New Features
See v2.2.3-rc1
Fixed
Fixed "incomplete file" issue when attempting to download a report template
Fixed report archiving failing to write zip file
Fixed toast messages not showing up when swapping report templates
Fixed sidebar tab appearing below delete confirmations
See v2.2.3-rc1
Changed
Upgraded dependencies to their latest versions (where possible)
Django v3.1.13 -> v3.2.11
Did not upgrade docxtpl 
Awaiting to see how the developer wants to proceed with issue #114​
Not upgrading from 0.12 to the latest 0.15.2 has no effect on Ghostwriter at this time
Collapsed the Domain model's various categorization fields into a single categorization field with PostgreSQL's JSONField type
An important milestone/change for the upcoming GraphQL API
Categorization is no longer limited to specific vendors
Going forward, the field can be manually updated with valid JSON
Ghostwriter will look for JSON formatted as a series of keys and values: {"COMPANY": "CATEGORY", "COMPANY": "CATEGORY",}
Converted the ReportTemplate model's lint_result field to a PostgreSQL JSONField
An important milestone/change for the upcoming GraphQL API
This change increases reliability and performance by removing any need to transform a string representation back into a dict
Little to no impact on users but templates may need to be linted again after the upgrade
If a template is affected, the status will change to "Unknown" with a single warning note: "Need to re-run linting following your Ghostwriter upgrade"
Converted the Domain model's dns_record field to a PostgreSQL JSONField and renamed it to dns for simplicity
An important milestone/change for the upcoming GraphQL API
This change increases reliability and performance by removing any need to transform a string representation back into a dict
This field was always intended to be edited only by the server, so this change should not require any actions before or after upgrading
If an existing record's DNS data cannot be converted to JSON it will be cleared and user's can re-run the DNS update task
Added a "sticky" sidebar tracker to user sessions so the sidebar will stay open or closed between visits and page changes
Removed the legacy health_dns field from the Domain model
This field was part of the original Shepherd project and was an interesting experiment in using passive DNS monitoring to try to determine if a domain was "burned"
It became mostly irrelevant when services that supported this feature (e.g., eSentire's Cymon) were retired
Changed some code that will be deprecated in future versions of Django v4.x and Python Faker
Made it possible to sort the report template list
Sorting on this table is reversed so clicking "Status" once will sort templates with passing linter checks first
Updated the admin panel to make it easier to manage domains for those who prefer the admin panel
Some general code clean-up for maintainability
See v2.2.3-rc1
Security Changes
Updated Django to v3.2.11 as v3.1 is no longer supported and considered "insecure" going forward
Fixed unauthenticated access to domain and server library exports
See v2.2.3-rc1
