VueMinder Pro Changelog

What's new in VueMinder Pro 2023.01

Sep 21, 2023

Added an option when syncing with Google Calendar to sync event descriptions as either formatted text or plain text. Selecting the plain text option can fix cases where event descriptions contain HTML code after syncing, due to Google Calendar syncing with other apps that don't support formatted text descriptions.
Improved the Midnight and Deep Purple appearance themes.
Corrected authorization issues seen on some computers when attempting to sync with Google Calendar. VueMinder has been updated to use the latest Google Calendar and OAuth APIs.
Corrected various problems syncing with Google Calendar.
Corrected sending email reminders for tasks when using Google Mail as the email provider.
Corrected reminder snooze durations when using French as the interface language.
Corrected the global hotkey for showing the main VueMinder window, to hide the window if pressed a second time.
Corrected the Task List to filter based on the categories and/or priorities that are selected in the Calendar Items area of the main window.
Corrected adding photos to contacts. Sometimes the photos would automatically rotate 90 degrees.
Corrected errors when attempting to deactivate a license on a previous computer.
Updated the Dutch, German, Norwegian, and Spanish translations.
Removed SMS Matrix as an option for sending SMS reminders, since SMS Matrix no longer provides that service.
Other minor corrections and improvements.

Added a right-click menu option for displaying seconds on the digital clock panel.
Improved pasting in the description text editor to include an option for pasting as plain text.

Improved the mini Desktop Calendar to show dates in previous and next months.
Corrected intermittent "Out of memory" errors when opening or editing events and tasks.
Corrected intermittent problems with calendars not automatically syncing and event reminders not appearing when scheduled.
Corrected syncing with Microsoft 365. Calendars were not automatically syncing as they should.
Corrected syncing errors that could sometimes occur after adding a Google Calendar to VueMinder.
Corrected syncing with Google Calendar after deleting a recurring event and all its following occurrences. The deletion wasn't syncing to Google Calendar.
Corrected 2-way syncing with a local Outlook calendar. Changes made in VueMinder were sometimes resulting in the calendar no longer syncing.
Corrected cases where published calendars weren't automatically syncing after making changes or creating new events.
Corrected importing events from Excel and CSV files to not create desktop alerts with automatic snoozing turned on, by default.
Corrected processing of email reminders, to send no more than 50 emails per minute. Many email servers don't support sending a large number of emails at one time, which can result in some reminders failing to be sent unless email transmission is throttled and delayed.
Corrected the description text editor to not show double blank-lines between paragraphs.
Corrected cases where blank lines were sometimes shown below event titles, especially when titles contain formatted text or ampersands.
Corrected alignment of titles for non all-day events. Previously, the titles were always left-justified, regardless of the associated appearance settings.
Corrected event titles in the Day and Week views when center or right-aligned. All-day event titles weren't appearing.
Corrected the event title that is shown in the Event Editor after opening an occurrence of a recurring series and all that follow. The title was showing "New Event" instead of the recurring event's title.
Corrected creation of new events to use the default title specified in the Calendar Properties.
Corrected the default event title when creating a new event for a contact. The event title will default to match the associated contact's name.

Corrected the Appearance Toolbar to enable modifying the selected calendar's appearance.
Corrected double-clicking of dates in previous and next months on the mini Desktop Calendar.
Corrected intermittent cases where the digital clock panel would sometimes appear on the main window without being commanded, especially after resizing the main window or restarting.

Updated the Persian, Spanish, and Swedish translations.
Other minor corrections and improvements.

New in VueMinder Pro 2021.01 (Jan 11, 2021)

Improved the Event Editor to support formatting of individual words in event titles. Words can be colored via a right-click menu. Words can also be made bold, italic, or underline via standard keyboard shortcuts such as Ctrl+B.

Corrected Windows file-type registration of VueMinder for opening iCalendar (ics) files.
Corrected cases where changes to existing event descriptions weren't getting saved.
Corrected intermittent errors and out-of-memory crashes while editing description text.
Corrected the default font size used for the description text in the Details Pane and hover tooltip. The text was too small.
Corrected the font in the description text editor. In some cases, the default font selected in the Editor Options would override fonts that were selected by the user while editing, after saving and re-opening the editor.
Corrected pasting text from Word documents when the copied text contains hyperlinks, dashes, or quotes.
Corrected pasting plain text into the description text editor. In some cases, dashes, quotes, and other characters were being pasted as HTML symbol codes instead of the correct characters.
Corrected problems copying/pasting text from PDF files into the description text editor. In some cases, text wouldn't paste or pasting would cause VueMinder to crash.
Corrected handling of the Ctrl+Alt+E shortcut when editing a description. The text was getting centered instead of the € symbol being inserted.
Corrected the Delete button on the Event Editor when an occurrence and all that follow of a recurring event is opened. Previously, clicking the Delete button wouldn't do anything.
Corrected spelling of certain words, such as color (colour) and synchronize (synchronise), when in the United Kingdom or Australia. This will happen automatically for new installations of VueMinder. For existing installations, select "English (United Kingdom)" or "English (Australia)" on the Language menu to see the spelling corrections.
Updated the German translation.
Other minor corrections and improvements.

New in VueMinder Pro 2020.01 (Jan 20, 2020)

Added an option for coloring date backgrounds based on the day of the week.

Added an option to select whether a reminder is snoozed or dismissed when the X button is used to close a popup reminder or desktop alert.
Improved the default event starting time when creating new events on the Month view. The starting time will default to a time that doesn't conflict with other events that are associated with the same calendar.
Improved the "Add Google Calendar" window to make it more obvious that VueMinder can sync with any number of Google Calendar accounts, and adding a new account is as simple as typing the account's name.
Improved importing from Excel and CSV files to support a UID or "Unique ID" column. When values are specified in that column, VueMinder will be able to find and update previously imported events, even if they have different dates or titles.

Improved the tooltip and Details Pane to cross out completed events and tasks if they are crossed out in other views, such as the Month view. The option to cross out completed items can be selected in the Appearance Options.
Improved the Details Pane to show event creation and modification times. In some cases, the times wouldn't appear, especially for events that were imported from external sources. If a creation time isn't known for some reason, "Unknown" will be shown instead of not showing anything.
Improved the Details Pane and tooltip to list meeting attendee names and email addresses when a meeting is selected or hovered.
Improved linking files to events, tasks, notes, and contacts in the USB version. The linked files will be copied to the folder where the USB version is located, so the files will be available on any computer.
Improved to Contact List when pressing a letter key, to scroll to the first contact that starts with the pressed letter and to select that contact's row.

Corrected pasting tasks as subtasks of another task that doesn't have a due date.
Corrected errors exporting tasks to Excel when more than 7 levels of subtasks are defined.
Corrected marking a repeating task and being complete when the task is opened from the popup reminder. A duplicate of the task would be created.

