Release Notes – 2023.01.05

Highlights

• Testdrive Process Infrastructure Upgrade
  A much needed complete redesign and rewrite of how account management processes (testdrive, activation, etc) works on the back end. In coming months we will use this new infrastructure to replace and enhance many (or all) of these systems. In this release, however, we are going to keep things focused on ensuring the fundamentals are all there and working as expected, and so we will be rolling out a rewrite of the back end of the testdrive process only. The front end user experience should remain mostly the same, allowing us to put all our energy into making sure the results of the process implemented on this new infrastructure are as expected and correct.
• Featured Locations Nav Link Ordering
  As part of the ongoing feature enhancements to featured locations that have come about as part of the Flex content project, this release will add new functionality to the nav menu. A special nav menu item can now be configured to automatically display links to featured locations, with options to make use of the recently added featured location favorites system.
• Improvements to Bad Email Handling
  Although a bit less visible outside of the technical team, we’ve made some important improvements to how Elite and TurboLeads communicate when emails we attempt to send bounce back, allowing both applications to make better choices when this happens. 
• Keyword Remapping
  Mapping keywords and making sure the keyword search lookup tables keep up with changes that MLSes make to their data specifications is a regular maintenance task, but the last few months (and this month in particular) have seen an extremely large number of MLSes make changes to how they provide us data, which has generated a LOT of work to ensure our keyword search feature continues to have fresh, up to date data to work with. While engineering manages various technical aspects around the edges, the majority of this work is done by a team of diligent, detail oriented folks from around the company, and I wanted to make sure we take a moment to recognize and thank them for their efforts in general, but especially for how well they have tackled this tremendous influx of work. Thank you Alysha, Avery, and Nicholas — you’re amazing, and I’m so glad to have your help!
