### 314
Mar 22 2016
 - Revamp of the Human Resources Application and Management System
   - see the [docs](../features/hrapplications.md) for how to use the new system
   - a completely untested conversion script exists. If you want to view your old models, contact Adarnof to try it out
 - Moved Error Handling for the API Keys to the API Calls to better handle API server outages
 - Removed the infamous database update task
   - implemented a receiver to update service groups as they change

To remove the database update task from the scheduler, navigate to your django admin site, and delete the run_databaseUpdate model from the periodic tasks. Restart celery.

Mumble now uses an ICE authenticator. This requires an additional dependency. Please install `libbz2-dev` and `libssl-dev` prior to running the update script:

    sudo apt-get install libbz2-dev libssl-dev

Now run the update script.

Old Mumble accounts are incompatible. Users will need to recreate them (sorry). To clear the old ones out:

    python manage.py shell
    from services.tasks import disable_mumble
    disable_mumble()

To set up the authenticator, follow the [Mumble setup guide.](../installation/services/mumble.md)

Optional: you can delete the entire mumble database block in settings.py

Settings.py got nuked. Backup your current settings.py, copy the example, and repopulate.

New caching directory for requests - if you're using apache to serve the site, `cache/` needs to be writable by the webserver. Easiest way is to `chown -R www-data:www-data cache` from within the allianceauth install dir.

New settings.py template. Make a backup of the old one, copy the example, and populate.

### 87
Nov 15 2015

A couple quality-of-life improvements.

 - corrected an error in the Teamspeak3 Manager improperly parsing responses
 - added the ability to hide groups from the web interface

New permissions for the `HiddenGroup` model only affect the admin site (default model permissions)

### 72
Nov 5th 2015

On November 5th we performed two major pulls from Adarnof’s and Kaezon’s forks.

Improvements include:

 - ability to deploy for either corp or alliance
 - improved logic for member status transitions
 - group syncing to TS3
 - template corrections

Migration to the new version is a bit trickier because of changes to settings.py - it's easiest to archive the old one, make a copy of the new template, and repopulate it.