Added support for specifying recurring event intervals, number of occurrences, and series end dates when importing from Excel and CSV files.
Added more color choices on the "Quick Color" submenu and on the Appearance tab of the Event and Note Editor windows.
Added an option for the default contact "File As" names to be either "Last, First" or "First Last". This option is used when creating new contacts and when importing from Google Contacts.
Added an option to paste tasks as subtasks of the currently selected task or as root-level tasks.
Improved syncing with Google Calendar and Google Contacts to use the latest Google API libraries, which contain many corrections and improvements since the previously used version of the libraries.
Improved the reliability of syncing with Google Calendar. In some cases, changes to events wouldn't be detected and wouldn't properly synced. That should no longer happen.
Improved syncing with Google Calendar to reduce the number of queries against the Google Calendar API. VueMinder was hitting a daily quota limit (imposed by Google) on the number of queries, resulting in calendars not syncing. If enough people update to the new version, this should no longer be an issue (so please update!).
Improved importing and exporting Excel files. VueMinder no longer requires a local installation of Excel. OpenXML is now used instead of the Excel API. Performance of importing/exporting has also been greatly improved.
Improved the formatting of exported Excel files to wrap text in the Description and Notes columns.
Improved exporting tasks with an option to exclude completed tasks from the export, so only overdue or upcoming tasks will be in the exported file.
Improved the behavior of the default snooze time on popup reminders.
Improved meeting request emails to include any files that have been attached to the meeting.
Improved selecting recipients for SMS reminders to allow phone numbers to be entered directly, instead of requiring contacts to be defined first. Note, this feature only works when using the web-based (SMS Matrix) service.
Improved contact photos and images that have been pasted into descriptions to be saved under the VueMinder data folder. The images will now be included in the backup files generated by VueMinder and can be restored.
Improved the drop-down category, location, and priority lists to show more rows and reduce scrolling.
Corrected various problems when syncing daily recurring events with Google Calendar if the events span past midnight.
Corrected importing tasks from Excel and CSV files when the associated task calendar is synced with Google Tasks and contains matching tasks that were previously deleted.
Corrected importing contacts from Google Contacts if the contacts were previously imported and then deleted.
Corrected various problems related to importing and/or syncing with Google Contacts. In some cases, error messages would appear, clicking the "Sync Now" button on the Google Contact Sync window would have no effect, or changes to contacts wouldn't automatically sync as expected.
Corrected detection of mapped fields when importing from CSV files that are encoded using something other than UTF-8.
Corrected error messages about inconsistent recurrence patterns when creating recurring events.
Corrected exporting reminders to iCalendar files when reminders are configured to appear 0 minutes before an event starts.
Corrected exporting notes to CSV files. In some cases, exported notes would contain HTML tags instead of only plain text.
Corrected sending of email and SMS reminders that are scheduled to be sent after events end. In some cases, the reminders weren't being sent or were being sent at the wrong time.
Corrected the Backup/Restore Data windows to show all available backup files. In some cases, previously generated backup files weren't appearing on these windows.
Corrected automatic cleanup of backup files to properly delete any backup files that are older than the specified number of days. In some cases, old backup files weren't being properly removed.
Corrected the Download button on the Spell Check window to allow downloading spell-checker dictionaries for other languages besides English.
Corrected to not close the current calendar view (Day, Week, Month, etc.) when pressing Ctrl+F4.
Updated the Portuguese translation.

New in VueMinder Pro 2019.01 (Feb 20, 2019)

Added the ability to sync events and tasks with any number of Google accounts, instead of being limited to only syncing with one account.
Added an option to send email directly through Google Mail using modern authentication, rather than sending through SMTP which requires entering a password and enabling access for "less secure apps".
Added a Links column to the Events, Tasks, Notes, and Contacts lists for showing linked items. The links can be opened by clicking.
Added the ability to view dates and times in separate columns in the Event List and Task List. This enables grouping items by date and more advanced date filtering options.
Added an option to specify which editor tab should appear by default when creating or opening events, tasks, notes, and contacts.
Improved handling of errors when syncing with Google Calendar. Any errors that prevent syncing will be displayed on the Status Bar. For errors that VueMinder knows how to solve, a button will be provided to attempt an automated fix.
Improved importing iCalendar (ics) files to use the currently selected calendar as the default destination calendar for the imported events, rather than creating a new calendar based on the calendar name found in the ics file.
Improved importing iCalendar (ics) files to process URL properties. These will be shown in the imported event descriptions and can be clicked to open.
Improved the Recent Reminders window to list up to 200 most-recent reminders, instead of being limited to 50 reminders.
Corrected to not generate duplicate events when syncing the same calendar with both Google Calendar and MySQL Server.
Corrected syncing of floating tasks with Google Tasks. Floating tasks that were marked as complete would still float to the current date when synced.
Corrected links between events to be bidirectional on all computers that share the linked events through MySQL Server, not just on the computer where the links were originally established.
Corrected default reminder settings to be applied when selecting a different calendar from the Calendar drop-down field in the Event and Task editors and the option to apply the default settings is selected.
Corrected the reminder "at time" value that is shown in the reminder settings for new events and tasks when a default reminder has been configured.
Corrected subscribing to iCalendar URLs that require being opened in a newer web browser. VueMinder will mimic being a web browser, enabling the iCalendar URLs to be downloaded and processed.
Corrected the "Today" notification that appears when VueMinder starts. If there are no upcoming events or tasks on the current date, the notification won't be displayed because all it contains is the current date.
Corrected creating events in the Day and Week views on the Desktop Calendar. The created events will default to the timeslots selected on the Desktop Calendar, not the timeslots selected in the main VueMinder window.
Corrected the Column Chooser window to disable the checkboxes on columns that are used for grouping rows and are always visible by definition.
Corrected the Details Pane when a task having completed subtasks is selected, to not list the completed subtasks if the View menu option to show completed tasks is unchecked.
Corrected intermittent cases where multiple duplicate email reminders could be sent when there should only be one email reminder.
Corrected an intermittent error when opening contacts.
Corrected handling of intermittent errors related to the text description editor which could result in the content of the Description tab not appearing when an event is opened.
Corrected the Quick Color context menu option to not indicate a quick color has been selected for the clicked event if a quick color was previously applied to a different event.
Corrected the Site license version to now show the "Buy Now" button on the taskbar if a trial version was previously installed.
Corrected the storage location of Google OAuth2.0 tokens. These will be stored in the local VueMinder data folder, rather than a roaming user profile data folder.
Translated into Bosnian and Portuguese (Brazil).
Updated the Catalan, Dutch, German, and Portuguese (Portugal) translations.
Other minor corrections and improvements.

New in VueMinder Pro 2018.02 (Aug 14, 2018)

Added the ability to define tasks that repeat after a specified number of hours.

Added the ability to run multiple instances of the USB version simultaneously as long as those instances are running from different locations.
Improved performance and reliability of saving category, priority, and location data files. These files should no longer become corrupted.
Improved syncing 2-way with an iCalendar (ics) files/URLs to automatically sync at a specified interval, rather than requiring syncing to be manually commanded.
Improved the description text editor to include a "Paste as Plain Text" command on the right-click context menu. Also added a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+P) for pasting plain text.

Improved emailing of an occurrence of a recurring series which has occurrence numbering enabled. The email subject will include the occurrence number.
Corrected to not allow a subtask to be selected if it's a parent or ancestor of the task being edited. This type of circular relationship could be defined in the previous version, which would then lead to data corruption and performance issues.
Corrected the Related tab on the Task Editor to show subtasks. The subtasks wouldn't be listed if the "View -> Desktop Calendar (Full)" menu option was unchecked.
Corrected to not show the next instance of a repeating task in the calendar when the current instance is completed and the "View -> Show Tasks in Calendar" option is unchecked.
Corrected unlocking events using the Unlock button on the Event Editor. If no other changes were made (other than unlocking the event) the event would continue to be locked after saving and closing the Event Editor.
Corrected saving changes to events when the only modification is the time when the popup reminder is scheduled to appear. The change wouldn't get saved.
Corrected the Event List when showing all dates to not allow marking an entire recurring series as being completed. Only individual occurrences in a series can be completed.
Corrected sending events and tasks by email when a MAPI-compliant email program is not installed.
Corrected importing reminders from iCalendar (ics) files/URLs when those reminders are scheduled to appear after an event starts instead of before. The reminders will now appear at the correct time after importing into VueMinder.

Corrected scheduling of reminders when the default setting (specified in the Calendar Properties) is to appear at the same time the event or task starts.
Corrected color-coding when an occurrence of a recurring series is modified to be associated with a different category and VueMinder has been configured to color events based on category. In some cases, the color of the modified event wouldn't refresh.
Corrected cases where events with custom colors could have their colors reset if those events are multi-selected with other events.
Corrected the "Sync Now" button in the Sharing Options to show a message after syncing has completed. Previously, clicking the button would sometimes appear to have no effect.
Corrected saving of events that are not all-day and have a duration between 24 and 25 hours. The end time of the events would be incorrect when re-opened in the Event Editor and the duration would indicate "1 day" instead of the exact number of hours.
Corrected the plain text description editor to include a vertical scrollbar.
Translated into Turkish and updated the Polish translation.

