Upgrade notes

• [IMPORTANT] ORACLE users only: due to a bug in the third party library auditlog, you need to follow instructions for 2 step migration highlighted here: https://django-auditlog.readthedocs.io/en/latest/upgrade.html
• 2 timed services need to be added, nemo_check_update_wait_list and nemo_email_scheduled_outage_reminders for the new tool waitlist operation mode and the scheduled outages email reminders, respectively. Systemd services are available in the systemd folder
• 2 email templates need to be added for those features as well, in Customization -> File & email templates: wait_list_notification_email.html and scheduled_outage_reminder_email.html, available in the emails folder

New features

• Tools can now operate in 3 modes: regular/waitlist/hybrid (thanks JPL Microdevices Laboratory for the contribution!):
  • Regular mode is the normal/previous mode of operation and the default for all tools
  • Waitlist mode allows users to sign up on a list when someone is already using the tool, and to be notified when it's their turn. Tool reservations are not allowed in waitlist mode.
  • Hybrid mode is similar to waitlist mode except that reservations are still allowed and take precedence over the waitlist.
  • There are customization options to specify buffer times after which a spot is lost and to determine if the tool should be available if it's close to a reservation time.

Improvements

• Added settings in Customization -> Calendar to specify the time format used for the events (thanks @r-xyz for the contribution!)

• Added a "Mark as applied" button on adjustment requests to signal that the adjustment has been dealt with (Thanks Cornell NanoScale Facility for the contribution!).

5.4.1

Bug fixes

• fixed icons not showing in sidebar

5.4.0

This new version of NEMO does not contain any new functionality, but the codebase has been entirely reformatted using djlint.
This means that from now, all code and contributions should be formatted using djlint.
To make this automatic, configuration files and pre-commit hooks have been added (see below).

For developers

1. Run pip install ./["dev-tools"] to install pre-commit, black and djlint
2. Install pre-commit hooks by running pre-commit install
3. Pull the latest version and run pre-commit run --all-files to double check (everything should pass)

Upgrade notes (Forks only)

If you have a fork of NEMO, the easiest way to update is the following:

1. Merge all changes up to NEMO 5.3.1
2. Run pip install ./["dev-tools"] to install pre-commit, black and djlint
3. Install pre-commit hooks by running pre-commit install
4. Create a new branch in your fork git checkout -b <branch_name>
5. Run pre-commit hooks on the entire codebase pre-commit run --all-files
6. Merge NEMO 5.4.0
7. Resolve any potential conflicts by accepting your version over NEMO

• Added support for multiple areas in area access tablet screen, i.e. a door can provide entry to more than one area (thanks UPenn Singh Center for the contribution!).
• Added new Formula type of Post usage question, allowing more flexibility when charging for consumables or for converting units based on other fields. Formula type questions are hidden from the user and evaluated after the user answers post usage questions. They can be nested and call another formula results, and they can also be used on a group question in which case the variable becomes a list of all the values (allowing to use sum(gold_used) for example, if the user is asked how much gold they used for each of their processes).

• Now displaying the user's main email address in their preferences page.
