Update Instructions

If you are managing a SORMAS server, please do the following BEFORE updating to this version: * Enable the unaccent extension for PostgreSQL: CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS unaccent;

New Feature Configurations

Three new feature configurations have been added to the database: * EVENT_GROUPS: Allows users to group events for organizational purposes. Enabled by default. * EVENT_GROUPS_MODIFICATION_NOTIFICATIONS: Enables/disables the sending of email and SMS notifications to responsible users when events are added to or removed from event groups. Disabled by default. * GDPR_CONSENT_POPUP: Enables or disables the GDPR consent popup that the user has to confirm after logging in. Disabled by default, so if you want to continue using this feature, please enable it.
