# Maintenance Release for the Week of 9 July 2018

Welcome to maintenance release number 10 of 2018! If this is your first time getting an update from us, maintenance releases are smaller updates between major releases, and are mostly comprised of bug fixes, tweaks, and small (but meaningful!) improvements. We always recommend using a [staging site](https://docs.nexcess.com/software/the-events-calendar/creating-and-using-a-wordpress-staging-site/) to test these changes before updating on a live site. To see all of the changes included in this maintenance release, check out the changelogs for all updated plugins below:

- [The Events Calendar 4.6.20](#tec)
- [Events Calendar PRO 4.4.29](#ep)
- [Event Tickets 4.7.5](#et)
- [Event Tickets Plus 4.7.5](#etp)
- [Not Updated this Release](#not-updated)
 
### The Events Calendar 4.6.20

- **Feature** – Add featured event column support for CLI imports
- **Add** – Method to sanitize a multidimensional array
- **Add** – New is\_not\_null and is\_null methods for Tribe\_\_Validator\_\_Base
- **Fix** – Display the exact search term in the “no results” notice on the events page
- **Fix** – Allow venue and organizer fields to be intentionally empty on Event Singular REST API calls
- **Fix** – Added basic checks to prevent saving obviously-invalid event meta values, such as sending EventStartMinute of 60 (since it should be 0-59) to tribe\_create\_event(). This prevents falling back to “zero” values (e.g. Unix Epoch) when another value was intended. Thanks to @compton-bob for flagging this via our Help Desk.
- **Fix** – Add Privacy Policy guide for The Events Calendar
- **Tweak** – Added new filter tribe\_plugins\_get\_list to give an opportunity to modify the list of tribe plugins
- **Tweak** – Added event ID parameter to tribe\_events\_event\_classes filter to make it more useful
- **Tweak** – Added the tribe\_aggregator\_record\_finalized action to allow developers to act before Event Aggregator imports start
 
### Events Calendar PRO 4.4.29

- **Fix** – Redirect to the main event series page when trying to access a nonexistent event recurrence
- **Fix** – Display the time of recurring event when previewing the event. Thanks Sumaiya for flagging this!
- **Fix** – Integrate the events list and mini calendar widgets with Site Origin’s Page Builder. Thanks @tommy, @simon, and @david.longdon for flagging this!
- **Fix** – Add validation to the recurrence exclusion “on” and “after” fields. Thanks James for reporting!
- **Fix** – Make sure recurring event instances will always show in REST API responses
- **Tweak** – Harden the sanitizing of values on the mini calendar
 
### Event Tickets 4.7.5

- **Fix** – Display unavailability message when tickets are not yet or no longer available
- **Fix** – Issues with calculating and displaying ticketed events on the admin list
- **Fix** – Add Privacy Policy guide for Event Tickets
- **Feature** – Include RSVP and Tribe Commerce tickets fields data in WP personal data export
 
### Event Tickets Plus 4.7.5

- **Feature** – Add QR API settings field and button to generate key
- **Feature** – Add base REST API system and endpoint for QR check in
- **Feature** – Add security code and REST path to QR code url and require use of security code for REST check in
- **Tweak** – Add tribe\_tickets\_plus\_trash\_ticket filter to give the opportunity to trash tickets when deleted instead of actually deleting them
