v5.24 Is Coming - The Good News and Bad News

So, at the end of this week, v5.24 will be rolled out. v5.24 brings with it a bunch of bug fixes, and an even larger bunch of new functionality. That's the good news.

The bad news is that two very large pieces of v5.24 have been postponed until v5.25 - Tutorials and the Job Board. There are many reasons for why this is happening, and not the least of which is timing. My goal was to have v5.24 done by the end of September, and Tutorials is such a huge new section of the site that it's taking too long to meet that goal. Work on the Job Board hasn't even begun, yet.

The reason for the end of September deadline is the fact that I will be away for two weeks, out of country, in early October. v5.24 brings with it not just new features and bug fixes for you, but new administrative tools for staff; tools that need to be in place before I leave. Being out of town does not mean that I will be away from the site. I will still be checking in daily.

So, once I return from my trip, Tutorials and the Job Board will be my primary focus for completing and rolling out for v5.25.

Fun fact: You can always see what work has been done on the site, and when, by clicking the version number in the site footer.
