Participant Role — A new dedicated participant role introduced alongside a redesigned dashboard UI.
Self-Assign to Scheduled Conference — Users can register themselves directly to scheduled conferences.
Registration Required Fields Setting — Admins can configure which fields are mandatory on the registration form.
Upload Field for Custom Forms — Custom forms now support file upload fields.
Reorderable Topics — Topics can be manually reordered.
Add-on Item Counter — Item counter for add-ons on the registration flow.
