configured via event formatting)
* NEW ikhal supports editing an event's raw icalendar content in an external
editor ($EDITOR), default keybinding is `alt + shift + e`. Only use this, if

0.9.2
=====
released 2017-02-13

right column behaves similar as it did in 0.8.x
0.9.1
=====
released 2017-01-25
* FIX detecting not understood timezone information failed on python 3.6, this may lead to
erroneous offsets in start and end times for those events, as those datetimes
were treated as if they were in the system's local time, not as if they are in
the (possibly) configured default_timezone.
* python 3.6 is now officially supported
0.9.0
=====
released 2017-01-24
Dependency Changes
------------------
* vdirsyncer isn't a hard dependency any more
Bug Fixes
---------
* fixed various bugs in `configure`
* fix bug in `new` that surfaces when date(time)format does contain a year
* fix bug in `import` that allows importing into read-only and/or non-default calendar
* fix how color discovered in calendars
Backwards Incompatibilities
---------------------------
* calendar path is now a glob without recursion for discover, if your calendars
are no longer found, please consult the documentation (Taylor Money)
* `at` command now works like `list` with a timedelta of `0m`, this means that
`at` will no longer print events that end at exactly the time asked for
(Taylor Money)
* renamed `agenda` to `list` (Taylor Money)
* removed `days` configuration option in favor of `timedelta`, see
documentation for details (Taylor Money)
* configuration file path $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/khal/config is now supported and
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/khal/khal.conf deprecated
* ikhal: introduction of three different new frame styles, new allowed values for
`[view] frame` are `False`, `width`, `color`, `top` (with default `False`),
`True` isn't allowed any more, please provide feedback over the usual channels
if and which of those you consider useful as some of those might be removed in
future releases (Christian Geier)
* removed configuration variable `encoding` (in section [locale]), the correct
locale should now be figured out automatically (Markus Unterwaditzer)
* events that start and end at the same time are now displayed as if their
duration was one hour instead of one day (Guilhem Saurel)
Enhancements
------------
* (nearly) all commands allow formatting of how events are printed with
`--format`, also see the new configuration options `event_format`,
`agenda_event_format`, `agenda_day_format` (Taylor Money)
* support for categories (and add `-g` flag for `khal new`) (Pierre David)
* search results are now sorted by start date (Taylor Money)
* added command `edit`, which also allows deletion of events (Taylor Money)
* `new` has interactive option (Taylor Money)
* `import` can now import multiple files at once (Christian Geier)
ikhal
-----
* BUGFIX no more crashing if invalid date is entered and mini-calendar displayed
* make keybinding for quitting configurable, defaults to *q* and *Q*, escape
only backtracks to last pane but doesn't exit khal anymore (Christian Geier)
* default keybinding changed: `tab` no longer shows details of focused events
and does not open the event editor either (Christian Geier)
* right column changed, it will now show as many days/events as fit, if users move
to another date (while the event column is in focus), that date should be
highlighted in the calendar (Christian Geier)
* cursor indicates which element is selected
0.8.4
=====
released 2016-10-06
* **IMPORTANT BUGFIX** fixed a bug that lead to imported events being
erroneously shifted if they had a timezone identifier that wasn't an Olson
database identifier. All users are advised to upgrade as soon as possible. To
see if you are affected by this and how to resolve any issues, please see the
release announcement (khal/doc/source/news/khal084.rst or

0.7.0
=====
released on 2015-11-24
There are no new or dropped dependencies.

benefit is that floating events are properly represented now, hopefully more
is to come (Christian Geier)
* `printformats` uses a more sensible date now (John Shea)
* khal and ikhal can now highlight dates with events, at the moment, enabling it
does noticably slow down (i)khal's start; set *[default] highlight_event_days

nicer to look at in some eyes (config option *[view] frame: True*) (Christian
Geier)
* events can now be duplicated (default keybinding: *p*) (Christian Geier)
* events created while time ranges are selected (default keybinding to enable date range
selection: *v*) will default to that date range (Christian Geier)
* when trying to delete recurring events, users are now asked if they want to

