Snapshot

calcurse-20100323.tar.gz

What is the snapshot package?

Between formal releases of calcurse, snapshots are made available which contain the code as found in the CVS at the date the snapshot was created.
The name of the snapshot package is of the form: calcurse-YYYYMMDD.tar.gz, where YYYYMMDD is the date when the snapshot was built.

There is no promise that the snapshot is completely functional, or even install. On the other hand, a snasphot may contain bug fixes that address issues you faced with an official release. You can look at the changelog to see if a problem you encountered was solved between the formal release you are using and the available snapshot.

Before downloading and installing a snapshot release, be aware of the following:

• A snapshot is primarily for testing purposes.
• A snapshot may include experimental or degraded features that can corrupt your existing data, so you are advised to backup your existing data before installing a snaphsot.
• The documentation contained in a snapshot may not be up-to-date.
