Changelog

All the changes since the introduction of our changelog.

Tuesday, 19th March 2019

  • Fixed
    In dark theme mode, the text in the navigation search bar is now readable again.
  • Fixed
    We fixed an issue where organisers couldn’t add new members to event teams.

Friday, 15th March 2019

  • New
    Event news articles now have the author stored and shown in order to attribute them properly.
  • New
    Added a maintenance mode to perform migrations more easily. This will improve the reliability even in the case of larger updates.

Thursday, 28th February 2019

  • Improved
    We added acceptance and regression tests to our internal Metrics endpoint to ensure its output is working correctly and we can monitor our platform data and server status properly.
  • Fixed
    We fixed an issue where users who weren’t signed in got an error on our newsletter page.

Thursday, 7th February 2019

  • New
    Our PGP public key is now published on our website. If you would like to encrypt your communication with us, you can do it now.
  • New
    Our changelog now supports Markdown to make it easier to link to features of pages within our website.
  • Improved
    Added password rehashing mechanism and convert passwords to Argon2i/Argon2id. We added a mechanism to rehash user passwords during login if the default hashing algorithm has changed. This ensures user password hashes (we don’t store the password itself) are as safely created as possible. The chosen algorithm depends on the PHP version used on the server.

Friday, 1st February 2019

  • New
    Added a well-Known URL for Changing Passwords. This will help our users to find the way to change their password from e.g. a password manager.

    Clearer wording for create and suggest event action and some page titles.
  • Fixed
    The organiser card on detail pages of events is shown again.
  • Fixed
    Some strings where not properly escaped when printed inside the HTML context. Because of our strict content security policy this was not a security risk, but we changed it now to be applied everywhere consistently.
  • Fixed
    We don’t show events of non-approved users anymore.
  • Fixed
    Fixed a payment issue with our provider.
