to 2.6.12 and 3.4.8 respectively, as they are the versions available
in Debian. fix an exposed issue where the status handler attempted
to manipulate the DOM before vue had rendered it - such manipulations
need to be deferred with $nextTick().
using a glob expression, the same way jobs can specify
contexts. This allows more flexibility in situations where
there are many jobs sharing limited contexts because it
may obviate the need to create a conf file for each job.

too esoteric for the front page, converting it to an example
of querying laminar db directly and using gnuplot should provide
more value to those needing deeper insights into job behaviour.
This allows build chains to be traced in the common case where
an upstream job calls `laminarc queue' instead of `laminarc start'.
Incomplete job runs now have database entries, which requires
some adjustments in queries. Queued jobs can now be viewed in
the frontend and there is a corresponding status icon.
Similarly to 210787a3, and as discussed in #88 and #130, nginx
will buffer chunked transfer-encoding unless proxy_buffering
is turned off or the X-Accel-Buffering header is set to no.
resolves#130
some jobs may spawn child processes which change their process group
or session id, making the existing abort behavior of HUP-then-KILL to
the process group ineffective. Instead, if HUP to the process group
fails, recursively walk /proc and KILL anything with a ppid corresponding
to the leader process. This should keep working because the leader
process is a subreaper.
resolves#129
only add the private ANSI sequence to the output of laminarc
start/run commands used for adding a hyperlink to the frontend if
we are within a job execution (tested with __LAMINAR_SETENV_PIPE).
this makes parsing the output easier, which is likely to be more
common when laminarc is invoked externally
add -h|--help usage messages to laminarc and laminard
add a mechanism to compile in a version number, and display the
version in the help messages and in the frontend.
resolves#119
WebUI rewritten in a more modern style, bootstrap is dropped in favour of
plain css/grid. Hand-crafted svgs replace utf-8 glyphs for a more uniform
look and smoother animation. webmanifest added for better mobile behaviour.
No doubt minor tweaks will follow...

CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX is supposed to be used to set an install prefix
of e.g. /usr or /usr/local. Because we need to install files to /etc,
we had been requiring CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/ and installing using
relative paths.
The best practice method is to install to /etc using absolute paths,
and then allow CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to set where the final binaries
actually go. Now that it actually has some meaning, the systemd
service is generated to incorporate that path.
Those wishing to use "make install" to install laminar to a subdir
should use "make DESTDIR=path/to/subdir install" and NOT modify
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.
Documentation and packaging scripts updated accordingly.
navigating to a non-existent job in the frontend caused a
mutating change to the buildNums map, and returing the latestNum
field caused the frontend to repeatedly try to fetch the latest
run, which could overload the backend
C++17 has some nice new features, but Debian Stretch doesn't
support a compiler which can use it. Stretch is oldstable for a
while now anyway, so just deprecate support.
Chrome auto-reconnects when an EventSource connection is interrupted
but Firefox doesn't. Enforce consistent behaviour by implementing
reconnect logic.
laminard is a daemon process and does not read from stdin. Usually
we can rely on the process mananger to do this for us, but if not
(e.g. laminard is run interactively), we need this so that child
processes (job runs) will not be able to block on stdin.
resolves#125
the one-liner used to iterate on the results of the RPC
calls for show-jobs, show-queued and show-running meant
that the result collection was destroyed before we
finished with it. Hoist it out of the loop.
resolves#127
User may provide a custom index.html template file to be used instead
of the built-in version. Changes to this file are watched by laminard
using inotify in order to load and compress the custom file for gzip
delivery, reusing the existing method for serving static assets.
This feature obviates the custom css feature, so remove references from
the manual and add a deprecation warning if it is used.
Add a section to the UserManual describing how to use this feature and
including a link to an example using Semantic UI.
Implement a separate process, the "leader", which runs all the
scripts for a job run, instead of directly from the main laminard
process. This makes for a cleaner process tree view, where the
owning job for a given script is clear; also the leader process
acts as a subreaper to clean up any wayward descendent processes.
Resolves#78.
