<h1>We have news now!</h1>
<p>
23 Apr 2022
- <a href="/matmair">Matthias Mair</a>
</p>
<p>Hi there,
here is something new: News!</p>
<p>These news items will automatically show up for all admins in the <strong>homepage</strong> as the <em>lowest</em> category (starting with the next minor release <strong>0.7.0</strong>).
If you do not want to see them there you can <strong>disable</strong> the function in your user-settings. There is also the option to disable news globally in the general server settings.</p>
<h3 id="but-why">But why?</h3>
<p>The good news first: We will <strong>not</strong> spam you with this function daily.<br>
It is more of a tool to <em>communicate</em> with the <em>power users</em> and <em>admins</em>. There is wide array of reasons for the dev-team to want to communicate with you.<br>
For example when we</p>
<ul>
<li>are looking for inputs on new big, roadmap worthy FRs</li>
<li>want to show you a cool show-and-tell as an inspiration</li>
<li>have security advisories (please also follow releases - we always try to push new releases as fast as possible)</li>
<li>are planning to depreciate a function and want to gauge if there are still users</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="how-does-it-work">How does it work?</h3>
<p>Like the update-checks we are using the infrastructure GitHub provides.<br>
While the checks use the GitHub APIs, news are gathered from an <strong>RSS-feed</strong> that is served via <strong>GitHub Pages</strong>. The Jekyll-based website generates through a <strong>GitHub Action</strong> and then passes the <strong>static output</strong> to Pages, where it gets hosted for free (thank you GitHub) and delivered through CDNs worldwide.
On your InvenTree instance the <strong>background worker</strong> loads the RSS-feed on a regular basis and creates <strong>entries</strong> for the news items and <strong>notifications</strong> for all applicable users.</p>
<h3 id="and-my-data">And my data?</h3>
<p>As listed above we are using GitHub pages for this feature. We are not introducing additional trackers to that so the <a href="https://inventree.readthedocs.io/en/latest/privacy/">general InvenTree privacy statement</a> applies.<br>
The short version: we <strong>do not sell your data</strong> or share it with third parties. We cannot guarantee what readthedocs and GitHub do with the metrics. We might use them as a metric for the stats section of the site. However, we get very little <em>actionable</em> information from that, a screenshot of the total info available is shown below.</p>
