Changes in version 3.0
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
API Change
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
Since version we unified to icalendar de/serialization API to use only to_ical
|
|
(for writing an ical string from the internal representation) and from_ical
|
|
(for parsing an ical string into the internal representation).
|
|
|
|
to_ical is now used instead of the methods ical, string, as_string and instead
|
|
of string casting via __str__ and str.
|
|
|
|
from_ical is now used instead of from_string.
|
|
|
|
This change is a requirement for future Python 3 compatibility. Please update
|
|
your code to reflect to the new API.
|
|
|
|
Timezone support
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
Timezones are now fully supported in icalendar for serialization and
|
|
deserialization. We use the pytz library for timezone components of datetime
|
|
instances. The timezone identifiers must be valid pytz respectively Olson
|
|
database timezone identifiers. This can be a problem for 'GMT' identifiers,
|
|
which are not defined in the Olson database.
|
|
|
|
Instead of the own UTC tzinfo implementation we use pytz UTC tzinfo object now.

About this fork which is not a fork anymore
|
|
===========================================
|
|
|
|
Aim of this fork (not fork anymore, read further) was to bring this package up
|
|
to date with latest icalendar `RFC`_ specification as part of
|
|
`plone.app.event`_ project which goal is to bring recurrent evens to `Plone`_.
|
|
|
|
After some thoughts we (Plone developers involved with `plone.app.event`_) send
|
|
a suggestion to icalendar-dev@codespeak.net to take over mainaining of
|
|
`icalendar`_. Nobody object and since version 2.2 we are back to development.
