The new Calendars module is a worthy successor to legacy Calendar Manager. Our developers created it with the intention to keep (and improve!) the features you love as well as deliver a streamlined experience for admins and users alike. We also wanted to bring you the core functionality as soon as it was ready, while continuing to research and develop certain other features to make sure we get them right.
