KonOpas 0.8.0

[Eemeli Aro]

New version, available here.

Apologies, I've not done an e-mail anouncement about the 0.6.x and 0.7.x updates, but here's a summary of the largest changes since 0.6.0:

Less configuration needed

KonOpas now auto-configures the programme filters and the participant list paging based on your data. To customize the display, there are new options included in konopas_set.

Simpler interface

The day and name range selections are now sub-menus rather than filter options, and the "Next" view has been replaced by automatic hiding of past items during the con (was the "Now" filter option in 0.7). See here for an example.

Multi-lingual interface

You can compile multiple languages into a single package, so you can easily switch between interface languages, like this.

There are plenty of other updates and bugfixes as well, as documented in the changelog. In the past few months, KonOpas has been successfully used by a number of conventions, including Detcon (this year's NASFiC) and Loncon (this year's Worldcon), so it's gone through a decent amount of stress-testing, happily without notable failures. :)
