Fixed a crash that sometimes occurred when printing event attendee names.

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y February 21, 2013

Fixed the short name of the --maxNumNoteChars argument: it was in conflict with the short name of the --noCalendarNames option. --noCalendarNames's short name remains -nc and --maxNumNoteChars is now -nnc. Thanks to Steffen Nauhaus for noticing this.

Added Chinese localization file. Courtesy of Lingtian Cheng — 谢谢!

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y January 30, 2013

Added support for listing the attendees of an event. (This patch was submitted by Tarek Rogers — thanks!)

Added the -na / --maxNumAttendees argument, which allows you to limit the number of displayed attendee names.

Added the -nc / --maxNumNoteChars argument, which allows you to limit the number of characters shown from event notes.

We now trim whitespace from event notes before displaying them.

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y September 01, 2012

Fixed a crash that occurred whenever the -sp ("separate by priority") argument was used on a system without a localization file. Thanks to Ed Martin for reporting this.

File owners and access rights (the executable, and the man pages) should now be preserved when installing/upgrading. Thanks to Jeremy Kemp for reporting this.

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y August 02, 2012

Fixed a crash that occurred on Mountain Lion when the app was denied access to the user's contacts.

Fixed bug where some log messages about contact age calculations was printed into the output.

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y July 01, 2012

When printing events in the Birthdays calendar, the age of the person will be printed as well. Note: if you are using a custom localization file, this requires that the localization string for someonesBirthday contains a placeholder for the age (e.g. %@'s birthday (age %i)). Learn more from the icalBuddyLocalization man page.

You can now print any part of an event or a task in the color of the calendar it belongs to. To do this, you would use calendar-color as a color value in the "formatting" section of the configuration file. Learn more from the icalBuddyConfig man page.

Added translations for task priority section titles for French and Spanish.

Added Japanese translation by Walter Scarborough (domo arigato!)

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y April 12, 2012

Added the -ea (or --excludeAllDayEvents) argument, which can be used to omit all-day events from the output.

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y March 17, 2012

Added the -sp (or --separateByPriority) argument, which can be used to separate tasks by priority in the output.

When running icalBuddy calendars, the calendar colors are now used, which should make it easier to distinguish which calendar is which if some of them have the same name (particularily a problem with Exchange calendars).

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y January 22, 2012

Added possibility to list all uncompleted tasks that have no due date. The output command for this is undatedUncompletedTasks.

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y January 01, 2012

Fixed mistake in documentation: the long form of the -npn argument is --noPropNames instead of --noPropertyNames.

Dropped support for PowerPC in the precompiled binaries (Apple's new dev tools (XCode 4) do not support PPC development anymore). You can still compile icalBuddy for PowerPC using older dev tools, though.

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y November 16, 2011

Calendars can now be included/excluded by type: the -ict (or --includeCalTypes) argument includes only items from calendars of the given types, and the -ect (or --excludeCalTypes) argument excludes items from calendars of the given types. The calendar types you can specify are CalDAV/iCloud, Exchange, IMAP, Local, Subscription, and Birthday. See the man page for more info on this feature.

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y November 01, 2011

Added the syntax specifiers for the -df and -tf (or --dateFormat and --timeFormat) argument values into the main man page because Apple's documentation for those has mysteriously disappeared from their web site.

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y June 28, 2011

Added Spanish localization file by Mario Carballo (gracias!)

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y April 17, 2011

Fixed a bug where the formattedKeywords feature did not work when the command argument tasksDueBefore:DATE was used. (Thanks to John V. for reporting this.)

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y March 22, 2011

Fixed a bug that caused a crash whenever items that have a completely empty title would be printed.

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y January 25, 2011

Fixed a bug introduced in the latest version where some arguments stopped working whenever they were used with their long names (e.g. --showUIDs instead of -uid).

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y January 20, 2011

Fixed bug where date sections were listed for each day that all multi-day-spanning events that occur during the specified date range spanned, even when these dates fell outside of the user-specified range. (Thanks to Karin H. for reporting this.)

