the time has come for the blog and the official website of Easy!Appointments to be served from the same server/domain. WordPress.com has served well for the previous years but the separation of the blog from easyappointments.org was something that troubled me for a long time.

The migration will be done gradually and all the old posts will be moved to the brand new blog, which will be powered by Hexo, a JavaScript static site generator that can be hosted on GitHub Pages as well.

Another announcement will follow up once the blog is ready.

There are also other important changes that will make Easy!Appointments more flexible and stable such as the drop of mod_rewrite which was causing various issues to different server environments that weren’t properly configured.

From now on administrators will be able to set a Google Analytics code which will be included in the booking page so that they can track their website visits in that page as well.

In extend the upcoming version includes optionally CAPTCHA validation for the booking wizard, various date formats and the ability to disable customer notifications, a setting which will enable users to use Easy!Appointments only as their company’s agenda.

Below there is a list of the GitHub issues that were closed during this milestone.
