NodeBB v1.4.0 Release

[psychobunny]

It's been four months since we last posted about NodeBB v1.1.0. Since then we've released three new minor versions (we're too busy coding to blog apparently!). Here's a summary about what's new with our forum software.

• New chat interface: support for multiple users in a chat room and the ability to rename chats (screenshot)
• Bottom sheets for mobile (screenshot)
• "Replies to this post"
• Improved composer layout on mobile
• Zen Mode: compose messages in a distraction-free fullscreen mode
• New privileges: Ability to restrict file and image uploads on a per-category basis (screenshot)
• Simpler and more flexible register/login page designs
• Optional ability to configure timestamp "timeago" cutoffs - instead of "two months ago", you can opt to see the full date instead

Congrats on the new release.

I think the biggest changes are the new chat interface, replies to this post, and the zen mode for the composer.

@psychobunny does this release suppport nodejs v7? I can not opdate the to firefox -50 because it need libicui18n.so.58 which nodejs v6 does not support.

Nodebb 1.3.0 fail with this error on nodejsv7: (node:5018) DeprecationWarning: Calling an asynchronous function without callback is deprecated.

@evoixmr it seems not to. At least I cannot make a new clean install with nodejs 7 work.

[JaredBusch]

My personal install for my D&D campaign just updated to 1.4.0 no problem.

[MJ]

Firefox has some issues, the scrollbar doesn't come in the composer. Scrolling down while typing comments is not possible, the background scrolls only.

@MJ upgrade composer to v4.3.1 this was fixed last night

Wow, amazing! Open forum to checkout topics before updating v1.2.1 to 1.3.0, and already 1.4.0 released.
Great!

[Leonardo Galani]

[PitaJ]

@azeus Yeah I think it should

[evoixmr]

Congratulations on this new release. I think you guys are doing a great job.

It is really nice seeing how the frequency of stable realeases is increasing, with new functionalities and that the feeling of strenght and stability of the project is growing with each release.

[Jenkler]

Can anyone confirm that custom pages plugin is working on 1.4.0? Stuck on 1.2.x and waiting to upgrade.

[evoixmr]

@Jenkler Custom pages works fine on this release.
