[Users] [Bug 107583] 8.7.2 calendar month view broken for multiple day spanning events

Hello All,

I released a `patch` for the broken calendar in 8.7.2. Basically copy-paste the calendarCore
back from 8.7.1.

https://github.com/Zimbra-Community/zimbra-patches#872-calendar-breaks-month-view

It seems in 8.7.2 only some optimizations where done (that break the calendar), and some
warnings where added to warn people putting appointment dates in the past. I do not see
a security related patch in calendarCore in 8.7.2.

I also noted Zimbra shipped 8.7.2 with an outdated license block:
On 8.7.2 it says:
* Zimbra Collaboration Suite Web Client
* Copyright (C) 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014 Zimbra, Inc.

On 8.7.1 it said:
* Zimbra Collaboration Suite Web Client
* Copyright (C) 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2016 Synacor, Inc.

Its a bit embarrassing.

Regards, Barry

Hello All,

I am forwarding this bug to the users dl, as I think it is a pretty severe bug.
That would justify an out-of-band patch from Zimbra.

In the mean time, there are not that many options, as 8.7.2 contains security patches,
so if you are on 8.7.1 you can choose between security or a working calendar.

If you are on 8.6, you have the option to install the security patch 8 in beta...
but at least your calendar works.

Also the end of general support for 8.6 is coming this year:
https://www.zimbra.com/support/support-offerings/product-lifecycle/

Seeing that related calendar bugs in 8.7 have not been fixed in 8.7.1 and 8.7.2
I am getting a bit worried about the calendar feature in Zimbra ATM.

Barry
