The project overview now avoids showing negative timesheet hours as full-width bars in the 'time by people' section. This prevents misleading visuals where employees with negative hours appeared to have logged as much time as others.

colored bars representing negative hours are no more displayed in the colored bar area.
if the total amount of hours is negative, nothing is displayed (bar width clamped to 0) instead of displaying a full-width grey bar (default progress bar color with a negative width).

Forum visibility can now be limited to public visitors, portal users, or selected private groups, giving businesses better control over who can view forum content. Forums connected to eLearning courses now follow the course privacy settings, helping keep unpublished or restricted course discussions hidden from unauthorized users.

Add privacy on forum: public, portal and private

Users can now activate or deactivate many records directly from the read-only form view, without first switching into edit mode. This reduces clicks for routine record management across multiple Odoo apps and settings areas.

This update adds automated checks to confirm that events are correctly recognized as ongoing and can be found with the related filter. It helps reduce the risk of date-status mistakes in event management without changing how users work.

Adds some python tests for the is_ongoing field and search filter.

Users can now turn records on or off directly from the form view without first switching into edit mode. This makes managing active and inactive records quicker and reduces unnecessary steps for everyday users.

Purpose
Currently, to activate/deactivate records with the 'active' checkbox of their
form view, the user has to switch to edit mode first.
The goal of this task is to allow the user to activate/deactivate records from
the readonly version of the form view.

In the form view, we  set widget = 'boolean_toggle' on the 'active' field in form.

Field service task validation now skips creating a sales order when there are no invoiceable products or no timesheet entries. This keeps sales records cleaner and avoids extra administrative work for tasks that should not generate billing documents.

Do not create a SO when validating a FSM task if there are no products
to invoice or no timesheet.
