This version incorporates core technology updates that improve both the speed and performance of Aproove and lays the groundwork for Aproove to incorporate significant new features during the rest of 2021 and beyond.
Of course, we could not make a release without some new visible features, so we are pleased to announce some significant enhancements to the tag functionality, including the ability to automate "hidden tags" that can enhance searching and filtering.
After consultation with our customer base, Aproove has changed the way that we number our releases. As a SaaS company, Aproove can release anywhere between 8-12 times per year.
For ease, all future versions will start with the year, e.g., 2021, then the release number for that year (a year being January-January).
The release we are posting today is the fourth release this year, and therefore it will be named the 2021/R4 version.
The 2021/R4 version of Aproove is a significant release that incorporates core system updates throughout the software. The release has some new functionality (explained below); however, the core system updates to PHP, Apache and the backend database will dramatically improve speed and performance in this release.
Due to the nature of this upgrade it has undergone some of the most intense testing and QA ever undertaken at Aproove. However, it is vital for all Enterprise customers to test all workflow scenarios upon upgrade.
The Aproove Customer Success team will be in touch over the coming weeks to arrange your upgrade.
