This deployment adds 8 pixels of padding around all the cardholder emails, so they would look better in email clients that don't add any padding such as Mac Mail.

We've done a lot of behind-the-scenes infrastructure upgrades that will improve our ability to scale the application easily. We've also fixed a few small bugs and added support for additional photos (e.g. government ID or signature).

As an early Christmas present, we are fixing some performance and stability issues with the bulk import system. In the process, we've not only made the bulk import more stable, we've also improved performance across the application. We are very pleased with this release and the improvements it contains.

We are really excited to release, just in time for Thanksgiving, automatic photo cropping. Most phone cameras produce really long, narrow photos that just won't fit in an ID card. Never fear -- our automatic cropping will take care of that for you, giving you an image that is perfect for an ID card.

2017.08.22 simply disables the Reports section of the CloudCard admin interface. The reporting system was responsible for some significant downtime recently, which is a major issue for us. Additionally, we've been concerned for some time that our Reports provide very little value to our customers, and we'd like to focus our maintenance efforts on features that provide lots of value.

If you're thinking "Reports? I didn't know you had those...", don't worry, you won't miss much. However, if you're thinking "Reports!? I need those!!!" then get in touch and let us know how you use our reports. At the very least, we may be able to provide those to you manually. More than that, your feedback will help us develop a set of reporting tools for CloudCard that give you truly meaningful and useful information.

2017.08.04 contains a few small updates:

• Simplified the photo submission workflow.

• Fixed a bug with "Flash Messages" (the on-screen messages that drop down from the top of the screen to indicate success or error of an action). In the past if you had one already showing, a new one wouldn't show, which would sometimes hide error messages.

• Made the photo submission pages look better on mobile devices.

• Fixed a bug in the drag and drop file uploader. If, as an office user, you uploaded a photo for a student using drag and drop, you would end up overwriting your own photo, rather than adding the student's photo. This now works as expected.

• As a major side benefit of fixing the above annoying bug, we've also made drag and drop available for bulk import -- you can now drag your csv file into CloudCard when on the bulk import screen.

• We've created an About page. It shows the current application version, as well as linking to these release notes. If the application needs to be reloaded, this page will let you know that too.

• We've also enabled the application to update without any interference from browser caching.

Today's release is pretty simple: it fixes a bug we discovered that caused custom fields to disappear. Everything should be back to normal now.

July 25, 2017

Here are the changes we've released today as CloudCard version 2017.07.25:

1. We've added an option to do a bulk import without sending welcome emails to the students who get imported. We'll be working on a way to select a bunch of students later on to send invitation emails to them in one go.

2. As a visual indicator of being able to turn off the emails, each user in the system now features a line indicating how many emails they have been sent. This won't be accurate for users already in the system, but for users you import or create from today on, you will be able to use that number to get an idea of what is going on. This feature is part of a broader idea we have to build a little email history list that will show you all the emails sent from CloudCard to a user. 

3. We've done a bunch of work on the editing tools to make them fit better on phone screens. Before the submit button was dropping off the page on a lot of devices, especially the iPhone 4, which was confusing to users. Now, the submit button is big and always available on the page. :)

4. Some backend architecture improvements and small bug fixes

June 15, 2017

CloudCard version 2017.06.15 includes some minor performance improvements. We also changed how quickly Helper Bot starts reviewing photos -- he now waits 10 minutes after a photo has been uploaded, so that he isn't reviewing photos that students are trying to edit.
