Release 3.16.0 of pretix

Today, we are releasing pretix 3.16.0. This release brings an bulk-edit option for event series dates, pictures in ticket layouts, and much more.

Big thanks go to Irmantas, Jaakko Rinta-Filppula, Maarten van den Berg, and Ondřej Sokol who contributed to this release. ❤️

pretix 3.16.0 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.

Bulk-edit of event series dates

When using pretix to handle use-cases with time slots, you quickly end up with event series containing hundreds or thousands of dates. If configuration changes come up, such as an increased or decreased quota, it has previously required a lot of steps to update a larger number of dates at once.

With the new release, we provide a bulk-edit mode that allows you to quickly update all or many dates in an event series at once.

Pictures in layouts

Ticket and badge layouts just got way more powerful: They can now include dynamic images. These could be provided by future plugins, but they can also contain user-uploaded images in file question fields. This allows to put photos of attendees on their tickets and badges.

This will become even more useful with new versions of pretixSCAN and pretixPOS being rolling out in the next weeks adding support for taking pictures when selling or scanning tickets.

Improved meta properties

Most major organizations using pretix across multiple business units use our custom meta properties. This feature allows them to define their own event-level fields. This makes it easier to connect pretix events with other internal systems. We've now extended this feature in multiple ways:

• You can now mark a field as required which will prevent publishing an event that does not have a value in that field.

• You can now provide a fixed list of allowed values that can be chosen.

• You can now mark a field as restricted which will restrict filling in data to people with admin access to your organizer account.
