[Citrusdb-users] New CitrusDB Version 1.3 Released

[Paul Yasi]

This release includes a number of new functions. Most notably the
ability to indicate a service as carrier dependent that are sold
through a third party who need separate notification when that service
type is activated or deactivated.

The Account Activation tool has been removed in favor of the
statusupdate script. This script is meant to be run nightly in CRON.
It will create an account management file that can be processed by a
your own script that interfaces with your authentication system. Also
includes a function in the statusupdate script to send pastdue notices
by email for all customers, and by print or email pastdue, shutoff,
and cancel notices for customers with carrier dependent services.

Other features include:

* a new statusupdate script that is to be run nightly to update
account status and create an account management file

* a carrier dependent service type used for services provided by third
parties who have to be notified of deactivation

* separate notification of account modifications such as enable and reactivate

* new payment history entries for cancels, cancels that owe money
(cancel with fee), and carrier dependent shutoff notices

* lock out a connection after too many login failures

* service changes keep old information intact, and create a new service.
