Improve debugabbility of JSON API
JSON API server uses standardized error handling based on
  std::error_condition for a few method, this improve debugabbility both
  from library size and from API client side
JSON API auth token are now more flexible, now the only proibition is using
  colon character ':' in user name
Implemented TO_JSON operation for std::error_condition
Avoid unkown serial job handling code duplication via fatalUnknownSerialJob
Usability improvement in t_RsLogger
Disable compilation of now unused is_alphanumeric

== Compilation

It is very difficult to keep a comprehensive (we support many platforms) and
updated documentation on how to build RetroShare, instead we provide scripts and
recipes that are used to create the packages for the supported platforms and
more in the `build_scripts` directory of this repository.

Those packaging receipts together with the continuous integration files
`.travis.yml` and `appveyor.yml` are a good source of knowledge on how to
compile RetroShare on different platforms.


== Using RetroShare on a headless computer with WebUI

WARNING: This section is outdated need to be adapted to new WebUI

The webUI needs to be enabled as a parameter option in retroshare-service:

[source,bash]
--------
./retroshare-nogui --webinterface 9090 --docroot /usr/share/retroshare/webui/
--------

The webUI is only accessible on localhost:9090. It is advised to keep it that way so that your RS
cannot be controlled using an untrusted connection.

To access your web UI from a distance, just open a SSH tunnel on it:

[source,bash]
--------
distant_machine:~/ >  ssh rs_host -L 9090:localhost:9090 -N
--------

"rs_host" is the machine running retroshare-nogui. Then on the distant machine, access your webUI on 


      http://localhost:9090

That also works with a retroshare GUI of course.
