On June 2, 2006, we made the fifth release (RC5) of ODB version 1.0 available. This is a maintenance release that takes care of a few missing things in version 1.0. It also addresses 7 issues that endusers reported through the Mantis bug tracking system.

Details of what has changed and source code were posted on Sourceforge, at this link:

New Features:
* Now you can create an informal salutation much more easily, just choose in the Title pulldown
* Adding an 'appeal code' on the fly when you are importing payments is now implemented
* Better phone calling sheets...
* Additional size for label printing

Serious problems fixed:
* The COUNTs of numbers of records in the Mass Action screen was inaccurate at times, which made it unclear how many records you were mass updating.

* Eric Weir helped me fix the bad templates
* took care of a blank line showing up on envelopes if street number/name missing
* Bugs reported by Jon, Susan fixed... loading payment queries was not working... and when you used the "moveup" moveup 8" button on the import screen the results were unpredictable
