<!-- Release notes generated using configuration in .github/release.yml at V2 -->
This is a hotfix release to fix issues identified in our [v2.0.0](https://github.com/Stirling-Tools/Stirling-PDF/releases/tag/v2.0.0) release (Please check [here](https://github.com/Stirling-Tools/Stirling-PDF/releases/tag/v2.0.0) if you wish to see the notes on that)

The main issues fixed are: 
- Added frontend code into jar for easy single jar hosted as previous
- Added new -Server.jar for a jar without this additional frontend code
- Desktop installer issues with CORS and various other issues with connections and loading/refreshing
- The syling of certain UI components in darkmode
- Various UI prompts showing in incorrect order

Ongoing issues that are still being addressed
- Certain SSO providers are not working with V2, 
- Users using a custom url subpath such as website.com/pdf are not being fully supported in V2
- Some users are not being grandfathered correctly
We are looking into all three of these issues on priority and expect a release on this soon.
