  • Added a hook script that gets executed after a user is automatically logged out. This allows for custom functionality to be added upon idle logouts, such as a deduction in coalition points, more logging or automated notifications. The contents of this script can be specified using the codam.webgreeter Ansible role (v1.5.3 and up).
  • Users are now automatically logged out using loginctl after idling too long. The display manager still gets restarted afterwards.

  • 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)
