Working location presets – when you add a working location, PowCal suggests the city you'll be in that day, worked out from your other events and travel
Also in this release

The time zone suggestion dialog for a location opens faster
Event layout – an overlapping event no longer hides one that starts later, events keep their full width next to a narrowed neighbor, and the gaps left by hidden calendars close up
Time ranges – one consistent dash and spacing style in every language …
