Since the Last Update

In September we really jumped into the R6 upgrade with most devs doing something on it. We worked on the web pos and now are close to a MVP (Minimum Viable Product). If you would like to test pos on a phone let support know. Work on the group/association sites and Circle gift card continued. We also made some improvements to the website, Xero, accounts payable, stocktake and the CSV file loader.
