Release 2.7.0 of pretix

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. ❤️

pretix 2.7.0 is now available for installation via pip. The new docker images will appear on Docker Hub over the next few hours. All customers of pretix Hosted are already using the new version and do not need to take any action.
