The Horde Team is pleased to announce the first alpha release of the Kronolith
Calendar Application version H4 (3.0).

Kronolith is the Horde calendar application. It provides web-based calendars
backed by a SQL database or a Kolab server. Supported features include  
Ajax and
mobile interfaces, shared calendars, remote calendars, invitation management
(iCalendar/iTip), free/busy management, resource management, alarms, recurring
events, and a sophisticated day/week view which handles arbitrary numbers of
overlapping events.

IMPORTANT! This is a preview version that should not be used on production
systems. This version is considered feature complete but there are  
likely to be
bugs. You should not use this preview version with existing production
data. Migration of data from earlier versions has not been fully  
tested yet and
is not supported.

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

To install Kronolith, you need to install Horde first. See
https://github.com/horde/horde/blob/master/horde/docs/INSTALL for  
details. Once
Horde is installed, you can install Kronolith with the following command:

   pear install horde/kronolith-alpha

Then log in to Horde with your adminstrator account to configure the
application and install the database schema from the configuration interface.

The major changes compared to the Kronolith version H3 (2.3) are:

     * Updated for Horde 4
     * New AJAX frontend with integrated tasks support
     * New mobile frontend
     * Resource scheduling

     * Calendar and event tagging
