We are pleased to announce a beta of CalendarKit 2.0! The major new feature in this release is support for Outlook calendars under Microsoft Windows. Without any code changes, existing REALbasic applications using CalendarKit are now able to manipulate calendars on both Mac OS X 10.5 “Leopard” and Microsoft Windows.

The only known issue is that notifications of external changes to calendars are not yet working. We will address this in an update in the near future.

Kyle, TX: CalendarKit provides an API for REALbasic-made applications to interact with a user’s calendars by providing fast, native integration with calendar software. It currently integrates with iCal 3 on Mac OS X 10.5 “Leopard,” and is the only supported way of manipulating .ics calendars on the new operating system.