New in VueMinder Pro 2018.01 (Mar 20, 2018)

Improved the popup reminder window to show a context menu when right-clicking a reminder's row. The context menu can be used to open, delete, snooze, or dismiss the reminder.
Improved the date range drop-down list to include "Previous year" and "Next year" options. This new option will be available when printing, searching, and viewing lists of items.
Improved the Event Editor to open with the Description tab shown by default, even if the description is empty and the event has an associated reminder or data on the other tabs.
Improved the File->New submenu to list the options for creating new events before the options for creating new calendars.

Corrected notes to not appear in the calendar view if the View menu option to show notes has been unchecked and a new note is created.
Corrected the Send Email button on the Event Editor to send email for the current event, not necessarily the event that is selected in the calendar view.
Corrected the popup reminder window to open maximized if it was maximized the last time it was closed.
Corrected exporting reminders to ICS files when reminders are scheduled to be shown at the same time the associated event starts. Some other calendar programs were unable to process the reminder trigger value.
Corrected importing ICS files from some calendar programs that indicate new lines using rn.
Corrected importing yearly recurring events from ICS files when the year interval is greater than 1.
Corrected exporting popup reminders to ICS files to specify ACTION:DISPLAY instead of ACTION:Display, since some other calendar programs expect all uppercase for the action type.
Corrected the popup reminder window to not default to being the top-most window on new installations.
Updated the Catalan and Portuguese translations.
Other minor corrections and improvements.

New in VueMinder Pro 2018.00 (Jan 2, 2018)

Added the ability to decline read-only meetings that were organized by a different account in a calendar that is synced with Google Calendar, even if the calendar is synced 1-way. Previously, read-only meetings couldn't be deleted within VueMinder.

Added the ability to completely close/hide the Distribution Lists panel on the Contacts tab.

Improved the Desktop Calendar to restore its previously size and position when switching monitor resolutions and/or multi-monitor configurations.
Improved the hotkey for showing the main VueMinder window. If the main window is already visible and displayed above other windows, pressing the hotkey again will minimize the main window.
Improved the "Quick Print" right-click command to work with multiple selected items.
Improved the popup reminder window to always restore the previously specified snooze time for an individual event or task as the default the next time the reminder appears for that event or task.
Improved importing ICS files containing events having multiple reminders and/or email reminders. Previously, email reminders would import as popup reminders.
Improved exporting ICS files to include email reminders and recipients. Email reminders can be imported into other calendar programs that support this functionality.
Improved importing CSV files to be compatible with files that are formatted with semicolons or tab delimiters instead of commas.
Improved entering times in the "Start time" and "End time" fields of the Event and Task Editors. When only 2 digits are entered, they will be assumed to be hours instead of minutes. For example, 10 will be 10:00. Military time can also be entered, such as 1430 for 2:30 PM.
Improved the Contact List to allow copying and pasting of text between cells.
Improved to allow copying and pasting appearances of selected categories, priorities, and locations in the Calendar Items area, regardless of which color mode is currently active. Appearances can be copied and pasted using commands in the Edit menu or buttons on the Appearance toolbar.

Corrected cancelled occurrences of recurring meetings in calendars that are synced with Google Calendar to not sometimes re-appear after the calendar syncs.
Corrected exporting popup reminders and desktop alerts to ICS files to include an action type of "display", for better compatibility with importing reminders into other calendar programs.

Corrected displayed SMS reminder recipients. In some cases, the same recipient could be listed multiple times after saving and re-opening the event or task.
Corrected the "Send Email" button at the top of the Event Editor to attach the event as an ICS file, the same as when selecting "Send Event via Email" option from the event's right-click menu.
Corrected the "Send Now" button for an email reminder in the Event and Task Editor to include any files that have been attached to the event or task on the Files tab.
Corrected the "Help -> Send Feedback or Bug Report" menu command on computers where no default email program is installed or configured. Previously, the menu command would do nothing.
Corrected deletion of the "default" category. The default category would re-appear when creating or opening a task, even if the task isn't associated with any category.

Corrected the Title field on the Task Editor to respond to Ctrl+Arrow key presses.
Corrected the font size on the Description Editor toolbar to not allow very small values (like 1) to be entered and to behave properly when typing a font size value instead of using the drop-down.
Corrected previewing a desktop alert for an event which has a custom appearance. The preview will now use the specified custom appearance instead of defaulting to gray.
Corrected the "Click to add" button to not appear if the button would overlap any event, task, or note in the hovered date or timeslot.
Corrected the display of tooltips when hovering over events, tasks, and notes. If the Details Pane border color was set to transparent in the Appearance Options, the tooltips wouldn't display.

Added a font size option to the Contact List and increased the default font size to make the list easier to read.
Added the ability to specify an event title prefix for each calendar. The specified prefix will automatically appear in event titles on the Day, Week, and Month views. This can help make it easier to differentiate events based on calendar.
Added an option to specify the default date/time format to be used by the text editor's "Insert Date and Time" feature.
Added a keyboard shortcut for the text editor's "Insert Date and Time" feature. Pressing Ctrl+T will insert the current date/time using the previously selected default format.

Added a button to the mini desktop calendar for opening the main VueMinder window.
Improved performance of syncing with local Outlook calendars.
Improved performance when there are a large number of completed tasks, especially when starting VueMinder or when editing tasks.

Improved syncing of meeting requests with Google Calendar. The organizer's email address was not appearing on the Meeting tab of the Event Editor if the meeting was sent from a different account.
Improved the Details Pane to show the selected event's creation date/time. If the event was modified, the last modification time will also be shown.
Improved the display of event creation and modification times when syncing with external calendars like Google Calendar or iCalendar subscriptions. The Details Pane will show when events were created or modified externally, not when the calendar was last synced.
Improved the Details Pane when a modified occurrence of a recurring event is selected. If the event has been rescheduled or moved to a different location, the original time or location will be crossed out and followed by the updated value.
Improved integration with PrintableCal. PrintableCal will use VueMinder's latest data when generating a printable calendar.
Improved exporting to CSV and Excel files. The exported column headers will be translated if VueMinder is configured to use a non-English language, rather than always exporting as English.

Improved and updated the appearance of the mini desktop calendar. It will look better on Windows 10 now.
Improved the open file dialog when inserting a picture or adding media to a reminder. The dialog will open to the previously selected folder location by default.

Corrected various problems when syncing with Outlook, particularly when changes have been made to recurring events.
Corrected calendars not appearing in Outlook when configured to sync from VueMinder. Only calendars that were already defined in Outlook could be synced.

Corrected the "Do not publish events older than" field in the Calendar Properties for published calendars. The specified value wasn't being saved or used.
Corrected importing events that have reminders defined in CSV or Excel files. If the events were imported into a calendar that is synced with Outlook, the reminders weren't getting enabled in Outlook.

Corrected the display of recurring events in the Week grid view. If the option to show occurrence numbers was enabled, the event location text would overlap the event title.

Improved syncing of meeting requests with Google Calendar. The list of meeting attendees can now be seen in VueMinder.

Improved the reliability of saving program data and settings. In some cases, the settings file could become corrupted, which could then lead to data not loading properly if stored in a non-default location.
Corrected changing the font name, size, and color in the text editor. In some cases, several characters could be deleted near the caret position when the font was modified.
Corrected the text editor to process the Tab key. Previously, pressing the Tab key would result in input focus moving from the text editor to a different input field.
Corrected syncing with Google Calendar. In some cases, modified occurrences of a recurring series wouldn't sync properly or would appear as duplicates.
Corrected the behavior of the "Use a different account" button on the "Add Google Calendar" window.
Corrected cases where events imported from an ICS file could be off by an hour, depending on the time zone.

Corrected the Note and Task Lists to consistently filter rows depending on which calendars are unchecked in the Calendar List.

Corrected the Task List to not show empty group rows when task search results are listed.
Corrected the Task List right-click menu commands when multiple task rows are selected. Some of the commands would only affect the first selected row.

Corrected the display of completed tasks in the Task List. In some cases, completed tasks wouldn't appear, despite being due within the specified date range and the View menu option to show completed tasks being enabled.

Corrected linking items to notes which haven't been pinned to dates. The notes weren't appearing in the "Add Link" window.

Corrected the Contact List to properly refresh when a filter has been applied on one or more columns and a contact is edited.

