The next major release of Zap Calendar, version 3.1, is now out in beta.  This version provides several new features and add-ons.  One new feature included is the ability to display a monthly or weekly calendar display in list mode in addition to grid mode.  New plugins include an e-mail reminder plugin (all versions), which automatically sends e-mail reminders to event owners prior to their event, and gravatar (Pro version), which utilizes a user's avatar uploaded to gravatar.com and displays it (used with event owner field and with the comment and RSVP plugins included in the Pro version).

This is the last version of Zap Calendar that will support Joomla 1.5 . Zap Calendar version 4 will be available this summer, which will include support for Joomla 3.0.
