v0.9.0

Daynizer v0.9.0

Changes since v0.8.10. Daynizer remains beta, pre-1.0, keep a backup of anything important.

• Thunderbird add-on: Thunderbird's own address books in the Contacts tab. Their contacts show
  beside Daynizer's (Settings > Contacts can hide them), and the contact editor and every clean-up
  tool can change them; Thunderbird syncs them as it always does. A contact in two of Thunderbird's books with one
  contact ID can only be changed in the copy Thunderbird lets add-ons reach; the other copy is marked,
  and Clean up > In several books sorts such contacts out (mailing lists kept). Their mailing lists show under Clean up > Lists to labels and can become labels too. Every change can be
  undone from Changes.
• No doubled contacts when Thunderbird and Daynizer sync the same address book. A Thunderbird
  book that holds the same contacts as one of Daynizer's (told by contact ID) is hidden, so each contact
  shows once; the sidebar says so and can show it again. Thunderbird contacts are tagged with their book's name.
• Lists to labels: a mailing list's members can move into another address book (Thunderbird's or
  Daynizer's) with the label, like a whole address book's contacts, and the emptied list is deleted.
  Right-click a mailing list there to delete it. Undo brings it all back.
• Delete Thunderbird address books: right-click one in the sidebar (it asks first), or tick "then
  delete" when Lists to labels moves a whole book's contacts out. This can't be undone, and Undo won't
  run a change whose address book is gone.
• The desktop app is unchanged from v0.8.10 apart from wording.

Daynizer v0.8.10

Changes since v0.8.9. Daynizer remains beta, pre-1.0, keep a backup of anything important.

• The calendar stays where you scrolled it. In a busy month scrolled down to a later week,
  clicking a task or event threw the grid back to the top, and a sync or a saved change could do
  the same. Now it stays put, and a click only moves the highlight.
• Contacts clean-up tools, from Contacts Cleanup. The Contacts tab's sidebar has new sections:
  • Clean up: Duplicates (check the cards that are the same person, pick what the merged card
    keeps, merge; "Not duplicates" hides a group for good), In several books (the same contact in
    two address books with one ID: link the copies, keep one with the other books as labels,
    separate them, or leave them), Phone numbers (one format, +1 555 123 4567, with a default
    country), Missing names, and Lists to labels (an address book becomes a label, and can move
    into another book).
  • Chat: Chat addresses: every contact with a phone number or chat address, JMP.chat
    addresses added from their numbers, and chat addresses other apps can't read (no xmpp:,
    X-JABBER, Google's x-apple:) fixed.
  • More: Changes, every change made there, each one can be undone (also Edit > Undo).
    These replace the old Merge duplicates screen. Pairs marked "Not duplicates" there are kept.
    Categories in the sidebar fold away with a click on their name.
• Contact details you don't edit in Daynizer stay on the card. Saving a contact used to
  rewrite the whole card from Daynizer's own fields, which dropped what Daynizer doesn't show: the
  marker that tells Google Contacts and iCloud a chat address is XMPP, a second phone type, Apple's
  custom labels, the PO box of an address. Now a card nothing changed on goes back exactly as it
  came, and an edited one keeps those details. Imported contacts keep their photo when they sync.
• View > Contacts Sidebar… chooses what the Contacts tab's left pane shows: address books,
  labels, each clean-up tool, the Chat items, More. Hiding one only takes it off the pane; nothing
  in your contacts or on the server changes, and ticking it again brings it back.
• View > More from Precision Crab… lists the other Precision Crab apps, each with a link.
• Upcoming birthdays list each person once. Someone in several address books showed up once
  per book. Now each birthday and anniversary is listed once.
• Show several address books or labels at once. In the Contacts tab, Ctrl+click (Cmd+click on
  a Mac) an address book or label to add it to what's shown, or to take it out, the same as lists
  in Tasks and Calendar. A plain click still shows just that one.

Daynizer v0.8.9

Changes since v0.8.8. Daynizer remains beta, pre-1.0, keep a backup of anything important.

