2.13.0 release notes

Released 2017-10-01

Migration notes

• #2635 changes the context available to the configured contact summary script. The contact parameter no longer has information about parents. This information is now in an array called lineage. More information is available in the configuration documentation.
• #3546 changes the implementation of the contact_summary so instead of declaring the output on the last line of the script, now you have to return the output. Usually this is as easy as adding a return on the last line, so output; becomes return output;. More information is available in the configuration documentation.
