indico v2.3 Release Notes

Release Date: 2020-09-14 // over 3 years ago

  • 🍱 💡 Blog Post

    🚀 We published a blog post summarizing the most relevant changes for end users.

    🍱 🏆 Major Features

    • ➕ Add category roles, which are similar to local groups but within the scope of a category and its subcategories. They can be used for assigning permissions in any of these categories and events within such categories.
    • Events marked as "Invisible" are now hidden from the category's event list for everyone except managers (#4419, thanks @openprojects)
    • Introduce profile picture, which is for now only visible on the user dashboard (#4431, thanks @OmeGak)
    • Registrants can now be added to event ACLs. This can be used to easily restrict parts of an event to registered participants. If registration is open and a registration form is in the ACL, people will be able to access the registration form even if they would otherwise not have access to the event itself. It is also possible to restrict individual event materials and custom page/link menu items to registered participants. (#4477, #4528, #4505, #4507)
    • ➕ Add a new Editing module for papers, slides and posters which provides a workflow for having a team review the layout/formatting of such proceedings and then publish the final version on the page of the corresponding contribution. The Editing module can also be connected to an external microservice to handle more advanced workflows beyond what is supported natively by Indico.

    🍱 🎏 Internationalization

    • 🆕 New translation: Chinese (Simplified) 🇨🇳
