  • v2.5.0 Changes

    October 17, 2017

    👀 For more details, see the full changelog and milestone.

    🚀 If you thought the v2.3.0 release was big, well, v2.5.0 is even bigger! 🎉

    If you are a client user, you will notice that The Lounge is now using your operating system's font, and that status messages (joins, parts, nick changes, etc.) are now condensed with each other.

    Condensed status messages

    After a while, you'll realize that the client now automatically reconnects when losing network connection (farewell, Client connection lost — Click here to reconnect!), and that the channel backlog now automatically loads when you scroll up. Unfortunately, that last bit forced us to phase out the /clear command for technical reasons.

    If you go to the Settings page, you'll notice that The Lounge now supports push notifications (yes, even on mobile, except iOS), and that you can remotely log out open sessions.

    Current and remote sessions

    As a server administrator, you might be interested in a few new additions:

    • Themes can now be retrieved from npm and installed using a new CLI command lounge install <theme-name>
    • 🔨 Integration with LDAP has been completely refactored
    • The Lounge can now be bound to Unix sockets

    ⚠️ Note that --home is now deprecated in favor of the $LOUNGE_HOME environment variable (or the .lounge_home file in the installation directory). Also, if you are running The Lounge behind a proxy (like nginx or Apache), you will need to make sure that reverseProxy is set to true and the X-Forwarded-For header correctly set for session listing to work correctly on the client.

    Enjoy! 💬
