Indico software has been upgraded to a new version which includes serveral improvements and offers new features, such as:

Video Services:

• When creating a Vidyo booking, if the name of the Vidyo room does already exist and you own the room, Indico will suggest to attach the existing room to the event.
  
• From now on, vidyo services managers will be cloned when cloning an event (and Vidyo option is checked).

Room booking:

• A new feature has been added to the room booking service. One can define the daily availability of your room. For instance, you could set that your room can be booked and used only from 8h30 to 17h30.
• Third party applications can use our HTTP API in order to book a room.

Events:

• Outlook plugin:
  • Now, Indico is syncronazing your participation in events with Outlook. When you are added as a participant in any event or when you register to a conference; an entry will show up in your personal Outlook calendar. Users can disable this option from its personal preferences.
