As part of the soon-to-be-released GNOME 3.24 Beta version, due later today or until the end of the week, the GNOME Calendar applications received its first development release.
We’ve already told you that the GNOME developers are working hard these days to give us the first Beta preview of the upcoming GNOME 3.24 desktop environment, due for release on March 22, and we recommend reading our in-depth stories about what’s coming new in Nautilus (Files), GTK+ 4, and GNOME Software components.
In the meantime, we’d like to enlighten your day by telling you that the GNOME Calendar app also got a new Beta version, the first for this development cycle, and it now ships with the long-anticipated Week view. Additionally, GNOME Calendar 3.24 Beta improves the Year view to always be in sync with the Month one.
The search popover also received some improvements, and it looks like GNOME Calendar prepares to be distributed as a Flatpak universal binary across all GNU/Linux distributions that support the new sandboxing standard. Moreover, the focus tracking was improved for the Quick Add popover.
A couple of bugs were also addressed, making it possible to check if the Edit dialog is editing new events or not and to make sure the circle is aligned with the subtitle. The Catalan, Basque, and Brazilian Portuguese language translations have been updated, too.
If you want to get an early taste of the goodies implemented so far in the upcoming major release of the GNOME Calendar, you can download the GNOME Calendar 3.24 Beta (technical version number is 3.23.90) source tarball right now from our website. Please note that this is a pre-release version, not suitable for deployment in production PCs.
