Candidate builds for Lightning 1.0 beta2 in 32 languages are available as of now for:

• Windows
• Linux (32 bit)
• Linux (64 bit, contributed build)
• Mac OS X

A corresponding build of the Provider for Google Calendar is also available at those locations.

The candidate builds will be available for testing for up to 2 weeks. We want to release the final Lightning 1.0b2 together with Thunderbird 3.1, so we may choose to shorten this period by a few days

VueSoft has announced the release of VueMinder Calendar Pro 6.0.0, expanding its already impressive list of features by adding full 2-wayGoogle Calendar sync. Google Calendars can be easily added with just a few clicks, and any changes made while offline will automatically sync.

When combined with VueMinder Calendar’s other features, this allows a user to perform many tasks that, until now, were difficult to perform or required several programs. For example, an Excel spreadsheet of event information can be quickly imported into VueMinder Calendar and automatically synced with Google Calendar. The reverse can also be done, taking your Google Calendar events and exporting them to Excel through VueMinder Calendar’s easy-to-use interface.

For those people wanting to keep Microsoft Outlook and Google Calendar in sync, but require automatic and instantaneous syncing, instead of the minimum 10 minute interval of the Google Calendar Sync tool, VueMinder Calendar Pro is the answer. It allows the same calendar to be synced simultaneously with both Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook, whenever a change is detected. It all happens quickly and quietly in the background.

And, for people frustrated with the limited number of options available when printing from Google Calendar, VueMinder Calendar Pro adds a huge variety of print layouts and settings, as well as a print preview window that dynamically updates as the various print layout settings are adjusted.

The latest release of VueMinder Calendar Pro also provides a number of other innovative improvements, such as “desktop alert” reminders color-coded to match the associated event. These can now be pinned to any location on the screen. It’s sort of a mash up of sticky notes and reminders, and is seriously cool.

VueMinder Calendar Pro is offered as a free 30-day trial and can be downloaded or purchased online at http://www.vueminder.com. A scaled down version, VueMinder Calendar Lite, is completely free for both personal and business use.

Via CalendarSwamp I came across this Microsoft announcement . MS will open up it’s .pst file format. If you ever dug into your system file looking for the place where Outlook stores your email, contact and calendar you must have seen this .pst file format. Only Outlook understands it so you can’t use it for exporting anything. Sometimes that can be a pain. Apparently as of Office 2010 wil open up this fileformat allowing developers to read, create, and interoperate with the data in .pst files in server and client scenarios using the programming language and platform of their choice.

This is a breakthrough lot’s of people have been waiting for: Google launched a plug-in that enables Outlook and Google apps to sync calendar, email and contacts. The major pity is that is only available for Google Apps Premier and Education customers.

Now businesses can run Microsoft Outlook on Google Apps instead of Microsoft Exchange, so they can achieve the cost savings, security and reliability of Google Apps while employees use the interface they prefer for email, contacts and calendar.
