Calendar version 1.2.3 has been released. You can download it from WordPress or from my own site. Thanks to all who helped with testing and especially to those who offered solutions to discovered issues.

This release sees a whole raft of important bug fixes, if you have a minor issue with your current install it will almost certainly be fixed in this version.

In addition to fixes, a number of enhancements have been added

• Full support for WordPress 3.0
• Recurring events by weekday (ie. 3rd Sunday of every month)
• Ability to list today’s and upcoming events on posts/pages using tags

Hope you continue to enjoy using Calendar!
