Holy Service Release! What the hey is that?? I started to get dizzy after the 23rd line. By the time I read this one, "Day View Tasks now can be dragged to the Day view for instant conversion to an appointment" I felt like my head was going to a'splode.
There are things in that update log that I'm having trouble parsing let alone utilizing.

Alex does include a lot of stuff. The key ones for Toshiba users- full VGA, hiDPI, landscape compliance.
