Outline v0.64.0 release notes

Note: This update requires database migrations, take your installation offline, backup the database, and run with yarn db:migrate or yarn db:migrate —env production-ssl-disabled

The ALLOWED_DOMAINS environment variable was moved into the UI under Settings -> Security. Upon upgrading, any existing values set in the environment will be automatically migrated and you can safely remove the ALLOWED_DOMAINS value post-upgrade.

We also introduced stricter validation of all environment variables to help with debugging and setup of the community edition, depending on your environment this may result in new errors or warnings being output upon server startup. If you have empty environment variables defined these should be removed.
