Goals

We’ve been making use of some hidden features for a while, to make sure that they were safe to deploy. This release, we worked on making contextual chat and shared folders available to everyone.

Update notes

• run bower update to download an updated version of marked.js

Features

• Our kanban application now features a much more consistent and flexible colorpicker, thanks to @MTRNord (https://github.com/MTRNord)
• File upload dialogs now allow you to upload multiple files at once
• Updated German translations thanks to b3yond
• An explicit pad storage policy to better suit different privacy constraints
  • import local pads at login time is no longer default
• An embedded chat room in every pad, so you can work alongside your fellow editors more easily
• Promotion of our crowdfunding campaign, including a button on the home page, and a one-time dialog for users

Bug fixes

• Updating our markdown library resolved an issue which incorrectly rendered links containing parentheses.
• We discovered an issue logging in with very old credentials which were initialized without a public key. We now regenerate your keyring if you do not have public keys stored in association with your account.
• We found another bug in our login process; under certain conditions the terminating function could be called more than once.
