codam-web-greeter v1.3.5

• Fixed squished user avatars on lock screens for both nody-greeter and web-greeter when the aspect ratio didn't match 1:1 (issue #39)
• Fixed a crash that could occur when an exam session was started while a computer didn't have an active network connection (issue #38)
• Changed the color of recurring events to make them stand out less in the calendar ("Bocal Stand-up", "Bocal Q&A", "Open hour with the Student Council", etc.). In a future update, you will be able to specify which events are recurring in a settings file.
• Changed the color of the dialog close button to make it more visible
• Technical under-the-hood change: allow blocking of the authenticationComplete AuthenticatorEvents event. This makes it possible to attach some kind of hook to this event, allowing for more UI customization before the user session starts (e.g. UI animations, custom dialogs)

Full Changelog: v1.3.0...v1.3.1

• Student's Intra profile pictures now get downloaded to ~/.face on login (don't forget to update the back-end server for this to work)

Full Changelog: v1.2.0...v1.2.1

codam-web-greeter v1.2.0

• Reworked idle logout services. We're no longer solely relying on xprintidle; a temporary timestamp file is created when the screen is locked if the greeter was installed properly through ansible-codam-web-greeter, if using v1.4.0 or higher. This should resolve issues where students sometimes were not automatically logged out after 42 minutes of inactivity.
• Added light theme. Dark theme will remain the default.
• Added optional boxed mode, where the login/unlock form has a semi-transparent background for better readability
• Bumped several server dependencies
• Removed screensaver support due to excessive power usage (refer to the release notes of ansible-web-greeter v1.3.0 for details)
• Added a check to prevent the codam-web-greeter-cleanup systemd service from running on non-student accounts

Due to the newly added light theme and boxed mode, various prebuilt zips will from now on be provided for each Release. Choose the one of your liking, they all behave the same and merely look slightly different.

Full Changelog: v1.1.0...v1.2.0

codam-web-greeter v1.1.0

• Added custom screensaver support to prevent starting the exam on space bar press when the screen is blanking (requires ansible-codam-web-greeter v1.2.0 or higher)
• Added keybinding to override exam mode and log in as a normal user (Ctrl+Alt+E)

Full Changelog: v1.0.11...v1.1.0
