pgAdmin 4 v1.3 Released!

I'm pleased to announce the release of pgAdmin 4 v1.3. Users are
advised to upgrade as soon as possible.

This release contains nearly 40 bug fixes, largely focussed in the
following areas:

- Query Tool efficiency. The JSON formatting used by the query tool
has been changed to dramatically decrease the size of the data
transferred to the UI. In relatively simple tests of a joined query on
pg_class and pg_attribute, the JSON size was reduced by >75%. The
changes made mean that the savings increase as the number of rows
and/or columns in the resultset increase.

- Unicode and multi-byte handling is vastly improved, with a lot of
effort going into ensuring that the underlying Python version makes no
difference in behaviour. There are still a handful of minor edge-cases
remaining that will be addressed in future releases.

- Issues with external process management that affected
backup/restore/import/export and maintenance operations should now be
resolved. Significant investigation led to the conclusion that one of
the dependency libraries used by pgAdmin failed to operate correctly
when used in forked processes, in some circumstances. The process
management code has been rewritten (largely in v1.2) and remaining
issues seen in the field are believed to be resolved in this release.

- An issue with the desktop runtime has been resolved to ensure that
the front end user interface is properly authenticated to the back end
server. This could present a security issue for users running on
multi-user systems in desktop mode (e.g. a Windows or X terminal
server). Users on single user desktops or running pgAdmin in server
mode were not affected. Thanks to Bruno Friedmann for reporting this
issue and helping test the fix.

- Various other smaller issues in SQL generation and display of
certain data types were also resolved.
