Tried to simplify the document, to reduce unneded info, and to use a less
informal language.
For example, the introductory links describing git made sense 10 years ago.
Today they are not needed to understand what Etherpad is.
And mercurial was always better than git, anyways :)
The mailing list and the IRC channel seem pretty dead by now. Let's just
move everything to Github issues, which was the de facto situation anyways.
About the donation links: I am the maintainer, and I do not know the identity of
the owners of the donation links, so it is correct to remove them. The same was
done on the website three months ago:
https://github.com/ether/ether.github.com/commit/d4ef04605da5
Do not touch vendorized files (e.g. libraries that were imported from external
projects).
No functional changes.
Command:
find . -name '*.<EXTENSION>' -type f -print0 | xargs -0 sed -i 's/[[:space:]]*$//'
In preparation for next commit. I was not able to find other non-vendorized
files that were in DOS format and legitimately needed to be converted.
No functional changes.
When nodejs 8.9.0 was released, its bundled npm version was 5.5.1 (see
https://nodejs.org/en/download/releases). It makes sense that we lover our
requirement to that version.
Please note that the npm version mentioned here does not refer to the npm
library installed as Etherpad dependency in node_modules via package.json
(which indeed is higher) but is merely the npm version used to bootstrap the
installation when running installDeps.sh.
This change amends 9d35d15ae3 and its planning issue - #3424 - which were too
strict.
By leveraging the templating mechanism in `settings.json`, this change allows a
Docker client to run a prebuilt image and change some basic configuration
settings, like the instance name or, more importantly, the database
coordinates.
By default, the image runs witho no administrative user enabled. If a value is
given to ADMIN_PASSWORD, the `admin` user will be activated.
Also closes https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite/issues/3623

Modified by muxator to support conditional user activation at runtime.
If environment variable PASSW is not defined, the following would be very
different:
"password": "${PASSW}" // would result in password === null
"password": "${PASSW:}" // would result in password === ''
This characteristic will be used in the next commit, when we will use it to
discard a user if his password were null (and in turn use it for docker
containerization).
No functional changes.
Added pad_utils sanitization for clean and safe error handling on browsers that
do not encode the path of the URL.
Edited by muxator based on https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite/pull/3647,
to be able to apply the patch on develop (the PR was for master), and perform
minor cleanups (mainly spurious statements).
Closes#3647.
The vendored jquery version was 1.9.1 from 2013-02-04. Let's replace it with the
most recent one from the 1.x branch (1.12.4 from 2016-05-20).
The modification in rjquery.js is needed because recent jQuery versions changed
their behaviour, and do not set themselves on the global window object.
See: https://github.com/parcel-bundler/parcel/issues/333#issuecomment-357882648
This will be the lastest jQuery 1.x version ever, because 1.x branch is
definitively EOLed (see https://github.com/jquery/jquery.com/issues/162).
This is a stopgap measure to get the latest security fixes. Going forward,
another strategy will be needed.
Closes#3640
This commit introduces the support for the ETHERPAD_PLUGINS build parameter,
which contains a list of plugins to be installed while building the container.
EXAMPLE:
docker build --build-arg ETHERPAD_PLUGINS="ep_codepad ep_author_neat" --tag <YOUR_USERNAME>/etherpad .
Resolves#3618.
WORKDIR is also valid at build time, thus it makes sense to move it as towards
the top as possible.
This will come in hand in the next commits, when we will introduce support for
installing plugins while building the container.
Source: https://docs.docker.com/develop/develop-images/dockerfile_best-practices/#workdir
[...] you should use WORKDIR instead of proliferating instructions like
RUN cd … && do-something,
which are hard to read, troubleshoot, and maintain.
When visiting Etherpad's home page with Chrome the "ok" button was not on the
same line as the pad name text box. On Firefox & Safari there was no problem.
Tested on Chrome 74.
Fixes#3604.
This is a non breaking change.
From the changelog (https://github.com/expressjs/session/blob/v1.16.1/HISTORY.md#1161--2019-04-11):

- Fix uncaught error from bad session data
# 1.16.0 / 2019-04-10
- Catch invalid cookie.maxAge value earlier
- Deprecate setting cookie.maxAge to a Date object
- Fix issue where resave: false may not save altered sessions
- Remove utils-merge dependency
- Use safe-buffer for improved Buffer API

This is just a dev dependency, so no real risks, but it's better not to scare
users.

Currently the version is exposed in a 'Server' http headers.
This commit allows to parameterize it in the settings. By defaults it is
not exposed.
Fixes#3423
The current behaviour is to show the chat bubble and hide if chat is
disabled.
Because of this, the bubble appears wrongfully for a short time.
With this PR, by default it is hidden and displayed only if chat is
enabled.
Fixes: #3088
