Ics-blog (beta) has been released into the open through its project site samoht.se and SourceForge.net. Current running installations of Ics-blog are the weblog and the ics-blog project web site. Both share the same program installation and only point to different iCalendar files.

• Ics-Blog 0.16 adds support for multi-line urls in the ics files
• Ics-Blog 0.15 redefines the cascading style sheets in order to become more generic and easy to adapt, as well as improving the interfaces and ics file parsing
• Ics-Blog 0.14 adds support for showing a subset of the available calendar entries and browsing between them
• Ics-Blog 0.13 improves the ics parsing for Gnome Evolution iCalendar files
• Ics-Blog 0.12 introduces a more robust parse engine for ics files.
• Ics-Blog 0.11 changed the base component used in ics files from VJOURNAL to VEVENT to allow support for more calendar files.
• Ics-Blog 0.10 was the first release of ics-blog.

Turn your calendar into a blog!

The purpose of ics-blog is to release a simple blog management system that does not rely on an external data base. This to allow for users to set up a blog on a bare web server with only PHP support.

Non-formal. Shown here to give an idea of the basic requirements of the program. I see no point to formalize them into single statement requirements at this time.

1. The program shall support "most" web server configurations without any adaptions, i.e. it shall be written in a standard programming language that exist on most web servers. Project decision: PHP
2. Installation and configuration must be simple (must take less than 15 minutes). The configuration settings shall be stored in one single PHP class.
3. Integration of ics-blog to a web site must be possible to do with maximum 5 PHP class and or function calls from an external index file.
4. It shall be simple to edit and add entries to the blog. Project decision: Use iCalendar files for data storage. They can be created and edited with almost any calendar program.
