Group Calendar 4 will not talk to any previous versions, including the betas of Group Calendar 4 itself. All guild/alliance members must upgrade before everyone will see and be able to sign up for all events again.
You MUST restart WoW to upgrade. Group Calendar will warn you if you try to upgrade in-game with a reloadui and will disable itself until you restart WoW.
Events you created will still be there when you upgrade, but all events from other players will be purged. They'll begin showing up again as those players upgrade to 4.0.
The User's Manual is no longed included in the addon and is available online instead at http://wobbleworks.com/groupcalendar/manual. It hasn't been fully updated for GC4 yet, but the majority of it is still relevant. I'll try to get it updated completely soon, but it's a low priority for now.
About Group Calendar
Group Calendar allows guilds or groups of friends to share an in-game event calendar. The guild can post raid events and members can post events for dungeons they need to do quests for. Additionally, players can provide feedback to the event's sponsor saying that they will or won't be attending an event.
Once installed Group Calendar replaces the minimap current time tooltip and sun & moon icon. This can be used to open the UI or it can be opened using the /calendar command.

Optional Files - GroupCalendar
Sorry, there are currently no optional files available.
Ewwww, that is nasty to read. And their License terms say it's illegal to even try to read it >.>
Fortunately someone on Curse is having the same problem and I've been able to find the bug. It's just GC, Carbonite isn't really involved. It's some weirdness where when you first log in the names in your Friends list are all "Unknown" (which, internally, is actually nil). GC is trying to determine what faction the characters who own your various databases belong to and uses the logic that if they're in your friends list or your guild roster then they're the same faction as you.
It'll be fixed in the next build though.

I tried capturing the error message that is generated first, but so many of those errors are logged that the buffer wraps and whatever is generated first is lost. Tried both /chatlog and the Elephant addon and neither capture addon generated errors. Is there a way to increase the buffer size on my in-game chat log so I have a chance to go back and look at what started all the error messages?
Update: I found a way to extend the log and there are no additional messages....just that group of error messages I already posted...which repeat like 100 times.

Blech. I'll see if I can get a "demo" copy of Carbonite or something to find out what's going on.
If possible, try to see what the very first error you get is -- the message with the file and line number for that very first error is probably the most valuable piece of information for diagnosing this.

Unfortunately the Carbonite lua code is well obfusticated so I can't tell what's going on there....

Not sure what could cause that, but try disabling other addons and see if it's interference coming from somewhere. If not, then try
/cal reset realm
To get it to purge your character's events on the realms and see if that makes it happy.
If it still won't work and there's no sensitive data in your calendar (doctor visits, that sort of thing), email me the GroupCalendar.lua file from your SavedVariables folder at the email address on my Contact page at http://wobbleworks.com. I can take a look at see what's happening to your databases that's giving it such fits.
