v19.6

Features

• Emails are no longer sent to users commenting on their own application.

Other

First release v19.2

This is the first release for TWLight which powers the Wikipedia Library Card platform (https://wikipedialibrary.wmflabs.org/).

We're creating releases in an effort to keep the community up-to-date with changes to the website. Release notes will be published here and pulled onto the platform in the future for quick reference.

In this release the platform is set up to support The Wikipedia Library's manual (i.e. not proxy-based) account distribution processes. Users can log in via OAuth and apply to one of a number of TWL partners for free account access. Coordinators discuss and make decisions on applications, and then send successful applications to publishers for account set up, or send existing access codes/login details directly.
