Great Reading Adventure versions 4.4.2 and 4.5.0

[k7hpn]

We've made two releases of The Great Reading Adventure, incorporating all the updates since our last release in August of 2023. These two releases have feature parity - they are the same code but running under two different platforms.

• Great Reading Adventure v4.5.0 is the latest release which runs on ASP.NET Core 8
• Great Reading Adventure v4.4.2 runs on ASP.NET Core 7

We recommend using v4.5.0 with ASP.NET Core 8, as ASP.NET Core 7 reached end-of-life and stopped being supported in May of 2024.

Notable changes in these releases:

• Retain participant challenge filter selections in the session
• Change display of "Program" on the participant side to "Age Group"
• Welcome email capability with sending delay after program signup, maximum number of emails limit
• Fix avatar scrolling bug at mobile responsive level
• Streamlined account creation abilities via authorization codes
• Performer scheduling enhancements including coversheet generation, streaming improvements
• Performer spreadsheet export
• Job system with scheduled tasks for sending emails
• Improve hold slips to include age group and group name, allow generation without marking received
• Fix issues resulting in participants having multiple assigned vendor codes
