Version 4.2.0 - Major revamp of back-end: +50% speed on nested sub albums.

• fixes #831 - Bad extension filename when you upload *.jpg

  The regression was introduced in 4.0.8 as part of #777.

• new #874 - Update CLI Takedate

  • add option --timestamp added to set create_at to timestamp of media file for media that lacks EXIF information
  • use same formatting for 'sysdate' as for 'takedate'

• new #832 - Major rework of backend

  • start using Livewire for the front-end, for now accessible at example.com/livewire if enabled via LIVEWIRE_ENABLED in .env (DO NOT USE, still in development)

  • use Facade AccessControl to access Session information (basically home-brewed Auth Facade)

  • use Facade Lang to access Lang information (Easier to use through the blade template)

  • heavy refactoring of the core, introducing more granularity:

    • Interfaces are Contracts
    • Group Factories
    • use trait on album for smaller dedicated operations
    • add Nested Set theory to Album to allow access to all descendants

  • fixes #843

  • fixes #846

  • fixes #858
