New Feature: Email Validation
This feature has been frequently requested, especially during Coscine workshops: a button to resend the validation email. In Coscine, after the initial login, the email address must be verified to enable, for example, the creation of a resource, as well as the automatic allocation of 100 GB of web storage space. Previously, users were unable to resend the email themselves. This feature has been available since the last live deployment on May 26.
