New version of sf_event_mgt released

The new version 1.0.0 of sf_event_mgt has been released. I decided not to increase the version number to 0.5.4 but to start with 1.0.0 now, as the extension runs stable in some projects I maintain and also there is no need to keep the extension in alpha/beta state any more. The new version contains some small bugfixes in the template files and also comes with some nice new features.

The double-opt in feature for the confirmation e-mail can now be configured to be optional ( settings.registration.autoConfirmation). If the new setting is activated, registrations by participants will automatically be confirmed.

For locations it is not possible to add latitude, longitude and a description. This can be useful, if the location should be shown on a map.

One feature, that has been requested by multiple users is the iCalendar download. For events, it is now possible to add a link, which downloads the event details as an iCalendar file. To keep things flexible, the iCalendar file is rendered through Fluid, so it is also possible to add own fields to the iCalendar file.

The last new major feature is the possibility to create a registration for multiple participants at once. There is a maximum amount of registrations, which can be configured for each event, so a user is not able to book all available places for an event at once.

All new features are also described in the manual of the extension. Additional details for this release can be found here.

Thanks to all users, who gave me feedback end new ideas for the extension!
