Big Calendar

Starting from version 3.0.0, the Business Calendar Panel is completely rebuilt based on the Big Calendar library. The previously existed Legacy mode has been retired.

The users preferred this library over the Legacy so often that we do not see the need to support the Legacy library anymore.

Starting from version 3.0.0 there will be only Big Calendar mode and the Legacy option disappears from the user choice.

The Big Calendar library is an open-source powerful React library with various features designed to make any calendar intuitive, modern and efficient.