0.6.0
=====
2015-07-15
* BUGFIX Recurrent events with a THISANDFUTURE parameter could affect other
events. This could lead to events not being found by the normal lookup
functionality when they should and being found when they shouldn't. As the
second case should result in an error that nobody reported yet, I hope nobody
got bitten by this.
* new dependency for running the tests: freezegun
* new dependency for setup from scm: setuptools_scm
* khal now needs to be installed for building the documentation
* ikhal's should now support ctrl-e, ctrl-a, ctrl-k and ctrl-u in editable text

or EXDATE properties that are in Zulu time (thanks to Michele Baldessari for
reporting those)
* bugfix: on systems with a local time of UTC-X dealing with allday events lead
to crashes
* bugfix: British summer time is recognized as daylight saving time (Bradley
Jones)
* compatibility with vdirsyncer 0.5
* new command `search` allows to search for events
* user changeable keybindings in ikhal, with hjkl as default alternatives for
arrows in calendar browser, see documentation for more details

released on 2015-02-02
dependency changes
new dependency: click>3.2
removed dependency: docopt
note to package mantainers: requirements.txt has been removed,
dependencies are still listed in setup.py
users will need to delete the local database, no data should
be lost (and khal will inform the user about this)
bug fixes
FIX: vtimezones were not assembled properly, this lead to
spurious offsets of events in some other calendar applications
new and changed features
new config_option: [default] print_new, lets the user decide
what should be printed after adding a new event
new config option: [default] show_all_days lets users decide
if they want to see days without any events in agenda and
calendar view (thanks to Pierre David)
khal (and ikhal) can now display weeknumbers (see config file)
khal new can now create repetitive events (with ârepeat), see
documentation (thanks to Eric Scheibler)
config file: the debug option has been removed (use khal -v
instead)
better support for broken events, e.g. events ending before
they start (Thanks to Markus Unterwaditzer)
more recurrence rules are supported, khal will print warnings
on unsupported rules
change in behaviour: recurring events are now always expanded
until 2037
major speedup in inserting events into the caching database,
especially noticeable when running khal for the first time or
after an deleting the database (Thanks to Markus Unterwaditzer)
ikhal
ikhalâs calendar should now be filled on startup
pressing t refocuses on today
pressing ctrl-w in input fields should delete the last word
before the cursor
when the focus is set on the events list/editor, the current
date should still be visible in the calendar
0.3.1
released on 2014-09-08
FIX: events deleted in the vdir are not shown anymore in khal.
You might want to delete your local database file, if you have
deleted any events on the server.
FIX: in some cases non-ascii characters were printed even if
unicode_symbols is set to False in the config
FIX: events with different start and end timezones are now
properly exported (the end timezone was disregarded when building
an icalendar, but since timezones cannot be edited anyway, this
shouldnât have caused any problems)
FIX: calendars marked as read-only in the configuration file
should now really be read-only
0.3.0
released on 2014-09-03
new unified documentation
html documentation (website) and man pages are all
generated from the same sources via sphinx (type make
html or make man in doc/, the result will be build in
build/html or build/man respectively
the new documentation lives in doc/
the package sphinxcontrib-newsfeed is needed for
generating the html version (for generating an RSS
feed)
the man pages live doc/build/man/, they can be build
by running make man in doc/sphinx/
new dependencies: configobj, tzlocal>=1.0
IMPORTANT: the configuration fileâs syntax changed (again),
have a look at the new documentation for details
local_timezone and default_timezone will now be set to the
timezone the computer is set to (if they are not set in the
configuration file)
Khal is a standards based CLI (console) calendar program. CalDAV
compatibiliy is achieved by using vdir/vdirsyncer as a backend,
allowing syncing of calendars with a variety of other programs on
a host of different platforms.
khal is currently in an early stage of development, has a limited
feature set and is probably full of bugs. If you do try it out,
please make sure you have a backup of your date and please report
back any bugs you might encounter.
