release: v0.26.1 (#2097)

# [0.26.1] - 2024-09-04

## 🚀 Features

- **Respect the use of `--output` flag in the supergraph binary -
@aaronArinder PR #2045**

In testing to attempt to reduce the runtime of `supergraph compose` we
noticed that a very large proportion of the time spent (in the case of
large supergraphs) was spent printing the result to `stdout`. With this
change we add an `--output` flag to the `supergraph` binary which means
this time can be reduced significantly, leading to much faster
compositions.

- **Add `--license` flag to `rover dev` - @loshz PR #2078**

Adds the ability to pass along an offline enterprise licence to the
router when running `rover dev`

- **Remove Rayon and reduce usage of Crossbeam - @jonathanrainer PR
#2081**
  
Now that `rover` has transitioned to using an asynchronous runtime we
don't need to use Rayon any more. This also resolves a bug whereby
`rover dev` could lock up if passed a `supergraph.yaml` file with lots
of subgraphs in.

- **Introduce new print macros - @loshz PR #2090**
  
Adds three new macros to the codebase so that we can still visually
distinguish between INFO, WARNING and ERROR log lines without the use of
emoji

- **Use new print macros in place of emoji - @loshz PR #2096**

Updates the locations that previously used emoji to utilise the new
macros defined in the previous PR

## 🐛 Fixes

- **Stop Windows Installer failing if whitespace is accidentally passed
to the `rover install` command - @jonathanrainer PR #1975**

In some situations it was possible for whitespace to be passed to the
`rover install` command which then caused the installer to fail. A guard
has now been added to strip whitespace out before it is passed to the
install command.

## 🛠 Maintenance

- **Move CI to using newly create Ubuntu images - @jonathanrainer PR
#2080**

CircleCI is removing support for older Ubuntu machine images, this
brings us up to date but does **not** change any of our `glibc` support
etc.

- **Add check for aarch-64-unknown-linux-musl to installers - @loshz PR
#2079**
- **Update node.js packages - @jonathanrainer PR #2070**

  Includes `eslint` to v9.9.1 and `node` to 20.17.0

- **Update `node` CircleCI orb to v5.3.0 - @jonathanrainer PR #2071**
- **Update `apollographql/federation-rs` to v2.9.0 - @jonathanrainer PR
