Docement the adaptations I've made to the publishing procedure which
uses a less dangerous publish command and removes the dist folders
before publishing to avoid accidental upload of stale build files.
Add suffixes like Ms and Ns to variables whos time unit is not in
seconds. This is aligning with a new code style of putting units
on variables that are not in SI base units.
Turn on source map deduction in stack traces from thrown errors. This
feature is off by default due to potential performance degration in
certain corner cases. For the dev environment add instructions for
passing the option to node.
Move all functions and classes currently available through lib/name and
libName to be under a single flat namespace in lib. This make
reorganising the lib namespace much simpler as the location of symbols
can move without breaking the consumers of lib.
The multi-entrypoint design was already problematic for the web plugin
system which couldn't effectively use it due to how webpack's shared
module system is awkward to set up with multiple entrypoints per package.
The LTS releases for v12 and v14 are already end of life and the v16 is
end of life in under two months from now on. Bump supported version up
to v18 as it does not make sense to continue to support EOL releases.
Even if we wanted to keep supporting them, our dependencies will not.
Note that Node.js v18 is currently not avaliable via the NodeSource PPA
on Ubuntu 19.10 and below or Debian 9 and below.
The role of a slave as a host for Factorio servers is not well reflected
in its name and has caused confusion among users. Rename slave to host
to better reflect its role as a host of Factorio servers.
The role of the master server as the party controlling every part of the
cluster is not well reflected in its name and has caused confusion among
users on several occasions. Rename master to controller to better
reflects its role.
The prepare script runs before publishing a package, after installation
of a package from source, and when running npm install without
arguments in the repository. These are the times where a build of the
web interface files are required to make the web interface work and
removes a manual step from using the package(s). The "build" script on
the other hand is never automatically invoked by npm.
Save disk space, time and sanity by replacing npm and lerna with pnpm.
This is more performant and doesn't have developer experience ruining
bugs like npm link removing all previous links before creating the
requested one.
Travis seems to be going away from supporting Open Source Software for
free and their proceedure to gaining free tokens is getting harder and
hander to find for each year that passes. Remove Travis CI integration
and migrate the coverage reporting previously provided by the Travis
build over to the GitHub Actions.
Convert code indents to tabs to be consistent with the rest of the
JavaScript code. This commits covers all of the lua code, some of the
hand written JSON code and the lone HTML and CSS files that were not
using tabs.
Simplify the the way markdown files are formatted to make them easier to
author without editors that do auto line breaking, and make the diffs
from them simpler to read.
Use lib* prefix for the modules impored from the lib package to help
distinguish them more from ordinary variables. Fix up the naming
convention for files to be consistently lowercase_underscore for
JavaScript files.
Split up codebase into the packages @clsterio/lib, @clusterio/master,
@clusterio/slave, and @clusterio/ctl using lerna to manage them. This
will allow deployment to use only the parts needed reducing install
size, and better separate the code into shared library, master, slave
and control.
Add section to contributing guidelines detailing that single quoted
strings should not be used. The use of it has only resulted in the
addition of more inconsistency to the codebase.
