This release is the last major release of 2018. It contains major new features and enhancements, including the ability to upload photos.

Upgrade notes

⚠️ Please make sure you backup your database before upgrading.

This version requires to run migrations (php artisan migrate).

There are 4 new ENV variables that need to be set if you want to take advantages of the new features introduced in this version.

• ENABLE_GEOLOCATION: enables the translation of addresses into longitude/latitude automatically. This is necessary for the weather feature (see below).
• LOCATION_IQ_API_KEY: the API key for LocationIQ, which is used to translate addresses to get GPS coordinates. LocationIQ provides a very generous free plan that anyone can use.
• ENABLE_WEATHER: enables to display the current weather on a contact profile page.
• DARKSKY_API_KEY: the API key for Darksky which provides the weather data.

Of course, no personal information is ever transmitted to external services.

🌍Thanks so much to our contributors and translators for their work.
