Notes (version 4.3.0)
What changed since version 4.2.0?
-
Previously PreBook could only
facilitate dedicated MTN connectivity and static or Dynamic DNS via ADSL
connections.
-
Now any 24/7
internet connection can be used to enable PreBook.
-
This includes
internet connections like: ADSL, 3G, EDGE, HSDPA, iBurst,
etc.
-
This results in
making the installation and configuration of PreBook
very simple and not that complex any more as well as more reliable connectivity
to Establishments using the PreBook software.
-
Changes were made to the back-end PreBook
Booking Engine to make it much easier for the end user or consumer to make
real-time online bookings via the internet.
