Previously a discussion was classified on the front-end as "hidden" if it had zero posts. This was technically a correct statement as the discussion would not be visible to the public... but it also meant that a discussion with zero posts (like one awaiting approval) was impossible for the OP to delete/hide (i.e. indicate that they made a mistake and they don't want the discussion to be approved).
- Introduce the concept of "required permissions" - basically a permission dependency tree. In order for a group to be granted one permission, they must also have another.
- Improve redraw performance by not building dropdown menu contents until dropdown is opened
ref #904
- All custom JS variables are now preloaded into the `app.data` object, rather than directly on the `app` object. This means that admin settings are available in `app.data.settings` rather than `app.settings`, etc.
- Cleaner route handler generation
- Renamed ConfigureClientView to ConfigureWebApp, though the former still exists and is deprecated
- Partial fix for #881 (strips ?nojs=1 from URL if possible, so that refreshing will attempt to load JS version again)
This allows front-end translations to use basic (attributeless) HTML tags freely, without the need for the translator call to supply a matching vdom element. Translations can thus make use of styling (<em>, <code>, etc.) as they see fit. The translator call can still optionally supply a vdom element to substitute in more complex tags where necessary (e.g. hyperlinks).

Since Mithril doesn't really offer granular redraw control, typing in a text input on a modal would trigger a redraw for the whole page (including the page content behind the modal) on every keystroke. This commit allows components to be "paused" so that their vdom subtree will be retained instead of reconstructed on subsequent redraws. When a modal is opened, we pause the main page component, and when it's closed, we unpause it. This means that while a modal is visible, only the content inside of the modal will be redrawn, dramatically improving performance.
Turns out there's a little more to the regression in e5a7013. First, we need to give the spaces in between list items a key too. Second, there's a bug in the latest Mithril code where using string keys can break the diffing algorithm. I've patched it manually in our dist JS files for now, and reported the issue: https://github.com/lhorie/mithril.js/issues/934
- In Mithril, `finally` has been removed from promise objects as it is not part of the ES spec. See https://gist.github.com/jish/e9bcd75e391a2b21206b for info on the substitute.
- Fix a regression introduced in e5a7013 which broke some redraws
Fixes#667. This issue was due to the fact that Mithril would change the "Lock" badge into a "Sticky" badge, but the tooltip initialization would not be triggered because it was using the same element. By maintaining element identity, the "Lock" badge will remain untouched, and a new element for the "Sticky" badge will be inserted before it. See https://lhorie.github.io/mithril/mithril.html#dealing-with-focus for more information.
- Use cookies + CSRF token for API authentication in the default client. This mitigates potential XSS attacks by making the token unavailable to JavaScript. The Authorization header is still supported, but not used by default.
- Make sensitive/destructive actions (editing a user, permanently deleting anything, visiting the admin CP) require the user to re-enter their password if they haven't entered it in the last 30 minutes.
- Refactor and clean up the authentication middleware.
- Add an `onhide` hook to the Modal component. (+1 squashed commit)
