R 34.1 (latest release)

This is a major release, and may contain breaking changes or important upgrades. It is meant to allow a seamless experience with the upcoming admin panel (release planned in R36)

• New:
  • Basic Day off functionality: the service manager can now use a special service that occupies one, two or three consecutive days as a fast way to prevent reservations in non-working days;
  • Maintenance mode: without stopping the bot service, the service manager will be able to stop all functionalities; the bot will reply with a sentence stating that the maintenance mode is active;
  • Services with a special note: on services with this property enabled, user are asked to input a text message intead of pushing a button to confirm their reservation;
• Improvement:
  • Now duration options on a per-service basis are supported, and have priority over global durations; global durations can still be used as a fallback;
  • Slightly better error handling by means of a catch-all middleware, used to prevent unhandled errors breaking the bot;
• Fix:
  • Global shifts not been applied on some configurations;
  • Some context could show a d-m-Y date format
  • Now the text list of reservations sent by the bot as a text message is effectively truncated according the Telegram limit of characters per message, which is 4096 (overcoming this limit causes an error);
• Technical: Basic support for an events system, registering the most common operations into the database as events
