Well I’ve taken the plunge and updated the site from Events version 4.0.3 to Events 5.0.0. This is a really major leap in the module, though to be honest, the users of the website will not notice anything substantial. I guess the biggest visible change is the addition of the icon bar. Instead of having to scroll all the way to the bottom of the page to get to these links, they now appear at top right of the page. You can also now click on the subscribe check box, and you will get an email whenever a new event is added. The other icons link you to the month and week views of the events.

The other change that will be visible is on the social calendar, where you will see this icon indicating a recurring event.

Other than that the list views are now sortable, and on the historical ones are now sorted in reverse order, which is the more natural way for these lists.

For details of other changes, have a look through the rest of this blog, or if you are really interested have a look on the DotNetNuke Gemini site.
