This release brings many enhancements and fixes to the Easy!Appointments platform. The user experience has become more stable and the system performs faster that previous releases. Email notifications now include ICS files, time is formatted into the regular format (HH:MM AM/PM), Sunday became the first day of the week and the back-end calendar supports the creation of new events just be clicking and draging into the the time slots.

The code has be under heavy refactoring in order to make further development faster and debugging is now easier that ever before as messages become more descriptive. CodeIgniter is updated to the latest release as well as FullCalendar did. Older code syntax was replaced with newer one and all the source files where auto-formatted so that they follow the same code style.
