Additionally, we support two new languages:

BREAKING

Breaking changes with all previous versions has been introduced:

• Renamed citizens db collection to users.
• Added the required JWT_SECRET config setting.

DB collection rename

There are two ways you can adress this:

NOTE: I'd suggest you back-up your db before doing anything; you can do this easily with mongodump. We're completely unresponsible for any data loss you may suffer.

1. Rename your collection (recommended):
2. Connect to your db with the mongo CLI
3. Rename the collection with db.citizens.renameCollection('users')
4. ???
5. Profit!

REMEMBER when doing this, to update your db.aliases config under your DemocracyOS/notifier deployment!

2. Add { collection: 'citizens' } to the models/user.js mongoose Schema.

JWT secret config setting

This one's easy: just add the required JWT_SECRET config setting as an environment variable or under secret in your config file). The value can be any string. We use MD5 hashes of funny phrases.
