4.9.0

I'm happy to release a new version of FewohBee! 🎉 It contains a lot of smaller improvements and bugfixes, and also some enhancements from user contributions. So please read it carefully till the end 😉

🏗️ Infrastructure improvements

• fewohbee-dockerized was updated. Please update to the latest version via git pull and, if successful, run ./update-docker.sh.
  • Moved the php and nginx images into the fewohbee main repo to improve maintainability. The old repos fewohbee-phpfpm and fewohbee-web will no longer be maintained.
  • The new images make it much easier if you want to switch, e.g. to debug mode for testing or development. Please take a look at the new version pinning documentation. For your prod environments there is nothing to change — you can still stick to FEWOHBEE_VERSION=latest in your .env file to get the latest stable release.
  • Uploaded images are now stored in dedicated named volumes (uploads-export, uploads-roomcat).
    • A migration container runs on startup to move existing uploaded images to their new place.
    • After upgrading to the latest version, please check that your uploaded images (room categories and in templates) still work. ✅
  • For a complete list of changes see: developeregrem/fewohbee-dockerized#8
• Some improvements were made to allow FewohBee to run smoothly in stateless environments. So if you want to run the application e.g. in a Kubernetes cluster — it's ready now! ☸️ For example:
  • You can now store uploaded files either locally or using any S3-compatible storage. The new env variable STORAGE_ADAPTER defaults to local. If you don't need it, there is nothing to do on your side.
  • See the documentation here if you need it.

📊 Statistics & Operations

• Added a guest category overview to the tourism statistics (required in CH) as well as a new operations report.
  • A new general operations report example template is available here to generate a PDF for reporting lodging taxes, in case you need to report your tourism tax / city tax numbers.
  • A specific template for CH 🇨🇭 can be found here.
  • You can copy the content of the example templates and paste it into a new template of type operations report. Afterwards you can use it under Operations → Reports.
• The reservation status was added to the filter list in Operations → Reports.
• Added month/year navigation buttons to all statistics pages for quicker browsing.

💶 Prices

• You can now assign an extra/misc price (e.g. breakfast, cleaning, …) to a specific room category. If assigned, the price is valid for a reservation that fits the room category. This can be used in the online booking when you have, for example, different cleaning fees for different room categories.
• The prices table now shows the number of persons as a dedicated column.

✉️ Mails

• Moved the mail settings from the .env file into the UI. You can reach them via Settings → General.
• Your old configuration is migrated automatically, but please double-check that everything is working. 🔍
  • You can verify that your migrated settings work by simply clicking the check button in the new mail settings area.

🛏️ Room Categories

• Bugfix: images couldn't be uploaded.
• Added an option to define the minimum number of full-paying guests. It controls, per room category, from which occupancy onwards price modifiers per guest category (for example child discounts) take effect.

🌐 Online Booking

• Moved the FRAME_ANCESTORS configuration from the .env file into the UI under Settings → Online Booking.
• Please double-check that the setting still fits your needs and that the migration was successful.
• Fixed a bug where the online booking was not working properly when the iframe was embedded on a third-party domain.
• Added a fallback message that is shown if an error occurs repeatedly during a booking.

🐛 Other fixes

• Bugfix: an apartment number that was too long triggered a critical PHP error.
