Zap Calendar has released its first language file for Zap Calendar 4.  The Dutch language file is available for both the front-end and back-end of Zap Calendar, and can be downloaded from the subscription page.

We are working on other translations, but we need your help.  To help with a translation, go to the Zap Calendar page at transifex.com and sign up to be a translator.  Translators can receive additional time to their Zap Calendar subscription for their efforts.

Should old acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind?

Just as in the song, "Auld Lang Syne", our old friend Joomla! 2.5 retired at the end of 2014 with the final release 2.5.28.  Our old friend has been replaced with a new friend, Joomla! version 3.  Since this is the last expected release for Joomla! 2.5, current 2.5 sites should be migrated as soon as possible to Joomla! 3.x to avoid potential security issues in the future.  If you are using Zap Calendar with a Joomla! 2.5 site, read this article on methods on migrating your Zap Calendar data to Joomla! 3.x.

Zap Calendar 4 was developed for Joomla version 3.x exclusively and has been available for over 1 year.  Nearly all of the 30+ add-ons that were available in Zap Calendar 3 are available in Zap Calendar 4, including a few new ones.  This new version has incorporated many of the new features introduced in Joomla! 3.x, including GUI improvements utilizing jQuery, Bootstrap and icoMoon fonts.

If you need to upgrade Zap Calendar and your subscription has expired, don't worry.  You can renew your subscription at the renewal price by logging into your account at ZContent.net and clicking the renew or upgrade buttons on your subscription page.
