Version 2.0

[mrvnklm]

Thanks a lot for your input! I'll be exploring something analogous to this, hope to launch the feature with version 2.0 in January or February.

Regarding that, I was wondering if you could tell which features might be included and if you still plan on releasing it in Jan/Feb?
Anyway, thank you for that amazing package, made my life a lot easier already.

Hi @mrvnklm !

I'd been blessed with a second round of COVID (all better now) so I've had some delays on my side, sorry about that.

I do plan on releasing a version 2.0 in February. Supporting multiple distinct calendars has suddenly become a requirement in one of my client projects, so that feature is pretty much guaranteed to be included.

Version 2.0 will also extend backwards compatibility towards Laravel 8.0 and PHP 7.4.

I hope to be able to include at least the Week view from this pull request but I haven't looked at that in-depth yet, so it might show up in a later 2.* release.

I would personally also like to add Event Filtering, i.e. a drop-down above the calendar to be able to select different sets of events, but that's pretty much guaranteed to come in a later release because I think the other things are more important.

Let me know if you have any more questions or remarks!

[mrvnklm]

Alright, thank you for the update!

Would you mind creating a develop branch? I might look into implementing some filters, as I will need that feature probably around mid/end february.

I checked out the pull request you were talking about as well. Would be nice, if you could merge that to the development branch first.

[wdelfuego]

@mrvnklm The dev branch exists and is up to date with the current main branch. I will merge pull request #26 to dev when I have reviewed the feature and made the required changes.

I have filters on my to-do list, but haven't started implementing them yet. Are you still intending to build that feature?

[wdelfuego]

Support for multiple distinct calendars has been implemented and pushed to the dev branch so it will definitely be available in 2.0.

[mrvnklm]

@wdelfuego Sorry for the late reply. As I am pretty busy currently, I can't implement the filter feature in near future...

Hi @wdelfuego, thanks for your great work on this package! Can you shed some light on the V2.0 release? Is there anything we can do to help you get it over the finish line?

[wdelfuego]

Hi @PimButton, thanks for your kind words :)

The V2 release will be out within weeks. I am sorry for the delay!

Support for multiple distinct calendars, each with their own calendar data provider, is already finished and working.

I probably won't release a week view and event filtering in the 2.0 release, but I am doing infrastructural preparations that break backwards compatibility so that they can be added later in the 2.x line without breaking anything.

For the 2.0 release I don't need any help, thanks though 👍 ! For later 2.x releases w.r.t. event filtering and possibly adding more views, working together could be nice :)!

I am willing to sponsor event filtering to speed up development

[wdelfuego]

That's awesome, @jeremiahsherrill ! Let's get in touch over email to arrange this, I'll drop you a message.

[wdelfuego]

Version 2.0 will be released next week, with support for multiple calendar instances and event filtering

[wdelfuego]

I am glad to announce that version 2.0 has been released today :).
