4.4.3

Summary

This is a small bug fix patch. 3 issues have been fixed:

• Fixed an intermittent error with creating screenshots and movies. This would appear as an error saying the screenshot/movie cannot be created.
• Fixed an error that prevented downloading/playing large movies
• Fixed an issue where attempting to share the viewport fails intermittently when using the "base difference" option

One minor update has been made to the popup which shows the FITS Metadata:

• The sort button previously said "Abc", now says "Sort Labels" to be more clear.

Many changes are test related as we continue to add more automated playwright tests.

• Change the integrated date time picker to flatpickr
• Stability updates to fix some edge cases that create broken API calls which cause the application to stop loading new data.
