After each Eterpad restart, the clients will request a new version of the
static assets, even if they are not modified. This is the price we pay for
knowing that no stale files are going to be served ever again. We could also
have used a salted hash of the Etherpad version, but we chose the simpler way.
For the rationale behind using a random string at each restart, see #3958.
ACHTUNG: this may prevent caching HTTP proxies to work.
Closes#3955.
For the first time in a VERY long time, we now have exactly 0 vulnerabilities
reported by npm audit.

This is an old bug: after an import there were always two iframes with
duplicated content, and the last one was simply on top of the old one.
This bug was there since forever, and became evident when the layout was
migrated to Flexbox.
Before this change, we simply generated an error.
For example:
- if the browser sent 'ru-RU', but Etherpad has 'ru' available, select 'ru';
- if the browser sent 'zh', but we have 'zh-hans' available, use 'zh-hans'.
Fixes#3882.
"token" is a random token representing the author, of the form
t.randomstring_of_lenght_20. The random string is generated by the client. The
cookie is used for every pad in the web UI, and is not used for HTTP API.
This comes from the discussion at https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite/issues/3563
In this way, if the browser sends a list of preferred languages via
Accept-Language HTTP header, Etherpad will honor that.
Before this change, Etherpad always forced on the user the language from
padOptions.lang in settings.json.
This reverts a feature that was introduced in 295672f598.
If Etherpad is hosted on Windows the frontend test URI needs to be
/tests/frontend/index.html (docs say .../frontend/), otherwise there is this
error: ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS.
Fixes#3804.
The server is fine with atext.text being an empty string, but the front end is
not, and crashes.
It is not clear if this is a problem in the server or in the client code, and
this is a client-side hack fix. The underlying problem needs to be
investigated.
