New documentation for Leo's server is live on Leo's website

[Edward K. Ream]

This page contains the new documentation.

PR #4721 updates LeoDocs.leo with Félix's new words. As usual, I then used the gh-pages branch to update Leo's website.

The updated documentation looks good to me.

I did a quick test - and - at the moment the 'devel' branch is working only with the hard-coded password 'test'. - See attached logs !

Is this the expected & planned behavior for 'leoclient.py' in version 6.8.9 ?

With kind regards,

Viktor

Probably not :-) But Félix is the one who knows.

@Viktor

Yes the sample leoclient has the hardcoded password 'test' set up.

This program is just a proof of concept connection demo so far so I did not take the time to modify it to accept command line arguments (such as '--password' etc... )

No problem at all. - It just was not clear to me, how the documentation related to the status of 'leo-editor' repo for version 6.8.9 ...

With kind regards,
