Groupcal allows you to use Apple iCal to view and share calendar schedules seamlessly with your coworkers running Outlook and Microsoft Exchange. All with no Exchange Server 2 install.

What's New:
added some new sections to the "Read Before You Install" document
for each calendar, added a most-recent sync-status icon and the date/time of the most-recent successful sync to the sync menus (in both Groupcal and the status "menu extra")
changed the behavior to show networking errors only via the Groupcal program (i.e., not the Groupcal Daemon) — in real time if the Groupcal program is running or when the Groupcal program is next run if it wasn't running when the error occurred
added preferences to set the timeout for both the initial networking connection and for subsequent communications
changed the behavior to avoid trying to sync if the Exchange server is not reachable (e.g., network connection is not available, route is not available, etc.)
for Free/Busy iCal calendars, added the title "Combined Resources" when the "Everyone combined" option is set and there is more than one email address (resource) being checked
fixed a problem that caused some international characters to be shown incorrectly
fixed a cosmetic problem with the display of "People or Resources in Exchange:" in the Free/Busy panel
fixed a problem where an incorrect message indicating a login failure was given if the Exchange server was unavailable
fixed a problem that caused syncing to cease if Groupcal received corrupted alarm data
added the ability to specify a custom FBA login URL (required for some customized Exchange server logins — should only be used at Snerdware's direction)
multiple minor user interface improvements.

Requirements:
iCal 1.5.1 or newer;
Microsoft Exchange Server 2/2003 with the latest Service Packs;
WebDAV (Outlook Web Access);
valid Exchange email account.
