Upstream+ v5.5 has be deployed to production. This update includes big things, little things, nerdy things, and some much-requested things. Here’s an overview of what’s included in this release.
Enhancements:

- Detours now fire a “Hat Tip” notification to users already in the meeting
- Added option to “Save and Add a New Task” in “Add Task” Modal

- Ability to “Add Objectives” to a meeting without actually leaving the meeting
- Added % of Tasks Completed on-time to first tab of Reviews
- When completing a Review, there is now a final confirmation modal
- Notifying when 60% of an incomplete task’s timeframe has already elapsed
Upgrades:
- Upgraded the Laravel Core to the latest version
- Updated PHP to its latest version (can handle 20% more requests per second than the earlier version)
- mySQL Database is now RDS, meaning it’s encrypted at rest (military-grade security)
- AWS S3 enabled for securing and serving static files
Issues Fixed:
- Division by Zero exception in Meeting ScoreCard fixed
- “Prior Notes” now show on saved, unsubmitted reviews
- Select all/none function working better
- Add to Calendar button in task details modals fixed
- Fixed Converting Action Items in Reviews to Tasks
There’s a lot more than just those in v5.5, but those are the highlights.
What’s Next?
Big stuff coming down the pipeline right now is a new API builder which will allow Upstream+ to connect to over 5,000 other web applications to send or pull data from. There’s also going to be an option to adding “guest” users to attend Upstream+ meetings (without logging in). Lastly, we’re working on a new “nudge” to remind users to complete their tasks. This is in addition to already notifying when 60% of a task’s timeframe has already elapsed.
