The Mozilla calendar team has released Lightning and Sunbird 0.7 today. According to the calendar weblog, the notable improvements are:
- It is now much easier to switch between the mail and calendar parts of Thunderbird thanks to a user interface redesign
- A redesigned event/task dialog has been enabled to gather feedback
from the community. It offers a much cleaner user interface and
additional functionality including:- Events/Tasks can be created in different timezones
- Attendees can be added from a local or corporate LDAP directory
- Free-Busy information is available for users of the Sun Java Calendar Server
- Integrated display of recurrence patterns, reminders and attendees
- Custom recurrences and reminders
- Clear separation between tasks and events
- The new event summary dialog lists all the details of tasks and events for calendar which are read-only
- The Today Pane gives a quick overview over your current tasks and
upcoming events. The Today Pane can be enabled/disabled by a toolbar
button - Colliding events (events in the same time slot) are shrunk so that
they fit into the display of a day. This no longer affects other events
on the same day - Localized releases of Lightning and Sunbird in Chinese
(simplified), Georgian, Lithuanian, Portuguese (European), Spanish
(Argentina) and Turkish
Lightning 0.7 and Sunbird 0.7 are available for Windows, Mac and Linux.
