Release Recaps

Beginning with this newsletter, SSDT has provided a new link under the "Useful Links" section containing a 'release recap' of new features, improvements and enhancements that took place in the prior month's USAS, USPS and Inventory applications. SSDT releases new software changes every two weeks and includes, with the changes, release notes detailing the JIRA issues involved. However, the release notes are listed in separate areas on the wiki per the application they are referencing. We felt the end-user and ITC staff would appreciate one document containing details of what was released in the prior month for all applications. If you process payroll for your district, you can easily refer to the USPS-R Releases section for a recap of what changed in the payroll software last month. An ITC staff member will appreciate the ability to review the entire document to gain a better understanding of what took place in all applications last month to better assist their districts.

Displayed below is a snippet of the January release recap link. A table is included for each application including the release date, version, and type of release (regular or hotfix). The version number will include a direct link to the existing release notes in the wiki. Listed below each table is an easy-to-understand summarization of what took place, broken down by the type of change - bug fix, improvements, new features, and patches. With so many changes taking place in the software every release, we thought a monthly recap would provide an easy way to help keep you up to date with what's going on in the applications.

Please view the Current List of Districts & Status to see a comprehensive list of school districts along with their ITC, implementation status and the wave they are scheduled to migrate from Classic to Redesign.

The following terminology is used to determine where in the implementation process the entity is currently at:

Implementing: The ITC is running test imports and balancing reports on the entity. The district and ITC are working to schedule dates to begin dual processing and go live.
Paralleling: The entity is inputting all production transactions into both Classic and Redesign.
Live: The entity is using Redesign for production processing; no parallel processing is being performed; Classic is available in 'read-only' mode.
