iCalcreator test resources

Refactored and Reworked

up to 40% improved performance

much more strictly OO design

structured (and splitted) classes but still only one external "include"

revised internal logic

same basic iCalcreator 2.x INPUT interface but

all date properties will also accept a PHP dateTime object as input

same basic iCalcreator 2.x OUTPUT interface but

the getProperty method will return iCal formatted values/parameter pairs (as strings)

extended configuration management

cfg use of 2.x date (array) output format

cfg auto-split of property comma-separated list values into sorted multiple properties

xCal support removed

XML (rfc6321) supported (create/parse) using helper functions

rewritten user manual

 

and much more.. .
