# Event Tickets 5.3.1

### Summary

Maintenance Release

Event Tickets 5.3.1 features some improved stability and performance fixes to the plugin.

As always, we recommend [testing updates](https://docs.nexcess.com/software/the-events-calendar/creating-and-using-a-wordpress-staging-site/) on a staging site first, but it should all be smooth sailing.

#### ✨ Enhancements

Small improvements made in this release:

- We updated a theme compatibility class to make use of common compatibility classes.
- We tweaked the `get_tickets` method to improve stability and performance around tickets.
- Stripe scripts are now being loaded as `type=module`.

---

#### ✅ Fixes

Bugs that were squashed in this release:

- We fixed a warning message that was appearing when creating an event via Community Events.
- Fixed an issue that caused three emails to be sent when using Stripe payments.
- Views now default to V2 if using Event Tickets only.
- Currency symbol in the tickets block respects the currency selected on the Tickets Commerce settings, when using Event Tickets as a standalone plugin.
