Our latest patch version contains a few important fixes, including one for the Export page (#1703), which broke with our last release (v0.17).

It also adds an important new command-line tool for admins to easily clear out accounts in a single mass action (#1705). This is especially useful for instances that were affected by a vulnerability that still allowed account registrations on closed servers (v0.16 or earlier).
