| 30/10/2010 | Updated mail functionality so emails can now be sent with attachments. |
| 28/10/2010 | Added type to templates (this is currently either 'Clinic' or 'Job'). This allows the template dropdown list to be filtered depending if it's being used in the clinic or job list. |

| 04/01/2010 | 3.3.0 released. |
| 29/12/2009 | Implemented 'time difference' functionality. This allows a user or organisation to have a different time than the server. This is very useful if you're hosting the application on a server who's time is different to the users (e.g. hosting in UK for an application primarily used in America). In the case of STS there is no time difference so everything will appear unchanged. |
| 29/12/2009 | Updated template processor to replace the reserved markers (%NOWDATE%, %NOWDATETIME%, %NOWTIME%) anywhere in the data, not just those inside the repeater section. |
| 27/12/2009 | Added messages functionality. Messages can be sent to users (via the users admin screen) and will appear when they login. |

| 25/12/2009 | Made global changes across application to include the logged in user when calling all stored procedures. This change will be required when auditing is implemented and getting it done now will make life easier later. |

| 09/10/2009 | 3.2.2 released. |

| 07/10/2009 | Added voucher codes to analysis patient export. |
| 07/10/2009 | Updated so that the site is automatically redirected to httpS if http. |

| 04/10/2009 | Added an export for the calculation results at the individual patient level (see above). At the moment it is not clear where the export should be in the UI so for short term it is hidden and is only accessible if the url includes a parameter called 'patientbreakdown' (the value of this parameter is irrelevant). |
| 04/10/2009 | Added export button for patient breakdown on analysis page. |
| 03/10/2009 | Extended the dashboard grid to be able to collapse just like the lists. |
| 03/10/2009 | Updated patient test so that the user picks whether the test amount is the upper band, lower band or other. In the case of 'other' the user enters the amount explicitly. |
| 02/10/2009 | 3.1.7 released. |
| 02/10/2009 | Added 'Clinic job summary' list. This helps to ascertain when jobs for a particular clinic home are all ready for delivery. |
| 02/10/2009 | Extended the dashboard lists so that the user can collapse the lists they don't want to see. This not only helps the user to focus on the lists that they are most interested in but improves performance as the collapsed lists do very little work. Collapsed lists can still be exported and will also persist across sessions. |
| 01/10/2009 | Added default search of "Active = 'Yes'" for the home patients list. |
| 23/09/2009 | 3.1.5 released. |
| 23/09/2009 | Removed 'DV & NV' option from job vision. |

| 23/09/2009 | Updated the css to look better in IE6. |

| 16/09/2009 | 3.1.0 released. |
| 16/09/2009 | Updated the 'income breakdown' analysis page so that the income is broken down into clinic and one-off sections. |

| 14/09/2009 | Added date controls to Analysis page. |
| 13/09/2009 | 2.9.7 released. |
| 13/09/2009 | Further changes to the analysis page: i) altered the data columns in the grid to more useful ones ii) the analysis grid only shows rows which have at least one non-zero value iii) added image map to chart. This allows the user to click on a month in the year chart to display that single month. The user can click any bar in the month chart to return to the year iv) coloured any columns in the analysis grid the same as their colour in the chart. This makes the link between the chart and the grid far more intuitive v) added income breakdown chart. This currently cannot be accessed until the options table is created. |
| 13/09/2009 | 2.9.5 released. |
| 13/09/2009 | Extended analysis page to look more consistent with other pages. Added buttons to allow the user to choose 'summary' or 'breakdown'. Still need to add the controls to allow the user to choose a date. |
| 12/09/2009 | Fixed bug in 'Tests by month' grid where patients belonging to inactive homes were being included in the results. |
| 11/09/2009 | 2.9.0 released. |
| 10/09/2009 | Added 'alternative amount' to patient sight test details. |

| 10/09/2009 | To display the calculation engine results there is now a chart component. |
| 10/09/2009 | Built an income calculation engine. This can work out the income for any specified duration on a day-to-day basis. |
| 05/09/2009 | Replaced 'deceased' with 'active' (where active is equal to not being deceased) for patients. |
| 05/09/2009 | Removed 'deceased' col from patient lists and replaced with home postcode. |
| 01/09/2009 | 2.8.6 released. |
| 01/09/2009 | Job now has a Pending status. This indicates if it is currently only a recommendation with the patient. |
| 01/09/2009 | Added Menu item for Pending Jobs. |
| 01/09/2009 | Job reference is now auto-generated. This ensures it is unique and has a consistent format. |

| 01/09/2009 | The Job lists now have a bulk status update function. |

| 09/08/2009 | Updated most list exports to export more data. Home and PCT lists now contain address data. |
| 09/08/2009 | Extended list control so that the columns exported can differ to those displayed in the list. This allows the addresses for homes to be exported even though they do not appear in the list. |
| 31/07/2009 | 2.7.5 released. |
| 31/07/2009 | A few extra changes to Orders: i) renamed 'Lens' to 'Vision' ii) renamed Lens notes text box to 'Lens' iii) added 'Frame' text box. |

