The install instructions relied on the default branch being "master" on Github.
This has no longer been the case for some time now.
Let's be explicit, and directly advise new users to put themselves on the stable
branch ("master").
This commit vastly shortens (and simplifies) the version table within
handler/APIHandler.js by building each version's entry incrementally based off
the previous version.
The resulting table has been validated by comparing the "before" and "after"
output of the following loop on both versions of the code (albeit with an
intermediate "sort" step to account for the different insertion order)
for (let v in version) {
let m = version[v];
for (let [k, a] of Object.entries(m)) {
console.log(v, k, a);
}
}
The patch also fixes a few typos, and removes a duplicate definition of
getChatHistory which in each applicable version was defined with two different
parameter lists, but where only the second would be used.
The .tex source was updated to fix some typos, but the corresponding pdf was not
regenerated.
Command used to generate the pdf:
pdflatex easysync-full-description.tex
The incorporated changes are:

Compatibility with IE11 regressed in 23eab79946 while working for #3488.
That commit made use of modern js syntax, not supported by IE11.
- Removed arrow functions, replaced with normal functions.
- Removed the spread operator (<...iterable>) and the "new Set()" construct,
replaced with _.uniq()
At some point IE11 compatibility will be dropped.
Ditching it now, for such a small gain, is not wise.
Fixes#3500.
This is just a dev dependency, so no real risks, but it's better not to scare
users.

Etherpad-lite relies on the user's browser to generate a random pad
name, but the current solution is not safe against collisions. In order
to generate unique pad names, the following modifications are made:
* use a PRNG instead of Math.random() and ensure uniform distribution
when selecting chars.
* choose the pad name length to achieve a specific number of bits of
security.
Closes: #3516
colibris: preparatory changes
This series consists of the preparatory changes done by @seballot on the Etherpad core code in order to prepare it for the introduction of the colibris skin (proposed in #3441).
They were extracted from #3496, isolating the modifications performed outside of skins/colibris.
The expected effects on Etherpad (and its default skin) should be none: any major deviation from the original behavior is to be considered a bug.
A followup series will merge the colibris skin itself.
a) these rules:
[class^="icon-"]:before
[class*=" icon-"]:before
b) were the same as this one:
[data-icon]:before
except the rules in b) had a "content: attr(data-icon)" rule, too.
This commit groups all of them together, and gets rid of the "attr(data-icon)".
The commit that introduced these rules in the first place, and that are now
partially reverted, was 9aea689438 (move tiny bit
of font awesome we actually use into pad.css) from 2014-11-19.
Preparatory work for introducing colibris skin
The documentation was written on 2011-08-03:
31067f163f: added a documentation for the database structure
The implementation using sha512 instead of bcrypt was committed two days later,
on 2011-08-10:
ce1012438e: added setPublicStatus, getPublicStatus, setPassword and isPasswordProtected
