mdeck 3.17.0

Host your slides on your own server

mdeck publish talk.md puts the deck on your mdeck server and prints its link, https://your.host/d/talk: the reader view in one file, without speaker notes. A name that is taken is refused until --replace says to overwrite it, and mdeck publish --name talk --remove takes the deck down. Hosting is optional: a server accepts decks only when started with mdeck server --decks <folder>, and publishing needs its MDECK_SERVER_KEY. Opening a deck needs only the link, and nothing lists the decks, so a name that is hard to guess is a private link.

A better server

mdeck server has a page at / with its version, the server: line for a deck and a status view of its rooms. mdeck server --check <address> tests a running server from outside, and the server warns about a key that is easy to guess.

Pinpoint areas, maths and fixes

<pinpoint answer="…"> takes rectangles and polygons, and several shapes at once. Inline maths next to other characters, such as $x$-Achse, shows again (#34), and mdeck check finds maths that would not show. A paired iPad now gets a pinpoint's picture and a theme installed for every deck.

Update your poll server too: a standalone server from before this release does not show the phones the new pinpoint shapes.

Update with npm install -g mdeck. Every change in detail in CHANGELOG.md.
