[Plugin: Events Manager Extended] Released 4.0.2 and 1.0.0

Hi all,

version 4.0.2 of Events Manager Extended has been released. The next version has a new name, called ‘Events Made Easy’, version 1.0.0. In order to switch: deactivate ‘Events Manager Extended’ and download and install ‘Events Made Easy’, all your events will be converted to the new plugin.

From the changelog:

* Feature: added options ‘category’ and ‘notcategory’ to the shortcode [events_filterform], so you can choose to only show specific categories or exclude certain categories from the select box

* Feature: the end time can now be the same as the start time, so you can test on this to not show end date/time info (for eg. events without end)
