Release Notes – 2023.03.16

March 16, 2023

Highlights

  • New infrastructure for New York regulatory link management
    New York requires agents to include links to special documents as part of regulations to support fair housing practices. While these links have always been roughly analogous to the longstanding document links for Texas customers that we’ve had special application support for, the situation was just different enough that the New York links were being handled ad hoc. With this release we’ve updated and enhanced the infrastructure that supported the Texas use case so that it can now properly support the New York case (and any future states that may add similar regulations) as well, and added new tools in the Flex content editing system specifically targeted towards addressing the unique aspects of the New York case.
