The changes included:
- Add gendered options for emeritus faculty. If a faculty member has the emeritus honorary title, there is now an option on their edit form for choosing two other forms of the word "Emeritus"
- Do not send publication report emails to subscribers whose bios are not published
- Remove outdated code from resource groups. This leaves one final step before all references to the now-defunct groups are removed from the system.
- Add a database index to increase page load speeds.
- Update multiple gems including pundit and pg.
- Add new site statuses. Offline and defunct sites are not browsable, searchable, or available for content association. Development sites can be visited and are available for content association but do not appear on the bios of associated people.
