Well, because of some small bugs introduced in the previous release, these had to be rectified in this one.

You've been playing it for some time already, but got only around to the release notes now.

Release Notes

Fixed #89. Logged in as "null". (Remove localStorage, replace with cookies. Forgot to do this in one place.)
Fixed #90. "You are not logged in as undefined". But this resolves itself appropriately. Related to the bug above.
add beta release support. Could still use some improvement, working on it.
fix logging out in karchanpersonal and karchanadmin. Now logs you out and back to the main page.
fix for some passwords (Victorias for example) -> it happened when the hash was preceded by one or more zeros in mysql, but my code was without 0-padding.
Fixed #88. Blue bar for mobile users. Added [play] in both karchan website and the karchanapp for small screens.
play was unclickable on small screens, as the toast was invisible but still in the way. Toast now only rendered/added if there's new mail.
fixed some imports on MenuFactory.

Note: If you log out, but you haven't stopped playing (by pressing the big Quit button), you remain on the who list and people can see you. At least, until you idle out.

Well, I finally gotten around to releasing a new version. I'm quite pleased with what I came up with, let me know if anything is amiss.

Also, it would be nice if you guys test all the stuff, in weird ways, to see if there's no breakage.

For those who do not wish to read the entire release notes below, here's the highlights:

wikipages: wikipages can be edited again by all players
pictures: pictures can be uploaded by all players
authentication and authorization: this is now done using JSON Web Tokens
darkmode: it's now possible for people with sensitive eyes to set the website to darkmode, to prevent glare at night.

Release Notes

~~[This here is a placeholder for me to put the release notes, but as I have a cold and am rather tired, I will amend this blog at a later date.]~~

added links to the menu when you are logged on, under "Personal".
added a Toast, showing you have new mudmail.
upgraded to the latest libraries
added logging to the templates, blogs, pictures and wikipages, so we can track when someone has changed something.
Systemlog table has been dropped. Is no longer useful.
added caching header to the images
made it possible for players to upload pictures
made it possible for players to edit wikipages
wikipages now show their childrens pages, if they have these. This can be turned off.
wikipage edits can be previewed
recently edited wikipages visible on the main wikipage
deputies can create special administration wikipages only visible to deputies
Fixed #79. added darkmode
replaced localStorage with cookies
removed old html files and an AngularJS app
added the microprofile api to the dependency so we can use the ConfigProperty annotation
made the Karchan icon in the karchanpersonal and karchanadmin clickable. It redirects to the Karchan main page.
started using JSON Web Tokens for user authentication and authorization
facilitate deep linking by redirecting sub-urls to the main index.html and letting Angular deal with it.

For example: http://www.karchan.org/karchanpersonal-2.0.2/mail will immediately show your mail.
made layout of our two apps karchanpersonal and karchanadmin same as the website itself
Fixes #84 and fixes #82. Turns out I had to remove the @Notnull from the auto-ident pk I added.
