Your Environment

• SuiteCRM Version used: 7.8.1

[daniel-samson]

The changes in 3.1.0 are:

• experimental support for implicitly batched ("debounced") event rendering (#2938)
  
  
  
  • eventRenderWait (off by default)
  
  
• new footer option, similar to header toolbar (#654, #3299)
• event rendering batch methods (#3351):
  
  
  
  • renderEvents
  
  
  • updateEvents
  
  
• more granular touch settings (#3377):
  
  
  
  • eventLongPressDelay
  
  
  • selectLongPressDelay
  
  
• eventDestroy not called when removing the popover (#3416, #3419)
• print stylesheet and gcal extension now offered as minified (#3415)
• fc-today in agenda header cells (#3361, #3365)
• height-related options in tandem with other options (#3327, #3384)
• Kazakh locale (#3394)
• Afrikaans locale (#3390)
• internal refactor related to timing of rendering and firing handlers.
  calls to rerender the current date-range and events from within handlers
  might not execute immediately. instead, will execute after handler finishes.

These features will not make much difference to the calendar in SuiteCRM.

[horus68]

at least the files included in SuiteCRM should be refreshed (the changelog is from v2.3.2) the languages also need some update (comparing the files and you find the code is not arranged in the same way. That's why I didn't even revised my language).
As a rule of thumb, when a software include external code in core there should be a close attention on updates.

@Dillon-Brown @samus-aran as soon will relase 3.11 come here in Fullcalendar are great news

Latest version 3.9

• it looks that the version 3.9 will last main version compatibile with our instace. Also bring many security + other fixes + enhacemnets from version 3.0.1 which we now have

@ApatheticCosmos this is also qestion on you if upgrade will now break all your work which you did for sync with google calendars

What do you think... Is it time to thinking about update the Fullcalendar to latest version?

Latest 4.0 alpa will https://fullcalendar.io/blog/2018/04/alpha-release-jquery-removal

• more lightweight and allow for better integration with React/Vue/Angular. We have completed the detangling process!
• removing jQuery as a dependency is a non-backwards-compatible change of course, warranting a major version bump to v4.0.0.

@Mausino Unless the upgrade changes the way meetings are stored in the database, this would have no effect on Google Sync.

@Dillon-Brown thank you for upgrade

@samus-aran should it get label with 7.11 Milestone?
