The stable branch has now
been updated with major bugfixes:
Server didn't like my code regarding "unread" count
* Date: Mon Aug 22 14:57:12 2016 +0200
The "unread" count for the dialogs are now calculated on server side, instead
of in the browser. This is a far better solution than what was introduced in
[be445819cf01d22095b63e8a6dc10f3999c03d54](https://github.com/convos-chat/convos/commit/be445819cf01d22095b63e8a6dc10f3999c03d54).
The problem with the previous solution was even worse than what I expected:
Seems like fetching participants and messages for a bunch of dialogs results
in either the server or browser to drop some of the requests. I could be
fooling myself, but that's what it looks like from browser dev console.
So now instead, the code does one `/api/user` request which retrieves the
connections, notifications and dialogs _with_ the unread count. Later the
javascript lazy loads the messages from the backend when a dialog goes from
"inactive" to "active" state and also handles websocket reconnects.
## Participants where all over place

This was a pretty dumb bug, which would probably been avoided if there was any
unit tests for the vuejs/javascript code: There was two attributes tracking
the participants, but only one of them was actually in use when doing
autocomplete in the input field.
Which reminds me: Would very much appreciate
[help](http://localhost:4000/doc/#getintouch), regarding choosing a test
framework for the vuejs code.
## Send button to /dev/null

The "send button" next to the input field simply didn't work. This is fixed
now.
