This took me some time to figure out. At first I thought GCSM wasn't syncing some particular calendar events (new ones I'd added since last update). That's when I noticed that the dialog boxes for months past and months future had changed to check boxes + dropdown. It used to be that a ZERO value in either box meant sync all. Now a zero literally means sync no months -- which is logical. However the ZERO values are carried over from the old versions to the new version.
Anyway, this might be a good note for an FAQ or something.
