pretalx/pretalx v0.8.0

on GitHub

Released n 2018-09-23

Breaking changes

• The URLs for schedule exports have changed from /myevent/schedule/export?exporter=exportername to /myevent/schedule/export/exportername – if you have hardcoded links to schedule exporters, please update them accordingly.
• pretalx now doesn't support usernames any longer – as email addresses were already required for accounts, they are now the only means of logging in. This may confuse a few users – as an administrator, you can look up users' email addresses if they don't remember them, or change them, if necessary.

New features

• A human-readable time until the CfP closes is now displayed next to the end time. (#213)
• As an organizer, it is now possible to send an email to all reviewers in the Compose Mail section. (#454)
• In exports, HTTP Etags are now supported to allow for more aggressive caching on clients. (#492)
• Organisers can now also reset the password for the speakers they have access to.
• Present a public list of talks and a list of speakers.
• The submission list now includes a graph of submissions over time.
• The sneak peek / is_featured flag is now shown in the submissions and talk API endpoints.
• You can now use your authentication token to access all pages you have access to, not only the API. This makes integration of exports much easier.
• When using paper cards to build a schedule, each card comes with a QR code link to a quick scheduling form for that submission. (#240)
• Before releasing a new schedule, the user is now shown any warnings and what the public changelog will look like.
• The schedule editor shows warnings on scheduling conflicts, including live feedback on where a talk can be placed. (#214)
• The review dashboard now features the same search and filter options as the submission list. (#474)
• You can now add minimum or maximum length restrictions to abstracts, descriptions, speaker biographies, and all text-based questions. (#408)
• When linking to a talk on social media, the talk image is now shown.
• French translation
• The event logo is displayed larger and up to the full width of the document below. Please check that your event still looks as intended after upgrading.
• Allow to order rooms manually. (#149)
• Allow to order questions manually. (#149)
• Instead of setting a flag somewhere, pretalx now has an explicit "go live" button. There is also a corresponding signal plugins can listen to (please refer to the plugin documentation for further information).
• For organisers, the submission/talk API endpoints now contain the question answers given by the speakers.
• Schedules now contain a search bar to filter talks by title or speaker.
• Schedules now feature a sidebar navigation to jump directly to a selected day.
• Allow organisers to configure which of the default CfP fields to request and require. Please check your settings after updating, as the migration is not guaranteed to work as expected.
• Prevent organisers from adding a non-localhost mail server without transport level security to make sure our Privacy Policy holds true.
• Allow organisers to trigger a password reset for team members. (#415)
• We now have tests to make sure all config options and plugin hooks are documented.
• All manage commands available in pretalx are now included in the documentation.

Fixed bugs

• When a submission was removed that contained an answered (multiple-) choice question, the selected answer option was removed, too.
• When a speaker held more than two talks, their related talks were not linked correctly. (#501)
• Custom CSS may now also include media queries. (#505)
• Display of times could be off in the static HTML export. (#500)
• Not all current TLDs were used when processing markdown input to build links. (#503)
• The schedule import in the organiser backend never worked (while the manage command for administrators did work).
• If a review question was mandatory while submission questions were active, they would block the submission process.
• The HTML export contained media files (not other content) from all conferences on an instance, instead of only the exported conference. (#488)
• The behaviour of pressing enter in multi-step forms was unintuitive in some places. (#478)
• Following the revamp of team permissions, override votes could no longer be configured. This has been corrected, and the general handling of override votes was improved. (#473)
• Questions couldn't be deleted, only made inactive.
• Don't show a 404 error if a reviewer tries to review their own submission, but show an error message instead. (#463)
• Don't crash during pretalx init if no conference organiser slug is given. (#451)
