Summary

Maintenance Release

The latest version of The Events Calendar adds various date support to the REST API.

As always, we recommend testing updates on a staging site first, but it should all be smooth sailing.

✨ New

New features included in this release:

• We now support the strict_dates REST API argument in the /events endpoint to control the inclusiveness of the date parameters.
• Support relative date parameters (e.g: starts_before, ends_after as REST API arguments in the /events endpoint to retrieve single-day and multi-day events in a single search.
• Adds initial integration with Restrict Content Pro. This hides any events on the calendar views that the user is not allowed to view.

✅ Fixed

Bugs that were squashed in this release:

• Adds new function to properly escape event titles in URLs, so they are better handled by rewrite rules. Props to @shisho585 for the fix!
• We now avoid resetting post data in some Divi theme and plugins.
• Corrected a few misnamed custom prop references in postcss.
• Corrected an issue with the event venue when saving in our WPML integration. Props to @dgwatkins for the fix!
• We now correctly deprecate the Tribe__Events__Main::get_closest_event method.
• Correctly set found_postsand max_num_pages when redirecting a query to the custom tables.
• We now do not run wasteful queries on switch_blog in multi-site installations.
• We now do not throw errors during migration when notices or errors come from other plugins.
• Ensure tribe_is_month and tribe_is_by_date work as expected.
• Ensure we handle if By_Day_View gets a null $event_obj->dates. Props to @juliangumenita for the fix!
