# The Events Calendar 5.3.2

### Summary

Maintenance Release

This release adds a custom map pin option to the WordPress Customizer for V2 users with a custom Google Maps API key, plus design tweaks in the calendar’s list and day views.

This is a “maintenance” release, meaning it should be a super smooth update but, as always, please backup your site and database as you would with any other WordPress update.

#### ✨ New

New features included in this release:

- Create custom map pins in the [WordPress Customizer](https://docs.nexcess.com/software/the-events-calendar/wordpress-customizer-events/) when using our updated calendar views and a custom [Google Maps API key](https://docs.nexcess.com/software/the-events-calendar/google-maps-api/).
- The top padding above the date stamp in list view is a little bigger.
- The bottom margin of the event title in list and day views is a little smaller.
- Some sharp corners have been rounded in the event designs.
- Customize the URL delivered to the Event Aggregator server using a new `tribe_aggregator_build_url_data` filter.
- Some light styling was added to The Events Calendar section of the Customizer admin for V2 views.

#### ✅ Fixed

Bugs that were squashed in this release:

- We now use a dynamic label for the fast-forward link on the month view, which allows for more customized changes with our [Relabeler extension.](https://docs.nexcess.com/software/the-events-calendar/customize-venues-organizers/)
- We correctly filter `locale` in the `TribeEventsI18n` class to avoid errors.
- We fixed an issue where Event Aggregator was causing errors for some users regardless of whether or not they were using it.
- We have resolved an issue where the main calendar page was blank with the updated calendar views.
