Infrastructure Release

Quickly on the heels of 4.4 is release 4.5. This one is mostly filled with uninteresting things that make the back end hum better and fix bugs.

Donation Emails

You can now customize the email sent to donors under Settings-Global Settings. Then click on the Donation tab.  

Tunes to Add Production 
The add production wizard was not as robust as it needed to be. Now you can no longer delete shows if there are already reservations for it. It also validates that you’ve entered the data more rigorously.

Ticket Locks 
I added this feature for discount codes, but now your shopping cart is good for 15 minutes. As long as your patron keeps clicking around their tickets will be good, but if they go off to cook dinner and come back their cart will be empty.
Previously if people were fast enough the last few tickets for a show could be sold to multiple people. That won’t happen anymore.
Patrons will get a message that the show is almost sold out if there are still unbought tickets in others carts. They can refresh the page to see if those tickets revert to un-bought or if the show sells out completely.
If this is greek to you, don’t worry. This is more than likely how you expect things to work.

As always you can see all the bug fixes in the Release Notes. And please don’t hesitate to contact me if there’s anything you need help with.
