What has changed

Feature requests

• Put a transport you are driving on your own website: where it starts and ends, the day, and the crates still free, so somebody who has never heard of us can see there is room.
• Choose who sees each run you offer, the rescues you are linked to or anybody at all, and change your mind afterwards. Everything you have already posted stays with your partners until you say otherwise.
• Send a stranger at one of your own forms, or at a page you already use, to ask about space on a public run. What they send arrives in your submissions, where you read it and enter the booking yourself.
• The same list of runs on a site you run elsewhere: pick the transport space from the code builder under your public site, and paste one line into your own page.
• Somebody named on the Public Registry can now answer the listing about them, from a page on our own site, with no account. What they send is confirmed by email before it reaches anybody.
• A listing only your rescue can see is yours to answer: read their account beside what you wrote, then revoke the listing or say it stands and why. A listing shared with the network goes back to the rescues that reviewed it.
• Reports: ask how many animals by species, size, status or the month they arrived, or add up adoption fees, and read the answer as a table. Download it as a spreadsheet, and save the question for next time so anybody here can run it.
• The demo rescue at demo.rescueconsole.com has a website of its own: fourteen animals looking for a home, the events coming up, an open silent auction, a campaign with gifts against it, and a transport run. It is rebuilt every night, and so are its name, its hours and its address.
• The Public Registry finds a near miss now: a flag whose phone, microchip or email is one digit or two letters from a record you hold is matched and marked as close, not exact. And when a flag matches your record, its page shows the identifier it matched on, so you can compare the two and decide.
• Anybody can now book the space you publish, from your website: they choose the crates and services, pay by card there if you take cards (paid is booked), or say how they will pay and confirm their email, and the ask lands in Transport Space for you to accept or turn down.
• The vehicle on a run can now be named: the year, the make and the model from lists, the colour, and the plate; the run sheet prints it under the heading, so whoever is waiting at a place they have never been knows which van to look for.
• Shared transport: the price list lives under Settings, Animal management, Transport services; an offer says what a crate of each size comes with, required or optional and priced per size; a partner's ask and a stranger's booking are priced from it, per crate.

Enhancements

• A safety flag naming an address nobody could match is refused before it is filed, and the address is written back the way the post office writes it.
• A table in an email now reads as label and value: each row is its first cell in bold with a colon, then the rest of the row, so a pasted fee list or schedule arrives as Adoption: $150 rather than cells divided by a pipe.
• An organization name or web address that includes an obscenity or a slur is refused, at signup and in Settings. The check reads whole words, so a rescue in Scunthorpe or Cumbria, or named for a Cassidy, is not caught by a letter inside its own name.
• A transport run no longer asks for a name and an address at each end: give the address, or a saved place, and the name is taken from it (City, Region). A name you type still wins.
• A round trip that ends somewhere else is no longer an error to fix. The far end you give is the turnaround: the run ends where it started and two legs are made for you, out and back, driven by the run's driver, ready to add to.
• Who to ring at each end of a transport, and at every leg and saved place, can now be picked from your people, which fills the name and the number; and a name you type can be added to People from there, so the clinic's receptionist is on file next time.
• Offering space on a run no longer asks you to count crates the run already knows: pick the run and the crates are filled in from what the van holds less what your own animals take, with the sum shown, and yours to change if you are keeping some back.
• Where a transport starts and ends, and each end of a leg, is picked from your locations, your organizations and your saved places in one search that fills the name, the address, who to ring and the kind of place, or from an organization you add on the spot from a side panel.
• The PetSmart cage card puts the QR code, the sponsors' logos and the photo in one band along the bottom, so Neat things to know about me gets the height, and prints a thin frame at the card's edge to cut along.
• Transports: an end of a run is the place as picked, with Change beside it and no name box; Add leg is filled in from the run and the leg before it; a leg's times are a date, an hour and a minute; the vehicle card asks once what is being driven; the booking page no longer wraps a word a line.
• Every word you read in the app, on your public site and in its messages is spelled the American way: color, behavior, center, check, license, canceled. A guard keeps it that way.

Bug fixes

• A rescue that never opened Settings and pressed Save on its animal statuses published nothing on its website, however many animals it marked public. Every rescue has its statuses from the day it signs up now, and the ones that never saved have them from tonight.
• The demo account has no Public Registry, and cannot invite anybody, add a webhook or create an API key: each of those reaches somebody outside the demo. Invitations are also capped at twenty an hour for every rescue.
• A registry flag used to be checked only against the people and animals you held on the day it was filed. Somebody you add or correct afterwards is now checked against the flags already on file, within the hour, and you are told the same way.
• The run sheet gets its times right on a round trip: each stop shows when the van arrives there and when it leaves, in that order, worked out from the legs in sequence rather than from the stop's name, and the last stop no longer says a next leg is driven.
• Printing a run sheet, or any other page, no longer carries the header and the breadcrumb trail onto the paper.
