In the first entry discussing C++ inheritance, I covered how basic inheritance works: A hidden pointer to a virtual function pointer table is used to dispatch to the correct method. I pointed out that the addresses of the objects, no matter how I casted them around stayed the same.

In version April 2013 we have focused on the formatting profiles in the time sheet calendar. Until now we only showed a color legend in the navigation bar on the left side, but there is much more information we can display so we decided to change the color legend to a bar chart.
