Open Conference URL v7 is a major new release with notable new features and changes to improve performance, configurability, and day-to-day usability.

icalBuddy integration for large calendars

If you have a calendar with a large number of events, you can now enable a drastic improvement in workflow performance via a new integration with icalBuddy.

Enabling this integration is a two-step process:

1. Install icalBuddy; Homebrew is the recommended method (brew install ical-buddy)
2. Enable the "Use icalBuddy for sourcing event data" configuration option in the Configuration area for the workflow

This new integration is fully backed by automated testing, but if you encounter any problems, please submit a GitHub issue!

"Conference Domains" and "Calendar Names" options are now text boxes

To make editing easier, the workflow's "Conference Domains" and "Calendar Names" configuration options are now multiline text boxes. For example, rather than specifying domain patterns in a comma-separated list, you can now specify one domain pattern on each line.

Improved sorting of events

The sorting and display behavior for listed events has been improved in the following ways - Upcoming events are now always listed chronologically (making nearer events closer to the top of the list, for convenience); past events are still listed in reverse-chronological order (i.e. most recent to least recent) - If there are both upcoming events and past events to show, only show the most recent past event, rather than listing all past events, under upcoming events; this is to keep the event list from becoming too cluttered with events that are no longer relevant - If there are no upcoming events but there are past events, then all past events are still listed (again, in reverse-chronological order) - All-day events are always listed last

Under-the-hood improvements

• New automated tests have been added to ensure that the workflow behaves correctly in more situations
• Type hints have been added throughout the entire codebase to ensure that internal type consistency is maintained for future development

- Python
Published by caleb531 almost 3 years ago

https://github.com/caleb531/open-conference-url - v7.0.0-beta.5

• Update sorting and display behavior for listed events
  • Upcoming events are now always listed chronologically (making nearer events closer to the top of the list, for convenience); past events are still listed in reverse-chronological order (i.e. most recent to least recent)
  • If there are both upcoming events and past events to show, only show the most recent past event, rather than listing all past events, under upcoming events; this is to keep the event list from becoming too cluttered with events that are no longer relevant
  • If there are no upcoming events but there are past events, then all past events are still listed (again, in reverse-chronological order)
  • All-day events are always listed last
• Added type annotations (with the Pyright type checker) for improved code resilience

- Python
Published by caleb531 almost 3 years ago

https://github.com/caleb531/open-conference-url - v7.0.0-beta.4

• Updated the event listing logic to only show recent past events (specifically, events that satisfy: end time < current time <= current time + threshold), rather than all past events

- Python
Published by caleb531 almost 3 years ago

https://github.com/caleb531/open-conference-url - v6.2.2

• Fixed a major bug (from v6.2.0) where conference URLs would not open at all when choosing a result from Alfred

- Python
Published by caleb531 about 3 years ago

https://github.com/caleb531/open-conference-url - v6.2.1

• Treat events on the upper event of the Time Threshold to be "upcoming"
  • This is more consistent with the pre-6.2 behavior

- Python
Published by caleb531 about 3 years ago

https://github.com/caleb531/open-conference-url - v6.2.0

• If there are no upcoming events, past events now show below the "No Upcoming Events" message (in reverse-chronological order)
• Fixed an error that occurred when encountering all-day events spanning multiple days
• Added new automated tests to cover the new behavior

- Python
Published by caleb531 about 3 years ago

https://github.com/caleb531/open-conference-url - v6.1.0

- Python
Published by caleb531 over 3 years ago

https://github.com/caleb531/open-conference-url - v6.0.0

Breaking Changes

• The workflow no longer matches subdomains automatically; you must specify the subdomains either explicitly in your "Conference Domains" configuration (e.g. teams.microsoft.com) or as a wildcard (*.zoom.us).

New Features

New option to open MS Teams links directly in app

A new "Use Direct Teams Link" configuration option has been added so that you can skip the browser when launching Microsoft Teams meetings. It is enabled by default, which assumes you already have the Microsoft Teams application installed.

Added support for new services

• Added support for GoTo (formerly GoToMeeting)
• Added support for Dialpad (formerly UberConference)
• Added support for Google Duo

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug where the incorrect Microsoft Teams URL would be matched

Testing Infrastructure

A full suite of automated tests have been written to ensure that OCU v6 works as expected. The project now features a 99% code coverage score.

- Python
Published by caleb531 over 3 years ago

https://github.com/caleb531/open-conference-url - v5.2.0

  • If you leave this field blank, the workflow will fetch from all calendars

- Python
Published by caleb531 over 3 years ago

• Fixed a bug where static file URLs in Zoom invites (e.g. https://us02web.zoom.us/zoom.ico) would be misinterpreted as a conference URL

- Python

https://github.com/caleb531/open-conference-url - v4.0.0

Open Conference URL v4 is a major release that includes substantial new features, better error-handling, and welcome bug fixes.

New Features

• icalBuddy has been replaced with AppleScript, which should result in more consistent behavior across the board
• The workflow preferences have been moved from prefs.json to Alfred's Workflow Variables area (#12)
  • This new system will ensure your preferences are preserved even after Open Conference URL is updated to a new version
  • Click the [x] icon in the workflow view (within Alfred Preferences) to access them
• Zoom URLs now automatically skip the browser and open directly in Zoom via the zoommtg:// protocol ()
  • This behavior can be disabled (to prefer https:// URLs) by setting the new use_direct_zoom preference to false
• If Open Conference URL ever errors out due to a tainted event cache containing bad data, Open Conference URL will attempt to re-fetch the latest calendar data automatically

Breaking Changes

• As mentioned above, the prefs.json file has been removed in favor of the new Workflow Variables system; you will need to click the [x] icon in the workflow view (in Alfred Preferences) to reconfigure your preferred values
• The offset_from_today preference has been removed for being too confusing and not very useful

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug where dashes were not allowed in conference URL subdomains like https://my-university.zoom.us/j/... (mentioned in #12)

- Python
Published by caleb531 about 4 years ago

https://github.com/caleb531/open-conference-url - v4.0.0-beta.3

- Python
Published by caleb531 about 4 years ago

https://github.com/caleb531/open-conference-url - v4.0.0-beta.2

• Replace icalBuddy with an AppleScript
• Completely remove caching mechanism from workflow; it was well-intentioned, but ultimately causes many more issues than it solves (in addition to being quite complicated)
