Important Notes About Patching or Upgrading to 2014 Q4:
- Version 2014 Q4 is the first update following our version naming convention change, and follows version 6.7.
- Patch versus Upgrade: If you are currently on version 4.7, please follow the Upgrade Guide to move to version 2014 Q4. If you are currently on any version of 5 or 6, please follow the Patch Guide.
- Test Your Upgrade/Patch: We strongly recommend that you test your patch or upgrade in a test environment before updating your production environment. As always, please backup your database before patching or upgrading.
- Messaging Service: Customers that are using the Checkbox messaging service in any version prior to 6.3 will need to follow the UpgradeMessagingService.pdf guide located in the Documentation folder. Failure to update the messaging service will cause issues with the application and invitations. Earlier versions of the messaging service are no longer supported by Checkbox 2014 Q4. If you updated the messaging service with version 6.3, 6.4, 6.5, 6.6 or 6.7, you are all set.
Below is a complete list of the new features, enhancements and bug fixes you can expect in version 2014 Q4.

Enhancements :
- The survey page should no longer refresh/reload when answering questions on which same-page conditions are based (applies to all supported browsers except IE8).
