Version 1.3.19 release notes

This release fixes a couple of issues with POST requests. We fixed a bug where a JSON body with an unrecognized attriute was silently ignored and no warning or error was reported. Making a POST request that is not understood will now generate an HTTP 400. We also were requiring a different format for the on-sale data parameters in the POST body (i.e. '2018-06-13') than we were in GET parameters (i.e. '06/13/2018'). We've improved this so that the POST can now accept either date format though the GET still requires the 'M/D/Y' construction.

We also added a new parameter minAffinity for the /works/views/also-purchased view that adds a WHERE-clause filter of the form cp.affinity >= :minAffinity.
