Nov 1, 2024Nov 2024 — PrivacyIdea project: Delivered targeted backend improvements, admin tooling enhancements, localization, and documentation reliability, aligned with ongoing release readiness. Key work modernized database migrations across SQLite and non-auto_increment databases by introducing Identity() for the internal user ID column, reducing migration risk and enabling broader DB support. Admin tooling gained a -p/--password option in the pimanage CLI to explicitly set new administrator passwords. Offline token deletion logic was corrected to delete per-machine tokens with options like rounds and count. German localization for the WebUI was completed, updating translations and metadata. ReadTheDocs build reliability was improved through Python version and Sphinx context updates. Release readiness was reinforced with v3.10.2dev1 preparation and changelog alignment. These efforts collectively reduce deployment risk, enhance security and user experience for German-speaking users, and strengthen release processes.
