Attendance - Releases

Added

• Statistics across all appointments: a new page evaluates responses and attendance per person over a period you pick — year, half-year, quarter or a free date range. It shows the response, acceptance and attendance rate per person, grouped by group or team, and charts the development over time, per group and per category. Pick a person to see every appointment they were invited to, with their answer, check-in and comment
• Mismatches between answer and attendance are called out: who accepted but was recorded absent, and who declined but came anyway
• New permission "May see everyone's statistics": without it the page shows your own numbers only, so everyone keeps a personal overview. It starts at "nobody"; an install that had restricted "Manage appointments" to specific groups hands the new permission to those same groups on update
• Export the statistics as an ODS spreadsheet into your Attendance folder in Files

Fixed

• The "awaiting your response" banner was missing from the full appointment list
• Page headings sat at different heights depending on the view, and could collide with the navigation toggle

Added

• Notifications when an appointment changes: moving it, adding attendees, or bringing a cancelled one back now pushes everyone affected, with the actor's name. Series edits and edits made by dragging the event in the Calendar app notify too — a series edit aggregates into one push per person
• Admin setup wizard: fresh installs guide the admin through the permission setup, prompt for the first appointment, and offer the audit log — shown in the empty list instead of a banner
• Self check-in is now mentioned in the mobile app banner

Fixed

• The loading label no longer lands on top of the spinner
• German translations: audited against what the code means, fixed the response notifications to name an appointment, German quotes „…“ throughout. German is now owned by this repo and off the Transifex sync

Maintenance

• Gate the English source strings in CI
• Updated npm and composer dependencies

Fixed

• Copying an appointment could leave you locked out of your own copy: whoever creates an appointment without the manage permission now always stays one of its organizers, so the copy stays editable
• The category icon in the filter chips sat in front of the filter name and looked like it belonged to it — it now stands next to the category name
• German translations: restored wording that the nightly Transifex sync had dropped or rewritten, made formal German use the polite form throughout, and fixed two activity-history lines that used a plural verb for a single person

Added

• A place for each appointment: a free-text location, shown on the cards and in the exports, suggesting the places you used before. Tap it to open the place on OpenStreetMap, or Google Maps from the detail page. Calendar subscriptions and the organization calendar carry it as the event location
• Categories for appointments: admins manage a list of categories, each with a name and an icon. Assign one per appointment and it shows as a badge next to the title. Deleting a category keeps its appointments, they only lose the badge
• Filter by place and category in the appointment list

Fixed

• Upgrading to 1.44.0 could leave a server in maintenance mode: the permission migration could fail mid-upgrade and abort the whole Nextcloud update. Upgrading to 1.45.0 completes it
• Audit history showed internal names instead of the translated location, category and organizers fields
• Restored German translations that the last Transifex sync dropped

Added

• Explicit permission modes: every permission in the admin settings now stores an access mode — all users, specific groups, or nobody — chosen via radio buttons, so you don't have to know the old fallback rules (an empty list used to mean "everyone" for some permissions and "nobody" for others). A migration backfills the mode on every install without changing who can do what
• Counts-only response summary: people without the full response overview now see how the answers are distributed (yes/no/maybe/not answered, without names) once they hold the new permission "See response counts". Open to everyone while unconfigured, restrictable per group. The mobile app gates its summary bar on a new capability
• Create appointment in the navigation: the create button now sits at the top of the navigation like in other Nextcloud apps, instead of in the page

Changed

• Admin settings auto-save: permissions save as you change them (per row, so concurrent admins can't clobber each other) and the save button is gone. The page is regrouped — permissions first, then self check-in setup — with an anchor navigation on top
• Dashboard widget is more compact: entries drop the description and use text-only response pills, and the answer buttons no longer wrap apart on narrow screens

Fixed

• Self check-ins in the activity history now read "{actor} checked in" instead of naming no one, and the source badge no longer shows a raw internal key

