Chandler 1.0.3
April 15th, 2009 by Grant BaillieA new Chandler Desktop release, version 1.0.3, is now available.
Highlights include better support for Google’s CalDAV server,
the addition of a menu for choosing the calendar’s first day of the week
and, lastly, we’ve built .deb packages — for both 32-bit
and 64-bit processors — for Ubuntu 8.04 (“Hardy”) and
8.10 “Intrepid”).
Here is the full list of bugs fixed in 1.0.3:
- 11038 Feature request: a UI affordance for selecting the starting day of the week
- 12228 Get Mac native spell checker working again
- 12253 Sy&nc Mana&ger… (note two ampersands) in menus.py:223
- 12274 Deprecated libiuc36 dependency
- 12278 Support Google’s CalDAV implementation
- 12328 make all binaries in internal fails with: NameError: global name ‘log’ is not defined
- 12472 ValueError: too many values to unpack (selected message has angle brackets within the name as well as the SMTP address)
- 12484 Won’t start (Mandriva and possibly other Linuxes)
You can download the app here,
or by using the “Check for Updates” feature in Chandler.

Hallo!
Thanks for the new release but Windows version fails at me (integrity check).
Downloaded file is much smaller than v.1.0.2 so could someone doublecheck it pls ?
Cheers!

Dear Chandler,
I am using 1.0.2 on Mac OS X 1.4.
It is too easy to place an event or note into the wrong collection and/or calendar.
Apple’s iCal had the same problems.
I have not seen these issues discussed in my brief searches.
I am responding now because I do not see it discussed in the new features.
There are also a number of weird problems, which I don’t have time to
reconstruct, in erroneous selection of collections and the inadvertent creation of
collections and/or objects within them (notes or events).
I am sure that others have experienced this.
I have switched to rememberthemilk.com, because of these problems, but
I would rather have my data local.

Just a note to say that in my version, (1.0.2 on kubuntu), the “check for updates” tells me my Chandler is up to date

Hoping this will fix the “error 400 bad request” I’m getting when trying to sync.

Just a note to say the installer for the 1.0.3 windows release doesn’t run on windows XP SP3 : NSIS Error : integrity check has failed. (installer downloaded from the chandler homepage with Chrome, Firefox, Opera and IE7: same result)

Version 1.0.3 for Windows installer fails integrity check on my computer. I downloaded it twice. Windows XP SP3.

mato, sioac, Richard: The .exe does appear to have been truncated, so I’m re-uploading it: Thanks for pointing this out!

notafish: What version to you currently have on your system?

Windows download should now be OK (you should get the full 35MB, rather than the 24MB that was there before).

I really like working with Chandler, but I badly miss an easy way to delete past events (or all events before a given date). My database gets bigger and bigger, the app gets slower and slower, and deleting every single item separately is not a viable choice, either.

Downloaded and installed successfully. Thanks !

Works well for me on the Mac. Thanks!

Just after posting my last comment I realized how stupid it was. Of course I can select and delete them in list view. I didn’t get it ’cause I’m in calendar view all the time. Sorry for dumbness.

I can confirm that Windows version installs correctly now. Thanks.
Well, I’d like to keep my old events for possible reference. It might be useful if they could be moved to a special collection and then Chandler would not display them in lists/calendars nor use them in any way and thus they would not slow Chandler down.
What do you think ? Is it viable ?
PS: Thanks for that first day of week, it really helps here!

Yeah, the windows version seems to work fine for me.

Hello,
I installed 1.0.3 just fine on Windows but I could not run Chandler under Ubuntu 9.04. Any suggestions?

Denny: I’m not sure what’s wrong with Jaunty. Feel free to update the bug that is tracking this.

And the Portuguese translation for when?

I can confirm that Chandler is not working on Ubuntu 9.04 64bit… that’s a shame, i wanted to try it!
