Minor Changes and Bug Fixes
- Guest Area: when guests are viewing a booking, the access codes will now be visible 3 days before arrival
- Messaging: we are laying the groundwork for improvements around Guest messaging
- ICal availability syncing:
- we no longer render historical unavailability on our iCal availability feeds as it causes a problem on some OTAs
- This doesn't really serve any real purpose and confuses some consumers e.g. Pitchup who will mark past booking as being in conflict
- Owner Statements
- add a company name to invoices table and pull in from Users company name when state is changed
- we have updated the format of the calculation log a little to make it easier to read
- Damage Deposit
- fix a problem that sometimes caused a damage deposit reminder email not to be sent out
- Pricing
- If there is no base price, do not add on the fixed extras. This can make for really cheap stays when there is no base rate.
- Channel Manager:
- allow the reservation lookup to specify a Client instead of a Property. This allows for a move fuzzy match in the case of moving bookings to new properties
- Booking.com: reset all related settings when setting up an entry on join
- Rich Text Editor: We have upgraded the WYSIWYG HTML editor inside Bookster.
