Changelog

Version 1.1.0 [unreleased]

WIP

Version 1.0.3 [2022-08-03]

Bugfixes

Flagged tests that should not be run on a production environment: These tests depend on the static storage backend of the project. In a production environment, the filenames could get changed due to static minification and cache invalidation. Hence, these tests should not be run on the production environment because they'll fail.

Version 1.0.2 [2022-07-01]

Bugfixes

Fixed hardcoded static image URLs. These create issues when static files are served using an external service (e.g. S3 storage buckets).
Fixed "Organization.DoesNotExist" error on creating a new organization.

Version 1.0.1 [2022-06-09]

Bugfixes

Fixed handling of the "OPENWISP_NOTIFICATIONS_SOUND" setting. The code was not passing the sound file path to the utilities of django.contrib.staticfiles and hence the sound file was not loaded properly when using different static storage backend.

Version 1.0.0 [2022-04-28]
