registration 7.x-2.0-beta1

This is the first official release of the Registration-2.x branch. Registration 2.x is centered around a single, fundamental change in the behavior of registrations: where Registration 1.x registers Users or Email addresses for events, Registration 2.x can register any entity with an email property or field. This level of abstraction opens up lots of options.

Registration 2.x is backwards compatible with Registration 1.x for most use cases, and you should be able to update your Registration 1.x site to use Registration 2.x by updating any custom code and configuration as described in CHANGELOG.txt, and then simply installing and running update.php. However, you should proceed with caution: this is a major architectural change and a beta release.

Permissions have changed to reflect these updates as well.

Another major feature enhancement can be found in the Registration Check-in submodule. This module provides a tab on each Registration-enabled entity to quickly find registrants and change their statuses to “Attended” as they arrive at your event. This tool is designed for moderately sized events, and may not be performant with events that have many thousands of registrants.

Future feature development will primarily take place in the 2.x branch.
