Release 4.14.0 of pretix

Today, we are releasing pretix 4.14.0, which includes a new option for voucher management. Other than that, this is mostly a maintenance release, fixing lots of bugs and improving on smaller features throughout the system.

Big thanks go to Andreas Grillenberger, Fazenda Dengo, Florian Kohler, fyksen, Julian Rother, and Yvo van Doorn who contributed to this release. ❤️

pretix 4.14.0 is now available for installation via pip. The new Docker images will appear on Docker over the next few hours. All customers of pretix Hosted are already using the new version and do not need to take any action.

Minimum usage number for vouchers

We've added a new option for vouchers in this release. In addition to the maximum number of usages, you can now also specify a minimum number of usages. This can be helpful if you want to issue a voucher that should only be redeemd for a group booking.

The minimum number only restricts the first use of a voucher. For example, if you set a voucher to have a minimum number of usages of 10 and a maximum number of usages of 20, the first purchase using the voucher needs to include at least 10 products. However, a second purchase of two additional products is allowed.
