Apostrophe 2.53.0 released: better dev performance, middleware fine-tuning, more fixes

Official Announcements
#1
  • Do not send X-XSRF-TOKEN headers in an OPTIONS request. This change was mistakenly left out of the 2.52.0 release.
  • The named anchor main can now be overridden via the mainAnchor nunjucks block.
  • The npmRootDir option can be used to cause Apostrophe’s module loading mechanism to seek npm modules in a location other than that specified by rootDir (or the project root). The new localesDir option of apostrophe-i18n does the same for localization. This makes it possible to use rootDir to specify an alternate location for everything else, i.e. the parent of public, data, lib/modules, etc. A necessary accommodation for the evolving apostrophe-multisite module.
  • Raw HTML widgets now offer help text out of the box.
  • The express.static middleware now runs before the apostrophe-global middleware and other “standard” Apostrophe middleware.
  • Your own module-level expressMiddleware object can specify { when: 'beforeRequired', middleware: function(req, res, next) { ... }) to run before the required middleware as well. Note that this means no sessions, no users and no body parser. Most of the time you’ll want those things.
  • CSS adjustment to tabs in modals so they don’t scroll in Firefox.
  • Dropzones for empty areas are easier to drop onto.
