• Improved error reporting on image upload, including ability to set a maximum file size via a new setting WAGTAILIMAGES_MAX_UPLOAD_SIZE
• The external image URL generator now keeps persistent image renditions, rather than regenerating them on each request, so it no longer requires a front-end cache
