Brings master from 3.0.2 to 4.0.0. Everything below is already reviewed and
merged into develop — no new code here.

Breaking: 4.x requires Redmine 6.1. The migrations moved to
ActiveRecord::Migration[7.2], which Rails 6.1 cannot load. Redmine 5 stays on
the 3.x line. requires_redmine version_or_higher: '6.1' now says so up front
instead of letting an install fail with a stack trace.

Highlights

Full list in CHANGELOG.md.

Verified

CI green on mysql, postgresql and sqlite. Additionally checked by hand on
Redmine 6.1 with a production dataset (~2300 projects, 56k issues, Opale theme):
absences, redistribution of planned hours, team aggregation, threshold colours,
cross-group visibility, CSV export, and the full create/edit/delete cycle on
vacations and holidays.

Add step to install Subversion in workflow
Refactor postgresql? method and fix github-workflow
Wrap the `to_date` conversion in `sanitizeDateParameter` with a
begin-rescue block to catch `Date::Error`. Previously, strings like
"2026-01-32" passed the `respond_to?(:to_date)` check but raised an
unhandled exception during conversion. Now invalid dates fall back to
the default value instead of crashing.

Adds functional tests for all three date parameters (first_day,
last_day, start_date) to cover the invalid date case.

Fixes #41

Fix HTTP 500 error when invalid date is entered in workload filter
When the user sets a 'Use as today' (start_date) value beyond the
last_day of the displayed time span, the UserWorkload model crashes
with a NoMethodError because 'today' falls outside the time_span and
hours_for_issue[today] returns nil.

Cap @today to @last_day in the controller before passing it to
UserWorkload. Show a flash warning when the capping occurs so the
user is informed.

Fixes #40

Fix HTTP 500 when 'Use as today' date is after end date
Updates to support Redmine 6 and Rails 7
The 4.x line requires Redmine 6: migrations were bumped to
ActiveRecord::Migration[7.2] in 4.0.0, which Rails 6.1 (Redmine 5.0)
rejects with `Unknown migration version "7.2"`. The workflow therefore
could not pass against 5.0-stable any more.

Changes:

* Rename 5-0-stable.yml to 6-1-stable.yml and export
  branches/6.1-stable instead of 5.0-stable.
* Bump Ruby to 3.2. Redmine 6.1 requires `ruby '>= 3.2.0', '< 3.5.0'`,
  so `bundle install` fails on 3.1.
* Add `rake assets:precompile` after the migrations. Redmine 6 uses
  Propshaft.
* actions/checkout v3 -> v4.

Workflow name ("GitHub CI") and job id (plugin_tests) are unchanged so
existing required status checks keep matching. Redmine 5 remains served
by the 3.x line.

README: point the CI badge at the renamed workflow.
`rake redmine:plugins:test:units` runs the tests through
`Rails::TestUnit::Runner.run_from_rake`, which spawns `bin/rails test` in
a separate process. That process requires the test files *before* the
Rails environment is loaded, and on Rails 7.2 `rails/commands` no longer
pulls in railties' `rails.rb` on the way. `Rails` is then only a bare
namespace module and `Rails.root` does not exist:

    test/test_helper.rb:4:in `<top (required)>':
    undefined method `root' for Rails:Module (NoMethodError)

On Rails 6.1 (Redmine 5.0) `rails.rb` happened to be loaded by then, so
the same line worked. Resolve Redmine's test_helper by path instead,
which is what Redmine's own plugins do and what the environment does not
have to be loaded for.

    plugins/<plugin>/test/test_helper.rb -> ../../../test/test_helper
The plugin test tasks print the failure but not the surrounding log.
Attaching test.log as an artifact on failure makes the next iteration
diagnosable without reproducing locally. Taken from the DMSF workflow.
Two tests failed with exactly one extra user:

  WlUserSelectionTest#test_should_return_all_users_if_the_current_user_is_admin
  WlUserSelectionTest#test_should_return_all_active_users_when_user_has_permission_:view_all_workloads

Redmine 6.0 added `fixtures :all` to ActiveSupport::TestCase in
test/test_helper.rb; Redmine 5.0 did not have it. Every fixture file is
now loaded no matter what a test class declares, including
groups_users.yml, which makes users(:users_008) a member of groups 10
and 11.

