Package updates and enterprise features

In this release we added new technical enterprise features and fixed many bugs.

Features

• We made the login process easier for cases when there is only a single domain: users do not have to specify the domain when logging in.
• The SnAuthorize attribute on OData operations requires the full group path from now on so that groups/roles are referred to correctly.
• Content types can be marked as system types so that clients can decide which types should be displayed to the user.
• Preview generation can be switched on or off on a folder level to avoid starting unnecessary preview generation tasks.

Bug fixes

• The OData table formatter uses the select and expand parameters correctly.
• Only content types are allowed in the content types subtree (system folder is removed as an option).
• File and Image types are both added as allowed types on the Content default folder so that new users can start uploading immediately.
• Trace category configuration and settings are loaded and merged correctly during startup.

Testing and infrastructure

• We continued converting our backend API to async methods with adding and using new Save, ContentQuery and Delete methods.
• We continued moving our components to the .Net service container: TextExtractors can be registered using a modern registration approach.
• Our projects are converted to .Net 6. This required us to replace the old binary serialization with a modern solution.
• We started improving repository performance in a load balanced environment.
