New release for Viewer - Reduced server load and Edit reservation status bugfix

This release is pushed to production at release date.

Improved

  • As a step to reduce system load driven by iCal subscriptions, we have changed the order of evaluation of an iCal subscription. We have found that many old subscriptions are still running, requesting reservations from long-gone time windows. We have made two changes:
    • Changed the evaluation order of subscriptions so that if the subscription is "out of date," Viewer returns without doing anything more
    • Changed the HTTP return code from 500 to 410 (Gone), with the intention of having the subscribing server cancel the subscription and not to send the request at all

Bug fix

  • When editing a reservation status, Confirmed was selected by default, even though the reservation might be in another state (e.g., Planned). If a user wanted to change the status to Confirmed, this was not possible as the front end would not detect a change, preventing the user from saving the change. This has now been fixed so that the UI correctly reflects the actual status, allowing users to change the status.
