        Hi,
that's correct, they claim to be version 2.0, but the content is
malformed.

Interestingly, saving the file and adding it as a custom On This
Computer calendar shows the events (with a newly added UIDs by the
backend).

It's the connection state of the calendar, whether it's connected
and/or reachable. I agree that the change to the two-arrows icon is
confusing for me too.

Anything like that may require API changes.

As the local backend can cope with missing UIDs, I guess the read-only
On The Web backend can safely add missing UIDs as well.
