[TYPO3-dev] FYI: new version of date2cal released

[Stefan Galinski]

Hi,

I have released a new major version [1] of date2cal this evening. I hope
someone can test the version with PHP4, because i haven't the possibility
to do that without to compile the stuff myself.

The next step will be 7.1 with a rewritten natural language parser. It
causes several problems like irre incompatibility. Just deactivate the
feature if you want to use the calendar with IRRE.

Changelog:

* code refactoring and reorganizations (that was really necessary ;-)
* better performance by improved design
  (e.g. usage of a singleton approach)
* complete new API
  (breaks compatibility to all extensions which use date2cal
  in their forms!!!; code documentation is available in the doc directory)
* added creation of an own cache file instead of manipulating
  the typo3 configuration cache file (temp_CACHED_***_ext_tables.php)
  (should make several people feel happy :-)
* compatibility of TYPO3 4.2 (Thanks to Stefan Ritter and Benjamin Mack)
* added a complete new t3skin theme (Thanks to Noel Bossart)
* added "secondary options always on" option to the global configuration
* added possibility to overwrite each configuration value
  in the user/group ts configuration
* fixed a problem with IE7 (Thanks to Sebastian Fischer)
* different minor bugfixes

Themes:

Its really easy to add own themes for jscalendar. Just have a look at the
current implementations in res/jscalendar/skins. Everybody who wants to
design a new one can send me the skin.
