+====== Release 13.0 - Key Features ======
+===== Login-less Signup of Events in Emails =====
+It can be a pain convincing parents/youth to connect to ScoutsTracker and sign up for events!
+So now there is an "RSVP" button in the email editor that will insert a placeholder for signup buttons in an email.  These buttons will be individually-customized when the email is sent out to include the information about the members who are being asked to sign up (e.g., name and event fee, if applicable).
+If an email is associated with multiple members... e.g., a scouter and her child, or two siblings, then there will be a customized set of buttons for //each// member so that their individual signups can be appropriately recorded.
+Additionally, if you add the RSVP buttons to an email for an event that didn't have sign-up enabled, the event will automatically be modified to have sign-up enabled.
+===== Youth Can Create Personal Events =====
+In order to assist with the youth-led nature of the Canadian Path, youth are now (optionally) allowed to create //Personal// events on the schedule.  This lets the youth record their own adventures, or capture plans to be undertaken by their patrol/lair or by the entire section.
+As personal events, they are only visible to the youth who created the event, and their scouters.  But if you want the event to be visible to all youth/parents in the section (i.e., you're comfortable with a Scout's plan for a Troop event) then you can subsequently change the visibility.
+You can enable this feature by going to "Account" | "Advanced".  Note that is a much softer section-wide version of the existing per-login permission of "Can Manage Schedule".  The latter gives a youth the ability to make //any// change to the schedule, whereas this new feature only lets youth create their own personal events.
+===== Commissioners Can Email Scouters/Parents/Youth in Their Sections =====
+A frequently-requested feature, Commissioners now have the ability to select "everyone" and/or "parents" and/or "leaders" on the email composition page.
+This will then take advantage of the records kept by each section account, and send a BCC message to all sections in the Group.
