Getting Closer to v1.6.2

without comments

fall country roadThis release is coming very quickly after v1.6.1 (less than 3 weeks). There are only a few minor updates for this release in addition to a major restructuring effort to streamline software updates and patch releases.

Our clients will not really notice any difference in the working or functionality of their site as we fully implement v1.6.2 but will notice a system that has an increased updatability for our programing staff.

  • Email system updated for faster sending, and wider emails (from 550px to 700px)
  • Several database queries were re-written for speed improvements