Maintenance

• Updated npm and composer dependencies and moved to Node 24 LTS

Added

• Organization calendar: pick a writable calendar in the admin settings and every appointment is pushed there as an event — created, updated and removed automatically, cancellations included. Share the calendar with your groups and everyone sees all appointments in the Calendar app. The event description carries the response summary, and a backfill button pushes all upcoming appointments on demand
• Answers on behalf of others: managers can set or clear a person's answer from the response summary (pencil icon). The audit history records who answered for whom. Guarded by the new permission "Can set responses for other users" — no group has it until an admin assigns it
• Scheduled filter: the appointment list can show only the appointments you are scheduled in for

Changed

• Requires Nextcloud 32 or later

Fixed

• Calendar subscription no longer shows "Not scheduled" while an inquiry is still open or when scheduling is not used — the verdict appears only once it is final
• Close and reopen inquiry labels are translatable again

Maintenance

• Updated translations from Transifex

Added

• Organizers for each appointment: every appointment now has its own organizers. They may edit and delete it, see responses, comments and the history, schedule attendees and send reminders — without being a manager of the whole app. The new permission "Create appointments" hands appointment creation to a group of your choice, and whoever creates an appointment becomes its organizer. Existing appointments keep their creator as organizer, so nothing changes for you when you update
• Appointments you were not scheduled for now disappear: if scheduling is switched on and someone else got the place, the appointment leaves your dashboard widget, and the list has a new filter step that shows only the appointments you are still part of. Appointments where nobody was scheduled stay visible for everyone
• A summary bar for responses and check-ins: the appointment card shows at a glance how the answers are distributed — and how many people were checked in — as a proportional bar. Until now there were only chips with the plain counts
• Buttons for headings in the description editor

Improved

• A new look for the appointment cards: in the list you see a compact card with the title linking to the details, icons for date, place and category, a short description with the number of attachments, the answer buttons and the new summary bar. The detail page shows the whole picture: your scheduling status next to the title, an explanation of your answer, and one row per person instead of grey boxes. The dashboard widget now uses the same answer buttons as the rest of the app
• Comments are saved with a button instead of automatically after a pause, and a comment you already wrote is open right away on the detail page
• Notifications about scheduling now speak to people directly and thank them ("Thank you! You are scheduled for this appointment.")
• Headings are no longer oversized and the levels are easy to tell apart

Fixed

• Someone who did not get a place now reads "you are not scheduled" on the card instead of only "you answered yes"
• A cancelled appointment no longer accepts answers — this now also applies to the buttons in mobile notifications, to the quick-answer link and to older versions of the mobile app. The quick-answer page says that the appointment was cancelled instead of asking you to try again
• Appointments opened from the "All appointments" view no longer lead to an error page after a reload or when the link is shared; links that are already out there are redirected
• Cancelled appointments can no longer be edited and no longer appear under Upcoming or Past in the sidebar
• Screen readers read out the appointment title without the status labels

Maintenance

• German translations completed, context notes for translators, and updates from Transifex
• npm and composer dependencies updated, including a security fix for brace-expansion (CVE-2026-14257)

Fixed

• Admin test notifications now arrive even when the admin has already responded to the next appointment (the already-responded dismissal swallowed them silently)

Maintenance

• Updated or simplified translations

Fixed

• Completed the German translations for the self-check-in, subscription and activity-log strings that were still showing in English
• Renamed the admin self-check-in setup heading from "Self-check-in possibilities" to the clearer "Set up self-check-in"

Added

• Admin self-check-in settings split the code section into separate QR code and NFC tag blocks for clearer setup

Fixed

• Self-check-in nextUpcoming payload now sends UTC-marked datetimes, so the mobile app shows the correct check-in window across time zones

Maintenance

• Updated npm and composer dependencies
• Translations updated from Transifex

Added

• Self-check-in via QR code or NFC: attendees check themselves in by scanning an instance QR code or tapping an NFC tag. This feature is only available in the mobile app, which will be released beginning of August. The check-in window is admin-configurable (default: 30 minutes before start, always closes at appointment end) and every self-check-in is recorded in the activity history with its source (QR / NFC). Admin settings show the instance QR code (with download), the NFC URL to copy, and NFC tag shopping advice. The /self-checkin web page is now a get-the-app landing page with store links and a deep link that auto-opens the app
• Scheduling: plan yes-responders into an appointment — each yes-response can be marked as "Scheduled". Closing an inquiry sends a notification wave to scheduled attendees (with confirmation dialog), and the calendar feed reflects the scheduling status in title and busy/free transparency. Instance-wide opt-in via admin settings, off by default
• Cancel appointments: cancel an appointment as a distinct state next to closing, including the option to reactivate it later
• 15-minute step grid for the time fields in the create form

