Recent Releases of randomize-apps-otree

First working version of this fix for randomization of apps in oTree >= 5.4.0

Added

Support for Wait Pages: Participants will now wait on a wait page until PLAYERS_PER_GROUP reach the wait page through different randomized apps.
Support for Mixed Randomization: Instead of fully randomizing all apps, users can now specify which apps to randomize by placing them between begin_randomize_apps_otree and end_randomize_apps_otree.
Improved Page Navigation Handling: _increment_index_in_pages has been overridden to ensure proper iteration through all pages, handling cases where the next app may appear earlier in oTree’s internal page index.
New App Randomization Structure:
- Use begin_randomize_apps_otree and end_randomize_apps_otree, defining the range of apps to randomize.
Example configurations to reflect the new randomization structure, including:
- randomize_apps: Fully randomizes apps.
- randomize_apps_with_wait_page: Includes a wait page inside the randomized sequence.
- mix_randomize_apps: Partially randomizes only certain apps, keeping others fixed.

Update your app_sequence configurations to use begin_randomize_apps_otree and end_randomize_apps_otree instead of randomize-app-otree.
If using wait pages, ensure your app logic accounts for players reaching the wait page at different times.

There are five test apps: test_app1, test_app2, test_app3, test_app4, and test_app5.
To ensure compatibility, test your updated app_sequence before deployment.
If you encounter issues, review how _increment_index_in_pages affects page iteration.
