Release v2.2.1

Small bugfix release for 2.0.0...

Fixes/Features

• Fixed creation of duplicate 'default' baskets
• Fixed Timezone exception that caused the Search bar not to appear
• Started work on deep linking (e.g., http://damselfly:6363/?tag=cat will now populate search results for 'cat')
• Fixed log viewer (accessed from the Info page) so it loads async (and faster).
• Added the ability to create new users from within the User Management settings page
• Added ability to disable registration from the public login page

Note: for the duplicate 'default' basket issue, to clean up now it's fixed, either do it via the UI (click the 'Edit Basket' icon, and 'delete'), or if there's too many to do that, ssh to the folder mounted as the /config folder, and in the 'db' folder, do sqlite3 damselfly.db, and then execute delete from baskets where name = 'default';. A new default basket will be created next time you start Damselfly.
