SciServer Betelgeuse 2020-03-24

We have made two major changes to the Files view in the SciServer Dashboard to make it easier to manage your files.

First, the list of files is now sortable by name, last modified date, and size. Click on the column headers to sort by each parameter. Click again to sort in opposite order.

Second, we have added a notifications feature. When you upload or move a file, a bell icon will show a notification. Click on the icon to expand a notifications panel.

Lastly, we have changed our strategy for numbering releases to a date-based system.
