Mozilla Lightning struck my calendar dead

Upgraded to version 0.7 because a little prompt wanted me to...and then the f*cking thing wiped 2 years off my calendar.

B*st*rds - why didn't it say !!!!!!

Apparently it tells you in small print on the website, but it really, really should notify you when you see those little upgrade things on your PC.

That is my lifeline, it shows my past activities, I use it to fill in time spent consulting on each project, as well as holding my forward schedule.

Who made the decision to update without very clear warning that data would be scrubbed - what do they think people do with calendars?

(Apparently the only way out is to roll back to version 0.5)
