[We’ve previewed the major features included in this release](https://docs.nexcess.com/software/the-events-calendar/release-notes-the-events-calendar-things-aware-version-4-3-events-calendar-event-tickets-premium-add-ons/), and now those features are available. We couldn’t be more stoked for you to have them. This is a major update and, as such, we strongly recommend that you test the latest versions of our plugins in a safe development environment *before* installing them on a live site. New features means new code—we expect smooth sailing, but **we urge you to test everything out** since there could be breaking changes. This is especially important for those of you who’ve added snippets, template overrides, or core customizations to the plugins. And, of course, please [backup your database and files](https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups) as you would before any other WordPress update. Ready to explore the details of this release?
