Only 2 bugs were fixed which were in v 2.1.2

Vision Distribution v2.1.2 (09/08/2018)

Some users may find it necessary to 'Reset Layout' in the Depot Plan after upgrading

...

VDIST-647:

The default columns displayed in the Depot Plan are changing, if you find that one of the columns you use has disappeared then right click the column headings, select 'Field Chooser' and add it back in to the desired position.


VDIST-1048:

The routing engine providers have a bug in their service requiring you to set the drivers 'max transport point count per tour' to an additional +1 to work correctly.  The fix is available and our server update is being arranged.  The field can be set correctly after the server is updated.
