WebCheckout 2.0.10 is nearing release.  It is very important that it
receive as much testing over the weekend as possible.  Unfortunately
it is difficult for us to distinguish the lack of bugs filed on 2.0.10
in recent days as either "no bugs found because the program works
great" or "no bugs found because the testers aren't pounding hard
enough."  In order to clarify this, I'd like to ask that beta testers
go over the release notes for 2.0.9.2 and 2.0.10 this weekend and try
to break as many new features and bug-fixes as they can, file bugs as
necessary, and then copy and paste the relevant sections of the
release notes into an email to webco-support@onshored.com.  This way
we will know which areas have received proper coverage and can be
considered fully tested.  

A few areas I would like to emphasize for testing:

** Test editing reservations and repeat reservations as a
** window-worker (on the beta instance, the login/pass is
** webcheckout/preview)

** Test the entire reserve/edit/pickup and checkout/renew/return
** life-cycle as the webcheckout/preview window worker.

** Do all of the above with as many combinations of usage-fees and
** late-fines as you can manage, and check each allocation's invoices
** from the "returned checkout" screen after they are returned.

** Test group authorizations, also as the window worker -- ensure that
** resources requiring authorizations also require overrides and that
** those overrides cannot be bypassed by the window worker.  Also
** check the converse -- that items that ARE authorized to NOT require
** an override.

Please include any of these in your testing summary emails.  

Thank you for your attention to 2.0.10; hopefully this can be our last
bugfix release on the 2.0 line, and we can turn all our attention to
version 2.1.
