Major Changes From V1.10

.

Base System

  • Keyboard navigation shortcuts/hotkeys!
    • Users can now use Alt key combinations to navigate quickly to certain parts of Freemed-YiRC. For more information, please see the keyboard shortcuts article. This is selectable per user via the My Preferences menu option at the bottom of a users main menu.
  • Major core code upgrades. A lot of work has gone into updating some of the core Freemed-YiRC source code, as parts of this date back to 1999. A major focus of this has been to prepare for the future release of PHP version 6.
  • Support for Internet Explorer 8.
    • The newest version of the Microsoft Internet Explorer web browser attempts to adhere much better to established web standards. However, in order for it to do this properly, web application designers have to explain to Internet Explorer 8 that their application expects IE8 to do this properly! Freemed-YiRC V1.20 does this and should reduce and/or eliminate any issues users who were using Freemed-YiRC with IE8 were having (i.e., premature session ending, being logged off).
    • All agencies and users are still highly encouraged to switch to a web browser which has much better support for web standards such as Mozilla Firefox.
  • The Group Menus now have a selected resident option.
    • Previously, if you were to switch between modules on a given group menu but were still working with information relating to the same resident, you had to select that resident's name each time you entered a module. No longer! Freemed-YiRC V1.20 introduces the ability to select a resident right on the group menu. Then, when entering a group menu module which relates to specific residents, the resident selection screen will be bypassed. For users upgrading from Freemed-YiRC V1.10, this may require changing a new module setting (group_menu_use_selected_res).
