[Unity-idm-discuss] 2.7.1 released, Unity @ Weblate

[Krzysztof B. <kb...@un...>]

Dear Subscribers,

Two updates this time:

1. *Unity 2.7.1 was released*

The main focus was on improvements in speed of loading users list and 
groups tree in AdminUI (significant if you have thousands of 
users/groups or just a slow DB). AdminUI scales now nicely up to tens of 
thousands of users and similar number of groups - what was a problem so 
far, especially with slower RDBMS storage backends. We have future plans 
for scaling AdminUI even more - to support millions of users - but this 
will require some compromises in functionality.

There is also a performance bugfix for admins who were members of many 
groups (100+): using AdminUI by such users is not extremely slow 
anymore, there is no difference on amount of group memberships.

Other improvements include enhanced message templates loading: Unity can 
be configured to load configured templates on startup overwriting the 
templates stored in DB and AdminUI allows for reloading templates from 
configuration at runtime. There are also several other minor enhancements:

  * UY-812 <https://dev.unity-idm.eu/jira/browse/UY-812> Fix sorting and
    searching on authN screen
  * UY-793 <https://dev.unity-idm.eu/jira/browse/UY-793> More flexible
    OAuth trusted URL matching
  * UY-795 <https://dev.unity-idm.eu/jira/browse/UY-795> Subject text
    field in template editor should be 100% wide
  * UY-813 <https://dev.unity-idm.eu/jira/browse/UY-813> Allow to
    configure a custom link for signup on authentication screen
  * UY-814 <https://dev.unity-idm.eu/jira/browse/UY-814> Enable
    Norwegian locale


2. *Unity is now hosted at Weblate*

Weblate is an open source web translation management system. If you want 
to contribute with translating Unity it should be very easy starting 
now. Everybody can join and start fixing localized strings right away. 
What is more the platform keeps track of what has changed in the base 
translations making translation maintenance simpler. See:

https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/unity-idm/

The system is integrated with Unity repository and we accept pull 
requests directly to Unity's Github repository.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
