We recently rolled out some updates to gowebtop and want to let you know what’s new!

The big news is that Laszlo Calendar is now 1.0! After releasing a preview a few weeks ago, we’re thrilled to release 1.0. In 1.0, we’ve added the following features to make your life even easier!

• Event Smartobjects! You can drag an event into an email compose window, where your event will appear as an attachment. While non-webtop users will see it as an iCal file, Webtop users can drag it into their Calendar and it’ll create the event for them
• You can now set reminders so you don’t forget an upcoming event
• You can now change which calendar an event belongs to
• You can now define a URL to link to information about an event
• We’ve added scroll bars so you can see more in Day and Week view
• And we’ve added a “Today” button to make navigating faster and easier

We also added some new features to the other applications, Laszlo Mail is now version 2.2 and Contacts is now version 1.2. The major changes include:

• When you select a contact in Contacts we now give you a button that makes it easy to see what operations you can do with the record
• Picture SmartObjects! You can click on image file attachments to see a preview before downloading. Previews can be shown for all common image formats including .jpeg, .gif, .ping and more
• Improved Contact SmartObjects! You can send contact information by dragging them into the email as an attachment. While non-webtop users will see it as a .vcf file, Webtop users can simply drag attachments into Contacts. If you drag the content to the To, CC or BCC field, the email address will be added to the sender list of the message
• We made the Preferences panel easier to find. With our growing number of applications (and there are more coming!), the preferences panel is now accessible in the upper right corner of Webtop. New improvements will also make it easier for third party developers to add preference settings for new applications
• The time of the last auto-save is now displayed in the footer of the mail compose window

There’s more coming soon, too!

We’re always interested in your thoughts and suggestions. Feel free to let us know what you think about gowebtop and what you’d like to see us add at new features or applications — drop us an email at feedback _at_ gowebtop.com.
