Upgrade Notices

• Security Releases - There were some security vulnerabilities found during the life of v21.10. See the v21.10.1, v21.10.2 and v21.10.3 posts for more details.
• API Changes - As of v21.11 any dates in API responses will be formatted as per ISO-8601, with 2019-12-02T20:01:00.283041Z reflecting an example of this format. You may need to review any of your scripts that utilise dates from API responses.
• Upload Limit - System file upload limits are now configured using a FILE_UPLOAD_SIZE_LIMIT option in your
  .env file. This value is specified as an integer and represents the max upload size in MegaBytes. This defaults to 50MB. This replaces the old window.uploadLimit HTML head option that could be set.
• Search Index Changes - There have been search indexing and scoring changes in v21.11.
  It's recommended to run php artisan bookstack:regenerate-search to ensure a consistent search experience and take
  advantage of these changes.
• Logout Endpoints - Logout endpoints have now changed to be CSRF protected POST endpoints instead of GET endpoints. If you were using these for any external purposes you may now need to implement an alternative workflow.