Improved

• Closed inquiries move out of the "Unanswered" sidebar section immediately
• Nextcloud 34 support

Fixed

• Response overview and comments are now gated server-side, not only hidden in the UI
• App icon themes correctly in dark mode

Maintenance

Fixed

• Response overview and comments are now gated server-side, not only hidden in the UI
• App icon themes correctly in dark mode

Maintenance

• Translations updated from Transifex

Added

• Inquiry lifecycle in the activity history: the timeline now also records when an inquiry was created, edited, closed, or re-opened. Auto-close events show as "Inquiry closed automatically"; edits list which categories changed (name, time, description, visibility, response deadline) without storing the raw before/after values

Improved

• Per-response icons in the activity history: ✓ / ? / ✗ for yes / maybe / no, tinted in the matching response color so a glance is enough to tell entries apart
• AutoCloseJob records one audit row per affected appointment (with source: auto_close) so the timeline distinguishes manual and automatic closes

Added

• Activity history: every response submit, change, withdraw, comment update, and every check-in is recorded in a new audit log. The appointment detail view shows the events as an "Activity history" section with verb-specific icons, actor, timestamp, and source (web / email link / admin check-in / historic backfill)
• User-deletion hook anonymises actor and subject IDs to __deleted_user__ and strips PII from event metadata while preserving the audit chain
• Opt-in activity push notifications when team members respond, change, or withdraw a response. The toggle in personal settings is only shown to users who can actually receive them (manage-appointments permission and audit log enabled)
• Response withdraw: users can take back their own response by clicking the active answer again. The row stays (preserves admin check-in data) but the user appears as unanswered again. Short cool-down absorbs accidental double-taps; closed inquiries refuse the toggle
• Guest participation via the Nextcloud Guests app: organizers can invite people without a Nextcloud account directly from the appointment editor by typing an email address. The new "Create guest account for {email}" entry provisions a guest user and adds it to the appointment audience in one step (#43)
• guest_app system group renders as "Guests" everywhere (admin selector, response summary, user details); guest accounts can never gain manage_appointments or checkin permissions even if their group is whitelisted

Improved

• Personal settings auto-save the calendar-reminder triggers and the new notifications toggle on change — the dangling Save button is gone
• "All appointments" navigation item moved to the very top of the sidebar; admins now land there by default, everyone else still lands on "Unanswered"
• Quick-response confirmation page shows a dedicated "closed inquiry" banner instead of a generic error

Fixed

• Reminders refuse to send for closed inquiries (bulk + individual paths, plus the admin preview)
• Dashboard widget filters by target audience instead of by appointment creator, matching the in-app sidebar behaviour
• Collaborator search in the appointment editor no longer caps at 20 results
• "Audience" filter renamed to "Relevance" for consistency with the surrounding terminology

Maintenance

• Translations updated from Transifex
• Repair step short-circuits on the happy path (skips schema introspection when the column probe succeeds)

Added

• Close inquiry: close an appointment with an optional response deadline, after which the appointment is automatically closed by a background job
• Relative deadline mode: set deadlines relative to appointment start (e.g. "2 hours before") with a toggle for absolute/relative in the bulk editor
• Auto-close appointments once they have started (via background job)
• Dedicated "All appointments" view with Upcoming and Past sections
• New Filter row with sidebar search and "Only for me" filter (for admins seeing normally all appointments)
• Reminders for maybe-responders: bell icon inline next to each "Maybe" badge, bulk remind dialog with target picker (non-responders / maybe / both)
• Admin setting to choose who receives automatic reminders

Improved

• Unanswered view and widget now implicitly filters to appointments addressed to the current user so you don't see unnecessary stuff

Maintenance

• Translations updated from Transifex

Fixed

• Creating appointments no longer fails with TypeError: isGroupAllowedCached(): Argument #1 ($groupId) must be of type string, int given when a group or user has a numeric-string ID (#63)

