Highlight of the Release

• Fixed Username & Password providers listing
• Normalized package.json files across the codebase

Migration Guide

No migration steps are required for this beta release as the changes are primarily internal code cleanup and bug fixes that don't affect the public API or require user intervention.

Upgrade Recommendations

If you're already using Strapi v4.0.0-beta.18, upgrading to beta.19 is recommended to benefit from the bug fixes, particularly if you're using Username & Password providers.

For production environments, it's still advisable to wait for the final v4.0.0 release rather than using beta versions.
