Supervisor Net suite version 8.2.8 has been released

We’re happy to announce the release of version 8.2.8 of the Supervisor Net suite of products.

In this release, we address issues found in the field as well as the addition of several features such as:

• Supporting the returning of different validation states (OK, Locked, Fees and Fines payments only) to Express (version 8.2.8)  and My Monitor (Upcoming 8.1.4 version) for library management systems using native APIs
• New mobile device visitors to Online Ordering will be presented with a helpful message advising them how to add the site as an icon to their home screen
• Items can be marked as out of stock, even if they are not a normally stocked item
• Direct URL links to shops and shop groups can now be created

[Bug Fix] #14940 The welcome message on the login page was centered for iOS devices but not for Android devices
[Bug Fix] #14923 Item ‘Sales Limit’ profiles were only being created by default for the first shop. If other shops were added later on, there were no profiles in the drop-down and no way to create them, so the sales limit feature couldn’t be used for other shops

[Bug Fix] #14748 If you navigated to a shop group where it’s now too late in the day to place an order for, the date at the top of the screen would go to the next available day correctly, but then it glitched and changed back to the current day.
