    Calendar Magic 18.1 - Changelog


    What's new in Calendar Magic 18.1:

    May 5th, 2012

    · Reminder Message Length - At the request of a user, increased the maximum length of reminder messages from 40 to 60.

    · Reminders by Month - If Reminders by Month is running, possibly minimised, and is currently showing today's reminders (if any) or the message "Today's date", then, when midnight occurs and a new day commences, the list of reminders will automatically be updated to those for the new day. If no reminders have been set for the new day, the usual "Today's date" message will be displayed. This behaviour, requested by a user, will continue day by day provided that Reminders by Month remains open.

    · Checks for Imminent Reminders - The checks for imminent reminders carried out "one second after midnight" have been discontinued, since systems may be sleeping at that time. Instead, such checks (and the provision of audio and visual warnings when reminders are imminent) are now performed, if Calendar Magic is running, as soon as Calendar Magic detects that the last such check was performed on the previous day or earlier. In addition, if any set reminder is imminent, an appropriate message box is displayed. This functionality is required by users who do not switch off their PCs and who keep Calendar Magic permanently running in the background.

    · Egyptian Fraction Calculator - Added an Egyptian Fraction Calculator (Maths Utilities > Egyptian Fraction Calculator) for converting fractions x/y to the ancient Egyptian form 1/ a + 1/ b + 1/ c + ... , for example 7/ 31 = 1/ 5 + 1/ 45 + 1/279.

    · Geometry Calculator - Added a button to the top left-hand corner of the Geometry Calculator screen for displaying the various 2D and 3D geometric objects diagrammatically.

    · Scientific Calculator - The tool-tip text associated with any memory button not only explains its use but also now indicates the value stored in that memory location. Added a button to the top left-hand corner of the Scientific Calculator screen for displaying related Help information.

    · Time Zone Changes - On December 30, 2011 Samoa switched from being 11 hours behind GMT to 13 hours ahead of GMT. American Samoa is unaffected by this change. The number of time zones in Kazakhstan has been reduced from 3 to 2 and the country no longer uses DST.

    · Imminent Reminders Visual Indicators - Fixed a minor bug in the display of visual indicators for imminent reminders.

    · Javanese Pawukon/Pasaran Calendar - Based on new input from Kaboel Karso, made a slight adjustment to the leap year rule for Java years 1747 to 1866 inclusive.



    What's new in Calendar Magic 18.0:

    December 8th, 2011

    · Implemented a new routine (Calendars > Calendar Collector) for answering the question "Starting in any specified year, for how many years do I need to collect calendars to have a copy of all fourteen possible Gregorian year calendars?"

    · At the suggestion of a user, implemented a routine (Time > Revolutionary Time) for converting between normal and French Revolutionary time. The latter divides each day into 10 decimal hours, each decimal hour consisting of 100 decimal minutes and each decimal minute consisting of 100 decimal seconds

    · Implemented a simple Interval Arithmetic Calculator (Maths Utilities > Interval Arithmetic Calculator) for performing arithmetic on approximate values which lie within specified ranges (intervals)

    · A user pointed out that, when Calendar Magic's main screen (form) is minimised, there is no longer any visual indicator for imminent reminders. This has been rectified by changing the Calendar Magic task bar icon to a red or orange diamond shape whenever the main screen is minimised, provided that the visual indicator on the main screen has not already been hidden

    · Russian cities and towns are now on "permanent DST", i.e. clocks are no longer turned back one hour in late October. A few regions have also changed time zones

    · Improved the coverage of Russian cities and towns by adding 160 additional Russian locations. Also added the Alaskan locations Barrow Bethel, Kodiak and Kotzebue at the request of a user. The database now contains over 18500 locations

    · Based on input from a Serbian user, the observed day information for Serbia has been significantly revised

    · In the Javanese Pawukon/Pasaran Calendar, following additional information from a user in Yogyakarta, adjusted the code for calculating Windu values

    · With regard to the World Athletics Championships, added the venues for 2015 and 2017 - Beijing and London respectively

    · Updated the YAFU executables to V1.29.2



    What's new in Calendar Magic 17.8:

    March 21st, 2011

    · Countdown Timer
    · Implemented a simple Countdown Timer (Time > Countdown Timer) for counting down a specified time period, second by second, to zero. The countdown period may be specified in any one of the forms H:M:S, M:S or S, where H, M, S represent respectively hours, minutes and seconds.

