v2.2.0
Release Ghostwriter v2.2.0 · GhostManager/Ghostwriter
GitHub
This release is the final version of v2.2.0 following feedback from v2.2.0-rc1.
New Features
From RC1: Added new filter_type filter to report templates (submitted by @5il with PR #152).
Introduced the new ReportData serializer. This is nearly invisible to users but is a huge efficiency and performance upgrade for the back-end. Changes to project data models will now automatically appear in the raw JSON reports and be accessible within DOCX reports.
The new serializer has modified some of the Jinja2 template expressions. View a JSON report to see everything available. For example, instead of writing {{ project_codename }}, you will access this project value with {{ project.codename }}.
Ghostwriter now handles dates differently to better support all international date formats. Dates displayed in the interface and dates within reports (e.g., report_date) will match the date locale set in your server settings (en-us by default).
Fixed
From RC1: Updated broken POC contact edit URL on the client details page.
From RC1: Project assignment dates will no longer be improperly adjusted on updates.
From RC1: Template linter context now has entries for new RichText objects.
From RC1: Adjusted HTML parser to account for the possibility for empty fields following an update from one of the older versions of Ghostwriter  (submitted by @Abstract-9 with PR #158).
From RC1: Adjusted Dockerfile files to fix potential filesystem issues with the latest Alpine Linux image (submitted by @studebacon with PR #143).
Added a missing field in the Report Template admin panel.
"Add to Report" on the finding details page now works.
Updated delete actions for operation logs to avoid an error that could prevent the deletion of entries when deleting an entire log.
Domain age calculations are now accurate.
An invalid value for domain purchase date no longer causes a server error during validation.
Constrained Twisted library to v20.3.0 to fix a potential issue that could come up with Django Channels

Improved the reporting engine to handle even the wildest nested styling.
Changed
Adjusted finding severity lists to sort by the severity's weight instead of alphabetically.
Re-enabled evidence uploads in all WYSIWYG editors (it was previously excluded from certain finding fields).
Adjusted sidebar organization to improve visibility of a few sections that could be difficult to locate.
Updated BootStrap and FontAwesome CSS versions.
Updated all Python libraries to their latest versions.
Animated the hamburger menus for fun.
Switched ASGI servers (from Daphne server to Uvicorn) for WebSockets and better performance.
Updated the sample template.docx to act as a walkthrough for the new report data and changes in Jinja2 expressions.
