+5.3.0 - 2026-02-20
+    - Moved the template Create/Copy/Edit/Delete/Rename functionality to
+        its own page to make it less confusing and to fix some strange
+        behavior.
+    - Added global templates which can be used by anyone but can only be 
+        created, modified, or deleted by administrators. This makes it 
+        easier to employ standardized templates.
+    - Changed the character encoding of the database to utf8mb4 to enable
+        using emojis in text fields.
+    - Changed the insert link functionality. There are now two fields, link 
+        text, and URL. The full URL string will now not be displayed in the
+        note, since it frequently was too long and deformed the table, 
+        causing the user to have to scroll right to see the entire note. If
+        a URL is entered in the URL field and no link text is entered in the
+        link text field, the link will show up as just the last part of the
+        URL. For example, "http://somewhere.com/myfile.pdf" will show as
+        "myfile.pdf" in the note text. If text is entered in the link text
+        field, that is what will show as the clickable link in the note text.
+        NOTE: URLs in previously entered notes will not automatically be
+        converted.
+    - Changed the flag handling code to no longer dynamically create flag_ 
+        tables in the database to track assignments. This is now done using
+        a flagmap table.
+        NOTE: The database will be modified to support this and the
+        importation of the previous data will take some time during
+        installation.
+    - References will no longer be stored in the lognotes table with the note.
+        There is now a reflinks table that stores the link information.
+        NOTE: The database will be modified to support this and the
+        importation of the previous data will take some time during
+        installation.
+    - Various code cleanups to prevent php warnings in the logs if logging
+        is enabled.
