize almost everything in it.
For users on an Android 2.x device, we've added all sizes between 2x2 to 4x4 to the widget selection list.
Users on 3.0 or higher will be presented with a more limited selection, only 2x2, 3x3 and 4x4 is shown to
prevent spamming the widgets list - you can just pick any and resize the widget to your liking.
In addition to these improvements, the code behind the scenes have been rewritten from scratch to ensure the
best speed and compatibility with all devices. If you still have an issue, please do send an email to digical@digibites.nl and we'll do our best to help you solve it.
DigiCal+ features
We've promised additional features for DigiCal+ users, and with this update, the first of them have been
added! Now you can access additional widget settings for custom font sizes and the background transparency in
addition to an ad-free experience.
Select start up screen
There's now a new option to select which view to display when the app is started in the preferences. This
only applies to when the app is first started, not when it's brought to the front via an launcher icon or the
recents (alt-tab) screen.
(Experimental) Hardware acceleration
The previous versions of DigiCal had hardware acceleration disabled because of Android bugs, but as the bug
we've reported is fixed in Jelly Bean, we've added an option so you can enable hardware acceleration in the app
if you wish on all devices running Honeycomb or higher so you can try and see if it's stable on your device.
If you have any issue with crashes related to hardware acceleration, please submit a bug report to digical@digibites.nl.
This setting is enabled by default on devices running Jelly Bean.
Thanks again for using DigiCal
