Our development team is working on hard on additional new features and fixes. We will keep you updated as these updates are ready for release. There will be many more changes to come. Once New Digication has reached maturity and planned features have been released the frequency of changes will be reduced and changes will be made with more advanced notice.
We would like to take this time to thank all of the schools that have been participating in exploring the early releases of New Digication. We appreciate your enthusiasm and support during this time. Your feedback has been enormously valuable to us!
Kind regards,
Your friends at Digication