Corrected the Event List when rows are grouped and an event is modified. Previously, all groups except the one containing the modified event would collapse when the list was refreshed.
Corrected the Event List when rows are grouped and search results are displayed. Any updates to events would cause the row grouping to be lost.
Corrected the Details Pane to show linked items in the same order they appear on the Links tab of the editor window.

Corrected the Year view to not flicker when clicked.
Corrected the "Quick Color" context menu command when used on the first occurrence of a recurring series. The occurrence color wasn't being updated to match the selected quick color.

Corrected opening linked files when they contain spaces in their path or file name. On some computers, the files wouldn't properly open.
Corrected the text in the warning message when using a non-English language and a recurring event is defined which has a start date inconsistent with the recurrence pattern. The warning message wasn't fully translated.

Added the ability to specify an interval for yearly recurring events. For example, a recurring event can now be defined to occur every 4 years.
Added an option share calendar group names. When this option is disabled, you can organize your shared calendars into whatever group names you'd like, and those group names won't appear on other computers.
Improved compatibility with SMTP email servers, especially email servers that use port 465 and SSL. Configuring VueMinder to send email reminders should be much easier now.
Improved performance, especially when adding calendars, deleting recurring events, and performing other operations that affect a lot of data.
Improved the Status Bar to show an indication when syncing with Google Calendar has failed, along with an explanation of what is causing the problem.
Improved the Help menu to include an option for viewing these release notes.

Corrected a problem where the color of the high priority type would change when the right-click Quick Color option is used to color a note.

Improved the appearance of desktop alerts and updated the desktop alert menu to show larger (touch-friendly) icons that are visually consistent with other icons in VueMinder.
Improved the date range drop-down list on the Print window to include a "This week" option.
Improved the "Today" button shown in the Go menu and in the upper-right corner of the Day, Week, and Month views. The button's icon will show the current date.
Improved the Day and Week views to highlight the current date. A different color border will be displayed around the current date's timeslots. The date header will also be shown in a different color.
Improved the layout of the Desktop Calendar to reduce the number of buttons shown near the top of the window. This simplifies the layout and reduces visual noise/distraction.
Improved the Event Editor for events that occur in the past. Instead of showing a large orange warning banner, a simple icon and warning label will be shown below the Save button.

Improved tooltips to be fully opaque for easier reading.
Corrected a memory leak which could result in error messages or degraded performance.
Corrected performance when subscribing to calendars. The subscriptions could slow VueMinder's startup speed and cause degraded performance while syncing.
Corrected syncing with external calendars. In some cases, duplicates would be generated in VueMinder. Note, this correction won't remove previously generated duplicates but should prevent new duplicates from being created.
Corrected saving events. In some cases, new events wouldn't appear until the calendar view was clicked, due to a refresh problem.
Corrected the Desktop Calendar to restore its previous position when VueMinder is restarted. In some cases, such as when using 3 monitors, the Desktop Calendar would incorrectly move to a different monitor.
Corrected the display of tooltips. In some cases, the tooltips could be clipped by the edge of the screen or have an arrow that was incorrectly positioned.
Corrected the "Show event descriptions in tooltips" option. Unchecking this option would have no effect and tooltips would still show the full descriptions.
Corrected the up/down arrows in the Details Pane when a date is selected.
Corrected the default color of selected dates in the Month View to be gray instead of light blue, since the default color for the current date is also a shade of blue and the similar colors could cause confusion.
Corrected an error message when attempting to open the Options window. The error was related to text-to-speech (TTS) voices and could occur on computers that have 3rd party TTS software installed which conflicts with VueMinder.

Improved exporting recurring events to Excel and CSV when occurrence numbering is enabled for the series. The occurrence numbers will appear in the exported file.

Corrected the Ctrl+C and Ctrl+X keyboard shortcuts to properly copy or cut events.

Added a Catalan translation.
Improved exporting contacts to allow selection of either Google Contacts CSV or Outlook CSV formats. When importing a Google Contacts CSV formatted file into Google Contacts, all fields will properly map to Google Contact fields, rather than some values importing into the contact notes.
Improved the drop-down time picker to reduce the amount of scrolling. For example, when creating an event in the morning, 8:00 AM will be near the top of the drop-down list, rather than 3:00 AM.
Improved the drop-down event duration list to eliminate the need to scroll.
Improved the default event title when creating an event for a contact to use the default title specified in the Calendar Properties followed by the contact's name.
Improved the performance of the Contact List when selecting or deleting multiple contacts, especially if there are several thousand contacts in the list.
Corrected exporting or publishing ICS files that contain recurring events with deleted occurrences. In some cases, the exported or published ICS file could not be imported into other calendar programs.
Corrected the descriptions of events that are in calendar subscriptions or are imported from ICS files. In some cases, the imported descriptions would be missing spaces.

Corrected scheduling multiple voice phone reminders for the same event or task.
Corrected the right-click commands on the Task List when the selected task doesn't have a due date, and the previously selected task did. The right-click commands would act on the previously selected task rather than the currently selected one.
Corrected creating a new subtask for a task that doesn't have a due date when using the right-click menu in the Task List. In some cases, the default parent task of the new subtask would initialize to a different task, not the one selected in the Task List.
Corrected the display of multi-week events on the Month view to not show the event starting time on subsequent week rows. The start time will only appear for the first week.
Corrected the whole Month print layout when the option to show overflow into other months is disabled and some of the dates that are in different months have background images. The background images of dates in other months will be excluded when printing without overflow.
Corrected entering web-based email settings if the web-based SMS settings (which use the same account) aren't also specified. Sending a test email wouldn't work until the SMS settings are entered and the Options window is closed and re-opened.
Corrected editing recurrence events when the "This occurrence and all that follow" option is used. The new series will re-use any custom appearance that was specified for the previous series.
Corrected the Links tab label to indicate the current number of links after previously linked items are deleted.
Corrected several text labels that were unavailable to be translated to other languages.

Improved the process for connecting to the shared database after the server connection has been lost. VueMinder will automatically reconnect within 1 minute, rather than requiring the user to click a button on the Status Bar to reconnect.

Corrected syncing calendar colors with Google Calendar. The colors specified in VueMinder will no longer be lost after syncing.

Added the ability to automatically sync with Google Contacts. This option can be enabled via the Share menu or via a new button at the top of the Contact Editor window.
Added the ability to define multiple phone numbers, email addresses, mailing addresses, websites, social media links, and dates for a single contact. Each value can have a label to identify its type (home, work, etc) and custom labels can be entered.
Added a "To..." button for selecting reminder or meeting recipients. This button will show a window where contacts can be searched and filtered, similar to Outlook.
Added an option (under the Reminder Options) to automatically mark past events as completed.
Added a setting when defining an SMS reminder to only send the associated event or task description - not the title, start date, or other details.
Added a Swedish translation. Also updated the Chinese, Danish, and Finnish translations.
Improved syncing with Google Calendar to use the latest Google Calendar API. This fixes a number of bugs.
Improved and simplified the process for allowing VueMinder to access Google Calendar data. An authorization code no longer needs to be copied and pasted. Authorization can be performed using a single button click.
Improved VueMinder to be capable of accessing Google Calendar accounts that have 2-step verification enabled. Note, 2-step verification still needs to be disabled if syncing contacts with Google in the Pro or Ultimate version.
Improved syncing with Google Calendar to include support for custom colors, instead of being limited to the basic Google Calendar color palette.
Improved adding a calendar subscription to work with URLs that are prefixed with "webcal://" or "webcals://".

