====== Release 16.8 - Key Features ======

===== Operating System and Libraries Upgrade =====
In order to stay abreast of the latest security patches, the server operating system was upgraded.  This necessitated the simultaneous updating of many libraries and software packages.

===== AAF Deadline Reminders =====
The Group Commissioner account now has the //optional// ability to set the required lead time for AAF submissions.  If set, any section event is missing an AAF will have a corresponding "AAF Submission Deadline" reminder event shown on the schedule (much like the "Signup Deadline" reminder events that already exist).  Once an AAF is submitted, the AAF Deadline reminder event disappears.

If an AAF is not approved by the GC-imposed deadline, then the event is highlighted in red, along with the reason--e.g., "No AAF submitted", or "AAF not approved by GC", or "AAF no longer valid" (in the case of changes to risk category, etc.)--so Scouters will have a clue why they shouldn't be holding the event.

Correspondingly, in the Commissioner account, any event that has a submitted AAF that needs approval has a "AAF Approval Deadline" reminder event so the GC can see which events need attention.  Again, any event that doesn't have an approved AAF by the GC-imposed deadline is highlighted in red, indicating that the event possibly can't be held without violating SC policy.

The AAF deadline can be set under "Schedule" | "Options".
