Sortinghat

**New features:**

* Organization aliases (857)\
Organizations can be known by different names. To avoid duplicates,
organizations can have aliases. Searching for an organization using
one of its aliases returns the organization. When an organization is
merged into another, its name becomes an alias of the target
organization. If a name exists as an alias, no organization can be
created with that name and viceversa. An organization's aliases can be
added and deleted both on the organizations table and the single
organization view.


sortinghat 0.19.2 - (2024-02-08)

* Update Poetry's package dependencies

**Bug fixes:**

* Fix "Table 'django_session' doesn't exist" error\
Fixes the "Table 'django_session' doesn't exist" error for new
installs. For existing databases, run the following commands to create
the table: django-admin migrate --fake sessions zero django-admin
migrate

**New features:**

* Unify identities with same source\
Include a new option to only recommend or unify identities from
trusted sources like GitHub or GitLab that have the same username and
backend.

**Bug fixes:**

* Use correct base URL for login and change password API calls (851)\
The URLs called to login and change password now use the public path
found in vue.config.js if no API URL is specified.
* Authentication required fixed\
When the AUTHENTICATION_REQUIRED setting is set to False, any query to
the API is allowed.
* Display individual's most recent organization\
The individual's current affiliation is now the most recent one
instead of the oldest.
* CSRF token is only required on web requests\
The GraphQL API required the 'X-CSRFToken' header, but the token could
only be retrieved by making a GET request. Now, requests authenticated
using JWT don't need to provide the CSRF token and only the user
interface, which is vulnerable to CSRF attacks and uses a different
authentication, requires it.

**Performance improvements:**

* Performance of organizations query\
Improve organization query for the table by avoiding individual
queries.

**New features:**

* Link to profile in individual cards (837)\
The name on the individuals cards now links to the member's profile.
* Open calendar to the side of the date input (838)\
The date picker calendar that is used to edit affiliation dates now
opens to the right side of the text field to avoid covering it.
* Improved readability of job settings\
The options for the "unify" and "recommend matches" jobs are now
displayed in a clearer way.
* Improved loading time when looking for organizations\
The autocomplete field that is used to affiliate individuals to
organizations now makes fewer and lighter requests to find them,
resulting in faster loading times.

**Performance improvements:**

* Performance on affiliation recommendations improved\
We have improved the affiliation performance by one order of magnitude
removing unnecessary queries to the database.

**New features:**

* Gitdm identities importer\
New SortingHat identities importer for Gitdm format. This backend is
configured with three parameters: a URL pointing to the file that
matches emails with organizations, an optional URL for an aliases file
that associates emails, and a flag for email validation to verify the
validity of the provided email addresses.

**Bug fixes:**

* Fix individual page not loading\
The individual's view was not loading when the workspace had not been
used before or the cache was cleared.

**Performance improvements:**

* Recommendations performance improved\
Improve the recommendations performance by reducing the number of
queries to the database and only generating recommendations between
individuals that are directly related.
