- Update to 1.9.0
  + Improvements to login session management:
    o express_sid cookies and sessionstorage:* database records are no longer
      created unless requireAuthentication is true (or a plugin causes them to
      be created).
    o Login sessions now have a finite lifetime by default (10 days after
      leaving).
    o sessionstorage:* database records are automatically deleted when the login
      session expires (with some exceptions that will be fixed in the future).
    o Requests for static content (e.g., /robots.txt) and special pages (e.g.,
      the HTTP API, /stats) no longer create login session state.
  + The following settings from settings.json are now applied as expected (they
    were unintentionally ignored before):
    o padOptions.lang
    o padOptions.showChat
    o padOptions.userColor
    o padOptions.userName
  + HTTP API:
    o Fixed the return value of getText when called with a specific revision.
    o Fixed a potential attribute pool corruption bug with
      copyPadWithoutHistory.
    o Mappings created by createGroupIfNotExistsFor are now removed from the
      database when the group is deleted.
    o Fixed race conditions in the setText, appendText, and restoreRevision
      functions.
    o Added an optional authorId parameter to appendText,
      copyPadWithoutHistory, createGroupPad, createPad, restoreRevision,
      setHTML, and setText, and bumped the latest API version to 1.3.0.
  + Fixed a crash if the database is busy enough to cause a query timeout.
  + New /health endpoint for getting information about Etherpad's health (see
