Top 5 #accessibility improvements in #GNOME Calendar 49:
1. Focus indicators were added in various places
2. Events are focusable with a keyboard
3. Year/month spin buttons are navigable with arrow keys
4. Calendar grids are skippable with Tab, and cells are wrapped via keyboard focus
5. Calendar list box now behaves like a check box
For screen readers: events and year/month spin buttons have proper semantics!
Delayed by distinguished guests today, Georges did a shorter #GNOMECalendar "live coding" stream at https://www.youtube.com/live/rbHbEoAFN5Q
This 1-hour session was focused on solving memory leaks found by the CI test suite.
In 60 minutes, Georges investigated & fixed *fifteen* memory leaks while casually chatting with the audience 🤯
Another notable feature merged in the GNOME Calendar live coding session today: the ability to export an entire calendar as an .ics file.
This was originally added to the wishlist 10 years ago: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/issues/31
Thanks to @FineFindus's dedication towards implementing this (alongside the individual event .ics export feature) this year, you will be able to use this feature in #GNOME 50 (or the nightly flatpak version of Calendar today): https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/merge_requests/615

First MR merged in the currently happening GNOME Calendar livestream: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/merge_requests/362
It's already available in the current nightly flatpak version. It is so nice to be able to use the new event quick-add popover, with no extra swirly pages etc. to pick the target calendar. Very efficient! 😌
Thanks to @TheEvilSkeleton for their patience and sisyphean rebasing of that much awaited merge request over the past 2 years 🫡
