Full Release Notes

## What's Changed
* **BREAKING CHANGE**: the deprecated `DELETE /api/orgs/:orgId` endpoint is now disabled by default. Instead use `DELETE /api/orgs/:orgId/:name` or set the environment variable `GRIST_ALLOW_DEPRECATED_BARE_ORG_DELETE=true` to keep using the deprecated endpoint.
* The groups API for [SCIM](https://simplecloud.info/) is now available.
* The document comparison feature is no longer in beta.
* External storage for attachments is now enabled by default, if a Grist installation is using external storage for documents (e.g. S3, MinIO, Azure). This is equivalent to the environment variable `GRIST_EXTERNAL_ATTACHMENTS_MODE=snapshots`
* A new user presence feature is now available. Users concurrently viewing the same document appear at the top of the document.
* Miscellaneous bug fixes and translations.

### Grist Enterprise
* The AI Assistant can now explain access rules used in a document.
