1.0.20

We are delighted to share with you the list of features we have in store for our clients for the November 2023 Official Release. With the improved quality and enhanced options, you will now have a better HRP experience.

The list identifies significant features and fixes we have worked on for the past few months. We have made improvements in the features of our HRP.

Before deploying the new update, HRP 1.0.20, it is recommended that you perform the following steps for best results:

1. Secure and create your latest backup before you start any deployment for the new update. Just in case you encounter errors, at least you have backup to restore your database back from where you stopped.
2. It is important that you disconnect all workstations from the main server while the deployment of the latest updates is ongoing.
3. Put it into practice before you deploy any new update into production, make sure that you have conducted your testing of the new package into your training database.
4. Double check appsettings, appsettings.production, appsettings.local, & app.env before running Accounts, API (except HRP-API), Hangfire & WEB. Compare your current files to the latest release.
