Release Notes - December 5th, 2022

We are super excited to release and announce the following updates.  There have been a number of releases over the past two months, but they were relatively small and we didn't write up any release notes.  So for this release we will document all the updates we have done since the last release.

Our developers have been focused primarily on improving the speed of the application and we're happy to announce that with this release we have sped up the response time for the application significantly.  Hopefully you'll notice (or not notice) how zippy the response time for all the pages have become.  We have also addressed a number of outstanding bugs in the application as well.

Feature Updates

• As part of this release, there was a major update and focus on performance.  We reduced the download size of what is needed to display and render each page.  In addition, we sped up a number of checks:
  • Permission updates and checks were streamlined to check on demand and not at the beginning of the user session.  This allows for a more streamlined flow within the application
  • We have migrated to using web-sockets to save information about preferences to enhance performance.
  • The checks that happen right after log in have been streamlined to reduce latency
• Added new emails for direct to owner payments to keep them informed when tenants have paid rent
• Added filters to Property Management Terms to allow Property Managers to create Statements for specific date ranges or for specific properties.
• We added the ability to add contacts to a number of different sections when you're creating the object.  For example, you can now add a contact when creating a transaction
• We added the ability to add a Chart of Account to a number of different areas when creating the object.  For example, you can now add a new Account when creating a transaction, or adding a line in your Budget
• We added the ability to add a new Category to Maintenance, Violations and Architecture Review when adding a Ticket.

Fixes

• Fixed an issue around generating a report on the Lease Agreement list using Save Results where the filters were not taken into account.
• Added a check to always prompt the user if they want to update a recurring transaction if a linked transaction is updated.  In the past, we didn't prompt the user if the transaction was due in the future, now we always ask.

• Fixed an issue when applying multiple payments at the same time, the deposit-to fields was not being filtered correctly.
