- Added sorting to dropdown lists of the Retrace UI: Custom Dashboards, App Filters, and Users in notification groups
- Enhanced how similar errors are grouped in the errors dashboard to reduce duplication of "New" errors in Retrace

> Errors are processed to anonymize them which allows Retrace to report occurrences of a single error versus treating every error as if it where unique. This enhancement improved the algorithm used to remove contextual information and better aggregate the errors being reported.

- Added support for additional special characters within an Application or Environment name

## Bug Fixes

- Resolved issue causing a failure when attempting to add a custom dashboard widget from a server monitor

- Fixed a Website Check Monitor issue that prevented alerts to be sent
- Fixed a time discrepancy between an alert shown in Retrace and the reported timestamp in an email notification
- Fixed a bug where the "View in Stackify" link in an email notification or SMS message for new and regressed errors wouldn't redirect users to the correct error.
- Fixed an issue where the Two Factor Authentication (2FA) icon for Retrace users was not displaying accurately