    · You may also specify the music file to be played when the countdown period ends. A combo box on the Countdown Timer form lists the names of all cda, mp3, m4p, ogg, wav and wma files in the folder in which Calendar Magic is installed, so that you may choose any favourite music file you have copied to this folder.

    · Note that to play a music file, other than a wav file, Calendar Magic uses the music player software on your system associated with the file extension.

    · Once started, for the Countdown Timer to function properly, do not return to Calendar Magic's main screen while the countdown takes place.

    · Reminders
    · Following discussions with a user, "every year" reminder descriptions may now contain an optional year field of the form ‹YYYY› or ‹YYYY!›, where YYYY represents a 4-digit year value.
    · In the case of a year field of the form ‹YYYY›, when a reminder description containing it is displayed on the main Calendar Magic screen, the year field is replaced by the current year minus the specified year.

    The following example shows why this might be useful. If Joe was born on December 21, 1995, the reminder description entered might be:

    · Joe is ‹1995› today

    When this reminder description is displayed on the Calendar Magic main screen, it looks like:

    · Joe is 16 today

    · with ‹1995› replaced by 2011 - 1995 = 16, that is Joe's age in years at his next birthday.

    The second type of year field, ‹YYYY!›, is also best explained by example. For a wedding which took place in 1986, you might create the reminder description:

    · Jack & Jill's ‹1986!› anniversary

    When this reminder description is displayed on the Calendar Magic main screen, it looks like:

    · Jack & Jill's 25th. anniversary

    · with "th." inserted after 2011 - 1986 = 25. Depending on the preceding value, the characters inserted may be "st.", "nd.", "rd." or "th." to ensure grammatical correctness.

    · Reminder year fields are obviously most useful when creating "every year" reminders for birthdays and anniversaries.

    A new check box:

    · Process ‹ ... › fields in reminders

    · for turning on/off the processing of year fields has been added to the Reminder Utilities form (Reminders > Reminder Utilities). It is "on" by default.

    · Sun And Moon Data
    · At the request of a user, the output now lists the local (location dependent) occurrences of blue moons for a period of 50 years from the year value in the input date. In this context, a blue moon is defined to be the second full moon in any (Gregorian) calendar month containing two full moons.

    · Note that the local dates and times listed are unadjusted for DST, if any.

    · Currency Converter
    · Modified output in line with changes to the currencies monitored by the European Central Bank (ECB) – the Estonian kroon no longer exists and the Israeli shekel has been added.

    · The daily ECB exchange rate data is now downloaded in xml rather than zip format. As a result, the file unzip.exe is no longer required to be present in the folder in which Calendar Magic is installed.

    · Big Numbers Calculator
    · Speeded up the calculation of quotients x/y where x and y are integers, y contains fewer than 6 digits and more than 100000 digits are required in the fractional part of the result.

    · When computing n! or x^n, increased the upper limit on n from 30000 to 100000.

    · Days between Dates
    · At the request of a user, the date difference is now not only expressed in days but also in (a) years, months and days, and (b) months and days.

    · Observed Days
    · In the observed day information for England, corrected the date of St. George's Day. Normally St. George's Day falls on April 23 but, if this date lies between Palm Sunday and the Sunday after Easter inclusive, St. George's Day is moved to the Monday following Easter Monday. Thus, in 2011, St. George's Day falls officially on May 2 – a fact ignored by many diary makers and organisers of St. George's Day events.

    · Updated observed day information for Thailand in 2011.

    · Religious Festivals
    · In Christian religious festivals, corrected the date of St. George's Day as described above.

    · Gregorian Analysis
    · Improved the wording and layout of the output.



    What's new in Calendar Magic 17.7:

    December 15th, 2010

    · Locations Database
    · Increased the number of cities and towns in Calendar Magic’s world-wide locations database from around 8000 to 18000.

    · Javanese Pawukon/Pasaran Calendar
    · At the request of a user, implemented the Javanese Pawukon/Pasaran calendar and added support for it in Dual Calendars, Month Calendars, Year Calendars, Calendar Comparison, New Year’s Days and This is Your Life. Dates may also be converted to and from the Javanese Pawukon/Pasaran calendar.