Maintenance

• Repaired stale unit tests (AppointmentServiceTest, AttendanceResponseTest, PermissionServiceTest) and added regression tests for #63
• Release workflow now runs PHPUnit in parallel with the e2e suite
• Translations updated from Transifex

Added

• Personal settings page under Settings > Personal > Attendance
• Configurable iCal calendar reminders (VALARM) for accepted/tentative appointments – users can select multiple reminder times (default: 1 hour before appointment)

Improved

• Better industry standards implemented for iCal feed especially for auto refresh in nextcloud calendar (now refreshing every 15 min if possible)

Fixed

• Non-responding user list now wraps properly on long lists instead of overflowing and clicking user name now opens the remind popover (instead of only the small bell icon)
• Mobile app banner now has consistent padding with the rest of the page

Maintenance

• Translations updated from Transifex

Added

• Promote mobile apps in web UI and admin settings to help users discover the mobile app

Fixed

• Appointment detail endpoint now returns null for userResponse when the user has not responded, instead of returning partial data
• Browser tab title correctly shows "Attendance - Nextcloud" again (regressed with the Vite 7 upgrade)

Maintenance

• Updated all PHP and JavaScript dependencies, fixed all ESLint errors
• Translations updated from Transifex

Added

• Import recurring calendar events as individual appointments
• "Already imported" badge in the calendar event picker

Fixed

• Calendar sync did not work reliably for events imported from external calendars (e.g. Google Calendar)
• Deleting or modifying calendar events now syncs to linked appointments more reliably

Fixed

• Fix oversized app icons in email notifications by reducing SVG dimensions to 20x20
• Improve notification handling with defer/flush, markProcessed, and proper exceptions

Maintenance

• Translations updated from Transifex

Added

• Manual reminder feature: send reminders to users who haven't responded to an appointment yet
• Push device status and test button in admin settings to verify push notification setup

Fixed

• Navigate to overview after appointment deletion instead of staying on deleted appointment page
• Prevent double-submit when deleting appointments

Maintenance

• Translations updated from Transifex

Added

• Push notification support for the mobile app
• Admin setting to enable/disable mobile push notifications
• Notification preference now persists when copying appointments

Maintenance

• Translations updated from Transifex

Fixed

• Notification checkbox ("Send notification") not shown when creating appointments, caused by loading notification status from admin-only endpoint instead of capabilities API

Added

• E2e test for notification option visibility on appointment creation form

Maintenance

• Translations updated from Transifex

Fixed

• Checkin response restricted to yes/no only, preventing invalid values
• Checkin response parameter made nullable to handle missing responses correctly
• Checkin comment bugs resolved

Improved

• API refactored: separated admin and user concerns into distinct controllers with consistent response wrapping and typed responses
• E2e tests decoupled for parallel execution

Maintenance

• Translations updated from Transifex

Added

• Reminder preview on admin settings page showing when reminders would fire based on the next upcoming appointment
• Next approximate reminder job run time displayed in admin settings

Fixed

• Send notification checkbox not showing on appointment creation form due to stale response.data.success check
• Tracking groups not loading in appointment form due to same issue
• ReminderJob crashing entirely when Notifications app throws an Error (now catches \Throwable and continues)

Added

• Date range picker for calendar import, replacing the fixed 90-day window with a user-selectable date range (defaults to today through 60 days)

Maintenance

Maintenance

Changed

• Translations updated from Transifex

Maintenance

• Removed duplicate release trigger and unused CI workflow

Changed

• Add Nextcloud 33 compatibility

Added

• Statistics across all appointments: a new page evaluates responses and attendance per person over a period you pick — year, half-year, quarter or a free date range. It shows the response, acceptance and attendance rate per person, grouped by group or team, and charts the development over time, per group and per category. Pick a person to see every appointment they were invited to, with their answer, check-in and comment
• Mismatches between answer and attendance are called out: who accepted but was recorded absent, and who declined but came anyway
• New permission "May see everyone's statistics": without it the page shows your own numbers only, so everyone keeps a personal overview. It starts at "nobody"; an install that had restricted "Manage appointments" to specific groups hands the new permission to those same groups on update
• Export the statistics as an ODS spreadsheet into your Attendance folder in Files

