We here at Metro Publisher have lately been working feverishly towards some new and exciting features that we will be releasing in various stages over the next several months. As a result, the newest release will be fast and furious. However, this release includes only a few features that you will notice right away. But, under the hood, there are many important changes that will pave the way for things to come.
So, beginning next week, the development team will be gradually upgrading all clients to the v2.13 release of Metro Publisher.

Here are new features and updates that you can make use of right now.

- "Closed" Locations Locations marked as "No longer in business" are excluded from location search results.
- Location and Event Search Pages Quicklinks will only appear on searches that include the "Use map" option.
- Print-only Description for Locations Location Print-only field available for event export.
