7.4.0

Upgrade notes

• Remove django-jsonform: this dependency is no longer used and must be removed from your INSTALLED_APPS.
• Only if using custom policy classes or for plugin developers:
  • Update policy settings: to prevent deprecation warnings, rename NEMO_POLICY_CLASS to MAIN_NEMO_POLICY_CLASS and NEMO_POLICY_CLASSES to EXTRA_NEMO_POLICY_CLASSES (backward compatibility is temporarily maintained).
  • Developers: when adding policy classes, update your AppConfig to use the new add_extra_policy_class helper from NEMO.plugins.utils.

Improvements

• Added configurable calendar resolution and label interval.

• Added first_name, last_name, email and correlation_id parameters to the URL for creating new users to have it pre-fill the corresponding fields (you can now use /users/new/?first_name=John&last_name=Smith&email=john.smith@example.com&correlation_id=12345). The correlation id will be set on the user but not saved in the database (it will be available in signals for linking another model)
