Improvements

• You can now easily add a temporary message to any part of the application by configuring a few AppModel settings. This is useful when you need to show an important timely message to your users, such as a warning about a planned outage, an announcement about new features, etc. You can specify a start and end time during which the message should appear, a container element in which to insert the message, and additional HTML classes to assign to the message element.
