1.0.0b4 (February 7, 2020)

This is the fourth 1.0 beta release. Further changes beyond the pull requests listed here may have been applied in (GH321).

The biggest change is a new data model for Reports so that metrics, processed data, and generated Bokeh javascript and SVG figures are stored in JSON in the API. This removes the requirement for Pandoc and HTML reports can be generated using only Jinja. Other changes include report figure generated from a common data source, better error handling if computing a report fails, and actual data validation results, including the number of missing and dropped values, in the report.
