- There is no client caching of the changelog/version anymore. Instead, server returns the expiration date of its cache, and that is used by the client as well.
- There is now a "Check now" button on the client that appears when data is stale. This means that info is fetched only once and never refreshed (it was refreshed every hour before) unless the user explicitly wants to check latest version, which in turn is as stale as server info is, i.e. 15 minutes max.
- Button style is shared with the "Join a channel" feature, `.btn-small` (not `.btn-sm` to be explicit that this is not a Bootstrap thing).
- Version checker content is now centralized in the `version_checker` template, instead of being partially in the checker template, partially in the Help template, and partially in the code.
- A "Try again" button lets user attempt to fetch info instead of forcing them to reload the page.
- Use Flexbox to display a nicer version checker: icon is slightly bigger, and button is always aligned on the right.
- Changelog logic has been removed from `lounge.js` and moved into the component file.
- Changelog template is only passed what it needs instead of everything the server gives us.
- Public version now displays version checker, since server is caching things.
- Cleaner code overall.
- Keep consistent width between the Help page and Changelog (which is already different from other windows 😠)
- Add icons to the About links
- Make sure `li` elements (i.e. all the lists in changelogs) are consistent in size with rest of the client
- Display version and release notes link on the "About The Lounge" header line, smaller, pushed to the right
- Check new releases when opening the Help window in order to display it without having to open the release notes. Release notes are being fed to the Changelog page at that moment to avoid fetching twice.
- Re-check version/fetch release notes after 24h. Since The Lounge can now run 24/7, reconnect when losing the network, we have to assume an "always-on" usage.
- Change icon, animate background color when getting response from GitHub to avoid flashing.
- Combine click handlers with our wonderful window management. These were the same handler, even with similar checks (`target` exists, etc.), just in 2 different places. This is necessary for the next item.
- Combine "Open release notes" and "Go back to Help" button behaviors with window management handlers. The window management code is gross as ever, and is in desperate need of a refactor, but at least there is no duplicated code for the same behavior + history management. This fixes the "Next" history behavior (however reloading the app while viewing the notes does not load on the notes, but this is a bug for a different PR!).
- Added a rule in the history management thingy: if a link we want to add history handling to has an `id`, store that in the state
- Added a button to go back to the Help window
- Fixed links to releases
- Send user to the GitHub issues *list* instead of *new issue form* because if they do not have a GitHub account, they will be redirected to the login page, which is a rather unpleasant experience when you are already confused...
- Fixed a bug that would return data about a new release in `latest` even though it is already the `current`. It was showing the current version as "The Lounge v... is now available".
- Added https://user-images.githubusercontent.com to the CSP rule when prefetch storage is enabled, because that is where we have stored screenshots in the changelog so far. Meh (we can improve that later if we decide to have a dedicated place for screenshots).
- Fetch changelog info even in public mode because users in public mode can access the release notes. They do not see the result of the version checker however.
The biggest caveat is that JS code (such as functions) will not be interpreted as such, on purpose, for security precautions. If such thing is needed, then a configuration file must be used.
This has multiple benefits:
- Respects the "Do not mock what you do not own" principle, instead we mock `log.raw` when necessary
- Lets us not re-assign `console.log`, which breaks as Mocha uses `console.log` as well
- Save and restore initial `log.raw` in test hooks (before/after), otherwise this would break Mocha/Chai

On most systems (Linux at least), to install a npm package locally, one must use `sudo`. When The Lounge runs, it usually does not run with `sudo`. This causes the program to crash as user running The Lounge cannot create/delete files there.
We will let people manually convert this file instead of doing it for them. This file is mainly intended for package authors anyway, most users will never have to touch it.
- `{}` is not falsey so Handlebars would try to render the block (see http://handlebarsjs.com/builtin_helpers.html#conditionals), therefore with a `nick` of `undefined`, which breaks `colorClass` (doing `undefined.length)
- There does not seem to be a way to check for empty objects in Handlebars (sigh) so checking `from.nick` seems like the most reliable way to check for a non-empty value. Alternatively, we could use a helper to check `{}` but meh.
Our `.eslintrc.yml` configuration file already allows for avoiding escape (see [ESLint doc for `avoidEscape`](https://eslint.org/docs/rules/quotes#avoidescape)) so we might as well use it. We already use this in a few places I believe.
If the Content-Length header is present in the response when an image
is prefetched, The Lounge can avoid wasting bandwidth (both for itself
and for the image's host) if the value of the header exceeds the
prefetch size limit by aborting the request immediately.
Also draft some kind of plugin system for auth, although it essentially consists in writing a function
and there is no mechanism to automatically fallback from one auth to another
This option is less and less the norm on modern webapps, it is fair to assume this is the default behavior. In fact, we were making it the default.
But more importantly, coming soon is the ability of remotely logging out of your other sessions, which is well handled through token deletion. That means we need to know about said tokens, which are not sent in no-"Stay signed in" version.
