2.2.0 / 2019-12-22
==================
## Notice
2.2.0 focuses on updating the front end of CTFd to use more modern programming practices and changes some aspects of core CTFd design.

* Show affiliation in user and team pages in the admin panel and public and private user and team pages
**Themes**

* Set `tabindex` to 0 since we don't really care for forcing tab order
* Rename `statistics.js` to `graphs.js` in the Admin Panel as it was identified that adblockers can sometimes block the file
**API**

* The Challenge API will now properly freeze the solve count to freeze time

==================
**General**
* Fix issue with downloading files after CTF end when `view_after_ctf` is enabled

* Remove `data-href` from `pages.html` in the Admin Panel to fix the delete button
* Add UI to handle team member removal in Admin Panel
* Fixes account links on the scoreboard page created by `update()`. They now correctly point to the user instead of undefined when in user mode.
* `utils._get_config` will now return `KeyError` instead of `None` to avoid cache misses
**Deployment**
* Use `/dev/shm` for `--worker-tmp-dir` in gunicorn in Docker
* Cache `get_place` code for users and teams.
* Install `Flask-DebugToolbar` in development
* Cache the `/scoreboard` page to avoid having to rebuild the response so often

* Fix bug causing apache2 + mod_wsgi deployments to break
**API**

**Tests**
