Things to maybe deprecate maybe and why.

• debug mode
  • Added mock driver and additional logging
  • Already in the process of being removed as it is more of a dev config item
  • Replaced by
    • log level "debug" will log more info than you probably want
    • sqlite driver means using local embedded db for development and testing (no need for mock driver)
• HTTPS via Node.js (certPath, keyPath, certPassphrase, httpsPort)
  • Added to run SQLPad under https without front-end proxy
  • Why deprecate?
    • Node.js doesn't handle cpu intensive tasks well
    • Fronting node with nginx or other is recommended
• Base url (baseUrl/SQLPAD_BASE_URL)
  • Added to "mount" sqlpad under a certain url base (like somedomain.com/sqlpad instead of using subdomain like sqlpad.somedomain.com
  • Why deprecate?
    • Current creative workarounds in place to make this a config-level change as opposed to a build-step change
    • front-end code splitting does not work as module loading calls are incorrect
    • Removing this simplifies the build step and related code
• tableChartLinksRequireAuth
  • Allowed accessing table/chart only pages without authentication if disabled
  • Why deprecate?
    • Implementing this exposes certain APIs to be widely open, for all queries.
    • It will be easier to maintain routes securely when removed
    • A special sharing link can be implemented in place if necessary (unsure how many are using this feature)
