Having date repeats with no end date would be very useful. Perhaps this could be achieved in combination with the use of cron, which could create upcoming repeat dates for the next 10 or 20 instances, instead of creating all the repeat dates when a node is created.

Hi there,

This would be great. Since Date Repeat uses iCal RRules, I assume this is simple to implement as iCal supports non-ending dates, however I guess performance may be an issue?

I agree and have wanted this for a while. Glad to see someone else suggest it.

Since this applies to 6.x as well, I am changing the version to 6.x. It would be great to see this as a feature.

This seems like a fairly simple change. From what I can tell the only additional requirement for this change is in the display of the repeat rule. Because there is the possibility of specifying "no limit" on the number of dates displayed, this feature would require a new global default limit (default/configurable) on the number of items displayed. Otherwise the repeat module would loop infinitely.