Improved the "Meeting Request" tab in the Event Editor. A box doesn't need to be checked before recipients can be added. If any meeting recipients have been specified, the event will be treated as a meeting request. Otherwise it will be treated as a normal event.
Improved popup and desktop alerts that have voice reminders enabled. If multiple voice reminders appear at the same time, each voice reminder will be played in sequence, rather than only one of the voice reminders playing.
Improved the right-click Lock/Unlock command to work with multiple selected events.
Improved the right-click "Assign to Calendar" command to be provided for recurring events.
Improved marking a repeating task as completed. The next occurrence of the task will be automatically selected to provide visual feedback that a new occurrence was created.
Improved the Description column in the Event and Task list to show as much text as possible on a single line. If all the text can't fit, an ellipsis character (...) will appear to indicate additional text is present.
Improved the display of date background pictures and date numbers. Previously, the entire top area of the date would be shaded to provide contrast for the date number, which only takes up a small space. Now, only the area directly below the date number will be shaded, allowing more of the background picture to be visible.
Improved the Details Pane to indicate whether tasks on a selected date have been completed. Also, if the option to show completed tasks is disabled, completed tasks will no longer appear in the Details Pane for a selected date.
Improved most windows to close when the Escape key is pressed or to perform a default action when the Enter key is pressed.
Corrected a problem with Google Calendar authorization and syncing sometimes stopping after a few hours or days. In some cases, the authorization webpage would appear multiple times per day. This will no longer happen.
Corrected handling the case where networking problems temporarily prevent VueMinder from accessing Google Calendar. VueMinder will wait until a connection can be established and then continue syncing, with no authorization webpages or error messages displayed.
Corrected syncing with Google Calendar in the case where a monthly event is defined to repeat every 2 or more months. The event would appear in VueMinder every single month.
Corrected syncing of recurring events with Google Calendar when the recurrence pattern is configured to repeat on a day of the week that is the 4th in the month, such as the 4th Tuesday.
Corrected syncing with Google Calendar when recurring events are defined to start and stop on the same day. The single occurrence would not appear in VueMinder.
Corrected syncing recurring events with Google Calendar when they are defined to have an end date. In some cases, the last occurrence wouldn't appear in VueMinder.
Corrected syncing event categories with Google Calendar when the right-click "Categorize" command is used to change an event category in VueMinder. The category association would get reverted back to the previous value after syncing.
Corrected syncing of event appearances with Google Calendar. When a single occurrence of a recurring event had its appearance customized, the appearance wouldn't sync back to Google Calendar.
Corrected handling of the case where a locally added or modified event doesn't properly sync with Google Calendar (for whatever reason, such as network problems). VueMinder will continue attempting to sync the event until successful.
Corrected a problem with occurrences of recurring events not being removed from Google Calendar if they are moved to different dates before being deleted.
Corrected a problem where VueMinder would not sync with events defined in Google Calendar that have the same title and occur at the same time as other events defined in the same calendar.
Corrected a problem with floating tasks sometimes not automatically moving to the current date if synced with Google Tasks.
Corrected a problem with multi-day tasks that are configured to float to the current date when overdue. The tasks would sometimes not automatically move to the current date after becoming overdue.
Corrected importing contacts from Google to include birthdays.
Corrected importing contacts from Google that only have a last name entered. Previously, the last name would appear as the first name in VueMinder.
Corrected importing contacts from Google to include accented characters (á, é, í, ü, ő, ű etc.). Previously, the accented characters wouldn't appear in VueMinder.
Corrected a problem with duplicate events sometimes appearing in calendars shared through VueMinder Server. Note, this correction will prevent new duplicates but won't clean up existing duplicates.
Corrected a problem with events sometimes disappearing when added to calendars that are both published and subscribed.
Corrected calendars added via the "Add Public Calendars and Holidays" command to get the default event and reminder settings specified for all new calendars.
Corrected a problem with calendar subscriptions that only contain one event, where deleting that event in the remote calendar would not cause the event to be removed from VueMinder after syncing.
Corrected the "Sync Now" button in the bottom-right corner of the Status Bar. In some cases, the button wouldn't work for calendar subscriptions or calendars that are synced 1-way from Google to VueMinder.
Corrected ICS import/subscriptions and handling of time zones. In some cases, events would appear at the wrong time in VueMinder.
Corrected the "Connect to Server" window to include a check box for enabling SSL. This window appears if the option to save the password was not enabled and a calendar subscription requires authentication in order to sync.
Corrected a problem with recurring events sometimes not properly importing from ICS files, depending on how the recurrence pattern is defined in the ICS file.
Corrected a problem with importing ICS files when they contain event organizer email addresses that span multiple lines.
Corrected problems importing ICS files when they contain certain non-standard properties.
Corrected a problem with exported ICS files not importing properly into Outlook if one or more events in the exported file end at midnight but are not all-day events.
Corrected a problem where entering a title for a contact would result in the title being moved to the contact's first name the next time the contact is opened.
Corrected printing the 5-week Monthly layout style to use the specified date range instead of printing whole months.
Corrected the Month view to continue showing a whole month (if that option is enabled) when the "Today" or "Go to Date" buttons are clicked.
Corrected the Details Pane when set to "Today" to automatically refresh when the current date changes.
Corrected the Details Pane to refresh when a linked item is changed. For example, if the Details Pane is showing a contact that is linked to an event and the event title is modified, the new title will now automatically appear in the Details Pane.
Corrected a problem when using the Italian translation and attempting to snooze reminders for more than 2 hours.
Corrected the "Due In" column in the popup reminder window to continue to refresh for events that started more than a few hours ago.
Corrected email and SMS reminders to not remove contacts that have their "File As" value changed.
Corrected sending SMS and voice phone reminders through SMS Matrix to automatically remove non-numeric characters from phone numbers. As of January 12, 2014, SMS Matrix requires phone numbers to have digits only (no spaces, dashes, etc).
Corrected the Recent Reminders window to refresh when events are edited or colors changed.
Corrected the event count in the status bar to not include recurring events where all occurrences have been deleted.
Corrected the message displayed when deleting the first occurrence of a recurring series to not provide an option to delete the selected occurrence and all that follow, since that's the same as deleting the entire series.
Corrected the Edit menu and right-click menu to not show Categorize, Prioritize, and Assign to Calendar commands when the selected event is read-only or belongs to a subscribed calendar.
Corrected the up/down navigation buttons in the Event Editor to not show the previous event's description if the current event doesn't have a description.
Corrected a number of problems related to text scaling. Some input fields or buttons were being clipped on displays having 125% or larger text scaling.
Corrected the additional time zone that can be optionally displayed in the Day view. It was an hour off.
Corrected the Desktop Calendar to not hide the "Move/Resize" button when maximized. This was causing confusion for some users.
Corrected a problem with the Move/Resize button and other buttons in the upper-right corner of the Desktop Calendar sometimes disappearing.
Corrected the Calendar Items area to restore whichever tab (Calendars, Categories, Priorities, or Locations) that was active when VueMinder was last closed.
Corrected a problem with the display of notes in the Calendar View and Notes List if note text is entered on the Plain Text tab and includes characters reserved for HTML, such as the less-than symbol. HTML code would start to appear in the note text if the note was re-opened and saved.
Corrected an unhanded exception message that would intermittently appear on some computers.

Corrected published calendars to immediately publish when an event is pasted.

Corrected problems with events sometimes overlapping each other when word-wrapping is enabled, or flickering when events are selected.
Corrected problems with completed events sometimes not being faded, or being faded inconsistently. Also fixed cases where incomplete events were faded when they shouldn't be.

Corrected web pages calendars that are uploaded to an FTP server to show tooltips when hovering over events (if this option was enabled). A script required for showing the tooltips was not being properly uploaded.
Corrected the start/end date range on the Print window to only show month names when the print layout is set to Monthly.
Corrected a problem with a selected task sometimes not being marked as completed when the F12 key is pressed. It would take a second key press before the task would be marked as completed.

Corrected a problem with sound sometimes continuing to play after the "Delete All" command on the Popup Reminder windows is used to delete all the listed events or tasks.
Corrected the drop-down list of recently used sounds or pictures in the popup reminder settings. Any files that are no longer present will not be listed in the drop-down.

New in VueMinder Pro 10.1.3 (Jan 12, 2013)

Added the Traditional Chinese language translation. This will be the default if the language in the Windows Control Panel is set to Traditional Chinese. Otherwise, Traditional Chinese can be selected from the Language menu.
Improved the drop-down list for selecting start or end times. Selecting a time will be easier because the list will require less scrolling.
Improved calendar subscriptions to show a message when attempting to delete an event belonging to a subscribed (read-only) calendar. The message provides an option of disabling the subscription so events belonging to that calendar can be deleted.
Improved handling of recurring event reminders when several events in the same series have unprocessed reminders occurring in the past. Only the reminder for the most recent occurrence will be shown. Dismissing or snoozing the reminder will no longer result in another reminder for the next oldest occurrence appearing after 1 minute.

