Version 0.5.0 released!

Fietsboek 0.5.0 has been released! There have been a few fixes and quality-of-life improvements for the user side, such as the "Remember me" checkbox to stay logged in for longer than the default 15 minutes.

On the back-end, the biggest change is that GPX files are now stored outside of the database. The update script will take care of migrating them. GPX files are now also served faster, as they are delivered in their compressed form!

You can now also make use of the fietscron script for regular maintenance tasks. Currently, the list of tasks is rather small (deleting old uploads & rebuilding missing caches), but the future might bring more of them.

The release is available via git (tag: v0.5.0) and PyPI.
