Data Formulator 0.8b1

This beta introduces a more polished and consistent Data Formulator experience, with improved workspace and session management, streamlined data connector workflows, responsive high-resolution layouts, and refined chart themes and controls.

It also expands connector and authentication support, improves persistence and desktop packaging, and includes broad reliability, accessibility, and release automation updates.

We welcome feedback as we work toward the stable 0.8 release.
