projectfacts 5.4.5 – New Features

Release 5.4.5

Version 5.4.5 includes new features in the ticket system and the file module. It will be released on 18 February and will be available to all premium customers and customers with their own hosting shortly after. A highlight of the current release is certainly the sharing of files with people who do not work with projectfacts. Via a public link, external persons such as customers can access shared files or folders.
