[L5] v2.2.0

Note: this is a port of features from [L4] 1.1.0. Some of the changes in this release will break your views if you've customised any of them already - if this is the case, just overwrite your current views with the new ones and re-apply your customisations. Please open an issue if you encounter any other problems after upgrading.

This release adds read/unread/updated thread tracking, as well as numerous other minor fixes and improvements (with lots of input and feedback from @nicksnape).

Upgrade steps

1. Run php artisan vendor:publish and run your migrations again to add the new forum_threads_read table.
2. (Optional) Refer to the updated views in the package for additions/changes related to read, unread and updated thread statuses. You may wish to copy any new view changes to your app's versions of the views.
3. (Optional) Refer to the new forum.preferences.thread.cutoff_age config parameter. You may wish to copy this to your app's version of the forum.preferences config file and tweak it to your liking.

This feature adds a new route relative to your forum root called new, which will show slightly different content to logged in users versus guest users:

• If logged in, it lists all threads that are completely new/unread or replied to since last read within the time period specified by forum.preferences.thread.cutoff_age.
• If not logged in, it lists all threads that were created/replied to within the time period specified by forum.preferences.thread.cutoff_age.