Fixed bug where dates without a time (especially natural-language dates such as 'january 18, 2011') specified in the eventsFrom:DATE to:DATE command were considered with the time 12:00:00 by default (except if they were relative dates such as "tomorrow" or "today", in which case they were considered with the time 00:00:00). Now the times considered for dates specified without a time are 00:00:00 or 23:59:59 depending on whether the given date specifies the start or the end of a range, respectively.

• Note 1: Scripts that use eventsFrom:to: without specifying times for the date ranges, and expect the times to be interpreted as 12:00 (noon), will have to be modified to explicitly specify the times.
• Note 2: Scripts that use relative dates with shift amounts (like "tomorrow+1") for the eventsFrom:to: action might need to be modified, usually to remove one from the shift amount of the date specifying the end of the desired range — for example with this update you would use eventsFrom:tomorrow to:tomorrow to get events only for tomorrow (in previous versions the end date needed to be tomorrow+1, which is unintuitive).

Fixed bug where incorrect date ranges were listed when using the -sed (or --showEmptyDates) argument for printing tasks.

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y January 06, 2011

Added Dutch localization file by Patrick Buntsma (Dank je wel!).

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y August 30, 2010

It's now possible to use some relative dates when using the eventsFrom:to: command argument (e.g.: icalBuddy eventsFrom:tomorrow to:"day after tomorrow").

It's now possible to specify a shift amount (i.e. number of days to add to or remove from) for relative dates (day before yesterday, yesterday, now, today, tomorrow or day after tomorrow) by adding +NUM or -NUM to the end (e.g. icalBuddy tasksDueBefore:yesterday-10).

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y August 22, 2010

Fixed a bug in the install script where it failed whenever the user did not have access rights to create the directory structure for the target path.

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y August 21, 2010

Fixed bugs in the new install script:

• The installer failed to find the installable files when run by opening it in Finder
• The installer did not work at all on Leopard due to an incompatibility with Leopard's older version of Python

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y August 20, 2010

Improved the install script. It should now be easier to install to custom locations such as under your home directory.

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y July 09, 2010

If no date or time formats are specified (via the -df or -tf arguments) icalBuddy will use the standard formats from the system preferences (in Snow Leopard, they're under Language & Text → Formats).

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y July 08, 2010

Dates (for eventsFrom:DATE to:DATE and tasksDueBefore:DATE) can now be given in a more free format: for example "tomorrow at noon" or "june 10 at 6 pm".

The -d (or --debug) argument has been added; this will make icalBuddy print out some diagnostic information into the standard error stream (at the moment, it will print out info about how dates given in the input are interpreted).

Implemented custom date format specifier %RD which stands for "relative day" (or "date difference in days"): for example yesterday or 5 days from now. This (just like the "relative week" specifier %RW) can be used in the -df (or --dateFormat) argument values.

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y July 05, 2010

Added argument -uid (or --showUIDs) which will let you see the UIDs (unique identifiers) of events or tasks in your calendars.

The install.command script now allows for specifying a custom prefix for installation (example: install.command --prefix=~/opt) and it also automatically adjusts the default installation path to wherever icalBuddy seems to be installed already (for updating).

The uninstall.command script is able to search for the files to uninstall from nonstandard locations as long as the icalBuddy executable's parent directory is in the PATH environment variable.

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y June 09, 2010

Added output command tasksDueBefore:DATE which can be used to output only uncompleted tasks/todos that have a due date before the given DATE value (which can be given as today+NUM, tomorrow or "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS ±HHMM")

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y June 09, 2010

Added argument -npn (or --noPropNames) which tells icalBuddy to omit property names from the output (e.g. output "My house" instead of "location: My house" etc.)

Calendar names are now colored using the calendar color in section titles as well (i.e. when using the -sc (or --separateByCalendar) argument) unless a section title foreground color has been specified in the configuration file's formatting section.

