Changes are listed in ascending date order within each table below.

Finding your release number: The release number currently in use is displayed in the upper left corner of the login screen. If already logged in to CARS+, type “LOGIN” from the OPTION field of any menu to view the login screen and see the release number.

The format of the release number is either:

v12.9-YYMMDD (where YYMMDD represents the date in the format “year month day”.)

For example, April 14, 2010 is shown as: v12.9-100410

A date more recent than your release date is a new feature available in the latest release.

OR

12.9-YYMMDDx (where the date is shown the same as the above followed by a letter.)

For example, December 12, 2009, letter T is shown as: 12.9-091209T

A feature with a letter that is later in the alphabet than your letter is a new feature available only in a later release.

To find all changes to a certain program, use your browser’s “find” or “search” feature with the appropriate synonym.

Enhancements: The majority of enhancements to CARS+ do not go into effect unless a setting is changed in the system. That is, the goal is to allow current users to continue using the system just as they are using it unless they decide to use the feature.

Changes: Sometimes changes are made that affect all users. For ease in reviewing this document, changes that directly affect the rental counter are noted in the "Affects Rental Counter" column.

IMPORTANT UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS

When upgrading from any release prior to 12.9-100411, the upgrade process must be done in two stages. See detailed instructions in the 2012 Jan - June Release Notice.
