The main README.md file has been also clean up and re-structure to split the CONTRIBUTING.md, HISTORY.md and KNOWN_ISSUES.md

And last, but not least, added a bug and feature request templates in order to ease that process.

Thanks to everybody involved!

General description

Main part of this release its been a big refactoring of the code, an increase of documentation in order to ease the development, adding snap and AppImage packages and implementing a right click menu with a basic spellchecker.

Detailed changes

There have been a few additions all listed next:

• Adding the snap and AppImage to the images been released (Thanks to @julian-alarcon)
• Adding eslint to enforce some linting to the code.
• Defaulting to open the link urls into external browsers as use to be before version 0.1.10. Adding the ability to open link urls in an internal browser to fix #23.
• Defaulting on not enabling the desktop notifications hack as is now working on all the version of Linux that I have tried.
• Adding a basic spellchecker implementation and a right click functionality by using electron-spell-check-provider and electron-editor-context-menu. This covers #28. Only US dictionary support at this moment for packaged version, Check the issue for more info
• Added the option to close the app when clicking the cross. Start teams with teams --closeAppOnCross . This is to cover #32.
• Improving documentation and refactoring the code to ease the development.
• Removing dependency on "open" package as we can use the electron "shell" to open external links instead. This should fix #31

A fairly long list so be aware or treating this release with care for a bit.

0.1.10

Changing the way links open to open in a popup (electron browser) by default.

This version is been superseded by version 0.1.11.

Adding the ability to open the links in an external window by pressing the ctrl key.

The reason for this change is that is more natural, or common practice, to use the ctrl+click to open links in another tab/window.

This release is to try to fix issue #23 but might also address #4

0.1.9

• Fixing issue #12 where you couldn't drag and drop images anymore.
• Persisting by default to the partition "persist:teams-4-linux".
• Fixing issue #13 by allowing to disable desktop notifications.
• Focus the app after clicking in the notification.
