Releasing 3.9.1

Let's get the ball rolling on releasing 3.9.1. The issues I are aware of that should be patched for this version are:

Are you aware of any other issue that needs urgent fixing and releasing? Or other bug fixes in the master branch that should be backported too?

Yes, it would be nice to put in effort to fix regressions, like the BOM detection for CSV files. It's a pain for a few users reported to me in training sessions (FYI, privately heard some gov data also particularly exhibits this in the newsrooms) Encoding Regression from other issue #6595 · Issue #7039 · OpenRefine/OpenRefine · GitHub

Doable? Easy?

The other is that of older OpenRefine projects not being able to be opened since 3.8 landed because of Jackson's changes. I don't know if this could be a quick fix for us to just set a hardcoded higher limit setting in Jackson config?

I made a PR for the Jackson issue: #7191.

I wonder if @Rory could be tempted to have a look at the encoding issue above? I don't have much mental context around it, but I could also look into it.

I'd be happy to look into the encoding issue. It looks like the ticket has enough for me to try and reproduce so I'll get started and reach out if (or when) I have some follow up questions.
