Release 17.6 - Key Features

As part of the roadmap towards a new Identity Model, a number of difference in the ways that Scouters and Youth were stored and processed were aligned.

Specifically, the Scouters 'is excluded' and 'other email addresses' properties are now implemented with using the same constructs as the youths' contacts, and all processing is handled identically.

And, the client code was streamlined to use a single 'Members' table, rather than distinct 'Youth' and 'Scouters' tables. The server was modified to generate the consolidated 'Members' table, but still returns the distinct 'Youth' and ' Scouters' table to accommodate browers that resist updating the ScoutsTracker client code.