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y April 28, 2010

This is simply a new build of the latest version without a 64-bit Intel binary — some people that are running Leopard have been having icalBuddy hang on them and eat loads of memory and it seems this might be due to a bug in the 64-bit CalendarStore framework on Leopard (I don't have a Leopard machine to test on so thanks goes to Avery Chan for helping out with this). This update is a potential fix to those issues. If anyone for some reason wants a 64-bit icalBuddy, they can build it manually by executing the following command in the directory where they unzipped the release archive (before running the installation script): make 64BIT=1

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y April 08, 2010

Print the ANSI escape sequences that reset the formatting applied for the section titles after the titles, but before the next newline.

The closest equivalent ANSI colors for colors set for calendars in iCal should be chosen more wisely now (i.e. the chosen ANSI color will more closely resemble the actual calendar color).

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y February 21, 2010

Fixed a bug where when using the -sed (or --showEmptyDates) argument (and separating events by date), the date span to display sections for was interpreted as "span between the first and last found event" when the more logical solution is "span specified by user in the arguments" (which is how it works now).

Fixed a bug where the start time for a multi-day-spanning timed event was shown under all of the days it spans when separating events by date and excluding event end datetimes (now in these cases the start time is displayed as "..." under days on which the event does not start).

When printing events separated by date, the start and end times for a timed event that neither starts or ends on the date under which it's shown are now displayed as "... - ..." (instead of not at all).

The latin translation for "nothing" was fixed.

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y February 03, 2010

Added the -sed (or --showEmptyDates) argument that display sections for empty dates (i.e. dates that have no items) that fall within the specified range as well. This argument applies only if the -sd (or --separateByDate) argument is used.

The tab (\t) escape sequence is now interpreted in some argument values.

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y February 01, 2010

Added italian localization file by Giuseppe Sacco (grazie!)

A few escape sequences (most notably newlines, i.e. \n) are now interpreted for some arguments that take arbitrary strings as their values.

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y January 22, 2010

The application's Universal Binary now contains 64-bit Intel (x86_64) code in addition to 32-bit Intel (i386) and 32-bit PowerPC (ppc) code.

Added polish localization file by RybA. (dzięki!)

Added latin localization file by Miller Krause (gratiae!)

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y January 16, 2010

An uninstallation script is now included.

The default bullet point has been changed from an asterisk (*) to an actual bullet point (•).

Bright ANSI colors are now considered when determining the closest equivalent ANSI color for the actual color of a calendar.

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y January 11, 2010

If output formatting is turned on (via the -f or --formatOutput argument) and no foreground color is specified for event/task titles (in the config file's formatting section), the closest ANSI color to the color of the calendar will be used as the title foreground color.

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y December 02, 2009

If the date or time format is an empty string, the date/time separator (e.g. " at ") won't be displayed.

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y November 24, 2009

Added support for bright foreground and background ANSI colors as well as blinking text.

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y November 12, 2009

Added German Localization file by Wolf Mc Ewen (Danke schön!)

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y October 08, 2009

Improved the formatting for the list of changes since the currently installed version (in the self auto-update feature invoked via icalBuddy -u).

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y October 03, 2009

Made the automatic update feature work even if you don't have the links command-line browser installed (this is quite embarrassing but I forgot that it doesn't ship with Mac OS X by default)

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y September 29, 2009

When sorting tasks by due date, in ascending order, put tasks without due date last (instead of first).

Made the -ic (or --includeCals) and -ec (or --excludeCals) arguments work when using the calendars command.

Fixed a crashing bug related to the self auto-update feature.

Fixed the install script's colored output on Snow Leopard.

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y August 02, 2009

Fixed a bug in the installation script that caused it to fail when run under a path that contained spaces.

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y July 06, 2009

Added the -std (or --sortTasksByDate) argument, which sorts tasks simply by their due dates (in descending order), as well as the -stda (or --sortTasksByDateAscending) argument, which does the same but in ascending order.

