New upgrade - 0.9.7 (inching towards 1.0)
A new upgrade went into production today. There are a lot of small features that got into this release (0.9.7). Some notable ones below -
We have added a new field called service id that shows up for all the services. Its a unique id that is given to each service automatically by the system. This is currently only visible when you send a message out using email. This has been added so as to help us parse the incoming messages. Please let us know if you want this id to be visible everywhere in the application.
- Company card now displays more information about your clients. So essentially, Papilio acts like your client directory of information. This card is a popup that appears anywhere you have a link to the client.
- A place to add a brief about each one of your clients [under admin > clients > edit]
- A new filter under tasklists [under service overview > tasklists]
- A facility to add multiple invoices to your service [under services > service overview > edit service]
- Performance fixes to database
- Minor bug fixes

Update
Dear Users,
This upgrade is a huge one in that, the number of things that have been tinkered to perfection are quite a few. Major items were based on suggestions from you. Thank you so much for sending them to us. A lot of effort has gone into this release and we hope that it brings you the same joy in using it as it has brought to us in bringing it to you. Some of the major items are described below.
html As always the case is, please do get back to us with your valuable suggestions about these and other changes. It will help us tremendously to make sure we bring you what you need and not what we think you need.
There are couple of additional things I would like to introduce to you.
1. We created an SMS Channel called "mypapilio" where you can get real time updates about Papilio through SMS. (Charges levied by your carrier to receive SMS might still apply). So please sign up with your mobile number by using this link - http://labs.google.co.in/smschannels/subscribe/mypapilio?key=1238269001598971512
2. We introduced live-support (live chat) on the application as an experiment to improve our support to you. So in case you need support while using the application, you can click on the "live support" link on the top-right corner and talk to a support person (the button in the link turns blue if there are support people online). We are still trying to get the logistics for this in place. To start with, we hope to be available to serve you from 10AM to 6PM, monday through friday (except on holidays). As we progress, this time-slot will increase to fit your working schedule.
