[ANNOUNCEMENT] Calendar-0.5.2 (beta) Released.

The new PEAR package Calendar-0.5.2 (beta) has been released at http://pear.php.net/. Release notes ------------- * Small refactoring in the date engines to significantly reduce the number of date() calls * make url default separator xhtml compliant * fix bug #1798 with week selection * fix bug #1995: thisWeek, prevWeek, nextWeek were not affected when a new timestamp was set (thanks to johnschaefer at gmx dot de) * fix bug in return value from Calendar_Week::thisWeek and n_in_month * getMinYears() returned 1970 on all platforms (thanks to Andy Crain) * added some new examples * Moved logic from Calendar_Decorator_Uri and Calendar_Decorator_Textual to Calendar_Util_Uri and Calendar_Util_Textual (BC preserved) - offers better performance, reducing number of decorators required * extended engine interface for week related methods to meet rare use cases with (not yet implemented) calendar engines Package Info ------------- Calendar provides an API for building Calendar data structures. Using the simple iterator and it's "query" API, a user interface can easily be built on top of the calendar data structure, at the same time easily connecting it to some kind of underlying data store, where "event" information is being held. It provides different calculation "engines" the default being based on Unix timestamps (offering fastest performance) with an alternative using PEAR::Date which extends the calendar past the limitations of Unix timestamps. Other engines should be implementable for other types of calendar (e.g. a Chinese Calendar based on lunar cycles).