Corrected entry of email addresses in the Contact List to not prefix the address with a space.
Minor corrections and improvements.

New in VueMinder Pro 10.1.2 (Jan 3, 2013)

Improved the Snooze field in the popup reminder window to enter edit mode when a reminder is activated. Also, as a snooze value is typed, it will be autocompleted.

Improved the Event, Task, and Note lists to use the color sidebar type that is specified in the View menu.
Improved the Details Pane to indicate whether the selected event has been marked as completed.

Corrected syncing of individual event colors with Google Calendar when the colors are modified via the Appearance Toolbar.

Corrected importing from ICS files that were generated by iCal. In some cases, an error message would appear.
Corrected the Details Pane to update when a date is clicked in the Day, Week, or Year views. Previously, this was only working in the Month view.

Corrected the Desktop Calendar to highlight today's date.
Corrected the task tray tooltip that is displayed after VueMinder is minimized, so clicking the tooltip will prevent it from appearing again (as indicated in the tooltip).
Corrected sending SMS reminders through a 3rd party web-based SMS service. Reminders would always be sent to the event or task creator, even when the "Send to myself" box was unchecked. Also, when using a non-English translation of VueMinder, reminders would sometimes not be delivered to the specified recipients.
Corrected each menu command to end with "..." when using the command will result in a new window appearing within VueMinder.
Corrected printing to not show the "Click to add event" button, which would sometimes appear in the printout.
Corrected tables in the text editor to use the same default font style, size, and color that is used for text outside of tables.
Corrected installation on Windows 8 to not incorrectly claim the need for .NET Framework 3.5. Only .NET Framework 4.0 is required.
Minor improvements and corrections

New in VueMinder Pro 10.1.0 (Dec 3, 2012)

Added the Italian language. This will be the default if the language in the Windows Control Panel is set to Italian. Otherwise, Italian can be selected from the Language menu.

Added a warning when a reminder is snoozed past an event's starting time or a task's due time. There is also an option to disable this warning.
Added a "Paste as Plain Text" button to the text editor's toolbar. The text will be pasted using the currently specified format, not the format of the original source.
Improved tooltips to adjust the maximum tooltip size based on the screen resolution. Smaller screens will have smaller tooltips.
Improved the Navigation Pane, Year View, and Mini Desktop Calendar to show clickable tooltips when hovering over a date. Events, tasks, and notes can be opened from the tooltip by clicking links.

Improved the font size override in the Print window to restore any previously specified value independently for each print layout style.

Corrected saving as a web page to include date background colors. Previously, only date background images were included.

Corrected problems syncing recurring events over a local network, especially after adding an existing shared calendar to another computer. Any recurring event variations wouldn't appear until after VueMinder was restarted.

Corrected processing of meeting requests generated by Microsoft Exchange if the sender has a signature defined.
Corrected the Year view background color to match the appearance theme, instead of always being white.
Removed the Redo command, due to a number of problems introduced when redoing changes, especially if calendars are synced or changes to recurring events are undone/redone.

New in VueMinder Pro 9.0.2 (Feb 22, 2012)

New in VueMinder Pro 9.0.1 (Feb 13, 2012)

Improved the appearance of events, tasks, and notes. Square corners will now be used in the Calendar View, which provides slightly more space for item text and a cleaner look. It also helps improve the software performance, especially when a large number of events are visible.
Improved the rows in the popup reminder window to use the font size of each associated event or task. For example, if an event has a font size of 12, its associated reminder font size will also be 12. Previously the font size was always 8.
Improved the Day and Week views to draw a line through the time slot that contains the current time, similar to Google Calendar.

Improved security of the password feature under the Program Options. The current password must be verified before it can be changed or disabled.
Improved the "Show Full Dates" option in the Month View Settings to show abbreviated month names for each date, instead of the full (and visually overwhelming) full month names.
Corrected syncing of tasks with Google Calendar. In some time zones, tasks would appear on the wrong date after syncing to Google Calendar.
Corrected completion status of tasks that are synced with Google Calendar. If a completed task was edited in Google Calendar, the completion status would be reset the next time the task gets synced with VueMinder.
Corrected syncing of recurring events created in Google Calendar and belonging to a different time zone. The event times were not being properly adjusted to the local time zone when synced to VueMinder.
Corrected reassigning a recurring event from one shared calendar to another. The event was getting deleted instead of reassigned.
Corrected an error message when subscribing to a Yahoo Calendar that contains SMS reminders.
Corrected the popup reminder window to not process key presses such as D or S, which sometimes resulted in reminders being accidentally snoozed or dismissed if the user was typing when the popup reminder appeared.
Corrected syncing of events with Outlook when events contain formatted descriptions. The formatting was being lost.
Corrected extra blank lines that would sometimes appear before event descriptions in the Day and Week views, or after syncing with Outlook.

Corrected the Contacts List to restore column windows and the Distribution List docking status/location.
Corrected the "Send a Text Message" window (accessed via the Contact Editor or List) when a mobile carrier is used. The text message was being sent to the user in addition to the selected recipient(s).
Corrected a problem with event titles sometimes not appearing in the Day and Week views, especially when using larger font sizes and zoomed out.
Corrected dragging of events in the Day and Week views. The events will now snap to the start of the nearest timeslot instead of being offset based on the original starting time. For example, if the time slots are zoomed to 1 hour increments and an event that previously started at 8:30 is dragged to the 10:00 timeslot, it will snap to 10:00 instead of 10:30.
Corrected resizing of events in the Day and Week views. Sometimes the wrong event was resized, not the event that was selected.
Corrected the "Click to add event" button to only appear on the date that the mouse is currently hovering over.
Corrected the Enter key when input focus is on a date in the Month View. A new event will be created and will remain in edit mode so its title can be typed in.
Corrected right-clicking in the Day and Week views. Sometimes a new event would be created after releasing the right mouse button, if the button was held slightly longer than expected.
Corrected a warning in the Event Editor when creating a new all-day event, if the calendar was configured to show a popup warning when conflicting events are detected. The warning should not appear for all-day events.
Corrected the Sharing tab in the Calendar Properties window when the server is offline. The tab was coming up empty instead of explaining the problem.
Corrected the Sharing Options window to not freeze for several seconds when opened.
Corrected a problem where HTML character codes would sometimes be shown in the Details pane.
Corrected the formatted text editor when pressing the Delete key while the cursor is at the beginning of the text. All text was being deleted instead of just the first character.
Corrected the formatted text editor, which would sometimes show codes instead of new lines if the underlying HTML came from an external source and was badly formed, such as containing "&" characters instead of "&".
Many other minor bug corrections and improvements.

New in VueMinder Pro 9.0.0 (Jan 23, 2012)

Added the ability to sync tasks with Google Calendar.
Added numerous improvements to task editing, such as the ability to define nested tasks, tasks that start when other tasks are completed, or are due when the last sub-task is due. Also added input fields for task status and percent completion.
Added the ability to schedule an additional popup reminder or desktop alert based on the event ending time. In previos versions, the reminders were based on the starting time, and had to be snoozed to make them appear again at the ending time.
Added an option to wake the computer to send email or SMS reminders, and then return the computer to sleep mode. This option can be found on the Reminder Options window.
Added settings for email reminders to select whether the event summary should be sent, event description only, or both the summary and description. A similar setting has also been added to the Task Editor.
Added the ability to choose the sync direction when syncing with Outlook. 1-way syncing is now enabled, which will prevent VueMinder from making any modifications to the Outlook calendar when syncing.

Added an option to the Save as Web Page window for excluding item links in the details. This option can be used if events/tasks are linked to contacts, but these links should not be seen by the public.
Improved program performance when a large number of tasks have been defined.
Improved the FTP upload when saving the calendar to a web page. The upload will now happen in the background and won't lock up some computers.

Improved the task tray icon to show today's activities when the mouse is hovered over the icon or when VueMinder first starts.
Improved the Details Pane and popup balloon for tasks, to show the associated task calendar name.
Improved the main window title bar to show the name of the currently active calendar.

