Conference List is a web application for community-maintained public lists (e.g. math conferences). Its basic functions are:

Rewritten for the latest versions of PHP (version 8) and CakePHP (version 5). Functionally is generally the same, with a few improvements.
There is a search form for searching and filtering results by date of meeting, date of announcement, and other fields.
When adding an announcement, the Country selector now accepts any alternate spellings such as USA, UK, Deutschland, etc. The full list is from the countries data repository.
Announcements that have been added or updated in the last 30 days are marked with [New].
When adding an announcement, the Start/End Date fields are formatted by users' locale and the date picker is controlled by their browser.
RSS feed deprecated. CakePHP dropped support for RSS in version 5, and we don't think this was used much. Get in touch if it impacts you!
New repository location at https://github.com/sethjohnson1/conflist5
Now filter announcements by subject tags
Set specific admin email addresses for individual tags
Form for editing announcements is now the same as that for adding new announcements
New 'view' page for each announcement, and announcement data in confirmation emails
Select boxes improved with select2 (jquery)
Links to sort by country or show past announcements have been removed as these features are rarely used and are incompatible with the subject tags. If you would like to see these features reimplemented, please let Niles know!
Site administrators receive a copy of every confirmation email. If
this is lost or the edit keys there are invalid for some reason, you
can get the edit/delete url for conference number N as follows:
Navigate to conferences/admin/N and use the admin key from your
private config file. You can also use conference-specific edit key
there.
