October Release
This release includes a new auto-allocation process that we had been asked to look at by one of our contractors. Once upon a time, they used to have Opti-time to allocate all their work, and have been asking us to look at the feasibility for a simple version of that every couple of years. We worked with them on a fairly straight-forward set of rules, and turned it in to an automated process.
Other changes this release include a major overhaul of how we generate our job history, and a really easy to use method for cloning engineers (not in the real world, just in the database!). We also have the usual range of minor feature tweaks, and a couple of bug fixes.
