Kevin Chung 9264e96428 Mark 3.1.0 (#1634)
# 3.1.0 / 2020-09-08

**General**

- Loosen team password confirmation in team settings to also accept the team captain's password to make it easier to change the team password
- Adds the ability to add custom user and team fields for registration/profile settings.
- Improve Notifications pubsub events system to use a subscriber per server instead of a subscriber per browser. This should improve the reliability of CTFd at higher load and make it easier to deploy the Notifications system

**Admin Panel**

- Add a comments functionality for admins to discuss challenges, users, teams, pages
- Adds a legal section in Configs where users can add a terms of service and privacy policy
- Add a Custom Fields section in Configs where admins can add/edit custom user/team fields
- Move user graphs into a modal for Admin Panel

**API**

- Add `/api/v1/comments` to manipulate and create comments

**Themes**

- Make scoreboard caching only cache the score table instead of the entire page. This is done by caching the specific template section. Refer to #1586, specifically the changes in `scoreboard.html`.
- Add rel=noopener to external links to prevent tab napping attacks
- Change the registration page to reference links to Terms of Service and Privacy Policy if specified in configuration

**Miscellaneous**

- Make team settings modal larger in the core theme
- Update tests in Github Actions to properly test under MySQL and Postgres
- Make gevent default in serve.py and add a `--disable-gevent` switch in serve.py
- Add `tenacity` library for retrying logic
- Add `pytest-sugar` for slightly prettier pytest output
- Add a `listen()` method to `CTFd.utils.events.EventManager` and `CTFd.utils.events.RedisEventManager`.
  - This method should implement subscription for a CTFd worker to whatever underlying notification system there is. This should be implemented with gevent or a background thread.
  - The `subscribe()` method (which used to implement the functionality of the new `listen()` function) now only handles passing notifications from CTFd to the browser. This should also be implemented with gevent or a background thread.

MajorLeagueCyber

CTFd is heavily integrated with MajorLeagueCyber. MajorLeagueCyber (MLC) is a CTF stats tracker that provides event scheduling, team tracking, and single sign on for events.

By registering your CTF event with MajorLeagueCyber users can automatically login, track their individual and team scores, submit writeups, and get notifications of important events.

To integrate with MajorLeagueCyber, simply register an account, create an event, and install the client ID and client secret in the relevant portion in CTFd/config.py or in the admin panel:

OAUTH_CLIENT_ID = None
OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET = None
