Full changelog

Added

  • Demo bootstrap data now ships with cover art: bootstrap_events attaches bundled, metadata-stripped images to both demo organizations and 11 events, generating thumbnails (150×150 and 1200×630 social) synchronously so demo data is complete without a Celery worker. Files are stored under deterministic cover-art/bootstrap/ paths, so repeated bootstraps (e.g. the nightly demo reset) reuse the existing files instead of re-uploading.

Fixed

  • Saving a model with an already-stored image (e.g. editing an organization or event with a logo/cover) no longer writes a re-encoded duplicate of the image to storage on every save — EXIF stripping now runs only for fresh uploads.
