Important information about compatibility with previous versions of GC4
This version is compatible with previous GC4 versions but signing up as Maybe attending
will behave oddly when 4.1 is used alongside prior versions. Choosing "Maybe" used to
put you on the Standby list, but with 4.1 Standby and Maybe are two different lists
(Standby is people who want to attend but for whom there isn't space available,
Maybe is people who aren't sure they'll be able to attend).
If the event owner is running 4.1 and the member signing up as Maybe is running an
earlier version then the member will see himself with an 'Unknown' status. This is
because earlier versions of GC don't know about the new Maybe list. The member will
be processed correctly and his status will correctly show as Maybe to the event owner
as well as to any other members running 4.1 or newer.
Conversely, if the event creator is running an earlier version and the member signing
up is running 4.1 then his Maybe request will get processed as Standby since that's
what prior versions do with Maybe attendees. In this case the member running 4.1 will
see himself as "Yes" for attending and "Confirmed - On Standby" for his status.
If both the member and the event owner are running 4.1 or newer then it will behave as expected.
