Additionally, events can now be invited to from existing groups, new groups, contacts, or via a link, and a calendar view has been introduced for easier schedule navigation. The update also includes different event lists for better organization: Active (events yet to respond, going, available, or maybe), All (active events and those not attending), Hidden (hidden events and those attached to hidden groups), and Past (past or canceled events).
