General

• Updated documentation

• Added a 'Persona' and 'File type' refiner templates for the filters Web Part (#16).

  • Fixed the vertical layout when many refiners are displayed.
• Fixed #69
  • Added the ability to preview image files using the getpreview.ashx handler.
• Fixed #31
  • Removed the this.context.dynamicDataProvider.registerAvailableSourcesChanged(this.render); method to avoid multiple renders every time. According to SharePoint/sp-dev-docs#2985 (comment), the DynamicProperty should wait for the wired data source and re-render the component when available so no need to to it manually anymore.

• Fixed #53
  • Fixed the 'Apply/Clear' button state in multi refinement template.
• Fixed #55
  • Added a 'queryModification' information in the Handlebars context to see query with SharePoint/WP resolved tokens. Now the debug template is available even if there is no results.
• Fixed #46
  • Now the pagination Web Part does not render when only 1 page.
• Fixed #47 + #20
  • The error was due to the searchParams.append() method encoding spaces with a '+' causing a double encoding.
• Fixed #41
