BackstopJS Versions Save

Prior releases pinned backstop remote's config to <CWD>/backstop.js.

But now you can put this file anywhere with...

backstop remote --config=<path_to_your_config>

Default should fall back to <CWD>/backstop.js. If not -- please file a ticket.

This version builds on this pre-release (https://github.com/garris/BackstopJS/tree/v3.6.1) which includes...

• new backstop remote command -- which reads your config and spins up a BackstopJS server enabling you to remotely host diff reports and [secret roadmap item alert] remotely run backstopjs commands. IOW: BSAAS (backstop as a service 😉).

• added "Diverged" image diff library -- in stealth development here (don't tell anybody -- just between you and me)... https://github.com/garris/diverged -- so we can eventually have our diffs be more awesomer.

• Cleaned up MUCHO tech debt all throughout the app including better error handling, unit tests and adding docker/client version pinning. MANY MANY THANKS TO @gabegorelick FOR HIS HELP ON THIS!

• cleans up some tech debt where UI image scrubbing and backstop init command were originally implemented as hacks.
• Add the backstop remote command. Running backstop remote [--config=<path>] in a separate terminal launches a simple web server such that reports can be shared live with all your buddies. The backstop openReport command now checks for a server running on localhost and will automatically choose the web hosted version if found. Requires that bitmap_reference, bitmap_test, html_report are all accessible to your current working directory.
