Call for help:

  Plinth is steadily improving and getting into good shape.  We have a
  couple of first time contributors since the last release.  The pace of
  development has increased and so has the release frequency.  We are
  now headed for a 1.0 release of FreedomBox aimed at developers.  We
  could use a lot more help to get FreedomBox to where we all want it
  to be.  You can contribute to Plinth/FreedomBox by coding, designing,
  documenting, testing etc. See:
  https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/Contribute/

Changes since 0.4.1:

Bob Girard (1):
      Add test coverage measurement and reporting

James Valleroy (29):
      Check if tor is installed before running some commands.
      Handle errors with Tor HS configuration.
      Show info about installing Tor if it is not already installed.
      Show error messages from xmpp-setup and xmpp-register.     Avoid
causing plinth to show error page.
      Add action to check if ejabberd is installed.     If not
installed, show instructions on how to install it.
      Move ejabberd install info to template file.
      Convert xmpp-register action to python.
      Use invoke-rc.d to avoid service mask error. Fixes #9.
      Don't use dpkg-reconfigure to modify configuration files.     It
will fail if the files have been modified another way.
      Convert xmpp-hostname-change to python, merge into xmpp action file.
      Track which section of ejabberd config we are in, and only edit
the hosts section.     Check for jwchat config and ejabberd dumpfile
before trying to modify them.
      Signal xmpp module before and after hostname is changed.
      Store ejabberd backup in non-world-readable location.
      Only modify specified lines in ejabberd backup database when
changing hostname.
      Fix xmpp change-hostname options.
      Change hostname for some more fields that may appear in ejabberd
backup database.
      Make sure new hostname will show up immediately.
      Use regexes to relax matches when updating xmpp hostname.
      Fix some issues with replacing hostname in xmpp config.
      Don't delete the ejabberd backup database if it fails to load.
      Apply patch from Sunil to correctly set hostname in systemd
environment.
      Convert xmpp-pre-hostname-change to python, merge into xmpp action
file.
      Use mnesia-change-nodename to update ejabberd backup database.
 As Sunil suggested, rearrange commands so we can do this with only 1
ejabberd restart.
      Use correct node names for ejabberd.
      Remove unnecessary ejabberdctl call.
      Don't change ejabberd hosts or jwchat sitename when changing
hostname.     Update these only when the domain name is changed.
      Add a configuration field to change FQDN.
      Allow user to change domain name, then determine the FQDN from it.
      Use FQDN instead of hostname when registering an account.
