Only a month since the last interim release and here we are again!

As you can tell from the version number bump this is a mostly minor release but there are a few goodies in there.

Email Failure Reports

Our Enterprise level customers can now see a report of the last month’s email failures. This includes hard bounces, where the email was returned for some reason and could not be delivered, rejects where the email address does not exist, and spam responses where the user has reported the email as spam.

In the case of rejects and hard bounces, the volunteer or provider email is marked as INVALID and in the case of spam reports they are marked as DO NOT SEND EMAILS. In both cases the email address will no longer be sent any bulk group, or weekly emails.

We are working on including the email content and subect so that you know which email raised the error and failed.

Event Area Updated

The event area has now been updated to match the look and functionality of the volunteer and opportunity search and manage pages. It looks a lot easier on the eye and for those of you that run a lot of events, you can now easily search them.

Storage Improvements

We’ve mow moved nearly all of the image and document storage to Amazon’s S3 which should improve load and caching times for images like the opportunity images, event images, downloadable documents etc.

There will not be any visible changes and it should be totally transparent to our customers.

Club Functionality Integrated

For those enterprise customers that use ClubKinetic, this has all been integrated into the main top menu bar under the, obvious heading, clubs!

The pages have also been updated to match the layout and functionality of the main areas.

New Qualifications Search Filter

For those customers that use volunteer qualifications you can now filter your volunteers on their uploaded qualifications.

Refreshed and Update News Area

For the administrators the news area has been refreshed and now looks and acts the same as the main areas of the application.

More Sortable Tables

We’ve added some simple sorting to tables that are not paged through many records, for instance the open opportunities table on the admin dashboard. Just click the column header to sort and each time you click the sort direction will be reversed.

There are also the normal smaller bug fixes and visual immprovements throughout the application. Many thanks to everyone that opens support tickets with ideas or lets us know if something isn’t working properly.

You’ll already be on the new release by the time you read this, so enjoy and get in touch if you have any comments.

Thanks, TeamKinetic
