Jan 24, 2011 v8.1.0

• Added the ability to specify an exact date and time for when a popup reminder or desktop alert should appear. The specified time can be before or after the event starting time.
  Added the ability to open calendars in VueMinder by clicking webcal links in a web browser.
  Added Previous and Next buttons to the bottom of the Details pane, for navigating between displayed events.
  Improved the menu bar at the top of the Event Editor window. The button text is now larger, making it more intuitive where to click in order to save changes.
  Improved the print header to show the previous month as well as the next month.
  Improved event blocks in the Day and Week views to show more text in smaller blocks by removing the blank space between event titles and locations.
  Improved the drop-down list of event starting times to include additional values, like 45 minutes. Any value can be typed into the field using the keyboard, but selecting from the drop-down list can be faster.
  Improved the Calendar Properties window to disable tabs instead of hiding them. Hovering the mouse over a tab will present a tooltip explaining why the tab is disabled. For example, when a calendar is synced with Google Calendar, the Subscribe and tab will be disabled and a reason shown.
  Improved opening of events belonging to recurring series. Hold the Alt key while double-clicking an event to open just that occurrence. The window asking to open the occurrence or series will not be shown.
  Corrected stability problems and other odd behavior. If you`ve noticed events disappearing, reminders not being processed, events not opening, red X`s in the Month view, or other strange behavior, this version should fix it.
  Corrected exiting of the program, where it would sometimes crash or hang and need to be killed via the Task Manager.
  Corrected problems with reminders sometimes disappearing from the popup reminder window.
  Corrected the color of desktop alerts for recurring events, when the mouse is moved over the desktop alert. Previously, the desktop alert background and text colors would be lost, making the reminder text impossible to see.
  Corrected the opening of events from the popup reminder window or desktop alert. Sometimes, the event would indicate it belongs to an unassigned calendar and any changes would not be saved.
  Corrected handling of reminders for events that belong to calendars that sync with Google Calendar. The reminders would sometimes disappear from the popup reminder window, without snooze or dismiss being commanded.
  Corrected sync problems when an event is reassigned from one calendar to another from within Google Calendar.
  Corrected creation of all-day events that span multiple days. Sometimes, the created event would only appear on the first date instead of the specified range of dates.
  Corrected the drop-down category list in the Event Editor to not show categories that have been removed.
  Corrected the Details pane. It was showing HTML code in some cases.
  Corrected sorting of rows in the Recent Reminders window. When sorting by the Start/Due column, the rows will now be sorted in chronological order instead of alphabetically.
  Corrected the event count reported when hovering the mouse over a calendar name to match the value reported in the status bar. The values would sometimes be different in calendars that sync with Google Calendar.
  Corrected the text displayed when hovering over a date in the Navigation Pane, to not indicate previously deleted events are hidden.
  Other minor corrections.
