Starting with Etherpad 1.8.3 we decided to use Colibris as default skin for new
installs. Without this change, when starting with no settings.json file,
Etherpad would (wrongly) use "no-skin".
This change should have been part of 70bc71c0c3.
Useful for developers, or users that know what they are doing. If you just
upgraded Etherpad version, installed a new dependency, or are simply unsure of
what to do, then before running this script, please execute bin/installDeps.sh
once.
Fixes#3711 (partially)
With commit 44186ed (tests: remove loadSettings.js for backend tests.)
the loading of the settings in backendtests changed. One test spec
was not updated.
This is a departure from previous versions, which did not limit import/export
requests. Now such requests are ALWAYS rate limited. The default is 10 requests
per IP each 90 seconds, and also applies to old instances upgraded to 1.8.3.
Administrators can tune the parameters via settings.importExportRateLimiting.
Importing to a pad is allowed only if an author has a session estabilished and
has already contributed to that specific pad. This means that as long as the
user is on the pad (via the browser) then import is possible.
Note that an author session is NOT the same as a group session, which is not
required.
This setting does not apply to API requests, only to /p/$PAD$/import
This change of behaviour is introduced in Etherpad 1.8.3, and cannot be
disabled.
From Etherpad 1.8.3 onwards, the maximum allowed size for a single imported
file will always be bounded.
The maximum allowed size can be configured via importMaxFileSize.
The old loadSettings.js was a way of customizing settings upon load, because
the Settings module did not offer this functionality. But it did not work well,
since all the default settings were not loaded.
Let's get rid of loadSettings.js for the bulk of the tests (the "backend"
specs). For the "container" specs, we'll keep it in place until/if we rewrite
Settings.js making it less brittle.
Fixing this will be useful when we'll want to get rid of require-kernel.
This was introduced by f1fcd16894 ("Add settings to scroll on edition out of
viewport") in 2018-01-03.
Sometimes, RFC 6265-compliant [0] web servers may send back a cookie whose value
is enclosed in double quotes, such as:
Set-Cookie: sessionCookie="s.37cf5299fbf981e14121fba3a588c02b,s.2b21517bf50729d8130ab85736a11346"; Version=1; Path=/; Domain=localhost; Discard
Where the double quotes at the start and the end of the header value are just
delimiters. This is perfectly legal: Etherpad parsing logic should cope with
that, and remove the quotes early in the request phase.
Somehow, this does not happen, and in such cases the actual value that
sessionCookie ends up having is:
sessionCookie = '"s.37cf5299fbf981e14121fba3a588c02b,s.2b21517bf50729d8130ab85736a11346"'
As quick measure, let's strip the double quotes (when present).
Note that here we are being minimal, limiting ourselves to just removing quotes
at the start and the end of the string.
Fixes#3819.
Also, see #3820.

This yields better conversion results, but requires the previous change,
otherwise there would have been difficulties in locating the temporary file
name.
In the next commit, we are going to change the conversion method to
"html:XHTML Writer File:UTF8". Without this change, that conversion method name
would end up in the extension of the temporary file that is created as an
intermediate step. In this way, the file extensione will always stay ".html".
No functional changes, hopefully. Only the extension of the temporary file
should change.
This change is meant to ease using LibreOffice as converter. When LibreOffice
converts a file, it adds some classes to the <title> tag.
This is a quick & dirty way of matching the <title> and comment it out
independently on the classes that are set on it.
Clearing the authorship colors of a document with at least two authors, and then
undoing that action caused a disconnect from the pad.
This change disallows undoing clearing authorship colors in order to prevent
the problem from affecting users, and adds the relative test coverage.
This is a change of behaviour, and is documented in the changelog.
Fixes#2802 (sidestepping it).
The previous syntax caused a deprecation warning on Node 10.
However, due to the very old version of log4js Etherpad is currently using,
customError objects are going to be displayed as { inspect: [Function: inspect] }.
This needs to be addressed later, updating log4js.
Fixes#3834.
