What´s new in version 8.2.0:

• NOTE: This version requires Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5. Due to this dependency, VueMinder Calendar is no longer compatible with Windows 98/ME.

• Added the ability to hear a voice (text-to-speech) reminder when a popup reminder or desktop alert appears.
• Added a 'Transfer Data to VueMinder Portable' command to the File menu, for easy transfer of data to the Portable (USB) version of VueMinder Calendar. The Portable version has also been improved with a command for transferring data in the opposite direction.
• Added a 'Tomorrow' option to the various date range drop-down lists.
• Added an option for selecting which columns should be visible in the popup reminder window.
• Added a maximize/restore button to the upper-right corner of the desktop calendar. It will now be possible to have the desktop calendar fill the entire desktop.

• Improved media playback on the popup reminder window to be more reliable and use less memory. The look-and-feel of the playback controls have also been improved.
• Improved the popup reminder window to recall the number of visible reminder rows.
• Improved the desktop alert reminder settings to allow looping of a wav file.

• Improved the Google Calendar sync settings to allow events older than 4000 days to be included.
• Improved printing to recall the previous selected paper size and orientation, and use those settings as the default.

• Improved the icons in the Calendar List to more clearly indicate the types of calendars (Google Calendar, subscription, or local).
• Improved the active calendar indicator in the Calendar List to be separate from the calendar icon.
• Improved the active row indicator used in various lists, such as in the Recent Reminders window and popup reminder window.

• Corrected handling of recurring event variations when importing or subscribing to an ICS file, to prevent duplicate entries.

• Corrected pasting into the event title field. The pasted text was going into the description instead.
• Corrected performance problems when a large number of contacts are defined. The Event Editor window will open much more quickly now.
• Corrected handling of desktop alerts, to avoid a condition where the program hasn't run for several days and a large number of past-due desktop alerts can potentially fill up the entire screen. Only 16 will be displayed at a time.

• Corrected the font size of the Month Navigation Pane, to recall the previous font size selection when the program is restarted.

What's New in version 8.1.1:

• Added Day and Week View Settings to hide event descriptions. This setting could be used if your workplace requires it (i.e., HIPAA regulations), or if you want to keep details of events hidden from prying eyes.
• Corrected problems with reminders reappearing after having been dismissed, or appearing at the wrong time after snoozing.
• Corrected snoozing and dismissing of popup reminders for recurring events that have been configured to show occurrence numbers.

• Improved the Calendar Properties window to disable tabs instead of hiding them. Hovering the mouse over a tab will present a tooltip explaining why the tab is disabled. For example, when a calendar is synced with Google Calendar, the Subscribe and tab will be disabled and a reason shown.
• Improved opening of events belonging to recurring series. Hold the Alt key while double-clicking an event to open just that occurrence. The window asking to open the occurrence or series will not be shown.
• Corrected stability problems and other odd behavior. If you've noticed events disappearing, reminders not being processed, events not opening, red X's in the Month view, or other strange behavior, this version should fix it.
• Corrected exiting of the program, where it would sometimes crash or hang and need to be killed via the Task Manager.
• Corrected problems with reminders sometimes disappearing from the popup reminder window.
• Corrected the color of desktop alerts for recurring events, when the mouse is moved over the desktop alert. Previously, the desktop alert background and text colors would be lost, making the reminder text impossible to see.
• Corrected the opening of events from the popup reminder window or desktop alert. Sometimes, the event would indicate it belongs to an unassigned calendar and any changes would not be saved.
• Corrected handling of reminders for events that belong to calendars that sync with Google Calendar. The reminders would sometimes disappear from the popup reminder window, without snooze or dismiss being commanded.
• Corrected sync problems when an event is reassigned from one calendar to another from within Google Calendar.

• Corrected sorting of rows in the Recent Reminders window. When sorting by the Start/Due column, the rows will now be sorted in chronological order instead of alphabetically.

• Corrected the text displayed when hovering over a date in the Navigation Pane, to not indicate previously deleted events are hidden.
• Other minor corrections.

What´s new in this version 8.0.1:

• Corrected the "Next" button on the Export Events window, to properly advance to the next step of the export.
• Corrected the text description/details editor to process keyboard shortcuts such as Ctrl+X and Ctrl+Z while it has input focus. These commands were going to the main window instead, causing events and other selections to be incorrectly modified or deleted.
• Corrected an intermittent problem that can occur when printing an event from its editor window.
• Corrected a problem with the "Show Completed Events" command on the View menu. When unchecked, it was not properly hiding completed events.
• Corrected the option for always showing an icon in the taskbar. The option was being ignored and the main window was always minimizing to the system tray instead of the taskbar.
• Corrected a problem with the calendar list, where calendars were sometimes not being shown in the list.

• Added an option to specify a range of times for display in the Day and Week views. Time slots outside the specified range will be hidden to reduce the amount of scrolling needed.
• Added a "Insert Thumbnail" command to the text editor used for events. Any number of variable-sized thumbnails can be inserted into a description. These thumbnails can also be clicked to view the full-sized images.
• Improved moving of the desktop calendar. Simply click and drag to reposition it.
• Improved the appearance of the main window and changed the background color of tooltips to a light gray for easier reading.
• Improved event tooltips to show category and priority information.

• Improved the Restore Data command so it will also restore any customizations that have been made to the menus, toolbars, and keyboard shortcuts.

• Corrected the text editor when adding new lines, to not insert an additional line and to not hide the caret position.
