0.695 - 2009-03-01
-
Alpha versions of vPim agent (agent.octetcloud.com)
-
Fixed: reminder app had drifted out of sync with API change
0.657 - 2008-08-14
-
Date#to_time renamed to Date#vpim_to_time. Apparently Rails also patches the core.
-
Debian doesn't like RFCs. I think there is a problem with the DFG, not the IETF. The value of a standard is that it can't be modified (if anybody could publish a modified version of an RFC without restriction chaos would ensue). Still, we lost that argument, and I'll try and help packagers out.
-
View, gives various views of calendars. Experimental.
-
Fixed doc comment refs to common Property module.
-
Vtodo#duration and due now work correctly (the missing one will be calculated from the other).
-
Vevent::Maker#add_rrule, set_rrule are new, using Rrule::Maker.
-
There is now (half-of) an Rrule::Maker class to help construct RRULE values.
-
Vjournal can be encoded now (it was broken).
-
Better code coverage by the tests.
-
Recurrence#occurrences now returns an Enumerator instead of an Rrule. Both have each, and both yield the same thing, so that isn't an API change. However, Rrule had an each_until, and the Enumerator doesn't. Use the dountil argument to occurrences to get the same effect. The asymetry of this API caused me (non-aesthetic) trouble, now Rrule is an internal implementation detail. Also, this would have had to change eventually, because occurrences need to be the union of multiple RRULE and RDATE fields.
-
Recurrence#rrule, returns an Rrule for the first RRULE field. Can be used as transition.
-
Icalendar#calscale was broken, and is now unit tested, along with version and protocol?.
-
Icalendar#{each,events,todos,journals} all yield components, or return an enumerator.
-
Icalendar is enumerable.
-
Repo and Repo::Calendar are enumerable.
-
occurrences will call Rrule#each if a block is provided
-
Recurrence rules with DTSTART in UTC will now sortof work (thanks to Max Werner for providing the patch).
-
Added convenience methods for setting and getting title and org fiels (thanks to Jade Meskill for providing the patch).
-
Modified Icalendar#create2 so only prodid can be supplied and cal is yielded so events/etc. can be pushed.
-
Support Highrisehq.com's broken google talk field (see test_vcard.rb for examples, thanks to Terry Tong for reporting).
0.619 - 2008-03-30
-
Fixed some problems with rescue statements not being specific enough.
-
Vcard#birthday may now return a DateTime.
-
Added Vcard#urls
-
Fixed a mispelled Uri in Vcard#url
-
Global fix of misspellings of “occurrence”
-
KAddressBook compatibility fix - allow / in field names, even though it is illegal in vCard 3.0.
0.604 - 2008-03-13
-
Fixed a bug with lower-case UTF-16 encoded cards not being detected properly.
-
Skip over invalidly encoded vCard fields when enumerating them.
0.602 - 2008-03-12
-
Updated reminder utility to work with iCal 3.
-
Reworked gem to include tests, samples, and binaries.
0.597 - 2008-03-01
-
Support for BYSETPOS in recurrence rules (development supported by ZipDX.com)
-
Support for FREQ=weekly in recurrence rules (development supported by ZipDX.com)
-
Fixed an encode_text() bug (patch supplied by Jan Becvar)
-
Fixed problem with interaction between BYMONTH and BYDAY (patch supplied by Sam Stephenson of 32signals.com)
-
Vevent::Maker - Started adding high-level iCalendar encoding APIs
-
Vpim::Vcard::Maker - the vCard maker is moved here
-
Vpim::Maker - deprecated
-
Vcard::make, Maker::Vcard#delete_if - new
-
Vcard::Maker#add_name - deprecate, see Vcard::Maker#name
-
Vcard::Maker#fullname= - deprecate, see Vcard::Maker#name
-
Added high-level vCard decoding API.
-
Beginning to depend on ruby1.8. I'm willing to try for backwards compat if I get feedback that this causes difficulties.
-
Icalendar#components - new
-
Icalendar#vevents - deprecated, see Icalendar#components
-
split Vtodo and Vjournal into own files
-
Added Recurrence module to Vtodo and Vjournal
-
Property::Common#sequence - new
-
Property::Common#attachments - new
-
Icalendar::Attachment - new
-
Maker::Vcard#add_url - new
-
ex_mkyourown.rb - new example
-
Modularized the component property accessor methods, and added lots of Icalendar property support for Vevent, Vtodo, and Vjournal.
-
Fixed support for TEXT decoding.
-
Use Subversion revision as release sub-version.
-
It appears that a top-level vpim.rb that requires everything else is needed for ruby-gems, gemspec seems to work now.
-
Don't package backup files (…/*.rb~).
-
Icalendar decoding optimizations. Icalendar.decode is about twice as fast now, and more optimizations are scheduled.
-
Continue the move to using uppercase for all syntactic elements that can be mixed case. The API might eventually allow only uppercase, it appears case-insensitive comparisons still have a noticeable effect on performance.
0.17 - 2006-03-08
-
DirectoryInfo#delete - new
-
Maker::Vcard#fullname - new
-
Provide an example of how to create, copy, and modify version 2.1 vCards.
