0.2.05 contains a number of minor enhancements for the new Shops pages and some layout and formatting improvements for the Portal, particularly on mobile devices.

Over the next week or so, you should also expect some of the resource check-out centers on campus join the Shops directory such as the Media Center and the Film cage, as well as the campus computer labs.

0.2.04

Feb. 2, 2017

0.2.04 is mostly a bug fix and clean up release following the release of the new Shops directory.

The shop managers have also made many, many edits and improvements to the Shops content. The directory is now very complete and up-to-date.

The Portal team has also begun discussions with students, staff, and faculty, collecting ideas, requirements, and priorities for our next big push around information for students. This work will begin to surface over the next 4 to 5 months.
