A major Event has happened!

The Events team is proud to announce that Events (EVT) 4.0.1 has been released today. The module can be obtained from our project's download page.

It is a long time since a new release of Events has become available. A new team started in Q2 of 2008 and did a lot of work for this release. The objective of the team (and this release) is: Moving the Events module to DNN 4.x and .NET 2.0, while stabilizing and solving all known bugs. And I think we succeeded, more than 60 issues were solved.
