August website Updates

[joefremont]

I have updated the website with some new features.

You can now log in with your email as well as your username. Internally much of the security system has been updated including the way passwords are stored to make them more secure.

Password reset is also updated, instead of a new password being set you are sent an update link via email that will allow you to update it.

You can now control which days of the week your routes can be used. New VA setting '"Observe day of week for routes", if set to true you can only book a route if the route has that day of the week set. It uses UTC time to determine which day of the week it is.

You can also add a custom message to be sent when a pilot earns automatic promotion through the rank system, you can set the text in the rank settings page for the pilots current rank.

In the V1 XML VA interface, the functions that required you to send a hashed password for the pilot have all been disabled as they won't work with the new password system. But they should all work in the V2 interface.

I Sam, Good to see you back, we have greatly missed you and your wisdom.

I looked at your old username, it looked fine. It was probably your password it did not like but I don't know what that was.

Been a long summer dealing with mom (Alzheimer's) - having to finally get her into Assisted Living. Father Time is kind to no one.

Sorry to hear that Sam, I know how difficult that can be. I have an aunt who has Alzheimer’s and it’s quite sad. I hope for the best for you and your Mom.
