I would like to thank Giuseppe Scrivano for maintaining GNU gcal up to now and I am pleased to take the wheel now.
I am happy to also announce the release of version 4.2.0 of gcal.
Besides making GNU gcal compilable with gcc15, this release is basically a bug fix release. It contains fixes for bugs reported on the bug-gcal mailing list and filed in the Debian BTS (Bug Tracking Sytem).
While becoming the GNU gcal maintainer on savannah went very well, it was not possible to give me upload rights for GNU ftp server. As I am not confident that I get access to the server in the near future, I am publishing the new version at:

and the GPG detached signatures using the key 79DED521FD7B916F726130A6250D40F0A6A2C5C8:
