Today’s Release: Bug Fixes!

We are always listening to feedback from our users and regularly make improvements and bug fixes to the site. While some of the improvements may not be noticeable while interacting with Geni, we want to give our users a better idea of what is included in each release. You may notice that many of these enhancements and fixes came directly from requests posted to Geni Help and our public discussions. An archive of our previous release notes can be found in our Geni Help Announcements. And as always, comments and feedback are appreciated! Without further ado, here are the notes from today’s release:
