Release notes 
Continuous improvement
Our release policy is to release a new version as soon as we have new functionality ready for production use. We don't 'save up' lots of changes and new features for a 'big' release. This way you get to use the latest software as soon as we have fully tested it, and it saves you from having to catch up with lots of changes at one time.
The release notes below highlight recent functional changes to the system. Other changes that don't affect the way you use the system (such as efficiency gains) are not normally noted, to keep the list as clear as possible. Updates are always backwards compatible with existing sites.

| 24 November 2005 Sale View - quantity box Added a quantity box to the Sale View. (Previously if a user wanted to purchase multiple of one item, they would have to add one to the cart, and change the quantity in the cart)
|
| | 23 November 2005 Flyout navigation - handling of redirects and new windows Flyout navigation links which target pages which have redirects on them now open in a new window if specified. (Previously they would always open in the same window, regardless of the setting in the target page)
|
| | 16 November 2005 Forms - Creation page referer datatype Added the Creation Page Referer datatype - which contains the url of the page which the user was one immediately before visiting the Form. This can be used to create 'Email a page to a friend' functionality, or feedback forms which automatically identify the page the user is writing about.
|
| | 16 November 2005 Head Scripts setting Added a setting to the Behavior Editor for all components that allows a custom script to be embedded in the HTML HEAD section. This is useful for adding code needed to integrate with systems like Google Analytics.
|
| | 10 November 2005 Forms - Multi-form links - custom sequencing per-record Added the ability to define, on a per-record basis, the sequence in which the options will be displayed in a Form (previously they had always been shown alphabetically)
|
| | 8 November 2005 Site Manager - site-wide email BCC Added the ability to define, on a per-site basis, an email address to receive blind copies of all emails generated by the system - useful for monitoring and troubleshooting.
|
| | 2 September 2005 Forms - Formlink field - Hash entry format Added the ability to set Formlink fields to be set to use a Hash entry method (as opposed to allowing selection from a dropdown list or a picker). The Hash permits users who know the Hash (and only them) from selecting the item - so the Hash can be used as a kind of permission token.
|
| | 7 July 2005 Forms - Product Family datatype for e-commerce Added the ability to allow e-commerce purchasers to select product sub-options (which may affect the overall price). For example, if purchasing a computer, selecting the CPU and memory configurations. Options can be flexibly defined, and display of options can be subject to stock control.
|
| | 20 June 2005 Shopping Cart - Sales View - Stock control Added stock control funtionality. Items placed in baskets are removed from stock totals shown in sale views. Items from abandoned baskets are returned to stock after a configurable timeout. When purchased, items are removed from underlying stock totals.
|
| | 9 June 2005 Performance component - unique visitor statistics Added the ability to view site usage statistics on a per-user basis (in addition to the previously available per-page basis)
|
| | 3 June 2005 Forms - Save as new record Added ability to allow an edited record to be saved as a duplicate record (without affecting the source record)
|
| | 1 June 2005 Shopping Cart - Charges and Taxes Added a powerful charging engine, allowing multiple charges - percentages, per item, per order, or in value bands - to be applied to orders. Supports sales taxes and shipping charges.
