The old GNOME mantra: The best GNOME release is the next GNOME release. is still true!

In another of my (appearently common) insomnia nights, I decided to add a cool new to my pet application - Calendar. Something fast enough to be done in one night, but still useful. So, this just happened: A small video demonstrating the new feature is also available: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwDxXMlwLvk And life goes on 🙂

Time has passed and we finally made it: GNOME 3.20 just got released. I'm writing this post in a full GNOME 3.20 + Wayland session (thanks Arch folks, [gnome-unstable] is amazing).

During the last period, GNOME Calendar received many improvements and bugfixes. News Calendar's Month view received a nice keyboard navigation feature. Many code optimizations, cleanups and fixes Improve Year view's rendering Unfortunately, Calendar won't receive Week view this cycle. It'll be postponed to 3.20 cycle, which I'll have much more time to work on Calendar.

Prologue Before getting our hands into works, we needed mockups. Good ones, since we're dealing with the most expected feature. And here he came to save the day again, the … Continue reading GNOME Calendar Wishlist #1: Calendar Management
