Fixed SPRs in core v11.6:

PHS:

SPR 714 After copying a proposal and restarting the system, the user will be warned that a new PAD/IOP will have to be generated and sent to ISDC, if this hasn't been done already (after the copy operation).

OSS:

SPR 719 A few problems in the Schedule Notification panel have been fixed.
SPR 720 Due to a caching problem, sometimes in later version of a POS, the OMC FF ED's would be missing. The guilty cache has been removed.
SPR 721 OSS required PSF n+1 to schedule revolution n, in order to properly do the check for a safe perigee passage. The old situation has been restored: If PSF n+1 is not (yet) imported, the perigee safety check is done until the end of the revolution.
SPR 729 The (RA, DEC) for perigee exit and entry in the summary of the schedule are now shown in decimal degrees.
SPR 731 The scheduled time for an observation, is displayed by PHS, could become incorrect, if in OSS scheduling error had occurred, after which the changes were committed to the database. From this version on, if errors occur during scheduling, it is not possible to commit the changes (Generate Files). (developer report)
SPR 733 When OSS was requesting Flight Dynamics for a slew it could not construct (not using a simple slew, and not by using either of the two options for a dog-leg), OSS would throw an exception. From this version on, OSS will show a message that a given slew could not be constructed, the time it was trying for and from/to RA/DEC.
SPR 735 A few problems in the Schedule Notification panel have been fixed.

PosChecker:

SPR 722 Since the introduction ED KEHVAC, the POS Checker has been reporting the error that no offset has been defined for this ED. This was fixed.

Implemented SCRs in core v11.6:

PHS:

SCR 470 The user can now change the status of all observations with status X to status Y, using the "Bulk observation change" button in the Proposal Details screen.
SCR 507 By right-clicking on a proposal in the Proposal Select screen, the user can choose a Compose E-mail option. This allows one to compose an e-mail informing the proposer which of his/her observations have been approved, how much time has been approved, etc.
SCR 519 The user can now view and edit Key Programme subscriptions from the PHS GUI.

Implemented SCRs in ote v4:

OTE:

SCR 506 Major clean-up. Improved format of output.
