AMY release v1.1

04 Nov 2015

This is the second post-gsoc release of AMY, the workshop management tool for Software-Carpentry. Below you can find a release notes for version 1.1.

Announcement

I’m very happy to announce that development of AMY versions 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 is supported by prof. Ethan White. Thanks a lot!

v1.1

Bug fixes

Can the low number of bug fixes mean that AMY’s getting mature? I hope so!

Small typo in README.md fixed.
Logic for displaying uninvoiced events was fixed so that events marked as uninvoiced but without any admin fee do show up on the dashboard.
Fields layout on the profile update request details page was changed to avoid confusion.
Better wording in email request to workshop hosts for attendees figures.

New features

New switch for Open/Closed requests (both profile update requests and workshop requests). Admins will be able to look up dismissed or finished requests.
“Recently changed” log was moved to a separate view so that it doesn’t clutter the dashboard.
Some objects (events, hosts, persons, airports, tasks) are followed by django-reversion. Thanks to that fact we can now show who+when created any of these objects and who+when last modified it.
Each event marked as “uninvoiced” can easily be invoiced by the admin thanks to the new “Invoice” button on the event’s details page.
New report: people who have been through instructor training but didn’t finish.
Self-organized workshops can now have a “self-organized” host.
New report: show how often instructors teach.
Admins can mark events as completed and throw them out of the filter results.
Big: events can have multiple TODO items associated with them.

Next release

There’s already a big pile of things to do for the v1.2 release. I can guess that only a number of the issues will be fixed. It’s good, because otherwise there would be nothing for me to do for v1.3. :)
