Release 2024-12-01

Features and fixes

• [First contribution from red!] New feature to retire a whole template: all characters in a retired template are treated as retired characters and so don't show up in post and reply character selectors, or – if configured in your account settings – your character list
• Fields with maximum lengths now produce clearer error messages when you exceed it
• Fix emails: "text" format no longer includes our HTML layout; notification emails have a fixed title; and we now have proper tests for these in the future
• Fix the "All Characters" button to show retired characters on a template page if your default setting is to hide them

Development Work

• Upgrade to Rails 7.2 and bump overall app defaults from 6.1 to 7.1
• Other dependency upgrades
• More feature specs to ensure pages render (and can be interacted with) as expected
• Enabled "strict locals" in our rendering: this is helpful for future dev work, and may reduce memory use, but can cause errors if we misconfigured any pages. Pretty sure we tested everything, but let us know if you see any error pages!
