Version 1.1 Changelog and Release Date

Jan 11, 2016 — Last updated on Jan 19, 2024

The Beta release of v1.1 was rolled on 2nd January of 2016 and is doing pretty well so far. This version introduces a new responsive booking wizard which will enable customers to book appointments easily from their mobile devices.

There are also other important changes that will make Easy!Appointments more flexible and stable such as the drop of mod_rewrite which was causing various issues to different server environments that weren’t properly configured.

From now on administrators will be able to set a Google Analytics code which will be included in the booking page so that they can track their website visits in that page as well.

In extend the upcoming version includes optionally CAPTCHA validation for the booking wizard, various date formats and the ability to disable customer notifications, a setting which will enable users to use Easy!Appointments only as their company’s agenda.
