v2.8.1 Release

Minor fixes related to documentation generation and readthedocs integration.
Also, update django-mailer to be compatible with Django 4.2
If you have django-mailer enabled in your config (USE_MAIL_QUEUE=True setting), updating to v2.8 most likely failed while doing the manage.py migrate phase.
This release fixes this issue.

Full Changelog: v2.8...v2.8.1

v2.8 Release

The most notable change in this release is the update from Django 2.2 (previous LTS) to Django 4.2 (current LTS).
This should have no impact on administrators nor visitors. However this enables the Pytition project to keep getting regular bug fixes and security updates from the Django project.
This release also contains lots of UI improvements and bug fixes as well as YunoHost integration related fixes.

IMPORTANT You MUST update your config.py file. You must remove this line TINYMCE_JS_URL = STATIC_URL + TINYMCE_JS_PATH after the DO NOT EDIT AFTER THIS BANNER
