v2.13.0
A minor release, released on August 5th, 2022.
New Features
- (MyBRC only) Support for eligible project PIs to request new P2/P3 directories on the cluster.
- (MyLRC only) Support for setting a host LBL user when an external user joins/is added to a project.
- A set of REST API endpoints for viewing and updating requests to remove a user from a project.
Enhancements
- Updated how computing allowances are modeled to support MyBRC and MyLRC.
- Introduced settings, feature flags, and other checks so that MyBRC and MyLRC include only deployment-specific text and features.
- Some settings may be configured by superusers without restarting the web server. These include the feedback form URL, the launch date of the service, and the URL to the documentation for getting help.
- Refactored how various requests, including project join requests, requests to add/remove a user to/from a project, and cluster access requests, are processed, to increase resiliency and consistency.
Bug Fixes
- Resolved an issue across various request approval pages in which the status badge overflowed, causing the rest of the page to be distorted.
- Resolved additional developer-related issues.
v2.12.0
A minor release, released on June 22nd, 2022.
Enhancements
- Finalized support for adding users to and removing users from existing secure (P2/P3) directories, given that scratch directories have been migrated.
- Modified the status code returned by the REST API endpoint for determining whether a job can be submitted so that some offending jobs are immediately blocked, as opposed to being queued indefinitely.
Bug Fixes
- Increased the end time used when checking whether a job is within its allocation period to be at the end of the last day, so that jobs submitted on the last day of the period correctly update usage values.
- Rewrote a method for converting a local date to a UTC time to correctly account for daylight savings.
- Refactored email-sending methods to never send emails to real users in debug mode.
- Resolved an issue in which entries in the "Usage" column on Allocation Detail views were rendered as "None".
v2.11.0
A minor release, released on May 29th, 2022.
New Features
- Support for adding users to and removing users from existing secure (P2/P3) directories.
Enhancements
- Added logic to the REST API endpoints for processing jobs from Slurm to avoid updating usage values for jobs outside of the given project's allocation's start and end dates.
- Updated list and detail views for various requests to include links to related objects.
- Added backend commands needed to approve and process renewal requests for the next allowance year.
- Included feature flags and data-loading scripts to support a future LRC instance using the same branch.
- Enforced that PIs of LRC projects must be LBL employees.
Bug Fixes
- Updated recipients of cluster access activation notification emails so that managers and PIs are CC'ed, not emailed directly.
- Removed the alert "You need to review this project." from the Project detail view.
v2.10.1
A hotfix release, released on May 9th, 2022.
Bug Fixes
- Requests for new/pooled Condo and Recharge requests no longer raise an error due to a missing allocation period.
- The detail page for a new/pooled Condo or Recharge request no longer lists an empty allocation period.
- Processing of requests for new/pooled Condo and Recharge requests no longer raises an error due to a missing allocation period.
v2.10.0
A minor release, released on May 2nd, 2022.
New Features
- Support for project PIs and managers to request FCA renewal for the next allowance year in the month leading up to its start date.
- Support for users to request to create a new project that will begin at a future date:
- FCAs/PCAs: A project may be requested to be created for the next allowance year in the month leading up to its start date.
- ICAs: A project may be requested to be created for any semester that starts within the next 90 days.
- Support for administrators to approve requests for later periods, queueing them for automatic processing at the start of the period.
- For instance, an FCA renewal for Allowance Year 2022 - 2023 (which has not begun yet) may be approved before it begins, but should only be processed right as it begins.
- However, an FCA renewal for Allowance Year 2021 - 2022 (which has already begun) should be processed immediately upon approval.
- A command-line tool for exporting database data to CSV or JSON.
- Exportable data include: a list of users who submitted jobs, a list of new cluster access requests, the average queue time of jobs, a list of projects, and a list of survey responses.
- Available filters include: time range, allowance type, and "active" status (projects only).
Enhancements
- In the Django admin interface,
AllocationUsersmay now be filtered byProjectname.
Bug Fixes
- The Allocation Detail view no longer raises an error for certain objects.
- Application and development VM initialization no longer fail due to a database table being accessed before it exists.

- Support for storing and importing Berkeley Lab Project IDs, to be used for billing for the Lawrencium instance of the application.
Enhancements

v2.7.0
A minor release, released on January 6th, 2022.
New Features
- Support for removing users from projects, either by themselves, or by project owners or administrators.
- PIs may not leave, although they can do so by updating their pooling preferences during allowance renewal.
- Managers may not leave if they are the only one remaining on a project.
- The removal will take some time, due to the need for administrators to perform handling on the cluster.
- Removal of time-based auto-approvals of requests to join a project, replaced by explicit approval of all requests by project owners.
- Reminder emails will periodically be sent to both the requesting user and the project owners.
- Administrators and staff have read-only access to a view listing all pending requests.

Enhancements
- Admins may now manage
EmailAddressinstances from the Django admin interface. - Developers may now provision a development VM, which leverages an Ansible playbook similar to that used on production.
