Another quick update
17.03.2012
I've been asked to add a few more features in the next release than I was planning to. Besides, I'm a bit late in the development of the online hosting of schedules.For these reasons, I have to postpone ABC Roster v1.7. I'll see whether I can release the new version next month, without the online hosting.
