USAS-R v7.1.0-22 Release Notes

Summary

This is the second production release of the USAS Redesign software; the first release for version 7.1.0.  This release contains various bug fixes, additional template reports, improvements to existing reports and UI performance improvements.  We've also started work on implementing Account Change and a scheduling service that will enable us to implement MonthlyCD and FiscalCD.

A hotfix or quick-fix is typically a single change that addresses a problem in the software.  Hotfixes are made to address a specific concern and provide a quick solution.

General information about all of the features available in USAS-R can be found in our USAS Documentation. There is a section in the documentation that also details the significant changes between USAS-R and classic USAS.
