Upcoming Release and Roadmap for Q1-Q2 2024
We have a list of new exciting releases planned for 2024, bringing you new features, more quick tools and better user experience.
To start the new year, our team is ready to bring you a few releases in January that will add better workflows and improved usability to your ITP Revisions and Approvals. Make sure that you check out our ‘Manage ITP revision” article ( link provided below) for the upcoming release.
January – release ~23/1/24.
- ITP Revisions* – ITPs can now have multiple versions, including drafts. For the full workflow on managing your ITP revisions, please refer to our Helpcenter article: Manage Inspection Test Plan (ITP) Revisions
- Number formatting for templates – principally to support cases where numeric padding is desired – e.g. Approval 0005 rather than Approval 5
- Deployment pipeline upgrade for Cloud – though you won’t see any difference in the app, we have totally re-written our deployment pipeline to provide additional automatic testing on our deployments.
*NOTE: As part of the ITP Revisions feature, we will be changing the database schema. This means that all desktop apps will need to be the latest version. For most users this will not be an issue as the autoupdater will deliver the latest version, however any desktop installs that are not updated will be prevented from logging in.
We are aware that recent Microsoft Windows updates have impacted some corporate networks ability to recognize updates, so have made an automated uninstall/reinstall should it be required. Please note that this will only be necessary for desktop users where the autoupdate is prevented from getting the latest version. It can be accessed at: https://download.civilpro.com/cd/reinstaller/v11Reinstall.html
