Moving classes to html tag so it can be used to style other part of template depending on plugins like #users, #chat etc...
Rename plugin class with "plugin-" prefix, because there were conflicts with some plugins using the same .ep_font_color class to apply css rules
- path.exists() is no longer part of nodejs
- fs.exists() is deprecated (as of nodejs >= 8)
- checking a file for existence before using it is open to raca condition. It is
preferable to go ahead and use the file, and eventually handle the error
- we can afford two simple synchronous fs operations here
Next version will be Etherpad 1.8. As planned in #3424, we are going to require
NodeJS >=8.9.0 and npm >= 6.4.
This commit implements that change and updates documentation and scripts.
Subsequent changes will get rid of old idioms, dating back to node < 0.7, that
still survive in the code.
Once migrated to NodeJS 8, we will be able to start working on migrating the
code base from callbacks to async/await, greatly simplifying legibility (see
#3540).
Closes#3557
Until Etherpad 1.7.5, process.on('SIGTERM') and process.on('SIGINT') were not
hooked up under Windows, because old nodejs versions did not support them.
This excluded the possibility of doing a graceful shutdown of the database
connection under that platform.
According to nodejs 6.x documentation, it is now safe to do so. This allows to
gracefully close the DB connection when hitting CTRL+C under Windows, for
example.

- SIGTERM is not supported on Windows, it can be listened on.
- SIGINT from the terminal is supported on all platforms, and can usually be
generated with <Ctrl>+C (though this may be configurable). It is not
generated when terminal raw mode is enabled.
A Windows manual install has the same directory layout of a normal Unix one
(e.g. the nice symlink node_modules/ep_etherpad-lite -> ../src).
Only when running from the pre-built Windows package the directory layout is
different (e.g. src is physically copied into node_modules/ep_etherpad-lite).
The previous version of the code wrongly assumed that all Windows installs would
be run from the pre-built pakage.
In this version the path search is the same on all platform. If it fails, and we
are on Windows, there is a fallback for the specific case of the pre-built
package.
Fixes#3550
some code chunks previously used `async.parallel` but if you
use `await` that forces them to be run serially. Instead,
you can initiate the operation (getting a Promise) and then
_later_ `await` the result of that Promise.
If you use `await` inside a loop it makes the loop inherently serial.
If you omit the `await` however, the tasks will all start but the loop
will finish while the tasks are still being scheduled.
So, to make a set of tasks run in parallel but then have the
code block after the loop once all the tasks have been completed
you have to get an array of Promises (one for each iteration) and
then use `Promise.all()` to wait for those promises to be resolved.
Using `Array#map` is a convenient way to go from an array of inputs
to the require array of Promises.
NB1: needs additional review and testing - no abiword available on my test bed
NB2: in ImportHandler.js, directly delete the file, and handle the eventual
error later: checking before for existence is prone to race conditions,
and does not handle any errors anyway.
- removed possible issue with failing to sanitize `padName` if `padId` was also
supplied
- removed unnecessary `try` block
- simplified API and function name matching tests
Also converted the handler functions that depend on checkAccess() into async
functions too.
NB: this commit needs specific attention to it because it touches a lot of
security related code!
The install instructions relied on the default branch being "master" on Github.
This has no longer been the case for some time now.
Let's be explicit, and directly advise new users to put themselves on the stable
branch ("master").
This patch also contains significant refactoring relating to error checking of
arguments supplied to the functions (e.g. rev) facilitated by use of `throw`
instead of nodeback errors.
