We now will switch it to be current for today so you don't have to click back in the calendar to find it. * Bug 6404 | Test if player cache directory works -We added a new test to the Display Engine connection tester to make sure player file permissions are correct. * Bug 6521 | Some French characters show up as a diamond with a question mark in the template editor -The template editor now allows accented and unicode characters to show up properly. * Bug 6604 | Bulletin lists and housekeeping can be filtered by deleted users -You now have the ability to view or remove bulletins owned by users that have been deleted from FrontDoor. * Bug 6627 | Add ability to update all weather bulletin backgrounds -You can now select or add a background to apply to all weather types to make integrating a weather bulletin into a seamless background easier. * Bug 6681 | RSS Feeds don't obey proxy server config overrides -Resolved an issue related to downloading dynamic content in RSS and iCal bulletins when using a proxy server.

We've made every effort to make it appear the same as before, but there are some cases where text may not fit properly in blocks. If you notice this, it's best to turn on "Size Text to Fit" or reduce the font size to the next smaller option. * Bug 6847 | Certain weather locations can throw an error -We now catch a condition where certain weather information isn't returned from WeatherBug.
