Guides, references, and the running record of what's new in the dispatch console.

Release Notes

Added a Documentation page (this page) with release notes, reachable from the version number in the corner and from the user menu.
Dispatch center admins can now see each member's email address on the dispatch center admin screen.
Fixed the Settings menu so it works in admin mode (it previously bounced to the login page); it no longer appears as a dead link on the dispatch-center selection screen, where settings cannot yet be saved.

Active weather warning polygons now appear on the unit dashboard map, color-coded by alert type.
New setting to switch the order of the incident entry fields (Reporting Party / Description / Location) between the ham-radio and telephone workflows.
Units can be given a geographic service area; the incident screen now flags units whose service area covers the incident's location.

Bulk-import units from a CSV or JSON file on the dispatch center admin page.
Geocode and map a unit's location directly from the unit form.
Dispatch center admins can copy a center's configuration — including its map — to another deployment.

New incident reminder/tickler feature with pop-up alerts at the scheduled time.
A reporting party entered with a trailing period (for example "BOB.") now creates that unit automatically.
Unit notes can be added and are shown on the map (hover or click) and on the unit list.
New setting to choose the order of the unit status buttons.
Dispatch center cloning was generalized and the dispatch center admin screen reorganized.
Map routes can now be edited, their line width adjusted, and they fade out as an event progresses.
Fixed re-opening an incident not refreshing the list of available units.
Fixed the mobile map not staying hidden when toggled off.
Fixed an error that prevented saving dispatch center member changes.
Fixed route closure points snapping to the wrong vertex on the first update.

The dispatch center map is now copied automatically when a new center is created from an existing one.

Weather warnings are now plotted as polygons on the map.
Map warning polygons link through to their alert details.
Improved weather-alert handling: watch extensions, expansions into the service area, and SVS updates to severe-thunderstorm and tornado warnings.
Additional SVS/WCN bulletins are appended to the raw alert text.
Map auto-zoom now accounts for the dispatch center's service area.
The unit username now appears on the create-unit screen.
Clearer service-area editing — removed the confusing double-save step.
