Released on May 18, 2011
The version 4.2 release of Wild Apricot includes the following features.
Log of sent emails
Email log - both email blasts and automatic system emails (i.e. reminders, announcements, etc.) are now logged, and you can review the email text, recipients, record of opens and clicks, or re-send emails.
New customization capabilities for designers - Theme overrides
New CMS architecture brings new customization capabilities. Changes in this release are 'under the hood' - we hope web designers will appreciate new customization capabilities. Also, these changes will drive a redesign of user interface of our website management interface in the next version.
Timezone and time/date format customization
- Setting a time zone for your account - set a organization wide timezone or set event specific timezones to time the sending of email, and the display of various date sensitive information (i.e. Events).
- Customizable time/date format - set the format of how dates are displayed in your emails, events, blogs, forums, and more.
QuickBooks export
Quickbooks export - you can now export your contacts and financial transactions into Quickbooks.
