Release: version 3.11 of The Events Calendar, PRO and all add-ons

We are happy to say that version 3.11 of The Events Calendar and all add-ons is now available for download. Having just released 3.10 in June, we’re stoked to be sending new features and fixes your way and hope you enjoy the new goodies that await–including the all-new iCal Importer add-on!

Please read on to the release notes for each plugin. Also, please be sure to check out this list of templates that have changed in this release and update your own template customizations as needed. As always, we recommend backing up all files and databases prior to updating, as you would for any plugin or WordPress update.

Anything else? Oh yeah, the 3.11 release notes…
