New Feature Configurations

• SORMAS_TO_SORMAS_ACCEPT_REJECT: If enabled, when sharing data with other SORMAS instances, a preview of the data to be shared will be sent first to allow users on the receiving instance to either accept or reject it.
• PERSON_DUPLICATE_CUSTOM_SEARCH: Activates an alternative option in the duplicate person dialog that allows users to search for persons that the system has not marked as potential duplicates.
• EVENT_PARTICIPANT_RELATED_TO_OTHER_EVENTS_NOTIFICATIONS: Enables/disables the sending of email and SMS notifications to responsible users of events if persons that are part of their assigned events are added as event participants to additional events.
• EVENT_HIERARCHIES: Allows users to hierarchically structure events by setting them as superordinate or subordinate events of other events. (Only the feature configuration has been added, the feature is already part of SORMAS).

New Properties

• duplicatechecks.excludepersonsonlylinkedtoarchivedentries: Excludes persons that are only related to archived cases, contacts or event participants when searching for duplicate persons.
• map.usecountrycenter: If set to true, the dashboard map will always center on the country.center coordinates defined in sormas.properties.
