 * This is really a very great product, the developer deserves a 5-star rating, 
   and I’ve gone on to buy the premium version and use it on other projects. There
   was one bad update that caused me some headaches a while back, but this is really
   an amazing little plugin for free and with some premium upgrades you can build
   some really cool features around it.
 * OLD REVIEW BELOW: I used to love this plugin. Unfortunately the update screwed
   up the way the calendar loads and now I’m going to have spend figuring out how
   I can fix the view (unlikely) or installing a new option (more likely). Why would
   you break a great plugin? Looks and works worse after the update.
 * Sorry if the tone’s a little harsh – this update just cost me several hours over
   the next couple of days and leaves a client site looking rough in the meantime.
 * No bueno.

 * Thanks for the notice Nick Young. You guys failed to state that it will break
   yo sh** and you will lose sleep over it, and it will not work like before….
 * I am so frustrated, I would love to have someone fork the old v.2. version and
   start a new plugin. Because this bunch is making aweful choices at our expense.
 * Peace… I am out.

 * We admit we didn’t take enough precaution here and issued an update that broke
   backwards compatibility a bit too swiftly, and we apologize.

   with constructive information on how to go about fixing sites affected by a recent
   update.
 * Very professional team. Thank you.
