Inside the workflow
What Notice supports
Require staff review
Record approval separately from mechanical checks. Edits invalidate earlier approval.
Retain original proof
Attach posting evidence with a hash and hand the reviewed archive to Records.
Evaluate locally
Start with one real workflow.
Enable Notice in the Windows suite. Start a test draft, review it, attach a synthetic posting proof file and inspect the archive.
Scope of this beta
Staff confirm applicable rules and carry out the actual posting. Mechanical checks support that review.

Inspect the implementation.
Trace the workflow to the component source pinned by the Windows release. Use the reference for integration details and the repository to report an issue or contribute a change.
Shared meeting imports · Windows 1.8.1.1
Windows 1.8.1.1 adds shared meeting imports for 31 source families, with 34 supported source/format pairs. Installed Windows Sandbox checks exercised preview, save and durable readback using public captures and fixtures, plus the documented Townlight handoffs. These checks do not establish automatic discovery on every live portal or a complete retest of every module.
All 31 sources, formats, operator steps and integration contracts · Installed acceptance and limits.
Windows 1.8.1.1 has fresh-install acceptance. An in-place upgrade to 1.8.1.1 was not exercised. The previous Windows 1.8.0.1 release tested upgrade from 1.7.2.1; that result applies to 1.8.0.1. Before an existing-city evaluation, back up city data and settings, close Townlight, keep the existing %LOCALAPPDATA%\CivicSuite profile, and use the same Windows account. Keep the prior installer and a restore path. Station continues to use its separately configured service.
The accepted MSI contains Townlight Runtime 0.3.1 and Meetings 1.0.6 distributions. Its health version strings still report Runtime 0.3.0 and Meetings 1.0.5. Default-branch source corrects those display strings; the signed MSI and its exact build source remain unchanged.
