Since our previous significant update to MIDAS back in July, we’ve been continuing to work hard during the global pandemic on our next update – v4.26.
One of our main focuses for v4.26 has been on replacing the aging calendar (date picker) “widget” that we’ve been using in our software since its inception. This 3rd party component hasn’t been developed or maintained by its original author for many years now. Whilst it has served us well since our very first release, in more recent years its limitations have become more apparent.
One of its limitations has been in relation to selecting multiple dates from the calendar when adding bookings. Traditionally, this involved holding down the Ctrl/Cmnd key on your keyboard whilst picking dates. This obviously put users without keyboards – those using smartphones and tablets – at a disadvantage!
For this, and other reasons we’re now switching to a more modern calendar “widget” for date selection in MIDAS.
Highlights of MIDAS v4.26 include:
- New: Calendar widget
- New: Export Users
- New: Entering a new password now optionally blocks it if it appears in any known global data breaches
- Improved: Exporting clients can now optionally only include clients with bookings over a given date range
- Improved: Invoice statistics can now be filtered by booking type
- Improved: Support for smaller screens
- Improved: Selecting multiple calendar dates on touch devices
- Improved: Contextual help
- Improved: Invoice rendering
