V5.2017 Update 05.3 Release Notes 1

Introduction This document contains an End User version of the Release Notes for the Bromcom MIS Software for Version 5. The Release Notes contain details of the latest updates, fixes and new features that have been implemented in this release. An enhancement is either an improvement we have added or a new feature. Some of these are user requested, but most are enhancements we make to improve the software. This document contains the Release Notes for V5.2017 Update 05.3 What is an Update? When an enhancement is requested or an issue is found, the details are sent to the Development Team. Once they have made the enhancement or fixed the issue an update is created. This update can contain one or many fixes, for one or many modules, it is then tested by the Testing team and released either to be included into the next Build, (if there is one imminent), or it is passed as an Update to be deployed by the Support Team who will contact you and arrange a mutually agreeable time to apply the Update. Each of the issues listed here has been fixed with the latest Update.
