Release: The Events Calendar and Event Tickets 4.2.4, plus premium add-ons

Hey folks and welcome to the next edition of updates to our suite of WordPress plugins. We just released The Events Calendar and Event Tickets 4.2.4 and want to share the goodness that this release brings.

In short, we corrected a handful of high-priority known issues that had been reported in our forums and that came up during testing. There were eight squashed bugs in all and we hope this makes things run much smoother for those who were affected by them.

If you’re following along our release schedule, this is a maintenance release that was planned en route to our next major feature release. We have one more maintenance release planned ahead of the big 4.3 launch, so hold on to your hats and let’s dig into what’ new in this release.

As always, we suggest testing all updates in a safe testing environment before updating on a live site. There are no breaking changes in this release but, for those of you updating from a version earlier than 4.2 will definitely want to review our past release notes for what has changed and test thoroughly before making the jump.
