Feng Office 2.3.1 builds on top of the 2.3.0 release to add a number of productivity enhancements, several bug fixes, and lots of little details that have been pending for quite a while now.
 
2.3.1 is something of a ‘polishing’ release. And a highly recommended upgrade.
 
The team also reintroduced a small number of features that were still missing from the 1.X days.

Group mailing: Phase 1

 
Clients using the Advanced E-mail module (These are approximately 30% of our clients), frequently remind us of their need to handle e-mailing to a group of users.
 
We have planned many improvements on this front, and the first one is already out!

When viewing contacts on the people-tab (This tab has to be activated on new accounts, as it is no longer included by default), you can now select (by checking on them) a group of contacts, and an option to send an e-mail to all of them will become available.
 

More power for tasks management

 
You can now select the date range for the tasks listed on the task-tab.

This option applies to both the standard view and the Gantt Chart view.

Quick archiving of projects, clients, and workspaces

 
Projects, Clients, Workspaces, and just about any information space can now be quickly archived and unarchived through the ‘Dimensions’ management section at the Administration panel.

Improvements and fixes that were on the top of the wish-lists

 
* Many improvements and fixes have been developed for the Gantt Chart module.
* When changing the Overview option to view as list, the choice is now persistent when moving to other spaces, projects, etc.
* Comments are now displayed on the ‘Activity’ widget of the Overview tab.
* Google calendar synchronization has been improved and bugs fixed.
* Direct URL for the Contact form is back!
