Within the next few days, MerusCase users can look forward to a date with destiny. Ananke, our latest new version release, shares a name with one of Jupiter's 67 moons. This moon was named after the Greek goddess of fate. For MerusCase users, Ananke will soon be knocking at the door with a new batch of upgrades.
A few of Ananke's divine developments include new data displayed in case and party previews, enhanced list sorting by due date and alphabet, and formatting fixes for email messages and invoice printouts.
