*******

1.6.dev0 (unreleased)
=======================

* Add 'Student Record Creation' Report page.

* Add `CreateStudents` permission and `StudentsCreator` role.

* Do not allow uploading data with trailing whitespaces.

* Do no longer hide the 'Create students' buttons but switch the portal to
  maintenance mode to ensure that nobody can enter the portal during
  record creation except for user 'admin'. This guarantees that record
  creation is only started once.

* Replace `gpa_boundaries` utility attribute by `GPABoundaries` method
  which may return different values in custom packages depending on faculty,
  department or certificate code (requested by AAU Ekpoma).

* Allow `ApplicantOnlinePaymentProcessor` to import records without
  `p_id` column in create mode.

  avoid a timeout of Nginx/Apache.
