New Functionality

Booking Sub Types

The administrator now has much more control on a resource by resource basis of the properties required to make a booking. Therefore the information required on the booking pop up may change depending on which resource is being booked.

Referenced By Condition

This is an extension of conditions that is turned on when the Show advanced check box is selected. It allows the addition of a condition on the number of times the biskit in question is referenced by other biskits. E.G. finding all the projects that have not had a booking in the last 6 months, or that have had more than 10 bookings in the last week.

Soft Locking

When a user begins editing anything, if it appears that anybody else is already editing it, then the user will be warned.

Authentication

There's now support for single-sign-on and other authentication methods. This means that users don't need to have separate passwords for Calpendo and other systems.
 
This includes an updated login page and new user registration page. Is also easier to disable user self-registration for those sites that prefer to do this.

Third Party Software

The About page now has a link to a page that shows what third party software has been used in making Calpendo.

Automatic Timestamps

As well as storing all activity in the audit log, Bookings have always directly stored the date and time when they were created and last changed. This has now been extended to other data types including Projects and can be added to custom types too.

Automatic Version Tracking

Some built-in data types and custom types can now keep track of their version number. For example, every time a project is edited, its version number is increased by one. This can now prevent somebody overwriting other people's changes by making sure when something is saved, the latest version was being edited to begin with.

Changes in Functionality

Exporting Native Excel Files

Native Excel files can now be exported (xls and xlsx). This is particularly useful for countries that use a comma as a decimal separator such as most non-English European countries.

Calendar Pop Up Cancel Button

The booking pop-up now shows an additional cancel button to remove confusion between cancelling the booking and cancelling the pop-up.

Faster Start-Up Time

Particularly on slower network connections, there should be a noticeable faster start up time.
