v6.0.0

Minimum PHP requirement for v6.X.X is PHP >= 8.0.2
The next generation of the BillingTrack v5.x.x software.
Create a new installation/site. Although it is possible to do so, do not attempt to upgrade an existing BillingTrack Site.
This is a new repository and existing cloners will not be able to pull the update.
This will upgrade the exisitng BillingTrack database, but it is HIGHLY recommended to backup the existing database and copy to a new one.

6.0.0

• Combine and optimize javascript in Scheduler Module
• complete rework of client unique_name, all client lookups now based on client name.
  possible breaking change for add-on developers accessing the firstOrCreateByUniquename method.
  Migration changes and update all unique names as:
  if unique_name == name , unique name = name truncated to 10 characters with an underscore and a random 5 character suffix.
  if unique_name contains name, unique_name = name truncated to 10 characters with an underscore and existing unique_name with name removed suffix.
  if unique_name does not match above assume custom unique is entered and, unique_name = name truncated to 10 characters with an underscore and existing unique_name suffix.
• complete rework of schedule reminders. The ability to create multiple reminders for the same event never made much sense. The rework more closely follows "standard" reminder pratices...
  • Reminders have been moved as a select item in create event/recurring event
    Only one reminder can be created per occurrence.
    Existing reminders will be migrated to:
    schedule_reminders->reminder_location to schedule-> location_str.
    schedule_reminders->reminder_date to schedule->occurrence->reminder_date.
    In the cases where many reminders were created on the same event, ONLY THE LAST CREATED REMINDER WILL BE TRANSFERRED.
    The old schedule_reminders table is then deleted.
