This release fixes an occasional issue where the "Dismiss" button for the banner announcements by default shows "null" instead of "Dismiss".

This release fixes a database related performance issue when the add-on is installed but no announcements have been configured yet.

For Stash 3.5+ it also fixes the project announcements not appearing properly.

In this version the full page logic interception has been reworked so that the detection occurs within the content area.

We have revisited the UI and updated the various areas to allow for a more user friendly experience while creating the announcements.

We have enhanced the acknowledgment button to allow for a delayed activation in case people are you just hitting "Dismiss". In addition to this in the reporting area you can now see how long somebody viewed the announcement prior to hitting dismiss.

Project admins are now able to create announcements (if the admins allow it).

This release adds in Stash center support.

Note: If you're upgrading from a version pre-1.5 - you will need to visit the main "Announcer for Stash" page post upgrade to enable all the notifications.

ANNOUNCER-23 - Previously created announcements can't be reverted back to full page announcements

Please note: If you're upgrading from a previous version - all of your announcements will become inactive. To enable all of them - just go to the announcement list page and click "enable all announcements" -- or if you just want to enable a few - edit and check the "enable announcement" checkbox.