-
Maker::Vcard.make2 - new
-
Maker::Vcard.make - deprecated
-
Profiled decoding of a huge iCalendar file. Performance appears to be dominated by overhead of String#downcase (20% of time spent in Field#name?). Keeping the field group, field name, and field's parameter's names internally in uppercase and using ruby 1.8's String#casecmp? is a first attempt at optimization. This is a change in the default case returned, but it aligns with the RFC and common usage.
-
Maker::Vcard.make - full_name is now optional, it will be derived from name/N:
-
Maker::Vcard#add_field - better argument checking
-
Maker::Vcard#copy - new
-
Vcard#[] - now limits return to fields with values
-
Vcard#name - new
-
Vcard::Name - new
-
Vcard#nicknames - new
-
Field#params and Field#param - deprecated and undocumented, I could never remember the difference
-
Field#pnames - new
-
Field#pvalues - new
-
Methods.casecmp? - new
-
Field#pref= - new
-
Field#pvalue_idel - new
-
Field#pvalue_iadd - new
0.16 - 2006-02-19
-
Packaged in gem format, experimental.
-
Read vCards in UTF-8 or UTF-16, big or little endian, with or without a byte order mark (BOM).
-
Fixed bug with rrule occurences containing the end of the interval. Reported with patch by Brad Ediger.
0.15 - 2005-07-29
-
Fixed bug with param values with quoted strings, particularly a quoted string containing a : character, like
name;param="file:///":value
Thanks to Tamiji Homma for reporting this and sending me an example calendar.
-
Vtodo.create - new
-
Icalendar#push - allow Vtodos to be added
Thanks to Maximillian Dornseif for contributing the above two Vtodo patches.
-
Vevent.duration - bug fixes so duration can be calculated from begin/end, and end can be calculated from begin/duration
-
Vcard#nickname that strips whitespace to see if there really is a nickname
-
Vcard#birthday - returns birthday as a date
-
Vevent#create_yearly - easy, cheesy way to create yearly recurring events
-
vcf-to-ics.rb: example of how to create calendars of bdays from vcards
-
Icalendar.create() like Vevent.create(), it will take arrays of Fields, or Hashes of String => value.
-
maker/vcard.rb: Added support for X-AIM, an Apple extension.
0.14 - 2005-02-01
-
Fix: if an RRULE didn't ever yield an event (a bug in the rule) dountil was never tested.
-
Change: don't throw an ArgumentError with infinite events, just stop when the Time is no longer representable
0.13 - 2005-01-20
-
Was calling to_time with an arg, fixed.
0.12 - 2005-01-17
-
Removed require of pp from the library and utilities where it wasn't needed, it was causing problems because it doesn't exist on ruby 1.6 systems.
-
Added Field#to_date, returns field value as an array of Date objects
-
Changed Field#to_time - it now auto-detects format of values (DATE/DATE-TIME), and doesn't take/require a default_kind argument.
-
Added IMPP support to Vpim::Maker::Vcard.
-
Makefile wasn't copying the Maker classes into the release.
-
Duration value not returned unless it was negative, fixed.
-
An RRULE's UNTIL was always being assumed to be a DATE-TIME, but it can be a DATE. I fixed this, but is something of a hack, see comments and TODO.
-
Use String#scan instead of String#gsub, when appropriate (I didn't know it existed when I stated the project).
-
Run tests on 3 ruby versions.
-
Don't include docs in release package, it makes it way too large.
-
Change: use String.unpack instead of iconv to convert UCS-2 to UTF-8, removing dependency on iconv (it wasn't standard in ruby 1.6).
-
Change: simplified mutt_ab_query.rb, and renamed to vcf-to-mutt.
-
Change: reminder.rb sorts todo items by priority.
-
New: Vtodo#priority - the priority of the vTodo component.
0.11 - 2004-11-17
-
Added a Vpim::Maker::Vcard class to simplify the creation of vCards, modelled after the RSS maker from ruby's RSS library.
0.10 - 2004-11-07
-
If events don't have a recurrence rule, they occur once, but they were being returned even if they occurred after “dountil”. Fixed.
-
New sample of converting tab-delimited files to a vcard file, from Dane G. Avilla. Thanks!
0.9a - 2004-10-31
-
Made sure all events occur once in rrules.
-
New sample of encoding: mutt-aliases-vcard.rb
-
Added ToDo support to reminder.rb.
0.9 - 2004-06-17
-
Field now is mutable, you can change the group, value, params, etc.
-
Using the Enumerator object for DirectoryInfo now, instead of all the
each_by_X, and field_by_X() APIs.
-
Moved homepage and docs to Ruby Forge.
-
DirectoryInfo.create: added a profile argument
-
DirectoryInfo#push: now pushes to 1 before the end
-
DirectoryInfo#push_end: pushes onto end, in case you really want to
-
Field.create: a Date or Time object value will now be encoded as date or time
-
Vpim.encode_date(): encodes an RFC2425 date
-
Vpim.encode_time(): encodes an RFC2425 time
-
Vpim.encode_date_time(): encodes an RFC2425 date-time
-
Icalendar#encode(): encodes an Icalendar
-
Icalendar#push(): pushes a calendar component onto a calendar
-
Vevent#accept(): accepts an event invitation
-
Vevent#create(): creates a new event
-
Address#copy(): create a copy of Address. If the original Address was frozen,
this one won't be.
-
Address#partstat=(): set or change the PARTSTAT.
-
Field#copy(): create a copy of Field. If the original Field was frozen, this
one won't be.
0.8 - 2004-04-01
-
Moved DirectoryInfo::Field into it's own file, vpim/field.rb.
-
New: Vpim::Duration - crude way of getting days/hours/mins/secs from a
duration in seconds.
-
New: Icalendar#create() and Icalendar#create_reply()
-
New: Icalendar#encode(), to_s is an alias to encode.
-
New: Icalendar#protocol?()
-
Change: Icalendar#version() raises an error if there is no VERSION
-
Change: made all the DirectoryInfo, Vcard, and Field .new() class methods
private, and replaced with the 2 class methods:
- decode() decodes a string, returning a ruby object - create() creates a new object
and all objects now get encoded using:
- encode() takes a ruby object, and encodes it as a string
They become more symetrical, and the overloaded meanings of .new() dissappear - with .new() are you decoding, encoding, creating…?
-
Change: Icalendar::Vevent#attendees() can return only attendees
with a particular URI.
-
New: Icalendar::Address#==()
-
New: Icalendar::Vevent#attendee?()
-
Fixed bug: Field#encode() was adding an unexpecte NL to the line.
-
Change: Field#name?() can accept a symbol.
-
New: DirectoryInfo has an each(), so I included Enumerable. Because of this
to_a() now returns all the Fields in a DirectoryInfo.
-
New: DirectoryInfo#push() and DirectoryInfo().
-
Change: DirectoryInfo#<<() is now an alias for DirectoryInfo#push()
-
Change: DirectoryInfo#each() and DirectoryInfo#each_by() now return self
instead of nil, I think this is more rubyish.
-
New: Date#to_time() - converts a Date, and maybe a DateTime, to a Time
-
New: Icalendar#protocol()
-
New: Icalendar::Address
-
New: Icalendar::Vevent#organizer()/attendees(), which return an
Icalendar::Address
-
New: An array of all the values of fields named name, converted to text,
using Field.to_text().
0.7 - 2004-03-21
-
Bug fixes, not all files were requiring vpim.rb, which had the definition of
the invalid encoding error.
-
Implemented much requested feature: ignore empty lines in input. This is an
invalid encoding, but I'm tired of fighting it.
0.6 - 2004-03-20
WARNING: major API renamings!
-
Replaced the Vpim::Errors::*Error exception classes with a single exception
class: Vpim::InvalidEncodingError. That, and a message, is all I really need. I don't think people need different classes for different types of encoding errors, either the library can decode it for them, or it can't.
-
Renamed project to “vpim” (to reflect vCard and vCalendar/iCalendar support),
renamed top-level Rfc2425 module to Vpim, split vard.rb into multiple files.
-
Add support for iCalendar (RFC2445), see vpim/icalendar.rb. Currently only
supports VEVENT, no VTODO or VALARM yet, but is useable to print my upcoming iCal events.
-
Implemented the iCalendar recurrence rules mini-language, which is possibly
of more general use than just for iCalendar.
-
Fixed bug in time decoding where usec would be nil instead of zero when no
usec were present in the time value.
-
Field#to_time now assumes that time is in local time, unless the timezone is
“Z”, meaning UTC.
-
Field#to_text - new method, unescapes newlines, commas, and escape
characters.
-
Field#field(name) - new method, returns the first field named
name
.
0.5 - 3003-11-23
-
ab-query.rb - short option for –me was mistyped as -v, instead of -m.
-
mutt_ab_query.rb - added a –pipe option, so that the output of an other
script can be directly queried.
-
New method: Rfc2425.version
-
Decode vCard 2.1 abbreviated parameters (ones where the name of the parameter
is missing, only the value is present, which only works for type and encoding).
-
Vcard.decode() now support UCS-2 encoded vCards, by translating anything that
looks like UCS-2 to UTF-8 before decoding.
0.4 - 2003-04-14
-
More support for decoding date, time, and date-time values.
-
New method Field#to_time().
-
Can pass an IO object to decode APIs, its entire contents is read as a
string.
-
Field#group?() now considers nil as equivalent to no group, so you can use
each_group(nil) to iterate through all fields without a group.
0.3 -
-
Added description of how to use mutt_ab_query.rb
-
Added support for querying the kind of a value, and began support for
decoding date and time values.
0.2 -
-
Supports encoding.
-
Supports accessing values using [].
-
No longer have methods return an Array, or nil if the array is zero length, I
just return an Array.
-
mutt_ab_query.rb - an example of using vcard.rb to do lookups in the OS X
Address Book from Mutt
0.1 -
-
First release.
