[OOD-users] Announcing Open OnDemand 1.2

[Basil Mohamed Gohar]

We are happy to announce the release of Open OnDemand 1.2.  This release 
contains many bug fixes and some developer-mode enhancements.  
Highlights include:

  - Taking a step towards global configuration by moving the 
configuration file for nginx_stage 
<https://osc.github.io/ood-documentation/release-1.2/infrastructure/nginx-stage.html#nginx-stage> 
to /etc/ood/config/nginx_stage.yml (we intend on migrating all 
configuration to /etc/ood/config in the future).
  - The developer interface in the Dashboard is dynamically enabled when 
the developer creates the sandbox directory ~/ondemand/dev under their 
home directory.
  - To make Interactive App development debugging easier the full 
command used when submitting a batch job is now logged under 
/var/log/nginx/<user>/error.log on the corresponding OnDemand node.
  - The Files App now opens and displays PDF and HTML files in a new tab 
when a user attempts to View the selected file.
  - A multitude of bugfixes…
