Version 1.42 build 5
15-Oct-04

• Now it is easier to see who is available for events. Only those people available for the active events are visible in the role members panel (user selectable on the Role Member right-click menu)
  
• The SMTP email functionality has been re-written from the ground up for reliability and speed. It also gives instant feedback as to the progress for each message sent, and allows multiple simultaneous connections for faster message sending (especially useful for broadband connections)
• Added ability to import and export of people's valid events. This also automatically creates the events themselves if they don't exist, but you still need to configure the events

• Added new "Enforced Break Applies between members" checkbox. If ticked then the Enforced Break not only applies to each individual in the group (or household), but also BETWEEN each of the individuals in the group (or household)
• Fixed problem with reporting: if an Event in the main page was not ticked then it was ignored in reports no matter what event was ticked in report screen.
• Reports now remember the date range, if the dates are not the same as the roster period
