Calcurse is a text-based calendar and scheduling application. It helps keep track of events, appointments, and everyday tasks. A configurable notification system reminds the user of upcoming deadlines, and the curses based interface can be customized to suit user needs. All of the commands are documented within an online help system.

Release Notes: Handles iCal line folding correctly, and introduces a configure option to completely exclude the documentation subdirectory from the build process ("--disable-docs"). Note for packagers: The "--without-asciidoc" configure option has been split into two separate options to make things clearer and allow for including documentation without actually rebuilding it. "--disable-docs" can be used if you do not want to include documentation at all, and "--without-asciidoc" can be used to skip documentation generation and use prebuilt documentation from the release tarball.


Release Notes: This release keeps the order of events across restarts, avoids flickering on window resize, avoids a segfault when resizing the calcurse window, adds missing documentation for the "backword-kill-word" line editing function, honors the "TMPDIR" environment variable, fixes pager invocation when showing the log file during an import, accepts resource parameters in iCal import, synchronizes the notification item after editing or pasting an appointment, fixes recurrent appointment notification, fixes flagging of regular appointments, and fixes sort order when using command line options to display upcoming appointments and events.


Release Notes: New features include support for short form dates, a "backword-kill-word" line editing function, and automatic removal of notes that are empty after editing. Documentation and man pages now are in AsciiDoc format. Manual and man pages contain updated links to the new website and mailing lists, as well as instructions on how to use Transifex. Important bugs causing a segfault when resizing the help window were fixed, as well as lock file issues and parsing of appointment end times that date back were addressed. A Russian translation was added.


Release Notes: New enhancements in this version include a weekly calendar view that displays the week number and colored slices indicating appointment times. The side bar width can now be customized by the user. Some bugs were addressed in this release, the most important being incorrect calculation of recurrent dates after a turn of year.


Release Notes: A daemon was implemented so that reminders can now be sent while calcurse is running in the background. A new '--status' command line option was added for displaying information about already running instances. Important bugs related to ical import and export were addressed in this release.
