2 million downloads
The Calendar panel inevitably targets the 2 million downloads mark towards the end of this year! Thank you for your trust and support.

Event Location
In the Event section, a new Location parameter is available for Big Calendar type only.
It is displayed in two places. First is following the Text, separated by a colon character(:). The second is in the Event Details, a popup window appearing after you click on the event in the calendar panel.

Contrast Text
This feature ensures that a text color always contrasts well with the background color. It is available for Big Calendar type only.
Work Week and select views
In the Calendar section, for the Views parameter, we added a new option work week. The setting is similar to a week view, but instead of seven days, it displays 5 days and hides Saturdays and Sundays.
In addition, now you can configure which views out of four (day, week, month, work week) will be available for an end-user.
The feature is available for Big Calendar type only.

Dashboard time zones
Starting from this release, the Calendar panel supports dashboard time zones. Previously, it synched with the Browser time zone.

Getting Started
You can install Calendar Panel from the Grafana Plugins catalog or using the Grafana command line tool.
