Flashpoint 13.0.1

Fixed:

• Primary platform not causing a meta.yaml update
• Starting a search by clicking on a right sidebar field incorrectly retains the search result count of the previous query
• Race condition causing service info to not be synced correctly introduced in the last update
• Tags / platforms not being added to a curation when entering their alias
• Platforms not being added to a curation where the platform exists but has zero associated game entries

Changed:

• Tags and Platforms blacklists are treated as an OR despite the rest of the query being treated as an AND. This should make it easier to exclude several tags at once

New:

• Ctrl+Shift+R will now restart the renderer, without restarting the backend. Good for local dev.
