NAV 5.0.6

(released 27 Aug 2020)

Deprecation warning

Python 2 reached its end-of-life on January 1, 2020. NAV 5.0 therefore moves to Python 3, and as such, you will need at least Python 3.5 to run NAV.

Most of NAV will still run on Python 2 as of the 5.0 release, but from this point, Python 2 will be deprecated and we will start removing code that exists solely to keep compatibility with Python 2.

• #2144 (Prevent ipdevinfo from crashing on weird device names)
• #2149 (Inventory failing on DLink DGS-1100 : 'TypeError: argument of type 'int' is not iterable')
