Version 1.0.4.2
Changes
Improvement: BirthdayReminder now links you to other services if you want to send flowers, gift certificates or gifts.
Improvement: It is now possible to customize the event's title when synchronizing with Lightning
Improvement: Lightning's alarm functionality can now be used.
Improvement: Lightning Synchronization can now be started from the menu.
Improvement: It can be configured, if a the birthday list window shows when no birthday is present.
Improvement: It can be configured, which calendar for Lightning synchronization is to be used. Hint: you need to delete existing calendar entries in order to get an effect.
Improvement: About-dialog now shows current information from www.mybirthdayreminder.org
Bugfix: Reminder eMail now shows date of next birthday, not the date of birth
Bugfix: UTF-8 encoding used for IFrame, using correct functions to get file URL
Known issues
Syncing with Google Calendar results in duplicate entries. This behaviour is a result of the Google Calendar implementation: Google Calendar changes the IDs of the created events. Because of this, BirthdayReminder does not find the previously created event for the birthday and creates a new event. There will be no changes in Birthday Reminder because of this. Please report this problem to the Google Calendar Team if you would like to have it fixed.
Birthday Reminder seems to hang when syncing a calender hosted in a WebDAV-Folder via https on gmx.de
