What's Changed

• Add a new "python" CSH built-in command that allows... by @jeanbaptistelab in #36

Full Changelog: 2.8...2.9.0-rc1

Important

The packages for Ubuntu 20.04 do NOT include the new Python functionality due to the fact that the Python version shipped with this Ubuntu (3.8) does not include functionality needed for this feature.

• implement hostname tab-completion in "power on/off" commands

• implement hostname tab-completion in "node" command

• align node save with list save

• add feature to let HK sniffer auto-update UTC offset when receving a parameter with UTC timestamp
