Release Notes – 2020.07.30

 July 30, 2020

Highlights

  • There is a new beta flag that allows child websites in an office package to upgrade to react even though their parent office website is still legacy. This will help speed the adoption of our new react-based templates. Previously, both the parent office site and all of its child sites had to be the same. When the beta flag is turned on for the parent office account:
    • All new child sites on that account going forward are forced to be react websites
    • CSR level users will be able to migrate existing legacy child sites on that account to react (the agent can’t do this for themselves)
    • All child sites must be migrated to react before the office website is migrated.
  • We’ve been busy on the Market Reports beta, including a “Places API” to autocomplete on any address (not just listings). This is still protected behind a beta flag and we’ll be testing it in production after the release.
