[announce] Kronolith H3 (2.0-BETA)

[Jan Schneider]

The Horde Team is proud to announce the first beta release of the Kronolith
Calendar Application version 2.0.

Kronolith is the Horde calendar application. It provides web-based calendars
backed by either a SQL database or the MCAL library. Supported features
include shared calendars, remote calendars, meeting management, alarms,
recurring events, and a sophisticated day/week view which handles arbitrary
numbers of overlapping events.

This is a preview version that should not be used on production systems.  This
version is considered feature complete but there are still a few bugs, some of
which are listed below.  You should not use this preview version over existing
production data.

We encourage widespread testing and feedback via the mailing lists or our bug
tracking system.  Updated translations are very welcome, though some strings
will still change before the final release.

The major changes compared to the Kronolith 2.0-ALPHA version are:
    * Kolab server support.
    * Search capability.
    * Option for default address book to search for Free/Busy-URLs.
    * Black on white print view.
    * Access keys.
    * Most date calculation moved to Horde_Date library.

Known issues:
    * Upgrade instructions and scripts have not been written yet.
