An update was made to the Public Dashboard feature to ensure that announcements were displaying correctly and would be archived according to the assigned date.
An update was released to correct certification date fields so they would be formatted as a date and sort correctly.
An update was released to allow users to add a min, max, min/max pool parameter test and edit the parameter settings once the test has been added. This will allow users to create alerts off their own pool test parameters and not just the standard testing values.
A fix was released addressing an issue where pool test alert emails weren't being sent when the body of water was comparing results to their local standards.
A fix was released addressing an issue where email alerts for completed incident reports weren't being set when the custom email parameter was enabled for that form.

An update was released to address an issue on the user management page that occurred when the "Show ## Entries" option was selected and a user profile was updated, the page would default back to showing 25 users but kept the status for the "Show ## Entries" and would go back to the first page of results. This page now keeps the selected number of users displayed and stays on the correct page.
An update was released to the certification report page that addressed an issue where more than one certification type would be displayed when using the certification type filter.
An update was released to address an issue where user availabilities could not be edited as a group when they were entered as a repeating pattern. Users can now update their availability patterns to change/delete the entire thing or only update a single date/time as needed.
An update was released to address an issue where a schedule manager was able to great a repeating shift group that extended past the last day of the schedule period. This allowed users to be Group Assigned or automatically assigned with SwiftShift and the shift could only be viewed on the assigned users schedule page. Repeating shifts are now blocked from repeating past the end date of the schedule period.
A fix was released to allow site admins to add users under the External User role type and edit their email alerts correctly.
