Release Notes – 2021.07.08

Highlights

• Text encoding fixes
  Parts of this were actually e-release during the last cycle, but several fixes and enhancements have been made to ensure better handling of special characters (such as the currently popular “star” character) and foreign language characters in custom text fields. There is still an open request to improve support for other multibyte UTF-8 characters — primarily emojis — which has proven more difficult, and remains a to do item.
• PPC fixes
  A variety of bugs fixes and tweaks were made to the new PPC system.
• Php7 server upgrades
  We’ve been putting “canary” servers into the production pool for short periods of time in order to surface issues without disrupting our customer's user experience. We're still working through some major database connection issues.

Updates

• Agent roster pages: tile view by default
  Updated default page_format to "tile" instead of "list". Will only affect newly created AgentRosterPages.
• Migrate system to use the new Google Cloud Storage library
• Child Account Surcharges Are Not Being Waived
  Surcharges correctly waved on clone website
• PPC Admin - Do not create Featured Locations
  Going forward, we only create the 2nd (featured location) version of the ad if the featured location already exists (we are NOT saving new featured locations from the Ads Manager anymore).
• MWS: Change Agent Express Package
  Revised the “free trial” link for the Agent Express package on the Marketing Website pricing page. It now pre-selects package 11 instead of 10 (Agent Pro instead of Express) since testdrives should always have IDX, and can be downgraded to express if necessary
• PPC: Admin Menu Sidebar Links
  Added “PPC Admin” sidebar links where appropriate inside the Admin Menu (only when BETA flag enabled)
• PPC: $100.02 > $100 = over budget
  Going forward, daily PPC campaign budgets will be rounded down so that the total monthly amount is always less than or equal to the budgeted amount. This way, we never go over the budget they entered.
