This release includes a number of maintenance related updates and also an update to the Filesender REST API code to allow a specific AuP to be shown and user confirmed before generating a REST secret.

Update filesender.py to use a configuration file for storing user name, api secret, and base_url.
This PR also includes and update for sites where get_a_link is true by default, and explicit citation
of python3 as the interpreter required. #717

Ability to delete and create the api secret. This also allows the creation to be behind a REST API specific
AUP if a site wishes. #718 #730

Make the filesender.py script accept the aup as it can not have an api secret unless the user has already
accepted the site REST API AUP. #719

Allow the site admin to delete the API secret for specific users or all users. The later is useful
for introducing an AUP. #720

New buttons to send and clear the client logs on the 'my profile' page. These were added to help debug a report that client logs were not being sent. With the buttons an admin can test the sending and inspection
for their site. #725

Some updates to clientlogs handling #732 #731

There was an issue in the transfer logs where the file name was shown as undefined. This has been updated client side and a new server side update allows the full path to be seen or just the file name depending on if the upload was part of a directory upload or simply a file respectively. #723

Update for admin/users/client logs table border #726

If you select to see the transfer log for a single file on 'my transfers' page then only show the dialog for the file rather than the dialogs for the file and transfer (two modal dialogs at once is bad form). When you select to see
an email log of a file transfer history send information for just that file rather than for the whole transfer. #727

On my transfers page, for get_a_link=false transfers show the subject and message as well. The information is now also formatted into a table for cleaner presentation. #728

refresh the documentation to remove references to Flash that are not longer useful https://github.com/filesender/filesender/pull/722/files

update for cast_as_number #721

update list of active terms and import the english translations into poeditor. #729

translations update #738

merge to master for release #741 #743

Configuration changes

A new api_secret_aup_enabled was added (false by default) which allows an AuP for use of the REST API to be shown before user agreement is obtained prior to generating a REST secret. See https://github.com/filesender/filesender/blob/development/docs/v2.0/admin/configuration/index.md#api_secret_aup_enabled