Improved the Calendar field in the Event Editor to show a drop-down of existing calendar names as a calendar name is typed.
Improved the right-click menu for calendars that are synced, to have a "Sync Calendar" command. Previously, this command was available under a "Sharing" sub-menu on the popup menu, which was more difficult to find.
Improved the Options window to move the Work Day options to their own tab, reducing clutter on the Calendar Options tab.
Improved editing of recurring events. If the specified start date is inconsistent with the specified recurrence pattern, a warning message will appear.
Improved the "Add Public Calendars and Holidays" window to allow previously added calendars to be removed.

Improved program performance, especially when there are a large number of recurring events that have occurrence numbering enabled or reminders enabled.
Improved the "Add Birthday" and "Add Anniversary" buttons at the top of the Contact Editor. If a date hasn't been entered in the Contact Editor, these buttons will no longer be disabled. Instead, clicking these buttons will prompt for a date.
Improved various windows to disable related input fields instead of completely hiding the fields, if an associated setting has not been enabled. For example, the Recurrence tab of the Event Editor will now show input fields even if the event hasn't been set to recur.
Corrected a problem where duplicate events would sometimes be shown, especially when synced with Google Calendar.
Corrected a problem where a duplicate event could be generated in Google Calendar if an event is assigned to a different calendar that is also synced with Google Calendar, using the Calendar drop-down in the Event Editor.
Corrected a problem when syncing the same calendar with both Outlook and Google Calendar, where events would sometimes disappear.
Corrected a problem with some events not appearing in Google Calendar when a calendar contains multiple events of the same title on the same date.
Corrected syncing events with Outlook, if the event title is changed in Outlook. Previously, a duplicate event would be generated in VueMinder and the Outlook event title would revert back to the previous value.
Corrected line breaks in event descriptions when syncing with Outlook. New line breaks were being added to events each time they synced, if their description was plain text instead of formatted text.
Corrected publishing calendars. The option to convert event times to UTC was being ignored, which resulted in incorrect event times when viewing the published calendar on in ical-mac, icalx, etc.
Corrected importing events that have email reminders, but no other reminder types. The reminders were not getting properly enabled.
Corrected importing events from ICS files when the events have empty status values.
Corrected problems importing events from ICS files when mixed units are used in the alarm triggers (example: -PT1W3D).
Corrected importing tasks and notes for Excel or CSV files, when a Calendar column is present. Duplicates were sometimes generated, instead of existing tasks and notes being updated if previously imported.

Corrected a problem with reminders for recurring events sometimes not properly being snoozed/dismissed and returning after 1 minute.
Corrected errors that can sometimes occur when subscribing or importing ICS calendars that were generated by Outlook/Hotmail/Exchange.
Corrected the conflicting event warning to ignore events that were previously deleted from calendars that are synced with Google Calendar.
Corrected a problem with recurring event variations not properly being subscribed or imported when the variations have titles that are different than the main series.
Corrected the "Delete/Overwrite Events" window, which can appear if importing an ICS file into a pre-existing calendar that contains events not found in the ICS file. The window will no longer be obscured behind the "Import Events" window.
Corrected exporting ICS files to include time zone information. This will ensure the event times are properly imported by Google Calendar and possibly other programs.
Corrected the Details Pane for events that have quotes in their descriptions. The Details Pane was showing the HTML code for quotes.
Corrected the popup balloon when hovering over an event that has an ampersand character in its location field. The popup was showing raw HTML.
Corrected a problem with carriage returns being removed from events that are synced with Google Calendar, if the event descriptions in Google Calendar have multiple lines.
Corrected the wrapping of task titles in the Month view. Text will no longer wrap if the Word Wrap option in the Month View Settings menu is disabled.
Corrected the subscription setting that allows reminders and extended data to be included. This option will be enabled by default.
Corrected a problem with the Monthly print layout, where item heights were sometimes too small, causing wrapped text to be clipped and not fully visible.
Corrected printing of the List layout, where empty row lines were sometimes being output.
Corrected printing of the Details layout, to not show events that have been previously deleted. This could happen for events that belong to shared calendars or are synced with Google Calendar.
Corrected right-clicking of tasks in the Tasks list when tasks are hidden from the calendar. The task row wouldn't be selected and the popup menu would be missing commands. A similar correction has also been made for the Notes list.
Corrected display of notes in the Notes list and calendar view. Notes that started with an empty line were not showing any text.
Corrected deleting of rows in the Event, Task, and Note lists using the Delete key, if rows are grouped.
Corrected generation of repeating tasks to check if a previous instance of the repeating task was already generated. This will prevent duplicate tasks from being created if a previously completed task is changed to be incomplete and then completed again.
Corrected a problem where the clock type (analog or digital) would sometimes be switched or would not be restored after restarting VueMinder.
Corrected the "Action" tab in the Task Editor to be disabled for tasks that don't have due dates. Tasks need a date in order for VueMinder to know when to display a reminder.
Corrected a problem with the SMS or voice reminder settings for events or tasks. If no reminder recipients are selected, a warning will be displayed instead of the reminder settings being discarded.
Corrected a problem with scheduled voice phone reminder times not being saved if multiple voice reminders are scheduled to be sent at the same time for the same event, but to different phone numbers (Home, Business, Mobile). Only the first entry was being saved.
Corrected the Send Now button for voice reminders that were previously sent. The voice reminder was being sent to a home phone number instead of being sent to the phone number that was previously scheduled.
Corrected a problem with voice reminders sometimes not going through (depending on phone service provider) if the caller ID number specified in the SMS/Voice options is the same as the phone number being dialed.
Corrected the "Link New -> Task" command on the Links tab. The command wasn't creating a new task.
Corrected a problem with date numbers sometimes not being easily visible in the Monthly print layout when a non-default appearance theme is used.
Corrected an error message that could sometimes appear when VueMinder is first started and calendars are shared.
Corrected the tooltip for the Email toolbar command in the Task and Note editor windows.
Corrected the "Include reminders" check box on the Import Events window, when importing from Outlook, to default to be checked if it was checked previously.
Corrected the current date color in the mini desktop calendar and calendar navigation pane, if a color has been specified in the Appearance Options. Previously, the color of the first item occurring on the date would override the specified color option.
Corrected the Description text editor when opening an event, to position the caret at the beginning of the text, rather than the end. This eliminates the need to scroll up to the beginning of the text.
Corrected a problem where a new event could be marked read-only if the active calendar is a subscription and the first calendar in the list is a read-only 1-way Google Calendar. The new event was being improperly assigned to the read-only Google Calendar.
Corrected maximizing the desktop calendar when positioned on a secondary monitor. It was being maximized on the primary monitor instead of the secondary monitor.
Corrected date numbers in the mini desktop calendar for dates that contain tasks. Sometimes, the date numbers weren't visible.
Corrected the current date highlight shown on the mini desktop calendar and navigation pane to automatically refresh when the date changes.
Corrected the popup reminder window when multiple reminders are displayed and the active reminder is snoozed or dismissed. The next reminder in the list will be made active, instead of the first reminder.
Corrected a problem with the global hot-keys for showing the main window and desktop calendar being reset after an update.
Corrected a problem in the editor window, where pressing Alt+Up or Alt+Down would result in anomalous behavior.
Corrected a problem where the process vueminder.exe would sometimes continue to run after VueMinder was exited.
Corrected restoring from a backup, to not assume the same data location that was used previously.
Many other minor improvements and corrections.

Improved importing from ICS files when double-clicking the file name or dragging the file into VueMinder's main window. Instead of assuming the currently active calendar as the destination, a window will appear allowing a different calendar to be selected.

Improved the "Today" button to include an icon to the left of its label, making it easier to find the button.
Improved the popup balloon when hovering over an event. The balloon will now include the event date(s).

Improved the default font used for event, task, and note titles to be slightly larger and easier to read.
Improved the Week view when using Grid mode or when printing Weekly layout Style 2. When there are more items than available space within a date, a downward pointing arrow will appear at the bottom of the date to indicate there are additional items.

Corrected a memory leak which could result in high memory use on some computers, especially when running the software for an extended period of time or frequently syncing with Google Calendar.

