v1.17.0

Launched with this release:

• Europeana XX features:
  • Create your own Europeana website account:
    You may now sign up for your own Europeana website account by following the "Login" link at the top of any page, then "Sign up"
  • Like items:
    Once you have an account and are logged in, you can start to like items by using the ❤️ symbol shown by them in places such as search results, and on the item pages themselves, and these likes will be stored on your account. NB: for the time being there is a limit of 100 items that can be liked, but this limit will be removed soon.
  • Create your own galleries of items (AKA user sets):
    Also once you have an account and are logged in, you can start to create your own galleries of items in Europeana by using the ➕ symbol shown alongside the ❤️ symbol. This will permit you to add to, or remove from, a gallery you have already created, or indeed to create a new one. Galleries may be kept private just for yourself, or made public to share with others.

New in this release:

• Sets displayed on a user's account page are filtered to those of type "Collection"

• Update to 'card' sizes and styling to make these consistent throughout the site.

Fixed in this release:

Changed in this release:

• Usage of the Europeana Media player has been restricted to only attempt to show items which have MimeTypes compatible with it.
• Due to loading issues where an item with multiple web resources would have each web resource be loaded multiple times by the europeana media player, the European Media player has been disabled in these scenarios. Instead a standard HTML video/audio component is used.

Under the hood:
