Announcing automx2 release 2021.5

[Ralph Seichter]

Changes in release 2021.5 include:

1. The Mobileconfig generator acts smarter when choosing among multiple
servers defined in the database.

2. Attributes mapped to VARCHAR columns in the DB now define column
sizes. This resolves a problem when combining SQLAlchemy with MySQL 8.

3. automx2 now logs a deprecation error message when unable to determine
whether or not a user-defined socket type uses encrypted communication,
i.e. for types other than SSL and STARTTLS.
Starting in a yet to be determined future release, automx2 will handle
unknown socket types as hard errors, and users are therefore encouraged
change their DB entries.
