[tabacitu]

Breaking changes:

• [Bug Fix][3.5][WIP] Adds crud->orderBy only when no other order has been specified #1535 - orderBy gets ignored when the user clicks on a column heading to reoder the datatable;
• [3.5][Merged] List view facelift, so information takes center-stage #1675 - chages to crud/css/list.css, so assets need to be republished with --force;

• [3.5][Feature][Ready] Add orderLogic option to columns #1704 - orderLogic for columns;
• [3.5] No longer convert empty strings to null #1709 - assuming if you're have MySQL strict mode turned on, you'll be using Laravel's ConvertEmptyStringsToNull middleware - we no longer turn empty strings to null upon create() and update()
