Release notes 2024.1

Updated

Please find below the release notes for release 2024.1

We have created a new Direct Debit robot, which will generate AUDDIS and Collection files
in a format accepted by Bottomline. The file generation process will remain the same as it does
for other providers, in this case the format is just different. The new Direct Debit robot should be
speedier and more reliable than the existing Direct Debit robot we have, and we later intend to
move our other file formats (BACS/Agresso) over to use the new robot too.


This release contains a number of features built by our colleagues at FIT, for use in the UAE
market. This includes the initial work for being able to add and hold a security deposit in
Mabdeck, as well as the ability to send statements out to customers as a PDF attachment on
an email. These features will only be available for UAE clients.


We have done some development work which will now pull through hub debt, and show it on
the app. This can be viewed by the resident on the profile screen, underneath their account
balance.


As part of the ongoing work to upgrade Mabdeck, there are some more changes in this
release which will help towards that. Although you won't be able to see these changes
themselves, be assured that the code is being tweaked and improved in the background, and
we hope your front end experience will become a lot smoother as a result of this too.
