Added

- We have added a new ‘journals news’ RSS feed for each journal see for instance https://jnsao.episciences.org/rss
- New journal settings parameter: Allow post-acceptance revisions of articles. This feature allows to use a different workflow where documents are revised after they have been accepted. This workflow may be tested on a sandbox journal if you want. Please contact us for setting up a sandbox journal if you don’t already have one.
- 9 article statuses, available for journals allowing ‘post-acceptance revisions of articles’:
- Accepted temporary version, waiting for author’s final version: now, temporary versions that are accepted have this new status instead of “pending minor revision” (git #372)
- Accepted – waiting for author’s final version
- Accepted, waiting for major revision
- Accepted article – final version submitted, waiting for formatting by copy editors
- Accepted temporary version after author’s modifications
- Accepted temporary version, waiting for minor revision
- Accepted temporary version, waiting for major revision

Fixed
- #212: Better handling of capitalization of names
- #207: editing the translation of Chief Editors: Editors in Chief (if plural) and Editor in Chief (if there is only one)
- #169: reports become visible on the article web page:
- according to the parameters of the journal for published articles
- for the owner, only if the paper is refused, waiting for revision, already accepted or published
- Another status (Revision request answer: without any modifications) is used when responding to a revision request: without any modifications.
- Revision requests: now we have an immediate visual feedback when changing the deadline.
- If the journal allows revision of articles after acceptance, the response to a request for a final version (without any changes) is similar to the proposal of a new version.
