New version 0.55a of Vaisnava Reminder is ready for use.
Check it at the http://vreminder.gauranga.in .

Here you may see what changed:

* Added multi-language support. Now you Vaisnava Reminder can be customized to display everything in your native language (or dialect). So far I have prepared Russian language file, and most probably Spanish version will be also available soon. Advanced users may try to make their own language files, if you need any instructions on this matter please contact me.

* Added the descriptions of Vaisnava events and Ekadasis. Double- click now on the record at Events page and it will show you small description of event. Note that double-clicking on your custom events still opens the edit window. You may also check description of event when appropriate alert comes. Click on "more details" at the bottom and you're getting the same description.

* Corrected calendar calculations. As you may know Vaisnava Calendar 4.01 has several bugs and mistakes as http://vcal.iskcongbc.org/ (VCAL GBC page) says. My program was made on the same principles which I could derive from Markandeya Rishi Prabhu material so several minor mistakes were repeated which are now corrected. Specifically, ksaya tithi observance changed on the solar day which has its sunrise just after that tithi ends (vriddhi tithi worked fine); changed occurance of Gundica Marjana and Ganga Sagara Mela (festival of Jagannatha Misra was shown correctly); corrected occurance of Radhastami; also fixed small bug which cause VR to fail during Govardhana Puja.

* Fixed bugs which showned incorrect Var in panchang and Weekday at Diary page. Also I fixed a number of minor bugs that didn't influence on showing correct data. Performed some code optimization for less disk usage. Now if your Window get crushed and explorer is respawning, VR keeps going and doesn't crash.

* Added a pick-date popup mini-calendar on To-do and Events record editor. Should be fairly easy to use. Also, in the Calendar page you see the Gregorian date which is currently selected.

* In Export function added a pick-date for setting beginning and ending of the export range. For more easy customization of export.

Thanks for your blessings and advices dear devotees, that you gifted me. It helped me a lot to keep going. Unfortunately I can't fulfill all desires like adding skins, musical support etc. First reason it's not always looks practical, and second I really have not much time for that. As an observation, I have received not a single penny in donations       for project. That doesn't change my attitude to keep it free and see it as a service to devotees, but it's a bit disappointing and makes me think that my software is not of much value. Also it pushes me to focus more on current job and education. Maybe I'll get one day another job which would allow me more time and less thinking about money. But currently I'm working at least 10 hours per day, 6 day per week to earn just around 200 dollars per month and this is main source of our family budget - my wife takes care of kids and house. So please forgive me that I can't afford a domain in commercial web-zone and can't purchase a Pocket PC phone to make ports for that or other platform.
