v18.8 [Dec 19, 2015]
Enlarged Views Following a suggestion from a user, the method for displaying enlarged views of text output has been totally redesigned. Now an enlarged view will occupy as much screen "vertical real estate" as possible. For example, on modern screens with diagonal lengths greater than 15.6 inches, a full year calendar should now be completely visible. The F11 function key continues to be used for toggling between enlarged and normal views. Reminders When Calendar Magic is started up, different short sounds are now used to indicate if there is a reminder set for the current date and, if not, if there is one occurring within the next 7 days. For the former, a short sound is played twice; for the latter, the short sound is played once only. This feature has been added primarily for the benefit of blind and visually impaired users. Special Calendars Added an option “Swedish and Finnish Calendars for 1700 to 1712” to display the calendars used in Sweden (Finland was part of Sweden at that time) during this period. Remarkably the calendar for 1712 contains 30 days in February. Factor Calculator Any unacceptably long factorisation may now be terminated by the Ctrl T keyboard key combination rather than having to use the Task Manager to end the process yafu.exe. Time Zones Updated the time zone information for North Korea. On August 15, 2015 it changed from UTC 9 hours to UTC 8.5 hours. Winter Olympics Added data for the Beijing Winter Olympics in 2022. World-wide Locations Database At the request of a user, added Gassa Chare, Ethiopia to Calendar Magic’s database of world-wide locations. Observed Days Added Black Friday (4th Friday in November) to the list of Observed Days under “various”. Translations Translated versions of the list of Calendar Magic’s main features are now available in Belarussian, Italian, Polish, Spanish and Thai.
