Upgrade notes

• Make sure to update the adjustment request email in Customization -> File & email templates with this one
• Support for python 3.9 has been removed (end of life)
• In settings.py you can remove django_jsonform from INSTALLED_APPS since it is no longer needed
• The python version in the docker container has been updated to python 3.13 (make sure to update the volume paths in docker-compose.yml if you are overriding files in the container)
• Plugins can now make use of the new NEMO_POLICY_CLASSES in settings.py which allows multiple policies. They have to all be OK for each method (save reservation, enable tool etc.) to be allowed

New features

• Added Account managers for accounts, who can see usage across all the projects under their managed accounts. Also added an option to email all account managers. Thanks UPenn Singh Center for the contribution!
• Users can now pick their landing page if they want to go directly to the Calendar or Tool control (and bypass the dashboard). This can be done in their preferences. Clicking on the "NEMO" link at the top left of the menu bar will always take them to the dashboard. Thanks UPenn Singh Center for the contribution!
• Added consumable checkout to the Kiosk (it needs to be enabled in Customization -> Application). Thanks Stanford SNF for the contribution!
• Tool usage questions are now in a separate Tool usage questions part of Detailed administration. They can now be used with specific projects, groups, users, and can be set for multiple tools at once
• Added a way for users to make their own custom tool lists in the calendar
• Added a reservation note which can be added on calendar reservation events. Thanks Stanford SNF and Michigan Lurie Nanofabrication Facility for the contribution!
• Added option in Customization -> Tool to allow tool usage note to be set. If enabled, the reservation note can be automatically copied into the usage note. The usage note can be set/updated before turning on the tool and before turning off the tool
• Added supervisor <-> managed users relationship, allowing to set managed users for a supervisor and allowing them to see the usage of all their managed users
• Added a required area occupancy minimum in tools to prevent tool engagement unless there are at least that many people logged in the area. Thanks MIT.nano for the contribution!

• The Kiosk URL now supports virtual_inputs=false to disable virtual inputs (virtual keyboard) by kiosk. Thanks MIT.nano for the contribution!
• All request parameters will now be passed from welcome_screen and farewell_screen URLs to the kiosk if the Kiosk button is enabled. Thanks MIT.nano for the contribution!
• Both welcome_screen and farewell_screen can show alerts and usage by adding usage and alerts parameters in the URL
• New UI for adjustment requests that should make it easier to filter and organize them. It also provides a major load time boost. Thanks UPenn Singh Center for the contribution!
• Users can now make an adjustment request to have the charge moved to a different project. Adjustment requests now keep track of original charge data (in case you want it reverted after applying a change). Thanks Michigan Lurie Nanofabrication Facility and Cornell NanoScale Facility for the contribution!
• Added option to only enable adjustment requests for reviewers (regular users won't be able to create new ones). Thanks Michigan Lurie Nanofabrication Facility for the contribution!
• Added option in Customization -> Adjustment requests to allow adjustments until a certain day each month (billing day). Thanks Stanford SNF and MIT.nano for the contribution!
• Updated user profile view by adding tools they are reviewers on, managed accounts, managed projects, managed users and supervisors.

• Removed dependency on django-jsonform for tool properties (using our own widget now)
• Added options for default reminder days and whether users should receive the reminders at all in Customization -> Recurring charges. Thanks MIT.nano for the contribution!

• In Detailed administration -> Tools, added option to enable shutting down a tool when reporting a problem.
• Added option to customize the banner displayed on the dashboard when Facility rules tutorial is needed (in Customization -> Application) and to customize the Facility rules tutorial name itself
