 * 1) You now have the ability to add exceptions to an event's capacity limitation.
 * 2) For example, you can create a new event, indicate that only 50 volunteers should be allowed to sign up, but then specify that any number of Spanish speaking volunteers or immigration attorneys, specifically, should be allowed to sign up.
 * 3) How to add volunteer capacity exceptions to an event
 * 4) You now have the ability to filter a volunteer list on the "Admin Comments" section of volunteer profiles. Basically, to search a volunteer list for all volunteers with a certain word or phrase in their profile's "Admin Comments" section. One possible use for this feature, is to basically add custom tags to volunteers and to filter volunteer lists on these custom tags.
 * 5) For example, a collaborative that decided to pay some outside immigration attorneys to attend an event, could add a note to the volunteer profiles of these attorneys saying "this is a paid attorney of [YOUR ORG]." Then staff associated with that collaborative could filter a volunteer list to only show volunteers with the "this is a paid attorney of [YOUR ORG]" admin comment.
 * 6) As another example, you could add a note to a volunteer's profile that they are "vegetarian," and filter your volunteer list to only view volunteers containing the comment "vegetarian."
 * 7) How to filter a volunteer list on text within the "admin comments" section of volunteer profiles
 * 8) How to update a volunteer record with feedback that is only visible to Volunteer.Legal staff users
 * 9) You now have additional language options to choose from: "American Sign Language," "Amharic," "Arabic," "French," "Haitian Creole," "Thai"
 * 10) Additionally, you'll note that language options are now always sorted alphabetically, and import and export spreadsheet templates have been updated.
 * 11) I've also added an "Advanced Users Guide" to the Volunteer.Legal support site which lists a number of useful, optional features you may not know about. It should only be read after you are already comfortable using Volunteer.Legal.
