First Release 2023
Written by shevek 1 year agoHi everybody,
In an effort to keep the code driving BeWelcome maintainable and future proof the first release of the year 2023 focuses on rewrites of existing functionality.
- Rewritten most of the profile sub pages. This includes: Comments, Family & Friends, Forum Posts, Notes, Visitors, Preferences.
- Reset password moved into the members menu.
- Thanks to the remember me functionality a lot of people never needed to login. There the statistics gave the impression people do not use the site. This is now mitigated and any access to the site will be shown as 'Last Active'. (With the usual privacy precaution that we do not says when in the last week.).
- If you ever used the trips feature you saw that the location search there shows a small map along with the place and in general was more accurate than the other location search fields. Now the new location search is used in more places (Search for locations the most notable; but also if you need to change your own location because you moved will be a lot easier now).
- On the rewritten 'My preferences' page you will see a new preference to set the number of items on a page that shows a longer list. This setting is currently used on the profile pages only but might be used on other pages in the future as well.
- Lots of small improvements and updates for styles.
This was only possible with the help of many testers and people with opinions, so please leave some praise for them below.
Cheers,
shevek
