Full Release Notes

## What's Changed

 > Note: This Beta release includes a configuration change: `auth.method` is now deprecated. This is done to allow multiple login methods at once. Auth methods are specified via `auth.methods` instead. see [example on the wiki](https://github.com/gtsteffaniak/filebrowser/wiki/Configuration#example-auth-config). If you don't update your config, you'll see a warning and it will default to password method.

  **Notes**:
