- Good day all!
As we continue with the development of Calendar Pro for BlackBerry I'm excited to post today a new public beta version of Calendar Pro to version 0.9.2!
Following the successful release of the first public beta version we've moved forward in full speed and implemented with this new public beta version many of the features that were raised by our users here on the forums along with many bug fixes that were reported since the first public beta version was released a few weeks ago. Similar to the first public beta version, this new public beta version is also available as free download to all users - you will find the download links for the new version towards the bottom of my post here.
For those of you who still didn't had a chance to check the first version release of Calendar Pro we invite you to click here to read the first public beta version release post to get more familiar with Calendar Pro.
What's new in Calendar Pro 0.92?
1. Monthly view and Weekly view receives a new preview pane!
With this new version both the Monthly view and the Weekly view now include a new preview pane placed at the bottom of the views, allowing you to easily see what are the events for the currently selected day (on the Monthly view) or the currently highlighted item (for the Weekly view). The new preview pane addition greatly enhances the overall usability of the two views by bringing more real content to the user when using these views. Using the Weekly view without the preview pane as with the previous version didn't provide much information to the user and therefore we are positive that this addition will be really important for users and hope you will enjoy this new addition!
2. Task Remidners
Following a lot of requests for such addition, the new version finally introduce task reminders support! This means you can now also configure reminder values for your tasks easily within Calendar Pro task editors We plan to continue and enhance this direction some more with future upcoming update and would love to hear your input on this section and how things are working here too.
3. Full task category editing capabilities
Using the new version you will now also enjoy complete task category editing capabilities such as adding new categories, editing existing category names and deleting exiting categories from your list of categories
At this stage categories management is only available for tasks due to some technical limitation that we are having, but we are working to see how we can have this added for appointments too with upcoming public beta versions of course
4. And much more!
As with any new version you will find lots of additional improvements and bug fixes! I'm afraid that we don't have a specific list of all of these changes that were implemented with this new latest version, but you should be able to find many of the different various reports fixed with this new version and things working far better! We of course plan to continue working towards this direction with our upcoming updates and continue and develop Calendar Pro to become a robust time management solution for BlackBerry users

I'm not sure what you meant by "different appointments" so I'll appreciate if you could inform me what exactly you are referring to Anyway, the colors (in week view) are according to the "show as" property of the appointment (free/busy/out of office/tentative)03-24-09 09:00 AMLike 0 - I want to love this application... one of the things that I really want in a calendar is how you're doing the weekly view. But on my 8320 with about 14.5 MB free memory the weekly view is soooooo slow that it is unusable. I'd love category (and color) editing for the calendar.03-24-09 09:59 AMLike 0

Calendar Pro sure syncs with Outlook. Did you get it working for you already or do you still need instructions?
Regarding all other issues you mentioned - I'll pass them on to our moderators team right away
Thanks for the feedback!03-26-09 06:30 AMLike 0 - Uninstalled old version and installed the new one and it wont run, gives a "uncaught exception: java.lang.error"03-26-09 07:10 AMLike 0

- i also currently still use winmo but wifey is now on an 8130. se likes the look of my agenda one calendar because it has preview panes and icons set either by category or individually. coming from Palm this was the best compromise from Datebk5.
the benefit is that from the month view i can tell you what i am doing on any day without ever opeing a specific day. just based on the icons visible from the month view.
I would propose that model as near perfect for the BB as well.03-27-09 09:25 AMLike 0 - The previous beta worked good on my 8120. When I installed the latest one, it was slow, very slow. It took anywhere between 5-10 seconds just to open a calendar view. I couldn't take it so had to delete it. The data connection arrows at the top right corner of the screen made it appear as though it was moving data (download/uploading) to run the calendar? It never did that with the last beta version. I have 22MB free so it is not a memory issue. Nothing changed on my phone since the previous version so I have to conclude it is something with the new (latest) beta.

- Hmmm. I just downloaded 0.9.2. This is my first time trying this, so I'm pretty new to it. I have BlackBerry Curve 8330, and I just tried to change my daily view to run from 8 am to 10 pm, and it told me to restart the program. When I did, I got a java error. I'm rebooting, to see if that will fix it. I'm very hopeful, as this looks like a great product!03-28-09 05:33 PMLike 0
