Major changes since 2.57

The database update script DOES need to be run.
The templates directory HAS changed.

Short summary:

WARNING: The database has larger changes so a database backup is highly recommended before migrating to this release. The migration script may take some time as it precalculates some values which would have otherwise been done on a per transfer basis.

This includes major efficiency updates for large transfers. Support for OIDC authentication.
