Today 2.1 Adds BusyCal Support

Second Gear has announced the immediate availability of Today 2.1, the latest version of its popular calendaring application Today. Today makes it easy to get a one day snapshot view of your upcoming events and tasks in a compact window. No iCal required.

Version 2.1 adds support for BusyCal, the popular third-party calendaring and collaboration app from BusyMac. Users with BusyCal set as their default calendaring application will now be able to see, create and open events from their BusyCal calendars. Today 2.1 was also backported to run on Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. A full changelog is available on the Today Web site.

What's new in Today 2.1:
* Added support for opening events and tasks externally in BusyCal
* Added support for Mac OS X 10.5 / Leopard
* Darker events should be more legible now
* Pressing enter in the notes field on a new event or task no longer creates the event or task
* Resolved issue where new event and task windows wouldn't pop to the top
* Resolved issue where registration fields were editable after licensing
* Resolved some unsightly default layout issues in a few windows
* Updated the localization of each xib to hopefully have a nicer layout

* Added x-today2-reg:// URL scheme for handling registrations
* Added newsletter signup prompt