| 23/07/2009 | Added the framework for orders. An order links to a patient and optionally a sight test (which in turn links to a clinic). Still need to finalise the fields of an order but there is enough there at the moment to make it useful. |
| 23/07/2009 | Changed the names of status's and fixed types from always being uppercase to normal case. |
| 21/07/2009 | Updated form field controls to extract the posted values on demand without the need of the validate function being called first. This fixes a bug in the menu hints occasionally going wrong. |
| 21/07/2009 | Changed the calendars and scheduler to appear more consistent with the list. Now the caption displays the title and the date selector is in the action bar (the grey bar below the caption). |
| 21/07/2009 | Updated the action icons on the list, calendars and schedulers to be more consistent (green background with white border). |
| 20/07/2009 | Extended the clinic status's to have a 'Processing' state (this fits between 'Open' and 'Closed'). The user now clicks the 'Process' button of a clinic to lock the patients and to automatically create sight tests for all clinic patients. Once the user has processed the clinic they can click the 'Close' button. |
| 20/07/2009 | Added link from a patient sight test to the clinic that the test relates to (if there is a clinic). |
| 18/07/2009 | 2.0.0 released. |

| 14/07/2009 | 1.9.5 released. |
| 14/07/2009 | Removed the document upload from encrypting the file as well. |

| 12/07/2009 | 1.9.0 released. |

| 05/07/2009 | 1.8.0 released. |
| 05/07/2009 | Changed the appearance of the properties form. Also tidied some areas of the html, removing unnecessary elements. |
| 05/07/2009 | Put 'Patients' back into all clinics lists. |
| 04/07/2009 | Added 'Active' flag to home. This is equivalent to the 'Deceased' flag on a patient. |
| 04/07/2009 | Lists now show closed clinics, inactive homes and inactive patients (those who are deceased and/or belong to an inactive home) in grey. |
| 04/07/2009 | Inactive patients (patients who are deceased and/or belong to an inactive home) do not have a RAG status in the patient lists. |
| 04/07/2009 | Modified the duration control so that the displayed values are more user friendly. The values now show the unit name (e.g. '10 minutes') and for large durations the hours / minutes are displayed (e.g. '1 hour 30 minutes'). |
| 04/07/2009 | Made the information in the clinic and home month calendars more consistent with the scheduler. The clinic and home month calendars now show the patient count. |
| 04/07/2009 | Updated the month calendar to have the same highlighting logic as the day calendar and the scheduler. |
| 03/07/2009 | 1.6.2 released. |
| 03/07/2009 | Added 'Number of patients' readonly info to Clinic and Home properties. |
| 03/07/2009 | The login page now also uses an email if there is one in the url (value name is email). This is useful when dealing with multiple user accounts as one can setup different shortcuts to the site with different emails in the url. |
| 02/07/2009 | 1.6.0 released. |
| 02/07/2009 | Changed default search to 'home' in Clinic Prospects list. |
| 02/07/2009 | Removed 'Patients' from 'all clinics' list. This allows the underlying view to execute a lot faster. |
| 02/07/2009 | Updated clinic export: i) now sorts by clinic start, home, surname and then forename ii) renamed 'LASTTEST' to 'LASTTESTDATE' iii) added 'CLINICTIME' and 'LASTTESTTIME'. |
| 02/07/2009 | Added direct select dropdowns to calendars and scheduler. If javascript is disabled then the dropdowns are not shown. |
| 01/07/2009 | 1.5.0 released. |
| 01/07/2009 | Added framework for settings at an Organisation and User level. The constants used for settings have now been replaced with a database table. These settings are retrieved and cached when the user logs in. One of these settings relates to the theme (the presentation of the application - stylesheets, images). Re-organised the presentation files so that there is now a default theme directory. New companies will get a copy of this directory which they can then customise. |
| 01/07/2009 | Did some optimisation on the patient lists. Patient queries are now executing approximately three times faster. |
| 01/07/2009 | Fixed bug in Clinic close where the notes for the auto-generated patient sight tests were not using 24hr time so it was not clear if say, 07:30 is either am or pm. Time is now in 24hrs. |
| 30/06/2009 | The validation errors on the form now link to their respective fields. This means the user can now click on an error message and the cursor will focus on the field which produced the error. In the case of no javascript the form is scrolled to ensure the field is visible (standard anchor functionality). |
| 30/06/2009 | Removed 'deleted' status from clinics. When the user deletes a clinic now it is permanently removed from the database. The user can however only delete open clinics. |
| 30/06/2009 | Added document repository. Allows the user to store useful documents online. |
| 29/06/2009 | Added the concept of organisations. An organisation is a container for all data belonging to a particular company / client. A user belonging to an organisation will only ever see the data relating to that organisation. |
| 29/06/2009 | Improved the robustness of the application when the user attempts to manually modify the url. |
| 29/06/2009 | Added account status to user. This value also inherits from its organisation (therefore disabling all users belonging to an organisation can be done by simply modifying the organisation account status). |
| 27/06/2009 | Added footer. This displays the version and copyright text. |
| 27/06/2009 | Updated the day_calendar so that it attempts to reduce the number of empty cells by creating spans. |
| 27/06/2009 | 1.0.0 released. |
