Release 3.13.0 of pretix

Today, we are releasing pretix 3.13.0. This is mostly a maintenance release, fixing lots of bugs and improving on smaller features throughout the system.

Big thanks go to David Vaz, Jaakko Rinta-Filpulla, Maarten van den Berg, Mie Frydensbjerg, Miguel Magalhães, Nics, and tlm06, who contributed to this release. ❤️

pretix 3.13.0 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.
