Looks fine to me but @zklaus and @valeriupredoi are the experts here.

Question: is the next step to uncomment this line in the environment file of the Tool?

Yes, I will do this after the release, but probably tomorrow (so hopefully the pip and conda package built successfully).

looking good, gents 👍 🍺

Thanks V.! 🍻
