DayPilot Pro 3.8 beta was just released. Because I'm out of office from June 27 to July 7 I've decided to release a beta version instead of a regular release. That means that DayPilot Pro 3.7 is still the main download and that there are a few minor bugs in 3.8 that I wasn't able to fix yet.

Here is the list of new features in 3.8 (already included in the beta):

• Reduced footprint. HTML code was optimized a loading time generally shortened. For example, HTML code for vertical month view was reduced from almost 500 kB to 50 kB.
• Event selecting. Event selecting is now one of the possible handling of event clicking. It can be processed on the client-side and on the server-side, as usual.
• StartDate switching (AJAX). The visible date can be changed using a simple JavaScript call.
• Real event length. You can decide to render events according to their real start and end (i.e. no boxes aligned with the time cells).
  
• Safari 2 supported. Now you can support your Safari users.

I recommend reading the nice illustrated 3.8 release notes for more details on the new features.