    · Current Date Display
    · Added a new check box Options > General > Show year in the display of the current date.

    · Current Time Display
    · Added a new check box Options > General > Show 24-hour clock.

    · Ease of Use Improvements
    · Reduced the number of occasions on which one has to re-press a Calculate button after choosing a new item from various drop-down lists.

    · Edit Reminders Find Capability
    · In Edit Reminders a find function is now available for finding occurrences of specified text strings. To initiate a new search, use the Ctrl+F key combination and input the text to be found. Use the “Find Next” button to run through the various occurrences. Alternatively, having found the first occurrence, exit the search form and press the F3 function key repeatedly.

    · Last File Backup Date
    · Added an item with this name to the Help menu. It returns the date on which important Calendar Magic files were last backed up using the File > Backup menu item.

    · Traditional Chinese Day Names
    · At the suggestion of an acupuncturist, when using Date Conversions to convert Gregorian dates, the traditional Chinese day name for the input date has been added to the generated output. This name is a combination of one of the 10 celestial stems with one of the 12 terrestrial branches, leading to a cycle of 60 day names.

    · World and European Athletics Championships
    · Updated venue location data for championships in years up to 2014. This data is used in the output generated by Date Conversions for Gregorian dates.

    · Currency Converter
    · To satisfy a user’s request, added a “Swap Currencies” button to interchange the two displayed currencies.

    · DST Updates
    · Added DST information for Morocco and Samoa in line with recent decisions in these countries.



    What's new in Calendar Magic 17.5:

    August 30th, 2010

    World Clocks:
    · At the request of a user, added functionality (Time > World Clocks) for simultaneously displaying the local times at up to 12 different world-wide locations. The times displayed are continuously updated, minute by minute. The countries and locations chosen are “sticky” values.

    Planning Calendars:
    · Also at the request of a user, added a new type of planning calendar (Calendars > Planning Calendars > Academic Calendar). An “academic calendar” shows 12 consecutive months but the first month may be chosen as any month of the year.

    Statistics Calculator:
    · Any displayed plot (Box, XY, Regression Line) may now be viewed in “enlarged mode” by pressing the F11 function key.
    · Data input files may now contain times specified in HH:MM:SS format, for example 15:23:07. Such times are converted into decimal hours during data input. Also, if times do occur in a data input file, the field separator must obviously not be a colon.
    · Increased the limit on the number of data lines in a file from 1000 to 2000.
    · Strengthened the detection of errors in input data files.

    Recurring Decimals:
    · Added a Recurring Decimals capability (Utilities > Recurring Decimals) for converting fractions to decimal form and vice-versa. For example 23/1400 converts to 0.016(428571), with rounded parentheses being used to indicate the periodic part which repeats indefinitely.

    Password Protection:
    · Password input when starting Calendar Magic is now “asterisk protected”, improving overall security when passwords are used.

    Dates:
    · You can now list the years and locations of modern Summer Olympic Games (Dates > Summer Olympic Games) and also Winter Olympic Games (Dates > Winter Olympic Games).

    Date Conversions:
    · Added Winter Olympic Games locations information. Updated Summer Olympic Games data to include Rio de Janeiro in 2016.

    World-wide Locations Database:
    · Updated time zone and DST information and incorporated recent major changes in Russia and Mexico.
    · At the request of users, added Hervey Bay, Queensland, Australia and Lincoln, California, USA to Calendar Magic’s world-wide locations database.

    Observed Days:
    · Updated information for England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales for 2012 and added extra Bank Holiday in that year.
    · Where applicable, Daylight Saving Time (DST) start and end dates are now only displayed for the current year. With the many DST changes taking place throughout the world, maintaining DST data across multiple years was proving to be too onerous a task.

    Use of Windows Clipboard:
    · Added code to address occasional copy and paste problems on systems running a Clipboard manager.

    Scientific Calculator:
    · Improved detection of invalid keyboard input.



