Release v1.9.0

What's Changed

The largest change introduced in this build is the new Persistent Storage setup which will greatly reduce and optimize a lot of existing and new supported plugins.

📣 New Notification Services:

• WxPusher Support Added in #1135

💡 Features

• 🚀 ⭐ Persistent Storage in #1131 (more then 6,500+ lines of code added to the code base) 🔥
  • This feature is very big and better documented here. Some general details can also be found here on the main README.md file.
  • Long overdue, plugins can now safely cache some of the query results returned from upstream endpoints to disk. This saves the need to make future extra web requests later (overall causing a performance boost to Apprise).
  • It's a cache engine done right; content is contained, and those using the CLI can clean/reset it. You can also easily turn it off.
  • Not all plugins that can fully leverage this for it's added boost do so... *Yet*, but just give me some time and I'll get there.
• mqtt:// support for publishing retain flag in #1185
• SendGrid Attachment Support Added in #1190
• Refactored base64 attachment handling in #1191

❤️ Life-Cycle Support

• Documentation and CLI Tidying in #1187
• Cleaner usage of Apprise CLI (0d19db8)
• RPM Testing/Building Docker Containers smaller in size (1a2eecc and 1dc22e1) refs #948

🐞 Bugfixes

• Fix typo in readme by @khaffner in #1176
• Fix Telegram Thread/Topic handling in #1177
• Fixed mattermost channel handling n #1180
• Escape unsupported Telegram MarkdownV2 characters in #1181
  • Telegram MarkdownV2 has turned out to be a VERY different style of markdown. For consistency, the default telegram mode is version 1. Simply add ?format=markdown&mdv=v2 to your URL to change this.
