ResDiary 10.10 Release Highlights
The main theme of this release is making improvements to the new widget. Read on the discover a range of improvements to functionality on the widget and our API.
User Facing Changes
Customers unable to edit bookings when microsite name includes unicode characters
We’ve fixed a bug where customers were unable to edit their booking when the restaurant microsite name had accented characters in it.
Visit Time not being taken into account when creating booking with promotion
We’ve fixed a bug where the visit time was not always correctly being taken into account when calculating availability for portal bookings.
Client culture info being cached incorrectly for admin users
We’ve resolved a date-formatting problem for admin users. Previously, when logging in and out of restaurants with different cultures, dates were always being formatted as per the culture of the very first provider they logged in to.
Lock button / Table join button not showing in full
We’ve fixed a problem where the ‘lock to table’ and ‘table join’ buttons in the NBP were not always displayed at the correct size.

Walk-in bookings for non standard duration now take turn-time into account to determine the duration.
Widget drop downs don’t set background colour on <ul> elements correctly
The background colour for drop downs in the new widget is now set correctly.
Leave time does not appear correctly when a fixed promotion is used
We’ve fixed a bug in the new widget that caused leave times to sometimes be displayed as ‘Your table is required to be returned by Invalid date.’
Remove Border When Clicking Buttons in Widget
Button formatting has been improved in the new widget.

Table closeouts are affecting internal availability
We have removed the error that was occuring where users with the right to override closeouts were not able to override individual table closeouts and instead received a “Future bookings exist on this table” error message.
Editing a booking via portal/consumer api removes booking notes
When customers edited their bookings in the portal any special requests (aka booking comments) added to the original booking were deleted. The function has been updated to stop this from happening any longer.
