3.4-master-20210624
New features:
- Export for OpenSlides4 (beta)
Optimisations:
- "Exit voting" button now changes to "Please wait..." after click, thus preventing accidental multiple exits.
Bug fixes:
- endless "please wait" spinner after reload in Firefox fixed (affects the switched on applause visualisation via particles)
- Bugfix in applause interval and level display (set configs are now taken into account)
- for analogue votes without relative vote shares (e.g. with "majority" or "not recorded") no pie chart is displayed anymore

3.4-master-20210610
Optimisations:
- Filter in lists during incoming autoupdates (e.g. voting) now better usable

Bug fixes:
- _reset_ votes/elections were not completely cleaned up and thus caused unnecessary traffic (the list of all eligible voters were sent every time a vote was cast, instead of only once after the end of the vote/election). Newly created votes/elections were not affected by this.
