## [4.0.0] - 2026-04-30

This is a major release and is **not** source or binary compatible with version 3.x.

Please see [Version 4 Migration Guide](MigrationGuide_to_4.md)
for details about API changes since libical 3.x.

Included in this release is a **Technical Preview (TP)** of our new library libicalvcard
for handling VCARD formatted data.  We encourage users to try-out this new library
and provide feedback to our issue tracker at <https://github.com/libical/libical/issues>.
Note that the libicalvcard API is not finalized and no source or binary compatibility
is guaranteed until sometime later in 4.x release cycle. Additionally, there are currently
no C++ bindings available for libicalvcard (volunteers wanted).

Please **do not** use libicalvcard for production or other non-experimental purposes
until the Technical Preview phase is completed.

### Added

- REUSE compliant licensing
- Supports multi-valued parameters (DELEGATED-FROM, DELEGATED-TO, MEMBER, DISPLAY, FEATURE, etc)
- Adds java bindings
- (TP) Brand new icalvcard library that follows the libical API.
- draft-ietf-calext-eventpub-extensions-19 (RFC 9073) support added
- draft-ietf-calext-valarm-extensions-07 (RFC 9074) support added
- Added support for Event Publishing (RFC 9073) and VALARM (RFC 9074) Extensions
- New CMake option "LIBICAL_ENABLE_64BIT_ICALTIME_T" to use 64-bit time_t implementations
   on 32-bit systems (where available and supported.  Windows-only so far)
- GEO property has arbitrary precision (values are internally stored as strings, not doubles)
- Allow previous recurrence iteration
- icalparser_ctrl setting defines how to handle invalid CONTROL characters during parsing
- Full support for `BYSETPOS`, i.e. remove the limitation to MONTHLY and YEARLY frequencies
- An API for setting/getting internal library limits (`icallimit_set` and `icallimit_get`)

### Changed

- Built-in timezones updated to tzdata2026a to include historical data
- Requires MSVC 2013 or higher (when building on Windows with MSVC)
- Requires CMake v3.20.0 or higher
- For the C++ bindings, requires a C++11 compliant C++ compiler
- libical-glib requires glib 2.38 or higher
- libical-glib requires a C11 compliant C compiler
- Replace gtk-doc with gi-docgen to produce libical-glib developer documentation
- libical-glib API is considered stable; no longer need to define LIBICAL_GLIB_UNSTABLE_API=1
   before including <libical-glib/libical-glib.h>
- By default, only shared libraries are built; to get static libraries one must invoke
  separate build using the CMake `-DLIBICAL_STATIC=True` option.
- CMake option -DGOBJECT_INTROSPECTION=True by default.
- `icaltzutil_get_zone_directory()` can use the TZDIR environment to find system zoneinfo
- `icaltimezone_set_tzid_prefix()` now allows setting an empty tzid prefix.
- `icaldurationtype_from_int` and `icaldurationtype_as_int` have been renamed to
    `icaldurationtype_from_seconds` and `icaldurationtype_as_seconds`, respectively.
- Components and properties with arbitrary iana-token names now are parsed with kind
    ICAL_IANA_COMPONENT and ICAL_IANA_PROPERTY if the `ical_unknown_token_handling`
    setting is ICAL_ASSUME_IANA_TOKEN. Otherwise, they are handled as error.
- Property and parameter names that start with "x-" (lowercase) now also
  are parsed as X kind.
- The `icalproperty_remove_parameter_by_(kind|name)` functions now remove all matching parameters.
  Before, they only removed the first matching parameter contrary to their documentation.
- `icalrecurrencetype_new_from_string()` is more strict against overflows and empty rule parts.
  E.g. it now rejects RRULE parts like `BYDAY=255SU` (which used to be interpreted as `BYDAY=-1SU`).

### Deprecated

- Several CMake options are renamed in favor of a "namespaced" equivalent.
  Please port your buildscripts to the new CMake option names.
  A complete list is provided in this "CMake options" section of the
  [Version 4 Migration Guide](MigrationGuide_to_4.md)

### Removed

- The old src/python code is removed in favor of the glib-introspection generated
   Python bindings. Requires building with -DGOBJECT_INTROSPECTION=True

### Fixed

- Fixed `icalcomponent_get_duration()` to account for DTEND/DUE TZID
- Improved performance of recurrence iterators
- Improved handling of BYWEEKNO when BYDAY is not present
- Fixed `icalcomponent_get_dtend()` and `icalcomponent_foreach_recurrence()`
    to correctly handle nominal durations
- Fixed `icalcomponent_foreach_recurrence` to filter out duplicate
    instances
