LibCal

  • We're introducing a new "Agenda" widget view for Events.
  • We've added a new feature for copying hours in the Hours module.
  • We've added a new API endpoint for Billing data, to help with reconciliation in 3rd party systems.
  • Coming Soon: We're on the cusp of introducing a new public Spaces UI, which you can preview and opt-in to using in your site. This new, mobile-first public experience is search based, so users will search for the date and time they'd like to reserve, and can then complete the booking process without any reliance on the current availability grid.

LibStaffer

  • We've added a new user availability option for "Work from Home"! This new option allows your staff to indicate days on which they're working from home. This status is treated as "available" in the system, but is visually distinct when scheduling, so schedulers can assign staff who are working from home to appropriate shifts.
  • We've made lots of improvements to the Shift Timeline View! We've improved various elements such as scrolling and the initial data display.
