Not sure how to test them as part of Grunt `unit-tests` task as `test/index.html` doesn’t
allow for inclusion of CommonJS modules that use `require`. The tests are silently
skipped.

Add badge with unread count to the tray icon - thanks @m-pilia (#1934)

`--use-tray-icon` and `--start-in-tray` command-line arguments
Dev:
- Additional logging for sort of conversation list (#1969)
- Dependency updates, fixes required for successful release
(#1966 and #1976)
- Log more info along with http errors (#1968)
Note: 1.2.0-beta.1 was never released - changes here:
https://github.com/WhisperSystems/Signal-Desktop/releases/tag/v1.2.0-beta.1
* A number of fixes required for successful build after upgrades
- extract now takes an absolute directory only
- something changed, so we now need to force NODE_ENV=production; we use
electron-is-dev for this
- electron-builder, electron-publisher-s3, and electron-updater are now
updated to their latest available versions
* Add direct dependency on extract-zip, since we use it directly
* Load 'config' module after we've modified NODE_ENV
* Downgrade electron-builder due to bug, downgrade icon-maker too
The latest electron-builder came with a fix for one of our bugs as well
as a new bug that blocks builds on Windows: https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/issues/2462
There's no good reason to upgrade icon-maker. And a good reason to keep at the version on github: https://github.com/jaretburkett/electron-icon-maker/issues/7

Fix issue where clicking Windows notification breaks window out of
aero-snap location (#1918)

thanks @veggiedefender (#1867)
- Update a number of dependencies to the latest: builder, websocket,
spellcheck (#1920)
* Revamp issue and pull request templates, other docs tweaks

* Clean logs on startup; install server-side testing/linting
* Add eslint config, make all of app/ conform to its demands
* Add Node.js testing and linting to CI
* Lock project to Node.js 7.9.0, used by Electron 1.7.10

Node 7.9.0 doesn't like trailing commas, but Electron does
* Move electron to devDependency, tell eslint it's built-in

(#1863)
Fix issue where duplicate emoji were listed in the emoji panel (#1893)
The default button is now 'later', not 'restart' in the
'update available' dialog (#1894)
Dev:
- Add .deb specific dependencies - thanks @veggiedefender (#1858)
Some barebones debian-based systems (e.g. Docker containers) don't come with the libasound2 and libxss1 libraries, which electron-builder does not include by default.
We've simplified; HTTPS_PROXY or https_proxy is used for all requests.
We also require that only our self-signed certificates are used for
secure traffic. That rules out all SSL-terminating MITM proxies, since
we don't trust their root certificate.
Once we're sure that this system works for people, we'll improve config
on MacOS and Windows.
Reduce download size by ~125MB versus the previous beta build, about
~25MB over the previous production build (#1869)
Dev:
- Update to v1.0.41 equivalence
(5bc70c35e7)
- This update to match production includes update fixes for OSX.
Note: The transition v1.1.0-beta.3->v1.1.0-beta.4 will still have
upgrade difficulties. When v1.1.0-beta.4 updates to the next release
version, the behavior will be fixed.
Add proxy support based on environment variables (#1855)

systesm - thanks @cornerman (#1820)

Emoji:

- Add support for Emoji 5 - thanks @liliakai (#1797)
- Eliminate unused emoji images from production package (#1849)
Deployment:
- aptly.sh: support for current and previous ubuntu versions (#1856)
- deployment: update electron-publisher-s3 to match builder update
(17f0bb42bc)
Dev:
- Update development branch to include everything up to v1.0.40
(f013eed9d1
and 3ac29a4ba3)
- Update readme.md to use signal.org URLs - thanks @scienmind (#1814)
We pull proxy settings from environment variables:
- HTTPS_PROXY for sending, profile pulls, and attachment download/upload
- WSS_PROXY for connecting to the websocket for receiving messages
- ALL_PROXY to provide one server for both
More details on our proxy handling:
- https://github.com/Rob--W/proxy-from-env#environment-variables
- https://github.com/TooTallNate/node-proxy-agent
This is the natural way of things for Linux. My understanding is that
most proxies on MacOS are system-wide and transparent, so it's not so
urgent. But Windows will likely require further UI for configuration.
Will need to do some testing with Windows users.
* Emoji: Ensure that all clicks work by using emoji data directly
* Eliminate a number of unused emoji images from final build
* Re-add the generic sheets directory, which we partially filter
* Add support for Emoji 5
Update to latest emoji-datasource and emoji-js and switch to an up-to-date fork

@canerelci! (#1612)
Support new 833 area code with update to libphonenumber (#1598)

(#1606)

* Script for beta config; unique data dir, in-app env/type display
To release a beta build, increment the version and add -beta-N to the
end, then go through all the standard release activities.
The prepare-build npm script then updates key bits of the package.json
to ensure that the beta build can be installed alongside a production
build. This includes a new name ('Signal Beta') and a different location
for application data.
Note: Beta builds can be installed alongside production builds.
As part of this, a couple new bits of data are shown across the app:
- Environment (development or test, not shown if production)
- App Instance (disabled in production; used for multiple accounts)
These are shown in:
- The window title - both environment and app instance. You can tell
beta builds because the app name, preceding these data bits, is
different.
- The about window - both environment and app instance. You can tell
beta builds from the version number.
- The header added to the debug log - just environment. The version
number will tell us if it's a beta build, and app instance isn't
helpful.
* Turn on single-window mode in non-production modes
Because it's really frightening when you see 'unable to read from db'
errors in the console.
* aply.sh: More instructions for initial setup and testing
* Gruntfile: Get consistent with use of package.json datas
* Linux: manually update desktop keys, since macros not available
* Add emoji button and popup panel
This integrates a simple third party emoji panel with a few css overrides to
correct some relative paths and colors.
The trickiest thing about this is ensuring we don't break the layout, which is
acheived through precise control over the panel's height, and prodigious calls
to updateMessageFieldSize.

* Don't close emoji panel on click, do close on send
To better facilitate multiple emoji entry.

* Move paperclip button to the right of the microphone
This makes our bottom-bar button arrangement more comfortable and consistent
with Android.
