Multicast Versions Save

This release contains a handful of bugfixes. Thanks to @Jyrno42 and @yuzawa-san for their contributions :fire:

NOTE: You may have noticed that there is no 2.1.3 on npm - that release contained some unrelated build artifacts that bloated the bundle size so I removed it in favor of 2.1.4.

Cast away! :green_heart:

This patch fixes a handful of security vulnerabilities.

• upgrade gulp to 4.0.0
• upgrade gulp-clean-css to 3.10.0
• upgrade gulp-uglify-es to 1.0.4
• upgrade prettier to 1.15.2
• upgrade mongoose to 5.3.11

I've also added a Security Disclosure section to the README about one final remaining vulnerability. Progress toward patching that vulnerability can be found here.

It's been a while without active development, but don't worry, there are some really cool things in the works. Head on over to multicast-web or check out the next branch for more info or to get involved with development.

:tada: Cheers!

This patch adds a required dependency for running Multicast on CentOS systems. Moving forward, make sure nss_mdns is installed on your system. You can do so like so:

sudo yum install nss_mdns

This should close #23.

Thanks to @andrewpryor for suggesting this fix.

This patch fixes a small syntax error in the app's configuration (#39).

This release adds channel rotation (in every sense of the word) - showing multiple URLs on a schedule, and displaying channels at 90/180/270 degrees of rotation.

This should close the following issues:

• screen rotation (#8)

This will permanently merge the rotation branch with master.

• merge rotation with master

This should close the following issues:

• toString error when assigning newly-created channels to a device (#26)
• add error page when Chromecast fails to load hub app or loses connection (#19)
• display error message when iframe cannot load due to X-Frame-Options header (#1)

Multicast is now available for installation in a streamlined format via NPM. You can view more information here.

From now on, installation via Github should only be used for development. If you don't plan on contributing or tweaking, you should install as follows (assumes you have npm installed):

npm i multicast -g
multicast config
multicast start

With the exception of rotating channel URLs, this release should function nearly identically to groupon/greenscreen.

NOTE: node_mdns is still broken for Node 8.6 as of this release. Make sure to check the readme for instructions on patching this.
