Tesseract v1.4.20 Released

Cross-posted from "v1.4.20 Released" by @ptz@dubvee.org in !tesseract@dubvee.org

This is a fairly large release packed with lots of UI refinements, removal of a lot of legacy cruft (though sadly not all yet), new features, better moderation workflow, and lots of bugfixes. This is probably the most overhaul the basics of the UI have seen in one release since the first versions.

Probably my favorite new feature is the configurable "hybrid" view. In hybrid view, all posts default to compact mode, and you can configure which post types should display as cards by default. e.g. Image posts (memes, pictures, etc) will default to cards with everything else remaining compact. You can also, optionally, keep posts that are marked read in compact view.

Additionally, all posts (except text-only posts; there's no difference) can be toggled individually between compact and card now. Previously, this was only possible when the view was set to 'compact'.