Fixed a bug where specifying the value "*" for either the -eep or the -etp arguments would exclude all properties instead of everything but the titles.

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y May 15, 2009

Added the -eed (or --excludeEndDates) argument, which excludes the dates/times of when events end from the output.

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y April 27, 2009

Added formatting keyword calendarNameInTitle which can be used to specify the formatting of the calendar names that are printed in parentheses next to event/task titles. (See the configuration file man page for more info on formatting keywords.)

Added localization keyword dateTimeSeparator which specifies what to print between the date and the time — in english, for example, " at " is used. (See the localization file man page for more info on localization keywords.)

Removed the -dts (or --dateTimeSeparator) argument due to the value it sets being specified in the localization file now.

Improved the formatting of the list of changes since the current version when running the automatic update (icalBuddy -u, followed by option a when you get the question of how to proceed.)

Added french localization file (by Matthieu Sieben — merci!)

Added PDF versions of all the three manual pages into the distribution package.

Added the FAQ html file into the distribution package.

Cleaned up the code in various places.

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y April 19, 2009

Added the -ps (or --propertySeparators) argument, which can be used to specify what to separate printed item properties with. The value for this argument is a string where each component is separated by an arbitrary character (which must also be present at the start and the end), like this: "|-first-|-second-|-third-|". The components in this list will be used as the separators between item properties in order from first (for the first printed property for an item) to last, using the last one several times if too few are specified. The default is "|\n |" (that's a newline followed by four spaces, used as the separator for all properties.) This argument can be used to print item properties on the same line (just specify a value that does not include a newline.)

Added an automatic update feature: run icalBuddy -u to check for updates and then if an update is found, respond to the question of how to proceed with option a, and icalBuddy will first display you a list of what's changed since the version you're running and then ask if you'd like it to automatically download the distribution package and update itself.

Added the -nnr (or --notesNewlineReplacement) argument, which can be used to specify the string to use for replacing newlines within values of the notes property.

Removed the -i (or --indent) argument (not needed anymore due to the new -ps argument, which provides similar behaviour in a more flexible way.)

Removed the -nni (or --notesNewlinesIndent) argument (not needed anymore due to the new -nnr argument, which provides similar behaviour in a more flexible way.)

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y April 16, 2009

Fixed bug where multi-day-spanning events were shown for each and every day they span, regardless of the specified date range to display, when using the -sd (or --separateByDate) argument. (as reported and tested by Kene and Micah -- thanks)

Added the -li (or --limitItems) argument which can be used to limit the number of printed items (events/tasks) to a maximum number.

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y March 27, 2009

Added the possibility to fully customize the formatting (colors, bolding, underlining) icalBuddy uses for the output (when the -f (or: --formatOutput) argument is used) via a per-user configuration file. See the icalBuddyConfig man page for documentation.

Added the possibility to set "constant" argument values via the per-user configuration file (that is, argument values that will always be true when you run icalBuddy, without having to always explicitly provide them as arguments to the executable.) See the icalBuddyConfig man page for documentation.

Added command arguments editConfig and editConfigCLI for automatically creating the configuration file if it doesn't exist and opening it in an editor (so for example you can run icalBuddy editConfig to open the configuration file in a GUI editor and icalBuddy editConfigCLI to open it in a command-line editor.)

Display the currently logged in user's birthday event from the Birthdays calendar by default as "My Birthday" (this is also localizable by using the key myBirthday.)

Fixed bug where parts of the output that were affected by command-line arguments were garbled if non-ASCII characters were passed in as the values for those arguments.

Made the default value of the section separator string "\n------------------------": the leading newline is now part of the section separator which means that it is now possible to either keep the section separator on the same line with the section title by specifying a value that doesn't have a newline in the beginning (e.g. icalBuddy -ss " -----") or just omit it completely by specifying an empty string (e.g. icalBuddy -ss "".)

