New Features

• When a tool requires an area access, area access time will be charged when staff use tool for a remote project (so staff time, tool time and area time are all started at the same time)
• Staff charge for area access will stop when staff users log out of any area
• Added virtual keyboard for Kiosk text post usage questions
• Added keypad for delayed logoff on Kiosk
• Kiosk timeout will now reset on user input
• Added a way to contact other users from reservation details and to contact the current user of a tool on tool control page
• Added the Buddy Board, a simple message board for buddy requests:
  • At least one area need to be set to "allow buddy system" in detailed administration for this feature to be active
  • Users will be notified of new buddy requests with notification badge number on menu item (can be turned off in user preferences)
  • Users will be notified by notification badge number and via email when somebody also replies on a request they replied to (can be turned off in user preferences)
  • A disclaimer can be set in customizations. Use it to specify special instructions or rules for buddy system
  • Buddy request expire at the end of the day on their end date
  • Only users who have completed training, have an active project and have access to the area can reply
• A news story will now be published when a new NEMO release is installed (with links to the release notes and the feature manual). This feature can be disabled by setting NEW_VERSION_NEWS = False in settings.py
• All emails sent by NEMO will now be logged for audit purposes and accessible in the detailed administration. If you are a developer, make sure to use the send_email function available in utilities.py to benefit from this feature.

Improvements

• News stories can now include HTML tags (link etc.)
• Added validation for physical access exceptions in detailed admin (end date must be later than start date)

Bug Fix

• Fixed a bug where project usage page was only showing results for the current logged in user.
• Fixed a bug on Kiosk when the keypad would stay open on Kiosk timeout.
