January 2011 News and Updates1/7/2010
Just a short update on
Grades 2.6. We know a lot of people are anxious for the new in-app
calendar features and the addition of attendance support to the app. We
have finalized the release notes on the new version that is still in
development but should be ready for testing in the near future:
Grades Version 2.6 (In Development)
- Add schedule editing option to long press menu for courses.
- Rename 'Schedule' page to Calendar, schedule now refers to individual courses, the calendar integrates all course schedules.
- Add new calendar features: Now (Today) and Week Views
- Added ability to track attendance using the course and Now (In Calendar) pages.
- Localizations have been canceled, when localizations were active, only .1% of downloads were in non-English localizations.

Grades
version 2.6 is now in development. This new version will add enhanced
calendar support such as month, week and day views as well as a new
"Right Now" view. It also includes support for keeping track of
attendance in courses. Because these features require several changes to
the base framework of the app it may take a little longer than usual to
release especially considering that a new semester is starting for most
people (we want new feature additions to be bug free and user
friendly!) so we don't want to rush things. Please email us with your
suggestions or feedback. You can check up on the progress by visiting
the Grades app page.
Update: Here is a screenshot of the new course page in version 2.6. More coming soon!
