Previously, all-day calendar events were stored and exported as timestamped inst…ants, so iCal and Google Calendar treated them as timed events, and recurring all-day events spanned an extra day. This change emits all-day events as date values with an exclusive end date in the iCal feed, the "Add to calendar" download, and the Google Calendar link, and ends recurring all-day occurrences at the end of their day so they render as a single day.
