Suggestion: Include a description of the software in the release announcement. None of these change log items give me much of a clue as to what DateBocks actually does or why I would bother following the link you provided.
A shorter E-mail that described the software in one or two sentences, with a link to the change log, might be better.

I ask because I have an application (Ruby based) that uses an earlier version of the dynarch calendar, and the appearance of DateBocks is identical to that calendar (version 0.9.6).
The company I work for has decided not to move to RoR (sigh) but this is
by far the best javascript calendar I've seen yet.
I see you have plans to eventually port it to other frameworks, but what
about just plain HTML? I'd like to be able to just slap it on a text
field and have it work. (With a little html, of course.)
using firefox on linux, but no joy. i assume the little calender widget
is
supposed to open a larger calender pop up? am i the only one noticing
this?
regards.

Firefox 1.5 on Kubuntu here. Clicking on the little calendar icon, or
typing things and hitting enter, either works great for me. Have you
got any adblocks or javascript stoppers?

Here Firefox 1.5 on Win 2k (whitelistet this page in adblock, javascript and so on activated) also no joy. IE6 on same machine loves it and it looks great.
nope. it's quite strange. i actually have some other similar widgets running
now - including the one for google calander. in any case it sounds like it's
somehow on my end - thanks.

Thanks for all the great feedback, other than the strange bugs going
around in various browsers/os's.
I will see what I can find. If you have a sec please do try hacking
away and let me know what you come up with. I only have so many
workstations setup, and haven't yet got Parrallells configured for all
the OS's everyone mentioned it was buggy on.
