Today

Today is an application to list events that have taken place (or will take place) on a given date. It contains a database of information, to which additional dates and personal anniversaries can be added.

The application was originally written by James Miskin, and the 32-bit update has been carried out by myself. Bug reports should now be directed to me, using the contact details in the download archive.

Test Build

Following some prods at recent RISC OS events, I’ve tracked Today’s source code down, dusted it off, made it build again and added a couple of new features.

Given the time that has passed and the changes to the build system, this new version is currently being made available as a test release. If no issues are reported, it can become a full new release at some point in the future.
