Agenda

• A new alpha release has been tagged (v1.0.0-alpha.10)

• General dependency housekeeping tasks have been done: update to latest versions, remove old unused deps, update package-lock, Snyk has been enabled as a GitHub actions workflow adapt-authoring to allow dependencies to be checked automatically. Snyk will currently fails on only 'high' severity issues.

• Grunt is now completely unsupported and causes a number of vulnerability issues in npm audit. This has therefore now been removed from the ui module and all build tasks have been rewritten in the UIModule instead. As build tasks aren't run directly, it probably makes sense to stay this way?

• The documentation module has been updated:

  • Can now specify custom sections on a per-module basis
  • Can now specify excludes at the root app level, to allow custom documentation sites (i.e. by only building the docs for your custom modules)

• Node.js have switched the current active LTS release from 14 to 16 on 18/10/21. AAT code needs to be tested with this LTS and any dependencies updated. It was agreed that the code should be updated to support ES Modules. See Update to node 16 #444.

• Migration script code has been pushed to GitHub (see repo here). Still only boilerplate code.
