New version details

A new version of User Image is available starting in Appian 26.3. When a profile photo isn't available, the component now displays user initials instead of a generic user icon. We also added a new backgroundColor parameter so you can choose a color to display behind the initials.

If you are using a!userImage_26r2() in an expression, you can update it to use the new version by removing the version suffix _26r2. No other updates are needed.