• Windows tells you when an update is ready. Daynizer already downloaded updates quietly and
  installed them the next time it fully quit, which could be days away while it sits in the tray.
  Now a bar at the bottom says which version is ready, with Restart now, What's new and Later, and
  the tray menu gets a "Restart to update" item. It also checks for updates twice a day while
  running, not only at start.
• "Restart to update" restarts Daynizer when it's set to stay in the tray or the built-in sync
  server is running. Before, it only hid the window. Unsynced changes are synced first.

Daynizer v0.8.8

Changes since v0.8.6 (v0.8.7 was a Thunderbird add-on update only, listed below). Daynizer remains
beta, pre-1.0, keep a backup of anything important.

• Timed tasks show on the right day in the calendar's month view. In the Americas, a task due
  in the evening (from 8 PM on in US Eastern summer time, earlier further west) was drawn on the
  next day. Its stored date and time were right; only the day it was drawn on was wrong. The same
  went for "Start date only".
• The Today panel shows evening tasks and events on their own day. They were missing from
  Today and showed up a day late, and a task due last night counted as due today, not overdue.
• Today & Overdue and the "Due" filter no longer include tomorrow's all-day tasks in the
  Americas.
• All-day tasks and events from the server keep their date in Europe, Asia and Australia.
  They were saved one day early. Items already saved early are corrected the next time they change
  on the server; check any you rely on.

---

Daynizer v0.8.7 (Thunderbird add-on only)

• The Daynizer button in the left sidebar no longer goes missing after Thunderbird restarts.
  It came back only once the Daynizer tab was open again or you clicked the toolbar button.

---

Daynizer v0.8.6

Changes since v0.8.5. v0.8.5 came out for Windows and macOS only, so on Linux and in the Thunderbird
add-on this is the first release with its changes too (listed below). Daynizer remains beta,
pre-1.0, keep a backup of anything important.

• Settings no longer opens at every start on builds without the built-in sync server (the
  Flatpak from the Daynizer Flatpak repository before this release). It opened to the Sync Server
  page with no "Got it" button to dismiss it.
• Deleting something that changed on another device no longer fails forever. If a task, event
  or contact was edited elsewhere (on your phone, say) after the last sync, the server refused the
  delete with "HTTP 412" and Daynizer retried the same way at every sync. Your delete now wins.
• Deleted contacts no longer come back when the server couldn't delete them right away. They
  are now retried at the next sync, like tasks and events.

---

Daynizer v0.8.5

Changes since v0.8.4. Daynizer remains beta, pre-1.0, keep a backup of anything important.

• Light mode. View > Theme now has Match System (the default), Light Mode and Dark Mode, in
  the desktop app and the Thunderbird add-on. Match System follows your computer's setting (in
  Thunderbird, Thunderbird's own theme) and switches with it. The choice is saved on each computer.
• Linux and macOS tell you when an update is out. Windows already updates itself; on Linux and
  macOS, Daynizer now checks for a newer release when it starts (and twice a day while running)
  and shows a bar at the bottom with how to update: GNOME Software, KDE Discover or
  flatpak update for the Flatpak, the apt install command for the .deb, or the release page.
  "Later" hides it until the next version.
• The auto-updating Flatpak includes the built-in sync server again. Since v0.8.0 the Flatpak
  from the Daynizer Flatpak repository was built without it (the one attached to each GitHub
  release had it).
• Linux packages now state their license (GPL-3.0-or-later). The .deb showed "unknown" before.
• Pick a contact's address book at the top of the contact form. The Address book field was at
  the bottom and only appeared with more than one book; it's now the first field and always shown,
  so a new contact's book is easy to set.
• Moving a contact to another address book no longer leaves a copy behind. A contact already
  synced to the server was re-downloaded into its old book on the next sync. It is now removed from
  the old book and uploaded to the new one.

Daynizer v0.8.4

Changes since v0.8.3. Daynizer remains beta, pre-1.0, keep a backup of anything important.

