 * You state that the only updates to this Legacy version will be for security reasons.
 * What if Google changes their API? Will this still be supported, or is it your
   plan to retire this plugin if that happens?
 * My reason for asking is that I updated to the new Simple Calendar and the result
   was horrific!!! NEVER, I mean NEVER force an update of this magnitude on anyone
   via a simple “update” this plugin. The new Simple Calendar SHOULD have been an
   entirely separate, entirely new plugin. You could have posted a message about
   moving to this new plugin. I’m considering looking for an entirely different 
   plugin and to avoid EVERYTHING associated with any of the current developers 
   or business that has done this!!! Very unhappy right now!
 * I am trying to take the path of least resistance right now, by moving back to
   the old version, although I also want to avoid this old version failing due to
   Google API updates, or you deciding to end support.
 * You can search for my posts in your new Simple Calendar plugin regarding the 
   issues I’m having with it. It will also be getting a 1* rating.

 * We hear your frustration and apologize, as it was not intentional. Please read
   this post we posted a little while back for a better explanation:
 * [https://simplecalendar.io/blog/google-calendar-events-backwards-compatibility-update/](https://simplecalendar.io/blog/google-calendar-events-backwards-compatibility-update/)
 * In summary, we did post messages, send emails, had a beta testing period, etc.
   But obviously it wasn’t sufficient.
 * As for Google and the point they deprecate the **current/v3** version of their
   Calendar API, yes it may happen at some point, at which no, we will not update
   this plugin. Could be a year or two, maybe longer.
 * As for the last API deprecation (v2) in November 2014, this plugin, if left alone
   back then, would’ve completely broke anyway. Which is the main reason fro the
   major updates at that point.
 * There are also several calendar plugins out there that store events in within
   WordPress itself, not with Google, if you’d like that sort of control.
 * Finally, with the new version we’re doing our best to fix as many issues affecting
   users as possible as fast as possible.
