A 2.2 alpha version has been released - improved timezone and recurrence handling, plus some nice detail features (links, html in text, etc), as well as todo, freebusy and journal components - an interim step to satisfy some requests prior to the full update.

Features and Updates
- Removes duplicated events that may be generated by your ical generator. For example if one instance of a recurring event is edited. Implementing the recurring rule generates an event instance that matches another event in the file. They will have the same UID and date, but a different Sequence ID.
- Improved the timezone and date handling uses PHP 5 dateTime class and timezone object functionality. Somewhat tested - again good test situations are required - around daylightsaving time is really interesting.
- Column headings not in use yet (but enterable) - need to convert to table output - coming soon I hope.
- Calendar Subscribe link available if ‘icsurl’ requested in the settings for a list type.
- Can test by passing iCal=url:listtype=n in the query string of any wordpress page - the page content will be ignored.
- Css changed slightly - more testing required for impact on different themes.
- Removed the </p> added to make wp validate - not required anymore in latest version of wordpress ?
- Allows for other ical components such as todo lists, journals and freebusy (maybe for use as availability!) - this has been slightly tested, not up to my usual standard. Good test files are required. If you have a need for this and think there is an error, please send me your files or links to your public files. It uses the same logic as the event, so differences may just be a question of layout and style.
- Improved conversion of urls to hyperlinks in long text fields like description - will now handle all sorts of links including bookmarks. I had a bit of fun (not) dealing with <br> after urls!
- Changed some defaults - simplified - commented out some that are unlikley to be used.
- Allows for repeatable properties - in theory one could have multiple summary fields for one event etc.
Still to do:
- implement more complex recurring rules,
- more thorough testing,
- some user documentation and ideas,
- simplify the css.
The plugin has been tested on wordpress 2.6.3 using php5 on a windows and Linux server.
