[emacs-wiki-discuss] Planner 3.31: planner-gnats, planner-ical, and tons of bugfixes!

[Sacha Chua]

Hello, everyone!

I'm really, really grateful to the awesome Planner community for bug
reports, patches, and feature requests! After a couple of relatively
quiet weeks on the bugfixing front (no major complaints and a few
"Yup, I want that patch in stable" messages), I feel confident enough
about the current development version to release it as stable.

The new release includes more than 70 patches from the development
tree and lots more from merged trees. Major highlights: Jeremy
Cowgar's planner-gnats for interfacing with a bugtracking system, and
Chris Parson's planner-ical for exporting tasks in the popular iCal
format. We also ironed out a lot of the bugs thanks to your feedback
and patches!

New stable versions are available at
http://sacha.free.net.ph/notebook/emacs/sacha-stable.tar.gz or
http://sacha.free.net.ph/notebook/emacs/sacha-stable.zip . Debian
users who have http://sacha.free.net.ph/notebook/emacs/planner/ in
their sources.list can update or install from there, too, and it will
probably be uploaded to the main repository soon. Have fun!

As usual, backup your current version and your data juuuust in case,
and check the NOTEWORTHY stuff for things that might need
configuration changes.

Thank you so much, everyone! You totally rock!

Sacha
