v4.0.1

Version 4.0.1 is a maintenance release that fixed several usability issues regarding self hosting. It also added new feature to show you total times an event occurred by including the deduplicated event counts in the total occurrences.

• We now include the total number of events discarded by the clients in the overall total so you can see how many times a specific event is occurring without paying the price of sending all events.
• You can now have two projects with the same exact name in multiple organizations (Contrib @nj).
• Various user interface usability issues have been fixed in this release. Please view the UI release notes for more info.
• We updated Foundatio and received some nice performance improvements by reducing the amount of overhead pertaining to the message bus and queues. This should result in much less work happening inside of the app especially if you are running jobs out of process.
• We made the elasticsearch mapper-size plugin optional in this release so users hosting on managed elasticsearch services can now upgrade seamlessly. We highly recommend using this plugin as it allows you to query by event size. This can be enabled by installing the plugin and setting the EnableElasticsearchMapperSizePlugin AppSetting to true. See #280 for more information
• Many improvements were made around the event posts job to be more reliable and give more insight into how the job is behaving. We added improved logging and metrics and also updated the default event post size limit to 1MB. This is controllable via the MaximumEventPostSize setting.
