• Add Entity record by API (getodk/central-backend#798)
• Delete Entity record by API (getodk/central-backend#803)

Bugs Fixed + Small Wins

• Add columns to the Entities CSV download about the Entity creator, the Entity creation time, and other metadata (getodk/central-backend#801)
• Improve the speed at which incoming Submissions are accepted by updating indices in the database (getodk/central-backend#805)
• Provide support for overrides of docker-compose.yml (#435)
• Require more disk space before upgrading Postgres to help prevent the disk from becoming full during the upgrade (#424)
• Set a maximum width in the web interface for an improved user experience (getodk/central-frontend#447)
• Fix a bug that showed all empty values in the Entities table for a Dataset property whose name contained a hyphen or period or was otherwise not a valid OData identifier (getodk/central-frontend#793)
• Do not show empty rows in front of Properties in the Dataset overview (getodk/central-backend#833)
• Allow the file names of Submission Attachments to contain Unicode characters or punctuation (#433)
• Allow a test Submission to be created for a Form Draft that links to a Dataset (getodk/central-backend#897)
• Set ETag header for OpenRosa form attachment endpoint (getodk/central-backend#826)
• Ensure structural change to a Form does not prevent managed encryption form being enabled (getodk/central-backend#898)
• Check that Dataset property names are valid in XML XForms, not just XLSForms (getodk/central-backend#688, getodk/central-backend#784)
• Fix a bug in the API that returned incorrect createdAt and updatedAt timestamps for Submissions when extended metadata was requested. Properties of the submitter were incorrectly added to the Submission. (getodk/central-backend#858)
• The User-Agent header is no longer required in the API. Most API clients specify User-Agent automatically, but it is now fully optional. (getodk/central-backend#896)
