Release: The Events Calendar and Event Tickets 4.2.2 + premium add-ons

Hey folks and hope you had a great holiday weekend! The bulk of us here at The Events Calendar enjoyed a long three-day weekend to celebrate U.S. Independence Day, but we were able to power down our grills and get a fresh new release out the door for you.

The Events Calendar 4.2.2 and Event Tickets 4.2.2 are now available. This is a maintenance release that addresses a handful of bugs that were reported here in the forums. If you’re keeping track, we aim for about three maintenance releases per cycle, which puts us on track for one more before we gear up to ship our next major version of the plugins.

The following plugins were updated in this release:

The following plugins were not updated in this release and retain their versions numbers:

  • Facebook Events 4.2
  • Eventbrite Tickets 4.2
  • Filter Bar 4.2.1
  • iCal Importer 4.2

Before we look at what’s changed, please do use caution when updating plugins on your site. We expect a simple update for those of you running version 4.2 and above. If you’re running anything lower, please read through our past release notes, make backups of your site and database, and test the latest versions in a development environment before deploying it to your live site. We know lots of folks make customizations to the plugins and we’d hate to see those lost for any reason.

With that, let’s dive into the change logs!
