There has not been any change in the parsing of links. As long as the
top level Calendar namespace exists links should find it.

Did you change anything else except upgrading. E.g. did you
re-organize the notebook ?

Since they should work the same as before, no update should be needed.

You might try "zim --index -V /path/to/notebook" to force an update of
the index. Not sure if it helps, but could fix any corruptions in the
index.
