June 2024

New security protocols have been implemented to comply with the latest standards which are required when we communicate with cloud services.  Unfortunately, Windows 7 cannot support these as all support and updates from Microsoft for Windows 7 ended in January 2020.

To enable our customers that may have Aurelian running on an old Windows 7 PC, we implemented this so the required components are only used where required – Stripe card processing and Aurelian+.

This means existing Windows 7 customers can continue to use Aurelian but will not be able to use Aurelian+ or Stripe interfaces. 

 Windows 10 and upwards users will have the enhanced protection, though it will be invisible.

This was pre-released on 31 May and a full update released 6 June.

In preparation for the release of the mobile reservation management app, a new security option has been added to User Group – mobile apps tab.

This will need to be set to Yes for anyone wanting to use the reservation app when released.

Released 29 June.

Last year, in response to customer requests, we introduced a service to design, build and host customers websites.  This was partly due to customers changing from a channel manager that also provided websites, and also due to dissatisfaction with existing websites.

This service was initially only offered as customers changed channel managers or took over new properties etc and proved very popular with excellent results in direct bookings.  This service is now available to our customers for a simple fixed monthly subscription.  No upfront charge for design and build.
