Release 4.18.0 of pretix

Today, we are releasing pretix 4.18.0. This is mostly a maintainance release with bugfixes and minor improvements as we are working on bigger changes in the background.

Big thanks go to alemao8, chondaen12, Daniel Lopez, Hanna Happl, Michael Happl, Michele Pagnozzi, and Vasco Baleia who contributed to this release. ❤️

pretix 4.18.0 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.

Integration of city gift cards

We have implemented an integration of the gift card solutions by Zmyle and Stadtguthaben within pretix. Gift card networks by these two vendors are deployed in almost 200 cities throughout Germany and many individual companies. You can now accept these gift cards through your ticket shop as well!
