# Events Calendar Pro 5.1.6

### Summary

Maintenance Release

Events Calendar Pro 5.1.6 features the correct countdown widget so that it shows the absolute time until event, regardless of the timezone.

This is a minor release with no template updates, so it should be smooth sailing when updating. That said, it’s always a good idea to [backup](https://docs.nexcess.com/software/the-events-calendar/creating-site-backups/) your site and test changes in a [development environment](https://docs.nexcess.com/software/the-events-calendar/creating-and-using-a-wordpress-staging-site/) before installing this on your live site, as you would with any other WordPress update.
