| Mozilla updates Sunbird calendar application |
Jun. 28, 2007
Mozilla yesterday released a new version of its Sunbird standalone calendar application, v0.5, an upgrade from the current 0.3.1 edition. The new version includes support for Google Calendar, automatic migration capabilities from other plug-ins, and many performance improvements, the company said.
Sunbird has been available for a couple of years as an extension for Mozilla's Thunderbird email client and its Firefox browser. It was derived from the Mozilla suite's integrated calendar function.
Key changes in v0.5, according to the company, include: - 42 new calendars added
- Much more polished user interface in the calendar views
- Working hours are back
- Automatic migration of data in Sunbird 0.2, iCal.app, and Evolution
- Much improved printing functionality
- Support for Google Calendar (via the Google Calendar Provider extension)
- Vastly improved reliability
- Many usability improvements
- Mac builds are now Universal binaries
A full list of changes that have gone into this release can be found here.
Mozilla.org provides Sunbird for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X in a variety of languages. To get Sunbird 0.5, you can download it here. The development team asks that any bugs be reported immediately here.