    What's new in Calendar Magic 17.4:

    December 30th, 2009

    Statistics Calculator:
    · Implemented a simple Statistics Calculator (Utilities > Statistics Calculator). The initial release contains
    · procedures for the basic statistics of ungrouped data, the basic statistics of grouped data and several
    · types of 2-variable regression (linear, logarithmic, exponential, power, quadratic). Depending on user
    · feedback, other statistical procedures will be implemented in the future.
    · Data plotting capabilities are also available – Box plots, XY plots and regression line plots.
    · Data files must be plain text files in CSV format, although using a comma as the field separator is not
    · recommended. The default file extension is .sta. A simple Data Editor is provided for creating such
    · files but any text editor or spreadsheet program may be used.
    · For further information, consult the Statistics Calculator section later in this document.

    Average Speed Based Calculations:
    · Added a new utility (Utilities > Average Speed) for calculating any one of distance travelled, time taken
    · and average speed, given values for the other two. Input may be expressed in various units of
    · distance, time and speed.

    Calendar Magic Default Colours:
    · Changed the default colours for the various forms in Calendar Magic. For existing users, only “new
    · forms” in Calendar Magic will show the new colour scheme. To apply the new colour scheme to all
    · forms, use Options > Colour > Restore All Screens to Default Colours.

    BAC Calculator:
    · Updated blood alcohol limit data for various countries.

    Travelling Salesman Problem:
    · Modified the logical flow to bring it more into line with that adopted for the new Statistics Calculator.
    · Provided three .tsp files, “EU capitals.tsp”, “US state capitals.tsp” and “World capitals.tsp”, containing
    · respectively the data for all EU country capitals, all US state capitals and 222 world capitals.

    Data File Backup (File > Backup):
    · Statistics Calculator data files (*.sta) have been added to the various types of files backed up, as have
    · Fraction Calculator saved history files (*.sff).

    Observed Days:
    · Added additional Thai observed day information for 2010.

    Miscellaneous:
    · Other minor enhancements and bug fixes.



    What's new in Calendar Magic 17.3:

    May 28th, 2009

    · Responding to a user’s suggestion, you may now password protect your copy of Calendar Magic by means of a new Password Manager (Options > Password Manager). Using it, passwords may be created, changed and removed. Any password created must be at least eight characters long and must consist of a combination of letters (a to z, A to Z) and/or digits (0 to 9).
    · If a password has been created, whenever anyone attempts to open that copy of Calendar Magic, he/she is prompted to input the password and Calendar Magic will not open until this has been done successfully.
    · Added new functionality to the Big Numbers Calculator – sqrt(x) , where x is a non-negative decimal number of arbitrary length, and the calculation of the mathematical constants pi, e and phi (the golden ratio). The calculation of these three constants is done using Steve Pagliarulo’s super-fast QuickPi program, distributed as part of V17.3 with Steve’s approval. By way of example, the calculation of pi to 1,000,000 decimal places takes around 2 seconds!
    · Implemented an algorithm for solving the Travelling Salesman problem (Utilities > Travelling Salesman Problem). The problem concerns a salesman who has to visit a number of cities/towns by air and who is keen to minimise the total distance travelled. The algorithm used is called “simulated annealing” and is based on the approach “nature uses” when a metal anneals or when a crystal forms. It was described by Shawn Carlson in the March, 1997 issue of Scientific American.
    · Implemented a Fraction Calculator (Utilities > Fraction Calculator) to calculate exactly the values of arithmetic expressions containing integers and fractions. For example, 22/7 - 355/113 simplifies to 1/791. Permissible arithmetic operators are + - * / and ^. Three types of parentheses, namely ( ), [ ] and { }, may be used and user defined variable names are also supported.
    · Implemented a Continued Fraction Calculator (Utilities > Continued Fraction Calculator) for evaluating continued fractions and for converting arithmetic expressions of various forms to continued fractions. The solution of linear Diophantine equations in two variables is also supported, as is the solution of Pell’s equation.
    · In the Big Numbers Calculator, rationalised the retention of input values when switching between different types of calculation.
    · In the Expression Calculator, improved the detection of invalid input.
    · Added a check box to the Calendar Options form (Options > Calendar Options) for suppressing seconds in the display of the current time. This applies to all forms in which the current time is displayed.
    · Extended the functionality of the Time Calculator by providing an option which supports the calculation of the positive difference between two date related times, for example 15:45:20 on Dec. 15, 2004 and 21:20:35 on Feb. 27, 2010.
    · When a form in Calendar Magic contains a single spin button (double red arrowhead in appearance), the keyboard key combinations Ctrl++ and Ctrl+- may now be used as alternatives to clicking the red arrowheads. Ctrl++ increases the value controlled by the spin button and Ctrl+- decreases the value. When a form contains more than one spin button, you must first left-click the control containing the value you wish to change.
    · Added new items to the File Menu for restoring backed up data files, namely Restore All, Restore Initialisation File, Restore Quick Notes and Restore Reminders.
    · In line with a user suggestion, the Display Fonts and User Fonts forms now contain “sample text” fields formatted using the chosen font specifications. This makes it much easier for users to assess the impact of choosing a different fixed width or proportional width font, changing font sizes etc.
    · Added Birkat ha-Hammah (The Blessing of the Sun) to the list of Jewish religious festivals. This festival is celebrated once every 28 years on a fixed date (March 26) in the Julian calendar.
    · Added Save buttons to various forms for saving results to a text file.
    · Improved the visual display of Moon phases on the Sun and Moon Data form and reworked the underlying code.