Added argument -nni (or: --notesNewlinesIndent) for modifying the number of indenting whitespace characters to use when indenting additional lines in the "notes" property values. So for example if you're using icalBuddy with GeekTool and a non-fixed-width font, the indenting level for additional lines in the notes property values might be a bit off, so now you can use this argument to fix this (for example, run icalBuddy -nni 4 in order to add four whitespace characters to the indenting or icalBuddy -nni -2 to remove two.)

Made the "usage" output (i.e. what you see when you run icalBuddy without any arguments) a lot more succinct.

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y March 16, 2009

Implemented localization support: you can now create a property list file at ~/.icalBuddyLocalization.plist containing a dictionary mapping of localization keys (e.g. "someonesBirthday") to their human-readable equivalents (e.g. "%@'s Birthday"). Documentation for this feature can be found in the icalBuddyLocalization man page: just type man icalBuddyLocalization into the terminal. An example localization file for Finnish is included.

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y March 11, 2009

Implemented output type eventsFrom:to: which allows you to specify any arbitrary date range for getting the events to be displayed. An example: icalBuddy eventsFrom:"2009-01-01 10:12:13 +02:00" to:"2009-02-02 20:22:23 +02:00"

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y March 05, 2009

Fixed a bug where multi-day-spanning events were only displayed under the start day when separating by day (e.g. an event that spans from monday to tuesday would only be displayed under monday.)

Fixed a bug where sections would be displayed for the starting days of multi-day-spanning events (where the span would include the current date) when separating by day, even when the start date was before the current date (e.g. a section for "yesterday" would be shown with an event that spans from monday to tuesday if you ran icalBuddy -sd on tuesday.)

Fixed regression where past events for the current date were not shown when separating by day even though the -n argument was not set.

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y February 26, 2009

Fixed bug where the -i argument was not taken into account when indenting additional lines for values of the "notes" property (only exhibited if note values have line breaks.)

Fixed bug where having percentage characters (%) in any of the calendar items (i.e. in their titles or in any properties) made the output get garbled.

Added a lot more colors into the output (via ANSI escape sequences) if the -f argument is set.

Added more possible values for the "relative dates" (i.e. dates that are easily identifiable with a simple natural language phrase or word (in relation to the current date) instead of the standard representation specified by the date formatting string): in addition to "today" and "tomorrow", dates may now also be displayed as "day after tomorrow", "yesterday" or "day before yesterday".

Added argument -nrd (or: --noRelativeDates) for disabling the "relative dates" feature (see previous point.)

Cleaned up the code a bit.

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y February 21, 2009

Implemented custom date formatting specifier %RW, which stands for "relative week" (for example: last week, this week, next week, 2 weeks from now etc.) It can now be used in values for the date format (-df or --dateFormat) argument.

Added argument -b "value" (or --bullet "value") for specifying the string to use as the "bullet point" (the default is "* ".)

Added argument -ab "value" (or --alertBullet "value") for specifying the string to use as the "alert bullet point" (the default is "! ".)

Added argument -i "value" (or --indent "value") for specifying the string to use as the indentation for lines other than the first one for each item (i.e. the one that gets the bullet point) (the default is four spaces: "    ".)

Added argument -ss "value" (or --sectionSeparator "value") for specifying the string to use as the "section separator" (i.e. the string that separates sections from items that belong to that section) (the default is "------------------------".)

Made installation a bit easier: the install script has been renamed to install.command so that you can run it directly from Finder by double-clicking. It will also tell you what it's going to do and prompt you to continue or cancel before actually starting to install.

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y February 19, 2009

Fixed a regression where the due date for a task was not indented or bulleted properly in the output.

Fixed a regression where the "alert" bullet point (an exclamation point (!) instead of an asterisk (*)) was not used for tasks that are late.

Fixed a regression where the URLs for events in the birthdays calendar were shown (they're not supposed to be shown to users.)

