2.8.2
🚀 Cloudlog Release Changelog
This release introduces several highly requested features and important fixes that enhance user management, improve data quality, and give administrators more control over system settings.
✨ New Features
- Public/Open Registration (Optional):
- Administrators can now enable public signup (open registration) in the options. This allows new users to self-register for Cloudlog without needing an administrator to create their account manually.
- Includes built-in form validation and an optional welcome email for new users. (Admin control required to enable this feature)
- Dedicated Award Settings:
- A new Award Settings section has been introduced, giving administrators a central place to manage how awards are processed and displayed.
- Easily activate or deactivate all awards or manage individual award preferences from one screen.
🛠️ Improvements and Fixes
- Smarter LoTW User Imports:
- The process for importing LoTW user data has been significantly improved. Cloudlog will now automatically deduplicate entries based on callsign, ensuring you only keep the latest, most accurate record. This reduces duplicate records and improves system performance.
- Simplified QRZ Import:
- The QRZ import logic has been streamlined to simplify the process.
- Enhanced System Management (For Hosted/Managed Deployments):
- If your Cloudlog instance is hosted or centrally managed, certain settings (like email configuration or open registration) may be locked down to prevent conflicts with the managed service. The application now clearly communicates when these restrictions are in place.
