This release contains a bunch of new feature, the most important ones are:

multi tenancy: the application is ready to be used from different organizations at the same time. This means multiple (and fine-tuned) configurations for bank accounts, email sender, stripe.com account, etc. Please note that the GUI for configuring that will come in the 1.6 release
dynamic categories: it is now possible to define categories that adapts their capacity to the actual number of non-allocated seats. Actually the suggestion is to always create the last available category as "dynamic" in order to be as flexible as possible -waiting queue: the administrator (from the next release also the event organizer) can enable the waiting queue (both pre and post-event) in order to collect interested people and give them the opportunity to get ticket that have been released by other users (new feature) or added by the event organizer
cookie law compliance: the application is now publishing only technical cookies (sessionID and provider-related cookies), therefore we don't need to display the annoying consent popup. Google Analytics, if enabled, will be used without cookies and with IP anonymizer. This is the default behavior, that can be configured in the admin.
new plugin architecture (to be documented): we support through a new API the creation of plugins that can be listen for reservation-related events (see MailChimpPlugin)
