Major Features
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Category managers now see a log of all changes made to their category in a
category log (similar to the event log). This log includes information about
all events being created, deleted or moved in the category (:issue:`2809`,
:pr:`5029`)
- Besides letting everyone create events in a category or restricting it to
specific users, categories now also support a moderation workflow which allows
event managers to request moving an event to a category. Only once a category
manager approves this request, the event is actually moved (:issue:`2057`, :pr:`5013`)
- Admins now have the option to enable "Unlisted events", which are events that
are not (yet) assigned to a category. Such events are only accessible to its
creator and other users who have been granted access explicitly, and do not
show up in any category's event listing (:issue:`4294`, :issue:`5055`, :pr:`5023`,
:pr:`5095`)
Improvements

- Send event reminders as individual emails with the recipient in the To field
instead of using BCC (:issue:`2318`, :pr:`5088`)

of registrations by the presence or absence of specific tags (:issue:`4948`,
:pr:`5091`)
- Allow importing registration invitations from a CSV file (:issue:`3673`, :pr:`5108`)
- Show event label on category overviews and in iCal event titles (:issue:`5140`,
:pr:`5143`)
- Let event managers view the final timetable even while in draft mode (:issue:`5141`,
:pr:`5145`)
- Add option to export role members as CSV (:issue:`5147`, :pr:`5156`)
- Include attachment checksums in API responses (:issue:`5084`, :pr:`5169`, thanks
:user:`avivace`)
- iCalendar invites now render nicely in Outlook (:pr:`5178`)
- Envelope senders for emails can now be restricted to specific addresses/domains
using the :data:`SMTP_ALLOWED_SENDERS` and :data:`SMTP_SENDER_FALLBACK` config
settings (:issue:`4837`, :issue:`2224`, :issue:`1877`, :pr:`5179`)
- Allow filtering the contribution list based on whether any person (speaker or author)
has registered for the event or not (:issue:`5192`, :pr:`5193`)
- Add background color option and layer order to badge/poster designer items (:pr:`5139`,
thanks :user:`SegiNyn`)
