Fixes:
- Incorrect date handling of times spanning the user preferred start time, fixed.
- News feed corrupted, this has been fixed

Coming Soon:
- Multiple artist view in Calendar, for management of multiple artists, particularly useful to Artist Reps and booking agents.

In this release we are looking to improve the date handling functions. Particularly those of bookings that fall on the 'day start time'.

Fixes:
- Refactored date conversion utilities now more efficient
- Booking query would incorrectly calculate dates at day start time
- Rosters would display same booking on multiple days
- maintains viewed calendar month while navigating from Calendar to Roster and back
- added "this weeks" booking list to profile home page
- added upload demo (x3) to artist profile

Release Beta 0.9-02: Site has been updated with some new features and fixes.

New Features:
- New JavaScript Calendar, much faster interface/interaction
- Added Edit/Modify Locations for Artist Rosters
- Added Schedule/Roster Sync over CalDav - with preference for calendar or modified time sending. You can now Sync directly with Google Calendar and iCal
- Venues/Agents can now validate an entire roster and get instant feedback on Artist status
- Venues and Agents can also adjust rosters and test validation before committing the changes

Fixes:
- Send Booking Requests for Venues/Agents now sets booking status to "Pending"

Release Beta 0.9-01

This version has had a major overhaul of the underlying roster and booking system. With a whole new, more interactive, and easier to use calendar supported by enhanced validation functionality.

The latest version of Bookedtoplay.com is efficiently checking your bookings as you generate a new roster.

Artists can now set a booking status independently to the an availability setting. This means you can accept a booking while still being open to more requests for the same period. It also means you can create your own booking and mark it as unavailable so that you will appear unavailable to other users.

Additionally, all of the major functionality issues associated with Internet Explorer have been resolved. There is still a way to go and we remain vigilant in keeping on-top of any issues we become aware of. We still suggest you download and install the Firefox browser (or any Mozilla based browser) to ensure continued support and functionality.

A few problems that appeared with the first release of Bookedtoplay.com have now been fixed.
These were functional errors only. There are still some issues with the CSS styling inconsistencies across the different browsers, particularly Internet Explorer.

For now the website is being developed and tested to work in the following browsers:
Firefox (v2/3) on Mac/PC
Safari (Mac)
Opera (Mac)
Internet Explorer 7 - some minor, yet annoying, problems to do with dynamic javascript.

There is a new skin being developed that should solve most of the styling problems that exist with Internet Explorer. A workaround is sort for the javascript problems. For now it is recommended that users do not use Internet Explorer with this wesbite. We recommend Firefox on all platforms.

It has happened, after many months of work, the first version of Bookedtoplay.com has been launched for some confined user acceptance testing.

* This is a Beta release version, no warranty or guarantee is provided to users of the website.
