December 2020: The 'ShinyAccess and ActiveStorage' Edition

The most noteworthy features of this release are:

• The new ShinyAccess plugin, which provides access control features for content on the main site
• Image elements in templated content are now handled by ActiveStorage
• User profiles have been fully split off from user accounts
• Default charts and dashboard added for Blazer
• Explicit config added for HTML sanitizer, meaning various common tags/attributes are now allowed through when displaying blog and news posts

Notable bug fixes in this release include one security fix (access to the Blazer charting features in the admin area is now properly controlled by Pundit authorisation), and two ways that a mistake in the content of SHINYCMS_PLUGINS could have caused fatal errors on startup are now handled gracefully instead.

Breaking changes include renaming of two feature flags, and a new location for theme asset files.
