DayPilot News Blog

A few days ago, I’ve released DayPilot 3.0. Since this release I’m switching to a different licensing model: In addition to the current open-source versions (2.0 and 2.1), there will be a commercial version available. This commercial version (DayPilot 3.0 and further) will move forward quickly and should soon meet most of the user requests I’ve received.

The major reason for this step is that I would like to move DayPilot forward. As you could see, there were just minor improvements to the open-source DayPilot in the past months. The control would deserve a lot of new features but it’s simply not possible to finance it from the donations.

What’s going to happen?

The commercial version (DayPilot 3.0+) will include source code and all updates and upgrades for one year. The initial version (3.0) contains a first set of advanced features (scrolling, multiple resources, configurable number of cells per hour). It’s not a revolution yet. More new features are to come during the following month (drag&drop support for moving and resizing, inline editing, better client-side scripting support, etc.). I will publish a roadmap in a few days so you will know what you get if you buy DayPilot 3.0 now (you are going to get all these new features for free).

The open-source versions will still be available. I would like to add bugfixes and selected features (there will be a schedule for these as well) but it will never be as feature-rich as DayPilot 3.0.

If you are interested in beta-testing DayPilot 3.0 or if there are features you would like to have in DayPilot 3.0 just contact me at daypilot @ annpoint.com.