Fixed

• The "awaiting your response" banner was missing from the full appointment list
• Page headings sat at different heights depending on the view, and could collide with the navigation toggle

Added

• Notifications when an appointment changes: moving it, adding attendees, or bringing a cancelled one back now pushes everyone affected, with the actor's name. Series edits and edits made by dragging the event in the Calendar app notify too — a series edit aggregates into one push per person
• Admin setup wizard: fresh installs guide the admin through the permission setup, prompt for the first appointment, and offer the audit log — shown in the empty list instead of a banner
• Self check-in is now mentioned in the mobile app banner

Fixed

• The loading label no longer lands on top of the spinner
• German translations: audited against what the code means, fixed the response notifications to name an appointment, German quotes „…“ throughout. German is now owned by this repo and off the Transifex sync

Maintenance

• Gate the English source strings in CI
• Updated npm and composer dependencies

Fixed

• Copying an appointment could leave you locked out of your own copy: whoever creates an appointment without the manage permission now always stays one of its organizers, so the copy stays editable
• The category icon in the filter chips sat in front of the filter name and looked like it belonged to it — it now stands next to the category name
• German translations: restored wording that the nightly Transifex sync had dropped or rewritten, made formal German use the polite form throughout, and fixed two activity-history lines that used a plural verb for a single person

Added

• A place for each appointment: a free-text location, shown on the cards and in the exports, suggesting the places you used before. Tap it to open the place on OpenStreetMap, or Google Maps from the detail page. Calendar subscriptions and the organization calendar carry it as the event location
• Categories for appointments: admins manage a list of categories, each with a name and an icon. Assign one per appointment and it shows as a badge next to the title. Deleting a category keeps its appointments, they only lose the badge
• Filter by place and category in the appointment list

Fixed

• Upgrading to 1.44.0 could leave a server in maintenance mode: the permission migration could fail mid-upgrade and abort the whole Nextcloud update. Upgrading to 1.45.0 completes it
• Audit history showed internal names instead of the translated location, category and organizers fields
• Restored German translations that the last Transifex sync dropped

Added

• Explicit permission modes: every permission in the admin settings now stores an access mode — all users, specific groups, or nobody — chosen via radio buttons, so you don't have to know the old fallback rules (an empty list used to mean "everyone" for some permissions and "nobody" for others). A migration backfills the mode on every install without changing who can do what
• Counts-only response summary: people without the full response overview now see how the answers are distributed (yes/no/maybe/not answered, without names) once they hold the new permission "See response counts". Open to everyone while unconfigured, restrictable per group. The mobile app gates its summary bar on a new capability
• Create appointment in the navigation: the create button now sits at the top of the navigation like in other Nextcloud apps, instead of in the page

Changed

• Admin settings auto-save: permissions save as you change them (per row, so concurrent admins can't clobber each other) and the save button is gone. The page is regrouped — permissions first, then self check-in setup — with an anchor navigation on top
• Dashboard widget is more compact: entries drop the description and use text-only response pills, and the answer buttons no longer wrap apart on narrow screens

Fixed

• Self check-ins in the activity history now read "{actor} checked in" instead of naming no one, and the source badge no longer shows a raw internal key

Maintenance

• Updated npm and composer dependencies and moved to Node 24 LTS

Added

• Organization calendar: pick a writable calendar in the admin settings and every appointment is pushed there as an event — created, updated and removed automatically, cancellations included. Share the calendar with your groups and everyone sees all appointments in the Calendar app. The event description carries the response summary, and a backfill button pushes all upcoming appointments on demand
• Answers on behalf of others: managers can set or clear a person's answer from the response summary (pencil icon). The audit history records who answered for whom. Guarded by the new permission "Can set responses for other users" — no group has it until an admin assigns it
• Scheduled filter: the appointment list can show only the appointments you are scheduled in for

Changed

• Requires Nextcloud 32 or later

Fixed

• Calendar subscription no longer shows "Not scheduled" while an inquiry is still open or when scheduling is not used — the verdict appears only once it is final
• Close and reopen inquiry labels are translatable again