    What's new in Calendar Magic 17.2:

    February 3rd, 2009

    · Added a Body Mass Index (BMI) Calculator (Utilities > BMI Calculator) in response to users’ requests. The indicated BMI category follows World Health Organisation (WHO) guidelines.

    · Any weight or height entered may not only be a numerical value but also a simple arithmetic expression. For example, someone in the United Kingdom, whose height is 5 ft 10 ½ ins, could enter it as 5 * 12 + 10.5 ins, since there are 12 inches in a foot.

    · Numeric input fields in many other parts of Calendar Magic may now be similarly specified, including the Financial Calculator, Geometry Calculator, Fuel Consumption, Global Distances, Paper Weight Converter, Unit Converter and BAC Calculator. The arithmetic expression may contain numeric values, rounded parentheses ( ), and the arithmetic operators + - * / and ^, representing respectively addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and raising to a power. Examples are 5 * 23.79, 11 * 14 + 6 and (2 ^ 0.5) * (7 / 8). The space characters on either side of an arithmetic operator are optional.

    · Implemented a “Big Numbers Calculator” (Utilities > Big Number Calculator) for performing calculations involving very large non-negative numbers. The calculations initially supported are x + y, x - y, x * y, x / y, x ^ n, x y, x mod y, hcf(x, y), lcm(x, y) and n!.

    · Whenever a result will contain more than 5000 digits, you are prompted to confirm that you wish to proceed. You may also terminate any calculation, taking an unacceptably long time, by pressing the keyboard key combination Ctrl+T.

    · Implemented a “Number Base Converter” in response to another user suggestion. Numbers may be converted between any two number bases in the range 2 (binary) to 100. A number to be converted may be of arbitrary length and may also be non-integer.

    · For inputting numbers in number bases greater than 16, Neugebauer’s notation must be used. For inputting numbers in number bases from 2 to 16, you may use either Neugebauer’s notation or normal mathematical form.

    · Note that, with the release of the Number Base Converter, the much more limited “Number Bases” category in the Unit Converter has been removed.

    · Another user requested an easy way to add the dates of Moon phases to his stored reminders. Now, whenever the Sun and Moon Data utility is run with a date in "this year" or "next year", a text file newrems.txt is automatically generated containing Moon phase date records of the form: day, month, year, moon phase description



    · Calendar Magic V17.2 Now Available
    · Enhancements and improvements in V17.2 are listed below.

    · Added a Body Mass Index (BMI) Calculator (Utilities > BMI Calculator) in response to users’ requests. The indicated BMI category follows World Health Organisation (WHO) guidelines.

    · Any weight or height entered may not only be a numerical value but also a simple arithmetic expression. For example, someone in the United Kingdom, whose height is 5 ft 10 ½ ins, could enter it as 5 * 12 + 10.5 ins, since there are 12 inches in a foot.

    · Numeric input fields in many other parts of Calendar Magic may now be similarly specified, including the Financial Calculator, Geometry Calculator, Fuel Consumption, Global Distances, Paper Weight Converter, Unit Converter and BAC Calculator. The arithmetic expression may contain numeric values, rounded parentheses ( ), and the arithmetic operators + - * / and ^, representing respectively addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and raising to a power. Examples are 5 * 23.79, 11 * 14 + 6 and (2 ^ 0.5) * (7 / 8). The space characters on either side of an arithmetic operator are optional.

