Solid Server 4.0

node solid server version 4.0.0 has now been released

https://github.com/solid/node-solid-server

Instructions for installing are in the readme [1]

This marks a major release with lots of new features, but I just wanted to
highlight a few

It's now possible to authenticate both with your private key (Via
WebID-TLS) but also using a server that you trust with a password, using
WebID-OIDC [2]

Another feature is that it also includes (via shim [3]) a data browser /
editor which allows you to see a user interface view of data files,
interact, edit and change that data, and see the updates in realtime.  The
system is designed so that you can have your preferred user interface on
any class of data.

And finally the system now takes you through a sign up process, and gives
you a dashboard where you can access common folders and a few apps.

Feel free to install this server, or give the test instance a try here:

Thanks to everyone that made this possible!
