New functionality added to Odoo
Scheduled tasks can now remember when they last ran and pass that timing information to their jobs. This helps processes that work over time ranges avoid extra shared settings updates, improving efficiency and reducing unnecessary cache refreshes.
Original PR description
Many crons process a dedicated queue of some sort (and either delete or disable the items once processed) but some may not want or be able to do that. In that case maintaining some sort of time range is convenient, and the cron itself doing so avoids weird solutions (like global settings). Task 1912648
Enhancements to existing features
When a kit is ordered, Odoo now applies the delivery, purchasing, or manufacturing routes of each individual component instead of using routes set on the kit product itself. This makes stock planning more accurate and alerts users when a kit is marked for manufacturing but lacks the required manufacturing bill of materials.
Original PR description
**Before this PR:** - The routes applied when a kit was ordered was the ones set on the kit. **After this PR:** - The routes of each components of the kits are applied independently and the routes set on the kit itself are ignored - A 'next activity' is logged when a kit as the route 'Manufacture' set and no BoM of type manufacture are linked to the kit TaskID : 1863856
Bill of Materials structure and cost reports are prepared to show clearer BoM information and support additional PLM details such as versions and ongoing engineering changes. This helps manufacturing teams review product structures and related changes more easily when PLM is in use.

Description of the issue/feature this PR addresses:
- Task : https://www.odoo.com/web#id=1875677&action=333&active_id=131&model=project.task&view_type=form&menu_id=4720
- Pad : https://pad.odoo.com/p/r.2ca892cd59cf85ad42ca442b7240b33e
Current behavior before PR:
- Improve the BoM Cost and Structure Report
Desired behavior after PR is merged:
- For Enterprise Only (as related to PLM app) :
- Add a column for the BoM version https://drive.google.com/a/odoo.com/file/d/1Bckk0-oT_RRHWf-OOZhCmHefhYayr6Ii/view?usp=drivesdk
(only visible if PLM is installed + visible on BoM Structure and BoM Cost reports)
- Add a column for the ongoing ECOs on the product https://drive.google.com/a/odoo.com/file/d/106dIj5Cm6uLZdj_f0wAhuTD0BPMpcFx8/view?usp=drivesdk
(only visible if PLM is installed + only visible on BoM Structure, not BoM cost report)

I confirm I have signed the CLA and read the PR guidelines at www.odoo.com/submit-prEvent organizers can now generate standard calendar invitation files directly from the Events app, without needing the Website Events app. This replaces reliance on an outdated Outlook-specific integration and improves compatibility with common calendar tools.
Original PR description
Ics file generation should be possible even when only event is installed as it is a basic feature of events. Moreover we need to be able to generate such files in order to replace the old outlook api used in the event templates, api which is not supported anymore. We decided to use ics files because it is supported by most calendar schedulers hence working with outlook.

Manufacturing users can now see the bill of materials version and whether engineering changes are in progress for a product. This helps teams spot possible upcoming cost or design changes before making decisions based on the current BoM.

The Documents app now opens to a global view that shows documents from all accessible folders instead of selecting a folder by default. Users can return to this all-documents view from the folder selector, making it easier to find and manage files across the organization.
Original PR description
After this commit, the default kanban attachment view is the document's kanban view. it is now also possible to select a "all" menu, in the folder selection to display a global view (showing all documents available across all folders) Task: #1905664