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y February 17, 2009

Added shell script install.sh for installing the binary and the man page into the default locations so that users wouldn't need to have the OS X developer tools (i.e. make that's needed in order to run make install) installed. Update (feb 18, 2009): actually added the install.sh file into the package (it was missing before) :)

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y February 08, 2009

Added argument -sd (or --separateByDate) which will separate items in the output by their dates (start dates in the case of events and due dates in the case of tasks.)

Added argument -po (or --propertyOrder) which can be used to specify the order in which item (event or task) properties appear in the output. The allowed values (in the default order) are the following: title, location, notes, url, datetime, priority.

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y February 06, 2009

Added output type argument "eventsNow" which outputs only events that are occurring at present time (i.e. right now.)

Added the -nc (or --noCalendarNames) argument, which omits the names of the calendars that events or tasks belong to from the output.

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y February 06, 2009

Fixed some mistakes in documentation and added documentation for the "eventsToday+NUM" feature.

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y February 05, 2009

Made it possible to display events from farther on in the future by adding "+NUM" to the end of the "eventsToday" argument, where NUM is the number of days into the future you would like to see (i.e. "icalBuddy eventsToday+2" to also see events for tomorrow and the day after.)

Changed the -s (or --separate) argument to -sc (or --separateByCalendar) in order to allow for distinctions between different kinds of separation (like separation of items by date, which will be coming in a future update.)

Removed the -dtf (or --dateTimeFormat) argument as redundant (we can just use a combination of the date formatting string and the time formatting string to get a date-time formatting string.)

Added argument -dts (or --dateTimeSeparator) for specifying the separator string between dates and times in the output. The default is " at ".

Added some simple cases where dates would be formatted as natural language relative to the current date (e.g. "today" or "tomorrow" instead of "2009-02-05".)

Fixed the tinyurl links to Apple's date formatting string syntax documentation.

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y October 11, 2008 http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y August 01, 2008

Changed the default output string encoding to UTF-8.

Added option --strEncoding for setting the desired output string encoding.

Added possible output_type value "strEncodings" so that you can run icalBuddy strEncodings to see all the possible values for the --strEncoding option.

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y July 28, 2008

Added parameter (-f or --formatOutput) to specify whether to format the output via ANSI espace sequences (in order to make it more readable). Currently this only makes the titles of items bold.

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y July 23, 2008

Added additional ordering rule for tasks to make identically prioritized tasks get ordered alphabetically by title.

Code cleanup: used bitflags for the pretty-print functions instead of "contexts".

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y July 02, 2008

Fixed displaying of events from Address Book's Birthdays calendar (before it would just show the URL to the Address Book entry, now it shows a line like "* Ali Rantakari's Birthday".)

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y June 23, 2008

Made tasks that are late from their due date get sorted before ones that are not (when the priority is the same.)

Fixed silly oversight in Makefile where sudo make install would fail because the binary and manfile installation paths were not present.

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y June 21, 2008

Now prints only the date (instead of the date & the time) for task due dates (you can't specify a time for a task due date in iCal anyway.)

Now prints "today" (instead of the time) for a task's due date if it is on the current date.

Now uses an exclamation point symbol (!) in place of the standard asterisk "bullet point" symbol (*) for tasks that are late from their due date.

Added new parameter -df (or: --dateFormat) for specifying formatting strings for dates (as opposed to times or date & time combinations.)

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y June 21, 2008

Made notes and locations with values of empty strings (or just any number of whitespace) not get displayed.

Put default time and dateTime formatting strings into macros.

]]> http://hasseg.org/icalBuddy/?whatschanged=y June 19, 2008

Added indentation to new lines within notes.

Changed all printf() statements to NSPrint() statements in order to avoid some weird problems with standard output.

Removed some unnecessary return(0) statements.

Now a Universal Binary. Also changed gcc arguments in makefile to conform to this.

Added possibility to exclude all properties in the output for tasks or events by specifying "*" as the value for -etp or -eep argument(s).

Fixed a bug where events from the previous day would be displayed when using the "eventsToday" output type argument value.

Cleaned code a bit (removed an unused variable, made some things more explicit etc.)
