Events Manager v2.3.5 is now available for download.
This update introduces a powerful new feature allowing event organizers to send notifications to attendees, including those marked as "Maybe." With this update, you can now keep participants informed through email alerts, along with a simple and intuitive interface for sending notifications.
Additionally, we've enhanced the event location field, supporting both address-based and place name searches for a more flexible event venue selection.

On event page, there is now a new button "
Notify attendees". This button appears only when all the following conditions are met:
- Event is Visible: The event’s state must be set to "visible," meaning it is publicly accessible and not hidden or pending approval.
- Permission to Notify Attendees: The user viewing this button must have permission to notify attendees (Only admins and event creators).
- Attendees Exist: The event must have at least one confirmed attendee.
When these conditions are met, the button allows the user to send notifications to all attendees. Clicking the button opens an overlay where the user can craft and send their notification. The attendee count is also shown on the button for quick reference.

We have adjusted the location autocomplete function to allow searching by both address and place names. With this change, you should now be able to add locations such as football clubs and your meeting place, "The Laboratory," using just the name.
