Release 2.7.0 of pretix

9. Mai 2019

Today, we are releasing the next monthly release of pretix. pretix 2.7 doesn't include any large new features, but lots of maintainance updates, improvements and little features everywhere. Big thanks go out to Chris Spy, David Hundertmark, Maarten van den Berg, mussol, oocf, Sohalt, ThanosTeste, and Tobias Sundgren who contributed to this release. ❤️
