`ngx-translate` now optional & new Range Filters feature

This new release introduces couple of big new features, the 2 biggest ones are the following:

1. ngx-translate now optional... you no longer need to install ngx-translate when using only 1 locale (English or any other locale). If it's other than English, you can also provide a custom locale file, more info in links below.
   • new Wiki Localization-with-Custom-Locales and a new demo repo. 🎉
2. Add new Range Filters, basically allows to have filter between min/max values but combined into 1 column filter. You can use a regular input filter and use the 2 dots notation to separate 2 numbers (e.g.: 5..10 between 5 and 10), and there are also 2 new Filters which are the Slider Range and the Date Range Filters. These new filters also work with the Backend Services (OData, GraphQL) which were updated and tested.
   • new Wiki Range Filters and new Example 25 to demo this new feature.

Other interesting additions

• add support of OData v4
• add more Cypress E2E tests
• thanks to @bocall, all angular-slickgrid-demos were updated to Angular 8.2

Also worth knowing that every single bug reported that were fixed in the past month now also have Cypress tests to avoid seeing these bugs again.

Important Note

We now have a new centralized angular-slickgrid-demos (replacing the standalone BS4 demo), so make sure to head over that repo to see all the existing Angular-Slickgrid examples. It includes a bunch of demos with/without ngx-translate and with Bootstrap 3 / 4

Use and like this library... please make sure to up vote ⭐️
