v3.3.0

We are excited to announce the v3.3.0 release, which brings a few notable changes:

Legacy Dashboard Removed: The old Dashboard interface has been removed. All monitoring and post-processing features are now accessed through the main Web Monitor interface.
REF_M Vertical Mode: For the Magnetism Reflectometer (REF_M) instrument, a Vertical geometry mode is now supported in the auto-reduction setup. Runs collected in this mode are cataloged and processed just like any other runs.
New Management Command: A new add_indices command was introduced to create additional database indexes, improving performance for reporting queries. Be sure to run it after updating to v3.3.0.
Various Internal Improvements: This release includes several performance enhancements and dependency bumps. Notably, the JavaScript build tool was upgraded (Grunt 1.4.1 → 1.5.3), and caching mechanisms were optimized to reduce load on the database.

Please refer to the documentation for further details on these changes and to ensure your environment is updated correctly.

The development team is very happy to announce this release which focused on modernization, dockerization, environment setup, and documentation.

In addition to the various other changes since the last release of 2.8.0 in 2015.
