# Release: The Events Calendar 2.0.5

Almost a month to the day after pushing our 2.0.4 code base, today marks the release of The Events Calendar & The Events Calendar PRO 2.0.5. The code includes some bug fixes and new features (a snazzy, totally re-done Settings page among them)…along with including the hooks needed to integrate with Eventbrite Ticketing & Community Events Add-ons which should be out quite soon.

### Release Notes for WordPress Events Calendar 2.0.5:

**Small features, UX and Content Tweaks:**- Warning messages to indicate if you’re not running the latest version of PRO and/or if your PRO & core release numbers are out of sync
- Totally revamped “Settings” page with tabbed structure & improved UI
- Added a hook/filter to make it easier to modify the frontend year selection dropdown, as discussed in [this forum thread](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-the-events-calendar-change-old-calendar-years-from-5-to-1-year-ago) (more documentation on the filters and how they work is [right here](http://tri.be/tribe-settings-api/)).
- Updated all country selection dropdowns with [Chosen](http://harvesthq.github.com/chosen/)
- Incorporated a “This Event Has Passed” message that appears on any single event entry when that event has already occurred
- Added ability to filter the iCal Feed item generated by the calendar
- Removed strip\_shortcodes from the code to allow for unhindered shortcodes in event descriptions
- New Polish translation files for core & PRO courtesy of community member Kamil Szymański
- New Swedish translation files for core & PRO courtesy of community member Ben Andersen
- New Norwegian translation files for core & PRO courtesy of community member “Terje With Lunndal”

**Bug Fixes:**- Multiple bugs fixes related to how venue & organizer data is saved, displayed & edited
- Increased iCal stability when working with recurring events, as discussed in [this forum thread](http://tri.be/support/forums/topic/webcal-subscribe-problems/) (big thanks to Andy Fragen for his help!)
- Stopped pointing to dead links to help keep days with no events from negatively impacting SEO, as discussed in this forum thread
- Featured images for recurring events no longer get lost upon making changes to the recurrence pattern, as discussed in this forum thread
- Sites running UTC offset time zone settings no longer see end dates appearing as “0:00”
- Venue pages now show all upcoming events at a venue, regardless of pagination settings
- Frontend venue pages no longer show past events, as discussed in this forum thread *(PRO only)*
- Recurrence column no longer appears in the admin events list when PRO is not activated
- Apostrophes no longer become slashes upon saving data in custom fields
- Resolved an issue impacting certain sites where gridview navigation inserted br and p tags into the markup that threw the month nav off in the layout, as discussed in this forum thread
- Various performance enhancements for the integrated Advanced Post Manager *(PRO only)*
- Various preparatory updates to allow for integration with forthcoming add-ons
- Removed deprecated tags from overall code base
- Removal of various debug notices & errors

Also worth checking out: we’ve published an [all-new TribeSettings API documentation](https://docs.nexcess.com/software/the-events-calendar/tribe-settings-api/ "Tribe Settings API") this week. It may be of some value as you dig into the new release.
