Post-install steps

MR 531: FreeRADIUS Python3 backend

On the Radius server, add buster-backports to your /etc/apt/sources.list:

echo "deb http://deb.debian.org/debian buster-backports main contrib" >> /etc/apt/sources.list

Note: If you are running Debian Bullseye, the package should already be available without going through backports.

Then install the new required packages:

apt update
apt install -t buster-backports freeradius
cat apt_requirements_radius.txt | xargs sudo apt -y install

MR 582: Autocomplete light

On the Re2o server, install the new dependency and run collectstatic:

sudo pip3 install -r pip_requirements.txt
python3 manage.py collectstatic

MR 589: Move ldap to optional app

Add ldap_sync to your optional apps in your local settings if you want to keep using the LDAP synchronisation.

Final steps

As usual, run the following commands after updating:

python3 manage.py migrate
sudo service apache2 reload

New features

Here is a list of noteworthy features brought by this update:

• !488: Use + in searches to combine keywords (e.g. John+Doe).
• !495: Add optional behavior allowing users to override another user's room, if that user is no longer active.
• !496: Add option to allow users to choose their password during account creation. They will have to separately confirm their email address.
• !504: Add setting to change the minimum password length.
• !507: New form for editing lists of rights that should make everyone happier.
• !512: Add ability to comment on tickets.
• !513: IP and MAC address history (Statistics > Machine history tab) which also works for deleted interfaces. Uses already existing history so events before the upgrade are taken into account.
• !516: Detailed events in history views (e.g. show old_email -> new_email).
• !519: Add ability to filter event logs (e.g. to show all the subscriptions added by an admin).
• !569: Refactor navbar to make menu navigation easier.
• !569: Add ability to install custom themes.
• !578 : Migrations squashed to ease the installation process.
• !582: Improve autocomplete fields so they load faster and have a clearer behavior (no more entering a value without clicking and thinking it was taken into account).
• !589: Move LDAP to a separate optional app.
• Plenty of bug fixes.