    · Implemented a “Big Numbers Calculator” (Utilities > Big Number Calculator) for performing calculations involving very large non-negative numbers. The calculations initially supported are x + y, x - y, x * y, x / y, x ^ n, x y, x mod y, hcf(x, y), lcm(x, y) and n!.

    · Whenever a result will contain more than 5000 digits, you are prompted to confirm that you wish to proceed. You may also terminate any calculation, taking an unacceptably long time, by pressing the keyboard key combination Ctrl+T.

    · Implemented a “Number Base Converter” in response to another user suggestion. Numbers may be converted between any two number bases in the range 2 (binary) to 100. A number to be converted may be of arbitrary length and may also be non-integer.

    · For inputting numbers in number bases greater than 16, Neugebauer’s notation must be used. For inputting numbers in number bases from 2 to 16, you may use either Neugebauer’s notation or normal mathematical form.

    · Note that, with the release of the Number Base Converter, the much more limited “Number Bases” category in the Unit Converter has been removed.

    Another user requested an easy way to add the dates of Moon phases to his stored reminders. Now, whenever the Sun and Moon Data utility is run with a date in "this year" or "next year", a text file newrems.txt is automatically generated containing Moon phase date records of the form:

    · day, month, year, moon phase description

    an example being:

    · 4, 1, 2009, First Quarter

    · The data in this file can then be added to your stored reminders by using the “Import reminders” utility (Reminders > Reminder Utilities).

    · Implemented a facility (File > Backup) for making a backup copy of important data files containing, for example, set reminders, Quick Notes text, user customisations of Calendar Magic etc.

    · Added a check box to the Reminder Utilities form (Reminders > Reminder Utilities) for turning on and off the audio warning signal for imminent reminders. Suggested by a user.

    · Satisfying another user request, in any list of observed days for Israel and in any list of Jewish religious festivals, all the days of Pesach, Chanukah, Rosh Hashana and Sukkot are now explicitly listed.

    · Redesigned the Time Calculator and Unit Converter forms.

    · The output from Date Conversions now includes the number of Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays etc in the relevant year.

    · Updated the time zone information for locations in Brazil. On June 24, 2008 the Brazilian Government abolished the country’s fourth time zone (UTC – 5).

    · Updated the DST rules for Brazil. DST now begins on the third Sunday in October and ends on the third Sunday in February.

    · Added DST rules for Argentina and Mauritius.

    · Updated the BAC data for various countries and added data for 20 more countries.

    · Separate forms have been created for This is Your Life, New Year’s Days, On This Date, Factor Calculator and Magic Squares.

    · The standard Windows Common Dialogue is now used throughout Calendar Magic for saving output to a text file.



    What's new in Calendar Magic 16.2:

    August 16th, 2006

    · Added code and a command button for generating a magic square of order N, where N lies in the range 3 to 100. The numbers forming the magic square are the integers 1, 2, 3, N2
    · The stopwatch now has a dedicated command button on the main screen
    · When a Religious Festivals or Observed Days list is generated, the relevant output data is now also stored in the CSV (Comma Separated Variable) text file results.csv. You may manipulate this file, using a text editor or spreadsheet program, to customise
    · Added two check boxes Include Sabbaths and Include month starts to the Religious Festivals form. These check boxes only become visible when Jewish festivals are selected. Their purpose is to enable more comprehensive lists of Jewish holy days to be ge
    · In Religious Festivals, the religion chosen is now a sticky value
    · In the Geometry Calculator, added the parallelogram and the trapezium (trapezoid in the United States) to the list of 2D geometric objects for which key attribute values may be calculated
    · In the Geometry Calculator, when calculating the various attribute values of the frustum of a cone, the slant height of the complete cone is now also calculated. This value is useful when creating the curved surface of the frustum of a cone from a plane s
    · In the Expression Calculator, added the function fib(n) for evaluating the nth. Fibonacci number and the function luc(n) for evaluating the nth. Lucas number
    · In Date Conversions, added the Thai day colour to the output generated when a Gregorian date is converted