Maintenance

• Updated translations from Transifex

Added

• Organizers for each appointment: every appointment now has its own organizers. They may edit and delete it, see responses, comments and the history, schedule attendees and send reminders — without being a manager of the whole app. The new permission "Create appointments" hands appointment creation to a group of your choice, and whoever creates an appointment becomes its organizer. Existing appointments keep their creator as organizer, so nothing changes for you when you update
• Appointments you were not scheduled for now disappear: if scheduling is switched on and someone else got the place, the appointment leaves your dashboard widget, and the list has a new filter step that shows only the appointments you are still part of. Appointments where nobody was scheduled stay visible for everyone
• A summary bar for responses and check-ins: the appointment card shows at a glance how the answers are distributed — and how many people were checked in — as a proportional bar. Until now there were only chips with the plain counts
• Buttons for headings in the description editor

Improved

• A new look for the appointment cards: in the list you see a compact card with the title linking to the details, icons for date, place and category, a short description with the number of attachments, the answer buttons and the new summary bar. The detail page shows the whole picture: your scheduling status next to the title, an explanation of your answer, and one row per person instead of grey boxes. The dashboard widget now uses the same answer buttons as the rest of the app
• Comments are saved with a button instead of automatically after a pause, and a comment you already wrote is open right away on the detail page
• Notifications about scheduling now speak to people directly and thank them ("Thank you! You are scheduled for this appointment.")
• Headings are no longer oversized and the levels are easy to tell apart

Fixed

• Someone who did not get a place now reads "you are not scheduled" on the card instead of only "you answered yes"
• A cancelled appointment no longer accepts answers — this now also applies to the buttons in mobile notifications, to the quick-answer link and to older versions of the mobile app. The quick-answer page says that the appointment was cancelled instead of asking you to try again
• Appointments opened from the "All appointments" view no longer lead to an error page after a reload or when the link is shared; links that are already out there are redirected
• Cancelled appointments can no longer be edited and no longer appear under Upcoming or Past in the sidebar
• Screen readers read out the appointment title without the status labels

Maintenance

• German translations completed, context notes for translators, and updates from Transifex
• npm and composer dependencies updated, including a security fix for brace-expansion (CVE-2026-14257)

Fixed

• Admin test notifications now arrive even when the admin has already responded to the next appointment (the already-responded dismissal swallowed them silently)

Maintenance

• Updated or simplified translations

Fixed

• Completed the German translations for the self-check-in, subscription and activity-log strings that were still showing in English
• Renamed the admin self-check-in setup heading from "Self-check-in possibilities" to the clearer "Set up self-check-in"

Added

• Admin self-check-in settings split the code section into separate QR code and NFC tag blocks for clearer setup

Fixed

• Self-check-in nextUpcoming payload now sends UTC-marked datetimes, so the mobile app shows the correct check-in window across time zones

Maintenance

• Updated npm and composer dependencies
• Translations updated from Transifex

Added

• Self-check-in via QR code or NFC: attendees check themselves in by scanning an instance QR code or tapping an NFC tag. This feature is only available in the mobile app, which will be released beginning of August. The check-in window is admin-configurable (default: 30 minutes before start, always closes at appointment end) and every self-check-in is recorded in the activity history with its source (QR / NFC). Admin settings show the instance QR code (with download), the NFC URL to copy, and NFC tag shopping advice. The /self-checkin web page is now a get-the-app landing page with store links and a deep link that auto-opens the app
• Scheduling: plan yes-responders into an appointment — each yes-response can be marked as "Scheduled". Closing an inquiry sends a notification wave to scheduled attendees (with confirmation dialog), and the calendar feed reflects the scheduling status in title and busy/free transparency. Instance-wide opt-in via admin settings, off by default
• Cancel appointments: cancel an appointment as a distinct state next to closing, including the option to reactivate it later
• 15-minute step grid for the time fields in the create form

Improved

• Closed inquiries move out of the "Unanswered" sidebar section immediately
• Nextcloud 34 support

Fixed

• Response overview and comments are now gated server-side, not only hidden in the UI
• App icon themes correctly in dark mode

Maintenance

• Translations updated from Transifex

Added

• Inquiry lifecycle in the activity history: the timeline now also records when an inquiry was created, edited, closed, or re-opened. Auto-close events show as "Inquiry closed automatically"; edits list which categories changed (name, time, description, visibility, response deadline) without storing the raw before/after values

