        <p>
          GNOME Calendar 51.0 is now available!
        </p>
        <p>
          This is a remarkable release for us, as it is one of the biggest
          releases in the history of the project, and we're excited to share a
          slightly longer update on it.
        </p>
        <p>
          The first thing many users will notice is how GNOME Calendar will
          feel snappier now. During the past six months, a lot of work was put
          in optimizing GNOME Calendar from the inside out. This includes a
          major change in how it handles events internally, vastly reducing
          the amount of data transferred between GNOME Calendar and other
          components of the desktop, and applying many different tricks and
          strategies to make it render faster. Really, this is probably the most
          optimized the project has ever been.
        </p>
        <p>
          Another front in which GNOME Calendar has been consistently improving
          is accessibility and keyboard navigation. During this development cycle,
          another big batch of improvements on these fronts were merged. You can
          now navigate between events and days in the Month view using only your
          keyboard. The Week view is now properly styled when the high-contrast
          setting is enabled.
        </p>
        <p>
          The event editor dialog was another area of focus, with a variety of
          cleanups and improvements. In particular, the Notes section of the
          event editor dialog received a visual shift.
        </p>
        <p>
          A few other highlights:
        </p>
        <ul>
          <li>Zooming in the Week view behaves like other apps</li>
          <li>Improved drag and drop behavior on the Month view</li>
          <li>Accept slightly misformatted iCalendar files</li>
          <li>Support the maps URI for opening locations</li>
          <li>Use a better month name formatting in various places</li>
          <li>Add support for Teams links</li>
          <li>Fix various crashes</li>
          <li>New and updated translations</li>
        </ul>
        <p>
          On the non-technical side, in the past few months the project received
          contributions from many new contributors, as well as long time contributors.
          Our issue tracker continues to be in excellent shape, well triaged, and
          properly labeled. Our three latest releases were the biggest releases
          in the history of the project. Thank you all very much for using,
          developing, documenting, translating, testing, and fixing GNOME Calendar!
        </p>
