Codebuddies Versions Save

Thanks to @elimisteve, @akosasante, @stain88, @distalx, and @lpatmo for contributing to this release!

Fixes in this release:

• Heroically added missing period in README.md https://github.com/codebuddiesdotorg/codebuddies/pull/527 (@elimisteve)

• Fix CSS issue with status buttons when screen is at a certain width https://github.com/codebuddiesdotorg/codebuddies/pull/528 (@akosasante)

• Second fix: tabs were getting squished. Thanks to @stain88 for pointing out. https://github.com/codebuddiesdotorg/codebuddies/pull/529 (@akosasante)

• Update user role schema https://github.com/codebuddiesdotorg/codebuddies/pull/530 (@distalx)

• Publications fix for non-logged-in users as a result of PR 530 (users were not seeing hangout posts) https://github.com/codebuddiesdotorg/codebuddies/pull/534 (@distalx)

• Show users on a hangout page (and who are not logged in) an "RSVP" button instead of a "Click to join" button, which does not work if they click on it. https://github.com/codebuddiesdotorg/codebuddies/pull/533 (@lpatmo)

• Remove deprecated Kadira package and related settings https://github.com/codebuddiesdotorg/codebuddies/pull/535 (@distalx)

Three improvements in this release!

1. @distalx coded a new deployment process:

• PRs are merged into the staging branch
• That code is automatically deployed to our staging site at staging.codebuddies.org
• To deploy to the production site at codebuddies.org, create a new PR for master -> staging. A few more relevant notes: http://codenotes.tumblr.com/post/161121777812/digitalocean-deployment-notes-to-remember

2. Better support for dynamic meta data: Implemented by @distalx in https://github.com/codebuddiesdotorg/codebuddies/pull/521.

Sharing post links on Facebook or Twitter will now output more relevant info. about the hangout itself, instead of displaying a generic title and description.

3. Jitsi link on hangout posts -- Implemented by @lpatmo in https://github.com/codebuddiesdotorg/codebuddies/pull/523

Jitsi will sometimes blank out (show a grey box) if a user's wifi connection is not strong; hangout posts now show a link that will take the user to an external meet.jit.si tab.

• @distalx - Created a staging branch and put together the processes that deploys it to a new DigitalOcean repo pointing to staging.codebuddies.org. When this is final, we'll change the documentation referencing our staging site as codebuddies.herokuapp.com.
