AMY release v1.5.0¶

Development of AMY in February had seen a boost due to the winter break, and that ended with today's release of v1.5.0.

New features¶

The biggest new features for this release:

new workshops requests once accepted are linked to resulting events
admins now can submit invoices from AMY

Other changes:

development and production software was updated
production assets (JavaScript and CSS files) are now compressed and served with unique name
persons merging was reworked and is now a lot better
it's possible to find duplicates in the database now
base templates were renamed to lower confusion
API returns award date for every person for every badge
added CSV renderer to some API endpoint for exporting members
debrief was renamed and also allows for CSV export
Award model gained awarded_by field pointing to the person responsible for awarding a badge
person lookup in some places now works for "Name Lastname" pattern too.
