Description

#465 shows that lots of dependencies are outdated. They should be kept fairly up-to-date with their latest versions as for libraries they often fix bugs and/or security issues.

Right now, the culprits are:

dependencies

  • [ ] cheerio
  • [ ] lodash
  • [ ] moment
  • slate-irc
  • [ ] socket.io

devDependencies

  • [ ] grunt-contrib-uglify
  • [ ] handlebars
  • [ ] mocha
