In version 0.2.10, we bring ElasticSearch to the Shops directory. Now all of current directories — People, Courses, and Shops — use ElasticSearch. We also introduce name suffixes for the folks who might want to add them to their profiles.

And the usual bug fixes and small UX improvements.

Course Catalog and Planner

• Updated all add to planner and remove from planner icons.
• Improved help text for add and remove buttons.
• No longer allowing students to add cancelled courses to their planner.

Student Application

• Trim trailing whitespace from email before saving to avoid validation errors.
• Fixed a bug where pressing the Enter key inside the application, inquiry, and event registration forms the would go back to the application dashboard.

The 09 release of the Portal included a refactoring of the CCA student application code to be able to support auto-saving. This will reduce the possibility that applicants will lose data while editing their applications. We also took this opportunity to reduce and simplify the amount of code and make it easier to maintain.

We also fixed a few niggling bugs in the Portal.
