The messages functionality has been extended to include a few new features:
The way we show the message body has been improved to accommodate for different types of emails.
Incoming messages will now be marked as 'unread' when they come in. Once you have opened the message the unread status will be removed. You can recognise the unread messages by the bold text they have. The message icon at the top of the screen now also shows the number of unread messages.
There is a new functionality to reply to incoming messages. For now this feature is only available from the message box itself, but in one of the next updates we'll make the reply function available anywhere you see messages.
In your own modules you would see 'linked objects' like a ship, a company or any other object in it's own box. Starting this release it's possible to show these objects as normal fields in your registration. This way your 'customer' doesn't necessarily need it's own box in the interface, but can be a simple field.
