    👉 users from viewing them (PR #325)

  • Create the database using SQLAlchemy's db.create_all and stamp it as
    ✅ 'latest' instead of going through all migrations.
  • 🛠 Fixes a bug that prevented users to activate their accounts via the form
    input.
  • 🛠 Fixes a translations bug that wouldn't take the territory code into account
    when choosing a language (#299).
  • 🛠 Fixes a bug which would not show all conversations in the conversations view.
  • Fixes a bug that made a forum section inaccessible when the last_post_id
    of a topic was set to None.
  • ⚡️ Various translations updated.
  • 🛠 Multiple permission fixes and various other fixes.
