We are pleased to announce Chandler 0.5. This release of Chandler focuses on building out some of the core calendaring functionality for supporting basic individual and collaborative calendaring tasks.

In 0.5, you should be able to:
* Create, edit and delete calendar events.
* Navigate around the calendar in the near and distant future through the calendar summary and mini-calendar views.
* Review past and upcoming events in daily and weekly granularity.
* Collaborate on a shared individual calendar, allowing multiple authors to read, create and edit events on the shared calendar.
* Experimentally import/export iCalendar files.

In addition, the 0.5 Release provides:
* Initial support for extending chandler: early adopters can experiment with building form based parcels.
* Improvements in performance and reliability.
* Email attachment infrastructure.
* New improved sharing architecture.
* Incremental visual improvements.
