You can now perform basic formatting like bolding, applying headings, inserting URLs or images, lists, etc. If the editor causes performance problems, you can disable it in System | Configuation | Appearance. · Created an internal header capability. You can now create a custom header that is displayed when users are logged in. · Import screens (CSV, iCal, and RSS) now support default values for Contact Name, Contact Info, and Additional Info URL. · Added a Usage report. This usage report allows you to query the system to create a tabular report. Examples of queries include: Total Resource usage, total calendar usage, resource usage by calendar. Reported values can be sum of hours, # events, or count of other variables. · Removed requirement for Triggers from MySQL script, simplifying installation in hosted environments. Re-structured a purge query to work in Access and MySQL. · Added a copy event function. You can now copy an event from the view event screen, or while editing an event. · Added a preview event function that allows you to preview the view event screen while editing the event. · Notification filters now support filtering on specific resources, resource types, event types, resource groups, users, or user groups. · The browser will now detect if you've made an edit and then navigate your browser without saving the changes and will display a warning if you do. · iCal and RSS feed exports can now be done for calendars that are not visible without logging in. · Added system level option to (not) notify contacts on event edit or delete. Contact info notify on edit/approve did not correctly handle mixed info (email/phone) or multiple addresses. Fixed an error causing delete messages to not be sent to contacts. · Reworked the Manage Reminders screen to address usability issues. As part of the re-design, all EMail addresses will be converted to lower case. Fixed a problem in manage reminders if you tried to manage reminders/notifications for a user who did not have permissions to create reminders/ notifications. Fixed a problem where the menu preference was following the user you were managing reminders/notifications for, not your own. · Holiday add screen is now more generic. Added support for other countries, including: Australia, Canada, Canada (Quebec), France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, New Zealand, Spain, and the United Kingdom. Added support for Islamic Holidays, Jewish Holidays, and Episcopal Liturgical calendars. · Changed default order of permissions for Resource, Event Types, etc, are displayed in. Added headings to calendar permissions to provide logical grouping. Made default permissions for calendar to only be view and use. · Bulk Exception add screen now allows you to select which event types should not have exceptions added, and it now uses a mover for calendar selection. · Various list screens (List events, list users, list resources, etc) now implement scrolling behavior on the list rather than requiring you to scroll the browser window. · iCalExport now writes Connect Daily specific contact name and contact info values allowing the iCal Import to precisely preserve this data when reading from another Connect Daily source. · Made session timeout a system configuration option with values from 1-4 hours. To change this value, go to System | Configuration | System and set the desired value. · Changed the Date picker used for date input fields. · Added a time picker for time fields. The time picker can be disabled if desired by going to System | Configuration | Time Input and setting the Time Input Type to "Text Box". · Improved iCal import to handle additional recurrence patterns involving BYSETPOS. Public add page now requires a start date for an event. Page now accepts calendar_id= as argument to set the calendar the event should be added to. · Custom fields that are Date type now have a date picker associated with them. · Restructured the included calendars section to be simpler, using movers rather than many dropdown lists of options. Edit Resource Group screen now uses a mover. · Users listed in the Add User/Group dialog, or in the manage security wizard are now sorted by full name and then user name. · Movers displaying Users, User Groups, or Calendars now display the description of element as a tooltip when you move your mouse over the entry in the mover. · The attachments tab now has a delete attachments button. The previous method of marking the attachments for removal and saving was causing confusion. · The Edit Calendar Header screen now supports creating a "Home" link. The screen now creates the header in the appropriate directory for the users language preference, creating a sub-directory in /custom if necessary. · CSV Export now exports event type. · Email addresses may be entered in any format (1 per line, space delimited, comma separated, etc) in the edit reminder and edit filter screens. Previously, they had to be formatted one per line. · Improved audit trail logging when editing an event's exception dates or specific dates. · Import now truncates values that are too long to fit in the database rather than throwing an error. · Fixed an issue in single event iCal export where the event would not export if the privacy flag was set to roll up busy. Fixed an issue where an instance of a recurring event would not export correctly if there was a start time but no end time. · Improved Email address extraction from Contact Info field for export in iCal. Mixing Phone/Email in contact info field would generate an invalid MAILTO clause. · Added Setup Public Calendar Viewing, Change Colors, and Edit Custom Header to system configuration menu. · Fixed a minor menu issue in IE 8. · Fixed a null pointer exception in the custom field wizard. If you selected an input type of dropdown, or radio group and supplied no options the program would throw an Error. · The audit trail search for entries by user was broken. · If you're using a custom icon file, the program will not generate an error if an icon added after the custom file was created is referenced. Added fix so that missing or invalid IconsFile in system configuration will not prevent Connect Daily from starting. · On the list reminders and notifications screen, if a user created a filter or reminder that affected a group they were a member of, that item would be shown in the section Reminders or Notification Requests created by others that will notify me. If a section has no entries, the icon will be disabled. · Fixed logging for delete in mulitple areas. A log entry was being written even if the delete failed because of referential integrity constraints. · The change comments screen would not appear when the user edited an instance of a recurring item. · If the file transfer screen encounters an error downloading a file, it will re-set the current directory to the top level. The use of the back button was confusing the screen about the current directory. · Improved time formatting on IFrame Simple List jsp. Modified so that the page only shows each event once regardless of how many times it occurs. Corrected an issue that would cause the number of displayed items to be too small. · System now prevents attempted double-import on CSV screen. · The "Anonymous user preferences persist" option could not be changed from Setup Public Calendar Viewing. · Updated Time Zone rules for export to Olson 2009d.
