Just a heads up Linux gamers, our release calendar has been updated. It will no longer spam the entire year out to you when you visit.
Instead, you will now be greeted with the current month which is much more useful, and you're able to select a specific month now too. Previously you could only change the year. As an addition you can now link directly to a month and year on the calendar like so.
There's also now simple < Prev and Next > buttons/links right next to the months name, so you don't have to open the drop-down every time if you find that easier.
Are there any other features you think would make it more useful? Let me know, and if they don't take immense amounts of time and frustration to do, then I might just do them.
As always, I do this because I enjoy it and find it useful myself. Feel free to throw a Paypal tip or sub to our Patreon if you like it too, or don't that's also cool. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Some you may have missed, popular articles from the last month:
The comments on this article are closed.
Would it be possible to add "(best guess)" text after the event name into to .ics file as well, similarly to the website? So e.g. "GOL > Magicka 2" would be "GOL > Magicka 2 (best guess)". Because from the website it's pretty visible what is a certain release and what is just a guess, but from the ics file you can't tell and need to check the website anyway.

This has been added, I've also done some more adjustments to the start and end time for it to validate correctly. Please let me know of any more issues.

Thanks, I now see "(Best Guess)" after Magicka 2, perfect. But I still see two-day events, damn google. I tried deleting and re-adding again, nothing.
Could you please try to add "Z" (denoting UTC timezone) into DTSTART and DTEND? You already use it in LAST-MODIFIED:
In what timezone you live/you have set your google calendar, since you see it correctly?
Regarding the web calendar, it would be great to add "<" and ">" buttons to select previous/next month. It's a bit tiresome to select the next month in the drop-down list and click "Change" every time.

Freaking timezones, added the Z modifier, give it a bit to update and then it should finally be normal for everyone.
I can certainly give it a crack, give me a bit.

Okay, prev and next buttons are done, right beside the month name on the calendar.

Excellent! The calendar is much better now. Thanks, Liam.
PS: Now that you're in site improvement mode, how would you feel about fixing the "Send Private Mesage" typo in user profiles as well? Or have you grown attached to it in the months it's been there? :P

Sorry, I still see it across two days. I also added the ics URL into Evolution and it also displays it across two days. What fixes the problem for me, though, is this syntax:
QuoteDTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20151015
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20151016
This shows as a single full-date event on 20151015.
It is the same syntax we use in a different project exporting .ics files, so I have verified that this renders correctly in both Google Calendar and Evolution.

Not heard any recent news on Rome II or Atilla, hope they're both this year and I hope their Warhammer game releases on Linux :).

Did you guys remember "No Half-Life 3" for every day from now until the end of time?

I finally realized that we were doing a wrong thing the whole time. If we use
DTSTART:20150102T000000Z, we're asking the calendar to show an event which starts exactly at UTC midnight and lasts 24 hours. And that's exactly what it did, I'm central European (UTC+2), so I saw an event from 2 AM to 2 AM next day. It did exactly what was asked. But a full day event is something else than a 24 hour event with precise start and end time. A full day event starts and ends at midnight no matter your timezone. And that's what the second syntax is for: DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20151015.So yeah, it makes perfect sense, we just need to start using the second syntax.
