Release 5.1.66 February 23, 2022 barney

Includes DB changes. You need to log all terminals out during upgrade

This version refines a step in 5.1.65 about hosing out useless supp.format metadata out of pricefiles.

For dealers who are installed 5.1.65 already, this update will be non functional. But for dealers not yet updated, this version applies this fix in a more thorough/efficient way. Also if forces DB upgrade lock to make sure the job is done.

Backstory: c9 now includes the ability to magically reformat part numbers from suppliers who don't bother to format them nicely for our eyeballs but retain the suppliers formatting where needed because some suppliers not only kill off spaces and dashes, but they leave them in some parts and representing them this way is essential for processes such as electronic ordering 🙃. The solution is a bit of a quick and dirty cludge in that it parks the supplier formatted number as a price file attribute and uses that at key points (order export & magician query), and the underlying problem is a complex one. But hopefully now it is sorted / robust.
