This should look to consistent locations when looking for relative paths,
without depending on current working directory.
For absolute paths, nothing changes.
This is just a function (with an ugly side effect for caching purposes) that
heuristically tries to compute the Etherpad installation path when running under
Unix and win32 (they have different file system layouts).
This path can be used by Etherpad as a base for all the relative paths, in order
to be deterministic and not depending on cwd.
This is the location that is choosen by default when Etherpad starts with no
settings.json file.
It was different than the one contained into setting.json.template.
Version 2.x is not backwards compatible with 1.x.
However, according to [0], [1] and [2], it seems that the biggest concern is
when mixing different server and client versions, and this is not Etherpad's
case.
Smoke tested (successfully) on Firefox 61, Chromium 68.

Written the changelog and updated package.json.
From now on, releases will be cut from develop, and merged directly into master.
Each release will be a tag on the master branch (e.g. 1.7.0).
A "release/1.7.0" branch will eventually be created only if/when a hotfix will
be needed.
Starting with Etherpad 1.7.0, the branching strategies for releases will be
simplified.
Leaving this script here, as it's useful for documenting other release-related
activities.
Minimum supported Node version is 6.9.0, but Object.values() was introduced in
Node < 7. Let's use a polyfill if needed.
This will be removed when minimum supported Node version is raised to 8.9.0.
Fixes#3459
No more merge commits in the PR: we want to be able to bisect easily.
Probably the whole doc needs to be updated. Also, we need to have templates for
PRs and Bug Reports, and they have to be described in the document.
Fixes#3454
When installing dependencies, npm informed us that measured had been deprecated,
and renamed to measured-core. Let's follow the advice, and get rid of the
warning.
npm WARN deprecated measured@1.1.0: This package has been renamed to
measured-core, all versions of measured have been re-released under
measured-core, please update your package and consider updating to the newest
version. See https://github.com/yaorg/node-measured for latest updates.
This package is used to expose a single endpoint ("/stats"), whose output does
not change after this commit.
Fixes#3458
The port parameter is supported by the mysql driver, but to know this one has to
read through ueberDB's code.
At least for this simple case, it may make sense to be explicit.
Fixes#3453
The hostname:port of URIs used in Minify are currently bogus and refer
to localhost only for historical reasons; there's no reason to retain
them and omitting them avoids generating an invalid URI when "port" is
not an integer.
Context: settings.port is passed to express's listen; if not numeric, it
is used a filename for a Unix domain socket.
This allows e.g. starting a server to be reverse-proxied on a multi-user
system, using the filesystem to handle access control and avoiding need
to allocate port numbers.
Before this change, etherpad-lite starts without error when configured
to listen on a Unix domain socket in this manner. However, `pad.js` and
`ace2_common.js` are generated incorrecting, causing an error
"Uncaught Error: The module at "ep_etherpad-lite/static/js/rjquery" does not exist."
when loading the editor:
When settings.port is a non-numeric string, e.g. `etherpad.sock`, a URI
of the form `http://localhost:etherpad.sock/static/js/rjquery.js` is
generated and parsed to find the file needed. In this case, the file
searched for is `:etherpad.sock/static/js/rjquery.js`, rather than the
expected `static/js/rjquery.js`. No such file exists, and the required
code is silently omitted from the bundle.
As a workaround, hard-code a (meaningless) hostname which can be parsed
correctly, since the current code makes no use of it anyway.
In its current form, Etherpad stores passwords for users in plain text in
settings.json. We should at least mention the opportunity of installing
ep_hash_auth to start tackling this problem.
The advice was added in README.md and in settings.json.template
Fixes#3444
This commit replaces an old test with a new, different one.
Reasons for removing the old test:
- the old list test was introduced in cadb83a with an explicit attempt to import
an invalid HTML and see if it could recover from it
- in 5967e08 the code base finally managed to export a meaningful HTML (but we
do not know if other bugs were introduced in pursuing this)
- the old test seemed to aim at attaining resiliency, but correctness should be
addressed before that

Etherpad 1.6.6 does not run on node <= 5 already.
Node 6.9 is the first LTS release in the 6 series, and comes with npm 3.10.8.
Declarations in package.json are advisory unless the user has set
`engine-strict` config flag.
Updated the docs accordingly.
The fix was done on another branch to show that it completely solves tests
failures introduced by 2be873e3c7.
All remaining failures in this branch are due to other changes made after
**1.6.6**, namely from fe08d2a1db included onwards.
These changes make the frontend tests send keydown instead of keypress in
firefox, in accordance with #3413 (Use keydown instead of keypress on Firefox).
The percentage of passing frontend in Firefox 61 on this revision is 100%.
