5.0.0

• This new version of NEMO does not contain any new functionality, but the codebase has been entirely reformatted using black.

• Both NEMO and Splash Pad containers are now running Python 3.11

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 4.7.1
2. Create a new branch in your fork
3. In PyCharm, change tabs to spaces in Settings -> Editor -> Code Style -> Python -> uncheck "use tab character" and install and set up black in Settings -> Tools -> Black with the --line-length=120 parameter
4. Run black on the entire *.py project files
5. Merge NEMO 5.0.0
6. Resolve any potential conflicts by accepting your version over NEMO

4.7.1

Bug fixes

• Fixed calendar issue when looking at qualified tools only

• When using pagination and the new NEMOPageNumberPagination class, the page size can be changed on the fly by using the page_size request parameter
