This is a major release which brings the Missing Persons extension to Actors and other important changes. It's also important to update to this version as soon as possible to deploy the important changes to back-end permissions. Ensure a backup of the database is taken before attempting to upgrade. Users should also clear their browsers' caches after any update.

The Missing Persons extension is disabled by default. To enable it please check the configuration page.

There are some changes to the structure of the deduplication table. It's best to drop this table and recreate it using flask create-db.

Lastly, NGINX configuration needs to be updated in order to enable progress tracking of the dedupliciation processing. This can be done by disabling proxy buffering using proxy_buffering off; at location /. The NGINX configuration template has been updated.