Improved

• Per-response icons in the activity history: ✓ / ? / ✗ for yes / maybe / no, tinted in the matching response color so a glance is enough to tell entries apart
• AutoCloseJob records one audit row per affected appointment (with source: auto_close) so the timeline distinguishes manual and automatic closes

Added

• Activity history: every response submit, change, withdraw, comment update, and every check-in is recorded in a new audit log. The appointment detail view shows the events as an "Activity history" section with verb-specific icons, actor, timestamp, and source (web / email link / admin check-in / historic backfill)
• User-deletion hook anonymises actor and subject IDs to __deleted_user__ and strips PII from event metadata while preserving the audit chain
• Opt-in activity push notifications when team members respond, change, or withdraw a response. The toggle in personal settings is only shown to users who can actually receive them (manage-appointments permission and audit log enabled)
• Response withdraw: users can take back their own response by clicking the active answer again. The row stays (preserves admin check-in data) but the user appears as unanswered again. Short cool-down absorbs accidental double-taps; closed inquiries refuse the toggle
• Guest participation via the Nextcloud Guests app: organizers can invite people without a Nextcloud account directly from the appointment editor by typing an email address. The new "Create guest account for {email}" entry provisions a guest user and adds it to the appointment audience in one step (#43)
• guest_app system group renders as "Guests" everywhere (admin selector, response summary, user details); guest accounts can never gain manage_appointments or checkin permissions even if their group is whitelisted

Improved

• Personal settings auto-save the calendar-reminder triggers and the new notifications toggle on change — the dangling Save button is gone
• "All appointments" navigation item moved to the very top of the sidebar; admins now land there by default, everyone else still lands on "Unanswered"
• Quick-response confirmation page shows a dedicated "closed inquiry" banner instead of a generic error

Fixed

• Reminders refuse to send for closed inquiries (bulk + individual paths, plus the admin preview)
• Dashboard widget filters by target audience instead of by appointment creator, matching the in-app sidebar behaviour
• Collaborator search in the appointment editor no longer caps at 20 results
• "Audience" filter renamed to "Relevance" for consistency with the surrounding terminology

Maintenance

• Translations updated from Transifex
• Repair step short-circuits on the happy path (skips schema introspection when the column probe succeeds)

Added

• Close inquiry: close an appointment with an optional response deadline, after which the appointment is automatically closed by a background job
• Relative deadline mode: set deadlines relative to appointment start (e.g. "2 hours before") with a toggle for absolute/relative in the bulk editor
• Auto-close appointments once they have started (via background job)
• Dedicated "All appointments" view with Upcoming and Past sections
• New Filter row with sidebar search and "Only for me" filter (for admins seeing normally all appointments)
• Reminders for maybe-responders: bell icon inline next to each "Maybe" badge, bulk remind dialog with target picker (non-responders / maybe / both)
• Admin setting to choose who receives automatic reminders

Improved

• Unanswered view and widget now implicitly filters to appointments addressed to the current user so you don't see unnecessary stuff

Maintenance

• Translations updated from Transifex

Fixed

• Creating appointments no longer fails with TypeError: isGroupAllowedCached(): Argument #1 ($groupId) must be of type string, int given when a group or user has a numeric-string ID (#63)

Maintenance

• Repaired stale unit tests (AppointmentServiceTest, AttendanceResponseTest, PermissionServiceTest) and added regression tests for #63
• Release workflow now runs PHPUnit in parallel with the e2e suite
• Translations updated from Transifex

Added

• Personal settings page under Settings > Personal > Attendance
• Configurable iCal calendar reminders (VALARM) for accepted/tentative appointments – users can select multiple reminder times (default: 1 hour before appointment)

Improved

• Better industry standards implemented for iCal feed especially for auto refresh in nextcloud calendar (now refreshing every 15 min if possible)

Fixed

• Non-responding user list now wraps properly on long lists instead of overflowing and clicking user name now opens the remind popover (instead of only the small bell icon)

Added

• Promote mobile apps in web UI and admin settings to help users discover the mobile app
