Added a new category "Old British Currency" to the Unit Converter
containing 18 pre-decimalisation British units of currency including
some popular slang terms.

Developed file driven functionality for automating the process of
creating a personal unit converter database. The same functionality may
be used to incorporate any additions and changes to Calendar Magic's
unit converter database into a personal unit converter database.

The Iranian Government has decided to discontinue the use of DST
(Daylight Saving Time) from 2006. Updated Calendar Magic's DST
information in line with this decision.

Implemented a simple stopwatch function. To make the stopwatch visible,
use the Ctrl+W keyboard key combination from the main screen.

Added the calculation of the solar noon time to Sun and Moon Data
output. Solar noon is when the sun appears highest in the sky at any
particular location on Earth. Solar noon is of considerable interest to
sundial enthusiasts and to some Buddhists who are not allowed to eat
after the solar noon on any day.

Added a "Create Solar Calendar" button to the Sun and Moon Data screen.
Through this button you may create a calendar showing sunrise times,
sunset times or solar noon times for every day of a year for any
location in Calendar Magic's worldwide locations database.

Added the dates of some Buddhist festivals to the list of Observed Days
for Malaysia for 2006.

Added Civic Day (first Monday in August) to the list of Observed Days
for Canada.

Added the city (Berlin) hosting the World Athletics Championships in
2009 to Gregorian date conversions output for that year.

Restructured the output from "Days between Dates" to make it more
tabular in appearance.

Corrected time zone information for some cities and towns in Indiana in
line with decisions made by the U.S. Department of Transportation in
January, 2006.

Corrected the time zone offset (+3 hours) for cities and towns in Sudan.

Corrected the definition of the date of the early May holiday in the
United Kingdom.

Reduced the height of the "Enlarged View" form to ensure it is
completely visible on displays running at low graphics resolutions.

Widened the current time box at the top left of various forms to prevent
"text clipping" with some Windows time formats.

Fixed a problem with Réaumur temperature conversions on systems running
the Hebrew version of Windows.
