- Switch away from GitHub releases API to a statically hosted custom
JSON message to include richer data.
- Instead of checking 24 hours post-boot, check 15 mins later post boot
and then every 24 hours.
- Add provision for messages to display on the admin dashboard to
communicate important / urgent announcements.
(Fingers crossed, this never has to be used!)
- Upgrade eslint and fix a massive number (~2500!) of linting errors from new rules.
- Upgrade babel core frontend dev dependency.
- Upgrade UI lib and other frontend deps.
- Refactor the Vue admin app to use `vite` instead of `webpack`.
- This was an extremely tedious and painstaking, trial-and-error
alchemy job. My disdain for the Javascript "ecosystem" grows.
- Re-add custom admin appearance endpoints to the refactored Vue page.
- Remove obsolete vue-cli config.
- Re-auto-format all .vue files again to work with new linters.
- antd+react was resulting in extremely clunky and unreadable
spaghetti frontend code (primarily due to how antd is).
- Buefy is lighter by an order of magnitude, has excellent
responsive views (especially tables) and usability.
- Vue's templating produces far more readable template code.