• Fixed repeating events showing an hour off after a daylight-saving change. A weekly 4 PM
  meeting created in winter showed at 5 PM in summer on the calendar. Repeats now keep their clock
  time. Completing a timed repeating task had the same drift and is fixed too.
• Show several lists at once, and save them as a view. Click a list in the sidebar to show
  only that list; Ctrl+click (Cmd+click on Mac) to add more lists or take one away. This works on
  the Tasks tab and the Calendar tab, which each keep their own selection. On the Calendar tab,
  clicking a list in the sidebar now narrows the calendar to it, and the List filter is a checkbox
  list (tick to add a list, click a name to show only that one). The Calendar tab has a Save view
  button too, and saved views (renamed from "Filters") work from either tab: a view brings its
  lists and category to whichever tab you open it on. Views you saved before carry over.
• **Filter bars stay ...

beta, pre-1.0, keep a backup of anything important.

• Timed tasks show on the right day in the calendar's month view. In the Americas, a task due
  in the evening (from 8 PM on in US Eastern summer time, earlier further west) was drawn on the
  next day. Its stored date and time were right; only the day it was drawn on was wrong. The same
  went for "Start date only".
• The Today panel shows evening tasks and events on their own day. They were missing from
  Today and showed up a day late, and a task due last night counted as due today, not overdue.
• Today & Overdue and the "Due" filter no longer include tomorrow's all-day tasks in the
  Americas.
• All-day tasks and events from the server keep their date in Europe, Asia and Australia.
  They were saved one day early. Items already saved early are corrected the next time they change
  on the server; check any you rely on.

Daynizer v0.8.7 (Thunderbird add-on only)

• The Daynizer button in the left sidebar no longer goes missing after Thunderbird restarts.
  It came back only once the Daynizer tab was open again or you clicked the toolbar button.

Daynizer v0.8.6

Changes since v0.8.5. v0.8.5 came out for Windows and macOS only, so on Linux and in the Thunderbird
add-on this is the first release with its changes too (listed below). Daynizer remains beta,

Daynizer v0.8.4

• Fixed repeating events showing an hour off after a daylight-saving change. A weekly 4 PM
  meeting created in winter showed at 5 PM in summer on the calendar. Repeats now keep their clock
  time. Completing a timed repeating task had the same drift and is fixed too.
• Show several lists at once, and save them as a view. Click a list in the sidebar to show
  only that list; Ctrl+click (Cmd+click on Mac) to add more lists or take one away. This works on
  the Tasks tab and the Calendar tab, which each keep their own selection. On the Calendar tab,
  clicking a list in the sidebar now narrows the calendar to it, and the List filter is a checkbox
  list (tick to add a list, click a name to show only that one). The Calendar tab has a Save view
  button too, and saved views (renamed from "Filters") work from either tab: a view brings its
  lists and category to whichever tab you open it on. Views you saved before carry over.
• Filter bars stay on one line. On a narrow window (or a Thunderbird tab) the filters on the
  Tasks and Calendar tabs no longer stack onto extra rows; their labels shorten instead (for
  example "Tasks: Start–Due" becomes "T: S–D"). Open a filter to see its full choices.
• Hide the filters you don't use: View → Filters. Untick a filter to remove it from the
  toolbar. A hidden filter still applies, and you can change its setting in the same window.
  The Calendar's Month/Week/Day picker counts as a filter, and the calendar now remembers it
  between launches.
• View → Saved Views. Open any saved view, or save the current one, from the menu. Saved views
  now also remember which filters are hidden, the Tasks sort order, and the calendar's
  Month/Week/Day.
• New tasks and events go into the list you have selected. With a list selected, anything you
  create lands in it (with several selected, the first one you picked); with All selected, it goes
  to your default list from Settings. This now also holds for File → New Task (Ctrl+N), which
  ignored the selection, and for new tasks made on the Calendar tab, which used the Tasks tab's
  selection instead of the calendar's.
• Choose what each tab shows when Daynizer opens. Settings → Calendars & Lists has a default
  Tasks view (All Tasks, Today & Overdue, or a saved view) and a default Calendar view (same as
  last time, All lists, or a saved view).
• Thunderbird add-on: reminders now pop up as notifications. Turn them on in Settings →
  Notifications; Thunderbird asks once for permission to show notifications. Reminders show while
  Thunderbird is running, and clicking ...
