📦 Calendar sync and providers

• MeetingBar now has a new calendar sync layer with clearer provider handling for macOS Calendar and Google Calendar.
• This should help with issues where:
• events stop refreshing
• calendars disappear or do not load
• selected calendars reset unexpectedly
• Google Calendar requires reauthorization too often
• provider switching behaves inconsistently
• refresh failures clear the UI instead of keeping the last known good state

📦 Google Calendar reliability

• Google Calendar authorization and refresh handling were reworked.
• Please pay special attention to:
• signing in
• staying signed in
• reconnecting after failed refresh
• selected Google calendars
• public Google calendars
• sleep/wake behavior

📦 Meeting links and opening

• Meeting link detection was rebuilt around a dedicated provider model.
• This release improves support for:
• Google Meet
• Zoom
• Microsoft Teams, including newer short links
• ProtonMeet
• Workplace
• custom meeting links
• + 1 more

📦 Notifications and fullscreen alerts

• Notification planning and fullscreen notification behavior were rebuilt.
• Please test:
• normal start/end notifications
• fullscreen notifications
• fullscreen notifications for events without meeting links when enabled
• auto-join
• snooze
• dismiss
• + 2 more

📦 Preferences and onboarding

• The onboarding flow and Preferences window were reorganized.
• Please test:
• fresh setup
• switching between macOS Calendar and Google Calendar
• selecting calendars
• Meeting Links settings
• Menu Bar / Display settings
• Notifications settings
• + 2 more

📦 Status bar and menu

• The status bar and dropdown menu were reworked to use the new app state model.
• Please test:
• no upcoming events
• current meeting
• next meeting today / tomorrow
• long event titles
• hidden title
• hidden icon
• + 5 more

📦 Not included in V5

• Some larger features are intentionally not part of this release:
• multiple Google accounts at the same time
• first-class Outlook provider support
• opening calendar attachments or meeting notes
• phone number detection as meeting links
• full multi-link disambiguation UI
• fullscreen notifications on all screens
• larger automation/hooks redesign
• + 1 more

📦 How to report issues

• If something breaks, please include:
• macOS version
• whether you use macOS Calendar or Google Calendar
• whether this was a fresh install or an upgrade
• what you tested
• what happened
• screenshots or logs if available
• whether the issue also existed in 4.11.x or appears new in V5
