# Changes for the next release
# 1.8.8
### Compatibility changes
* Node.js 10.17.0 or newer is now required.
* The `bin/` and `tests/` directories were moved under `src/`. Symlinks were
added at the old locations to hopefully avoid breaking user scripts and other
stuff.
tools.
* The top-level `package.json` file, added in v1.8.7, has been removed due to
problematic npm behavior. Whenever you install a plugin you will see the
following benign warnings that can be safely ignored:
```
npm WARN saveError ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '.../package.json'
npm WARN enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '.../package.json'
npm WARN develop No description
npm WARN develop No repository field.
npm WARN develop No README data
npm WARN develop No license field.
```
### Notable new features
* You can now generate a link to a specific line number in a pad. Appending
`#L10` to a pad URL will cause your browser to scroll down to line 10.
* Database performance is significantly improved.
* Admin UI now has test coverage in CI. (The tests are not enabled by default;
see `settings.json`.)
* New stats: `activePads`, `lastDisconnected`, `memoryUsageHeap`.
* For plugin authors:
* New `callAllSerial()` function that invokes hook functions like `callAll()`
except it supports asynchronous hook functions.
* `callFirst()` and `aCallFirst()` now support the same wide range of hook
function behaviors that `callAll()`, `aCallAll()`, and `callAllSerial()`
support. Also, they now warn when a hook function misbehaves.
* The `padCopy` and `padRemove` hooks now support asynchronous hook functions.
* Backend tests for plugins can now use the
[`ep_etherpad-lite/tests/backend/common`](src/tests/backend/common.js)
module to start the server and simplify API access.
### Notable fixes
* Enter key now stays in focus when inserted at bottom of viewport.
* Interface no longer loses color variants on disconnect/reconnect event.
* Removed npm.load to support npm7.
* General code quality is further significantly improved.
* Improved reliability of server shutdown and restart.
* No longer error if no buttons are visible.
* Update Socket.IO to address a minor security vulnerability.
* For plugin authors:
* Fixed `collectContentLineText` return value handling.
