AMY release v1.5.1

This post originally appeared on the Software Carpentry website.

We’re very pleased to announce the newest (v1.5.1) release of AMY, our workshop management tool. This release is special because:

1. it contains more bugfixes than new features
2. we had a number of submissions from prospective Google Summer of Code 2016 (GSoC) students.

GSoC students that submitted fixes or new features to AMY:

• Shubham Singh added “Notes” field to instructor profile update form
• Nikhil Verma found and fixed “List duplicates” page error when no duplicates existed
• Shubham Singh added new tag “hackaton”
• Chris Medrela found and fixed 404 page for revisions that didn’t exist

Additionally Nikhil Verma is working on getting certificates to generate from within AMY, but this will probably land in v1.5.2.

Apart from GSoC students we’ve had a number of contributions from our very own Maneesha Sane, Greg Wilson and Piotr Banaszkiewicz.

If you want to read more about changes introduced in v1.5.1, here’s the changelog.

Thanks to all new contributors!
