Version 1.51 - 5/18/22

Added All Contracts Points Overview page so you can see a points overview for all contracts on the same page.
Added Use Transaction Date to Contract Overview page which works more like disney. If you record a point banking transaction then previous vacation transactions (based on date of vacation and banking) will not use those points, which shows up in the overview page.
Miscellaneous fixes.

Version 1.50 - 9/19/21

Added Points Left Totals for All Contracts on the Contracts page.
Added Points Usage information for the specific contract on the edit contract page.
Added date to when points were used for a vacation payment (this allows better backend point tracking calcuations).
Miscellaneous back & front end fixes/additions as well as back end additions for possible upcoming alerts and real time search features.

Version 1.49 - 8/2/21

Updated the bank points email to correctly state the remaining points left in the use year.
Added public facing vacation calculator with points, costs, occupancy and estimated availability.

Version 1.48 - 3/28/21

Updated the availability chance calculation code to make it more accurate based on our data and allow for future date (beyond current 11 months) calculations based on past data.

Version 1.47 - 3/22/21

Updated the calculation code for the Dashboard page for how many points left to bank and how many expiring points left that cannot be banked.

Version 1.46 - 2/14/21

Added an availability chance alert when editing/viewing a vacation and under most calculators. This data comes from the charts on our site of green/open, orange/mostly, yellow/spotty, and red/none, which is based on past room availability.
Minor bug fixes.

Vesion 1.45 - 1/4/21

Added the number of bathrooms, number of showers, number of toilets, number of tub/shower combos, and number of tubs to each room type so you can order/sort by those when using the point calculators.
Minor bug fixes.

Version 1.44 - 12/27/20

Added a Vacations Overview page that shows you all your vacations in a yearly (month by month) overview so you can visually see your vacations throughout each year.
Added the ability to suppress vacation and rental alerts on the Dashboard screen from being displayed by clicking the X on the alert. Once the X is clicked it will no longer display on the Dashboard page. This is useful if you don't want to see a specific alert, maybe because you already completed a 11 month booking and don't need to see the 7 month booking alert.

Version 1.43 - 12/10/20

Updated the date pickers to allow selection of dates in the past.
Added a new calculator that allows you to see a vacation cost in points across different years. This allows you to see how much points your vacation went up or down between the years.

Minor bug fixes.

Added additional icons to dashboard page for vacation reminders.
Added additional point calculator allowing you to select the days and all resorts point requirements update without leaving the page.

Refactored some code to allow coding upcoming renter/rentee reviews and DVC Member Verified feature.

Version 1.38 - 8/4/20

Added the ability for you to foward your DVC Reservation E-mails to [email protected] from the e-mail address assoicated with your dvchelp.com account, and the system will parse the e-mail for the check-in date, check-out date, resort and room and will automatically create the vacation in your account, if a vacation that matches exactly does not exist. All other data in the e-mail such as Resort Confirmation numbers, guests, etc. are disregarded and not stored or created with the vacation data. You will still need to edit the vacation to "pay" it with points from which contract(s) you used.
