* 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