Corrected snoozing or dismissal of recurring event reminders. Sometimes the reminder would reappear after 1 minute.
Corrected auto-snoozing of desktop alerts for recurring events.

Corrected saving of desktop alert settings for an event or task, when the setting to speak a voice reminder is disabled after previously being enabled. The voice reminder was still enabled after saving.
Corrected the checkboxes in the visible columns menu of the Event, Task, and Contact lists, to always be consistent with the currently visible columns.
Corrected the Event Editor when a recurring series is opened, to not show a warning about the event occurring in the past. This warning is only intended for individual events or occurrences.
Corrected the "File As" field in the Contact Editor window. When a new contact is created and the contact's first, last, and middle names are entered, the "File As" field will update to include the middle name.
Corrected the Details pane to not show "&" code values in descriptions that include an & character.
Corrected subscribing to the ICS URL of 30boxes. This correction also may also solve problems importing or subscribing to ICS files created by some other programs.
Corrected double-clicking of an ICS file to import. The import would sometimes get stuck in a loop where additional import windows would appear.
Corrected creation of tasks that don't have due dates. Sometimes the tasks would appear on the calendar anyway, with a starting date of 1793, and the calendar view would switch to this date.
Corrected the main window to properly restore to the maximum size if previously maximized and the computer is restarted.

Corrected the font size of the Month Navigation Pane, to recall the previous font size selection when the program is restarted.

Corrected the "Check For Updates" command on the Help menu to not indicate the current version is the latest if the update check fails due to a firewall or other connection problem. An error message will appear instead.

Improved opening of events belonging to recurring series. Hold the Alt key while double-clicking an event to open just that occurrence. The window asking to open the occurrence or series will not be shown.
Corrected stability problems and other odd behavior. If you've noticed events disappearing, reminders not being processed, events not opening, red X's in the Month view, or other strange behavior, this version should fix it.
Corrected exiting of the program, where it would sometimes crash or hang and need to be killed via the Task Manager.
Corrected problems with reminders sometimes disappearing from the popup reminder window.
Corrected the color of desktop alerts for recurring events, when the mouse is moved over the desktop alert. Previously, the desktop alert background and text colors would be lost, making the reminder text impossible to see.

Corrected the drop-down category list in the Event Editor to not show categories that have been removed.
Corrected the Details pane. It was showing HTML code in some cases.
Corrected sorting of rows in the Recent Reminders window. When sorting by the Start/Due column, the rows will now be sorted in chronological order instead of alphabetically.

Corrected the text displayed when hovering over a date in the Navigation Pane, to not indicate previously deleted events are hidden.

Added the ability to override the color and appearance settings of individual notes in the Calendar View. These settings will override the default associated calendar or category appearances for the note.

Added zoom in/out buttons to the date navigation bar above the Day, Week, Month, and Timeline views. These buttons adjust the number of visible timeslots, days, or weeks.
Added a spell checker to the text editor in the Event, Task, Note, and Contact editor windows. The spell checker can automatically underline misspelled words in red, or run a spell check by clicking a button on the toolbar. Unrecognized words can be added to a user-defined dictionary. Note, this spell checker currently supports English only. The toolbar buttons for spell-checking will be hidden if Windows is set to a non-English language.
Added the ability to drag events, tasks, and notes from their List tab to a date in the Month view. This will also work for tasks and notes that were not previously configured with a date.

Improved dragging of pictures into the description/details tab of the editor windows. Instead of a text link being inserted, a linked thumbnail will be inserted instead.
Improved default event settings in the Calendar Properties window to allow a default event location to be specified.

All dates and times displayed within VueMinder should now match the date/time format settings specified in Windows, and will dynamically refresh to match the current date/time format if it is changed while VueMinder is running.

Corrected the initially displayed dates when the program is started. The current date will always be initially visible.

This counter will automatically show the appropriate value for each year, and can be configured to start at any value. The counter settings are located under the Yearly recurrence settings in the Event Editor.
Added the ability to define contacts using a new "Contacts" menu option, accessed from the Tools menu.
Added an “Extend Trial” button to the registration window after the 30 day trial period has expired. This button can be used to request and extension to the trial period, in case 30 days are not enough to reach a purchasing decision.
Added a "Delete All" button option on the popup reminder window. This button can be used to delete all the events and/or tasks associated with the displayed reminders.
Improved the appearance of events in the Calendar View and Event List. Border colors will now automatically coordinate with selected background colors. A large number of default appearances are have been added for new calendars, and these appearances have been made more aesthetically pleasing.
Improved the display of events having formatted text descriptions. These descriptions will no longer show raw HTML tags in the Event List’s Description column, in the Day or Week views, or when printing.
Improved exporting to Excel so raw HTML tags are no longer included in the exported event descriptions.
Improved the Day and Week views of the default appearance theme to show event descriptions. Previously, only the event title and location would appear.
Improved all aspects of program performance using memory caching and various other optimizations. It should be significantly faster now, even when there are a large number of events displayed.
Improved event deletion so when multiple events are selected, including recurring events, only one prompt is displayed to confirm deletion of the entire selection.
Improved event creation when a subscribed (i.e., read-only) calendar is active. Rather than displaying a warning message, the program will default the new event to belong to a different non-subscribed calendar.
Improved importing from ICS files so when importing into a destination calendar, if all existing events in the destination calendar are selected for deletion or overwriting, a message is displayed asking for confirmation. This will help avoid potential data loss when importing into an existing calendar.
Improved the calendar defaults so the default category is used for new events when importing or subscribing into the calendar. The default category will be used for events that have no specified category in the calendar source.
Improved error handling of invalid date formats when importing from ICS. For example, time values that are only 5 digits in length instead of the expected 6 will be properly handled, instead of the import failing.
Improved the status bar to show the time the active calendar was last synced with Outlook, if applicable.
Improved the visual look-and-feel of all menu and toolbar icons.
Corrected a large number of problems related to calendar sharing over a local network, especially when the calendar subscription update setting of “Automatically” is selected.
Corrected a problem with the Import window appearing numerous times after double-clicking an ICS file from outside of VueMinder Calendar. The window will now appear only once, as was intended.
Corrected a problem with snoozing desktop alerts for tasks. The desktop alerts would always reappear after 1 minute, regardless of the snooze length selected.
Corrected an error message when attempting to preview a task reminder.
Corrected a problem with print output always going to the default printer, regardless of which destination printer is selected.
Corrected a problem when creating a new task, where a new event of the same name was also sometimes being created.
Corrected the appearance of all-day events when selected in the Day and Week views. Previously, the background colors of all-day events would be changed when selected.
Corrected a problem when selecting a recurring event in the Calendar View, where the appropriate row in the Event List (if displayed) was not being activated.
Corrected problems with snoozed and dismissed reminders for recurring events sometimes not correctly appearing in the Recent Reminders window.
Corrected a problem with dismissed events no longer appearing as faded in the Calendar View after displaying the Recent Reminders window.
Corrected a performance problem with the Recent Reminder window. This problem also caused calendar subscription updates to take far longer than expected. Subscription updates should now only require a couple seconds.
Corrected a number of refresh problems in the Event List, such as when an event is reassigned to a different calendar or its reminder is dismissed.
Corrected the reminder status displayed in the Event List, tooltips, and Details pane. In some cases, the status was saying the reminder would be displayed, when it wouldn’t be due to it not being shared with the current user, occurring too far in the past, or other various reasons.
Corrected a problem with the dismissed reminder status in the Event List being cleared every time the associated event is changed.
Corrected a problem with plain text email reminders, if the associated event description contains non-English characters. Instead of displaying the correct character, a “?” would appear in the email reminder in place of the character.
Corrected a problem with a conflict warning being displayed in the Event Editor for recurring events, even when there are no other conflicting events.
Corrected an “out of memory” error that would appear when the mouse is moved over an event having a description with a line exceeding 200 characters, without spaces.
Corrected a problem when setting work day options using non-English languages. The work day options were not being properly saved.
Corrected a problem when selecting the short US date/time format when using a non-English language. A longer format was always being used.
Corrected the “Check for Updates” window so it doesn’t display above all other windows.
Other minor bug corrections and improvements.
