PlaceCal v0.23.0 is released
by Rosie Ferrier 29 Apr '24

Hi All, This sprint our main focus has been improving the calendar importer and how we display events. - We’ve updated the UI to make it easier to understand what is happening - We’ve changed the behaviour so that any event that can be imported, is imported. This means that events with no addresses or broken addresses can now be imported and will appear in your events calendar. - Giving partners more control over which events are assigned to them. Partners will now by default not have events assigned to them by other calendars, but can opt in to connect to events if desired. - Events that have URLs will now appear as online events with a link - We’ve started recording the date source data changes from calendars we import so organisers can spot if calendars are no longer actively maintained. You can read more here about how this will work. <https://handbook.placecal.org/admin-handbook/how-to-add-a-calendar-to-place…> We’ve also made lots of other small changes, including: - Updating our privacy policy to properly reflect how we process and store data, in line with GDPR - Some improvements to the instance UIs, like defaulting to showing all events or weekly events on sites with fewer events, and improving the homepage for place based sites by tweaking the banner. You can find the full list of changes over here on github: <https://github.com/geeksforsocialchange/PlaceCal/releases/tag/v0.20.0> https://github.com/geeksforsocialchange/PlaceCal/releases/tag/v0.23.0 Alfie, Ivan & Rosie -- *Rosie Ferrier* (she/her) Developer Geeks For Social Change https://gfsc.studio If anything about this email is confusing or unclear please let me know.
