Introduction of the new Calendar Resource API for managing physical resources.
Google has introduced the new Calendar Resource API as part of the Admin SDK's Directory API, enabling Google for Work customers to manage physical resources such as conference rooms, printers, and nap pods. These resources can be added to meetings by end users. This new API replaces the GDATA Calendar Resource API, which is scheduled for deprecation starting in January 2016 and will be sunset in January 2017.

Google Calendar Android and iOS apps now support Reminders for tracking to-dos.
Users of the Google Calendar Android and iOS apps can now create Reminders to track to-dos alongside their events. Reminders are created via the '+' icon and can automatically incorporate phone numbers and addresses from contacts and Google's knowledge graph. Unlike standard events, Reminders persist and appear at the top of the calendar each day until they are marked as completed. Additionally, Reminders are integrated across other Google services, including Inbox by Gmail, Google Keep, and Google Now.
