This commit upgrades dependencies that are more or less trivial to update, e.g. because they didn't have major version bumps or simply didn't break anything. There are some dependencies which have not been upgraded since this would have required larger refactorings. This includes especially the markdown-it ecosystem and the webpack ecosystem. The largest refactorings in this commit come from the bump of socket.io v2 to v4 which changed the handling of the connected socket list for instance. This commit further removes some outdated and/or unnecessary dependencies. This includes the String.js library which is unmaintained for 9 years and has some CVEs. We mainly used this library for their escapeHTML and unescapeHTML methods. This can be done using native DOM APIs nowadays, which is also considered more safe since it is the same logic that the browser itself uses. Since we target Node 18 and above, we can also rely on the built-in fetch function instead of the node-fetch package. The current version of Chance.js includes a method for generating a random color now too, so we don't need the package randomcolor anymore. Signed-off-by: Erik Michelson <github@erik.michelson.eu>
HedgeDoc
HedgeDoc lets you create real-time collaborative markdown notes. You can test-drive it by visiting our HedgeDoc demo server.
It is inspired by Hackpad, Etherpad and similar collaborative editors. This project originated with the team at HackMD and now forked into its own organisation. A longer writeup can be read in the history.
