We are pleased to announce that the following software bugs were fixed in this release:
- Corrected an issue with new guests added without the “live” flag set. Now, when a new Guest is added they will automatically be set live.
- Corrected an issue when adding a booking to a Group after being created outside of a Group. Not all of the guest information would be saved with the guest record. All Guest information will now be automatically saved.
- Corrected an issue where a User’s account may have IP filtering enabled, without IP filtering being setup for the property level, preventing the user from logging in.
