v0.5.0

• Substantial file processing speedup. MicrobeTrace can now reasonably manage sessions of up to 2000 sequences of ~1000 nucleotides.
• Redesigned the timeline to show cumulative or non-cumulative epi curves instead of nodes.
• Completely redesigned the phylogenetic tree view using a new library, TidyTree
• Enriched the Waterfall view with additional metadata from the entity of interest.
• Improvements to the Map View Data, specifically around matching County data based on County names (in conjunction with State names, of course) or FIPS Codes.
• Created an new "Aggregate" View, which performs a rudimentary group-by and count on any variable in your dataset.
• Caching has been re-written from scratch, and should now work more in-line with our expectations. If you're connected to the internet, you get the latest versions of the files. If not, you get cached versions.
• Added several new security features.
• Reduced the repository size.
