v2.0.0-pre.6 - 2016-08-10 [Pre-release]

See the full changelog

LDAP! That's all there is to be found in this pre-release, but it should please some administrators out there. Big thanks to @thisisdarshan and @lindskogen for sticking with us on this one.

This feature will remain in beta version until the official v2.0.0 release.

Added

v2.0.0-pre.5 - 2016-08-07 [Pre-release]

See the full changelog

What an exciting release! It's been in the works for more than a month, but the perks are worth the wait.

On the user side, some long-awaited new features can now be found: The Lounge can now track custom highlights, it comes with an auto-expanding text field, and an unread message marker helps keeping track of what happened when you were not watching. A lot of improvements and various bug fixes have been made to the UI. Note that scrollbar look-and-feel is now delegated to the browser and OS. Use the custom CSS editor and your OS settings to customize them.

Administrators will notice a different format for channels in the user configuration files, and the Docker-related files have been moved to a dedicated repository. Many bugs have been solved on the server as well.

v2.0.0-pre.4 - 2016-06-29 [Pre-release]

See the full changelog

This pre-release adds a loading window, helpful on slow connections. It also implements token persistency, ensuring users do not have to authenticate at every server restart. As a side effect, security is improved by forcing logging out users on all devices when changing their password.

All generated URLs are now HTTP by default, except when explicitly set to HTTPS. For example, www.example.com will link to http://www.example.com. One needs to share https://www.example.com to point others to a HTTPS location.

As a few users have been having issues when running The Lounge with a non-supported Node.js version, we now detect it early to avoid cryptic errors.

This pre-release also adds minor UI improvements, and fixes from the previous version. While The Lounge still needs a lot of efforts to be fully accessible, this version slightly improves accessibility on clickable nickname.

Internally, we now keep track of our code coverage, which we do not enforce strictly at the moment.

Changed

  • Perform node version check as soon as possible (#409 by @xPaw)
  • Prepend http protocol to www. links in chat (#410 by @xPaw)

  • Increase join delay at connection to 1000ms (#434 by @williamboman)

Removed

  • Remove navigator.standalone detection (#427 by @xPaw)

Fixed

  • Do not lose authentication token when the connection gets lost (#369 by @xPaw)
  • Fix crash in public mode (#413 by @maxpoulin64)

v2.0.0-pre.3 - 2016-06-15 [Pre-release]

See the full changelog

This release introduces a few internal changes as well as two noticeable ones. When using the CLI, the home path can now be set with the LOUNGE_HOME environment variable, to avoid repeating --home over and over. On the client, sorting channels will now be saved in the user configuration.

Added

v2.0.0-pre.1 - 2016-05-22 [Pre-release]

See the full changelog

Security

v1.5.0 - 2016-04-13

With this release, administrators can now define a maximum size for channel history. While this is not optimal nor the definitive solution, it aims at reducing stability issues where The Lounge would crash after filling up the server's memory.

Other changes noticeable by users include removing custom print styles and preventing sequences of white spaces to collapse into one.

Added

Changed

Removed
