Main-20250110-rc2

This is a bugfix and feature release candidate for the upcoming proper release. It extends the previous release candidate:

• Fix to gdp mode project handover in python3
• Fix choice of python in sftpsubsys PAM auth extension on python2 when 3 is also installed
• general grid compute bugfixes for python3
• Optionally allow auto-signup for external users e.g. from WAYF if they have existing peer acceptance (PR166)
• Prevent GDP log messages propagating to mig.log
• Updated front pages to use OIDC instead of OID 2.0 service for local user auth (reused as template)
• Key+certificate improvements to allow fully automatic fingerprint updates e.g. with LetsEncrypt (PR171+173)
• Prevent external users changing ID fields during semi-automatic renew with authentication
• UI polish: show explanatory warning when not allowed to create vgrids/workgroups (PR170)
• Added basic per-user account page with account info (PR176)
• Increased unit test coverage

Additional details are available in the complete changelog since last release for further elaboration in the real release.

Note: the Stable-YYYYMMDD release series specifically refers to the master branch, which is strictly in lock-step with the old SourceForge repo and being phased out. The matching Main-YYYYMMDD and Next-YYYYMMDD releases refer to the corresponding edge and experimental branches used in production - despite the somewhat misleading branch names. Thus, we recommend using Main for python2 and Next for python3 deployments.
