The Events team has made Beta 3 of Events 05.00.03 available.
In this beta, 36 issues have been fixed (bug fixes, enhancements and changes) as compared to Events 05.00.02 and 4 more then the previous beta of 05.00.03. Since we had some feedback on issues from testers, we decided to bring a final Beta, before putting this version into the DNN release tracker.
We are not working on new enhancements for this version anymore. We have fixed all know bugs. This beta should be 'it' (unless you find and report new bugs).
