Release notes: out-of-service flags and maintenance windows for equipment

This release is for every host who has had to message ten members because the laser tube died on a Tuesday evening.

Out-of-service flags

Any host can now mark a bookable item as out of service, with a short reason. Members with upcoming bookings are notified straight away and offered the next free slot on a similar machine, if you have one.

Scheduled maintenance windows

For planned work, such as a quarterly service on the CNC router, you can block out a maintenance window in advance. Existing bookings in that window are flagged for a host to move, rather than cancelled automatically.

Smaller fixes

• The equipment page now shows the last three maintenance notes
• Recurring bookings no longer skip a week after a daylight saving change
• Booking reminders include the room name as well as the machine

Thanks to everyone in the Tidewell Customer Community who voted for this one. It was the most requested equipment feature of last year.
