6.8.0

Changes

The main feature of this release is the ability to mark form fields as PII (Personal identifiable information) and hide them from reviewers etc. Set PII_FIELD_MARKING_ENABLED to True to show the PII checkboxes.

In wagtail admin many things can be sorted, e.g. category question options. In a push this spring to make all of Hypha translatable we made a mistake when adding Meta: overrides that made them overwrite instead of adding values. This has been fixed now.