`WlUserSelection#all_users` is `User.joins(:groups).distinct.active` --
every user belonging to any group. Under Redmine 6 that legitimately
includes users(:users_008), so comparing against only the users
generated in setup is wrong. Confirmed in the CI log:

  WlUserData Load ... WHERE `wl_user_datas`.`user_id` IN (8, 41, 42, 43)

The plugin behaves correctly; only the tests' assumption about the
fixture universe was stale. Record the pre-existing group members in
setup and add them to the expectation, walking Group#users rather than
reusing the scope under test.

Note that the per-class `fixtures ...` declarations throughout this
plugin's test suite are effectively inert on Redmine 6 for the same
reason. They are left alone here.
4.0.0 announced Redmine 6.0.x, but nothing in the repository ever tested
against Redmine 6 and the plugin had no `requires_redmine` at all, so an
incompatible install failed with a stack trace instead of a clear message.

* init.rb: add `requires_redmine version_or_higher: '6.1'`.
* README/CHANGELOG: state 6.1.z, the version the CI workflow covers.
  Redmine 6.0.z ships the same Rails 7.2 and probably works, but it is
  untested and therefore not claimed.
* README: add a "support of Redmine 6" section spelling out that 4.x is
  not backward compatible (Migration[7.2]) and that Redmine 5 stays on
  the 3.x line.
* README: the PostgreSQL/Ruby 3.1 warning is moot now that Redmine 6.1
  requires Ruby >= 3.2; keep the note but say so.
With `requires_redmine >= 6.1` the plugin always runs on Rails 7.2 and
Ruby >= 3.2, which makes several branches unreachable:

* init.rb: the `Rails.version < '6'` block added `app/presenters` to
  `autoload_paths`. That directory does not exist in this repository, so
  the branch was dead even on Rails 5.
* user_patch.rb: the `to_prepare` fallback for Rails < 6. The
  after_plugins_loaded hook does this on every supported version.
* after_plugins_loaded_hook.rb: the Rails >= 6 guard is now always true.
* init.rb / lib/redmine_workload.rb: the PostgreSQL Ruby-version guard
  and `RedmineWorkload.postgresql?`, its only caller. Redmine 6.1
  requires Ruby >= 3.2, so the guard can never fire. If a PostgreSQL
  specific check is needed again, reinstate it with a real reason.

No behaviour change on Redmine 6.
The two bug fixes and the two test fixes were not listed yet. Keeps the
4.0.0 section a complete description of what changed since 3.0.2.

The 4.0.0 date still reads 2026-02-06 and should be updated when the
version is actually tagged.
Redmine 6 renders icons as SVG sprites. The plain `icon icon-add` class
still works through the legacy fallback (`.icon-add:not(:has(svg))` puts
a PNG behind it), but the result sits next to the core's SVG icons and
looks out of place.

Wrap the labels in `sprite_icon`, keeping the existing css classes, the
same way the core views do (compare app/views/calendars/show.html.erb for
the `link_to_function` case). All three sprite names -- add, checked,
warning -- exist in Redmine 6.1's icons.svg.
The config still targeted Ruby 2.7. Redmine 6.1 requires
`ruby '>= 3.2.0', '< 3.5.0'`, so 3.2 is the lowest version this plugin
can actually run on.

Rubocop is not part of the CI workflow, so this only affects local runs.
Raising the target may surface new offences; .rubocop_todo.yml was left
untouched.
RedmineToolbarHookListener injected slides.js and style.css into the
layout head of *every* Redmine page, not just the workload views. Two
consequences:

* every page in the installation paid for two extra requests it has no
  use for
* style.css contained an unscoped `legend { color: ... }` rule, so the
  plugin silently restyled the legend of every fieldset in Redmine --
  including core pages and whatever the active theme intended

Restrict the hook to the four controllers whose views need the assets,
and scope the legend rule to `.controller-workloads`. `#year-nav` is an
id used only by this plugin's holiday view and is left as is.

The plugin settings page (`settings` controller) renders with core
classes only -- box, tabular, info -- and does not need style.css.
Get 4.0.0 tested on Redmine 6.1: CI, test fixes, version declaration
The date still carried 2026-02-06 from when #42 was written; 4.0.0 was
never tagged, so it now reads the actual release date.

Three changes that landed after the entry was first written were missing:
the sprite icons, the scoping of the plugin's assets to its own views,
and the Rubocop target. The unscoped `legend` rule was a defect visible
in every Redmine installation using this plugin, so it is listed under
Fixed rather than buried in the asset scoping note.
