Dear community,

The new 2.1.0 version of the intelmq manager improves the error
reporting in the frontend and allows to connect collectors to experts
and experts to parsers.

Thanks to Edvard for his work on this tool!

Installation instructions:
https://github.com/certtools/intelmq-manager/blob/2.0.0/docs/INSTALL.md

Full changelog:

### Backend
- Fix mispelling of the environmental variable
`INTELMQ_MANGER_CONTROLER_CMD` to `INTELMQ_MANGER_CONTROLLER_CMD` (you
might be required to add the double 'l' to your nginx/apache server
configuration)
- When displaying a command to be replicated by debugging user, the
string "sudo -u {webserver user}" string is prepended so that linux user
do not have to bother with sudoing himself on the commonly used user
"www-data" – which often can't be sudoed to (no bash provided due to
good security measures). (Used in monitor and error reporting.)

### Frontend
- Error reporting
  - Click will enlarge the dialog that contains much more useful info,
notably the very command that failed so that it can be easily reproduced.
  - Error messages are shuffled only when minimized, not when maximized.
That would disturb the user trying to read the details.
  - Invalid Syntax Error message removed. Till now, all error messages
generated the string that JSON received is invalid – that wasn't needed,
we knew it's invalid because it contained string message.
  - Double click does not close log window anymore since it would
interfere with the user trying to select whole text by mouse.
  - Escape minimizes the reporting.
  - For common seen errors, a tip is displayed (preferable with a link
to the Github manual).
 
### Pages
 
#### Configuration
 - Node group Collector now may connect to Expert and Expert can connect
to Parser, however you receive a warning that it is not very common.
