Upgrade JS and Ruby Libraries

[justin808]

I'd like to get all the JS and Ruby libraries updated.

Anybody want to help?

[tmobaird]

@justin808 I can help out! Do you just want to update the gem/node module versions? or the ruby and node versions as well?

[justin808]

Let's update all. Thanks @tmobaird!

[tmobaird]

@justin808 did you want to jump to the most recent, stable versions for node (7.8.0) and ruby (2.4.1)?

YES!

Halfway done! #383!

[tmobaird]

Currently waiting on the next release of react-bootstrap that is compatible with react v >= 15.5.0.

[tmobaird]

Ok, It looks like react-bootstrap has finally updated everything for react v15.5. I will continue upgrading these dependencies tomorrow!

[justin808]

@tmobaird FABULOUS!

[tmobaird]

@justin808 sorry for the false alarm. It looks like react-bootstrap has a couple dependencies (react-overlays and uncontrollable) that have not been updated yet and are still using deprecated react syntax. Lets wait a couple more days on this

[justin808]

@tmobaird want to try again? BTW: https://medium.com/webpack/webpack-3-official-release-15fd2dd8f07b

Let's bump Webpack as well!

[tmobaird]

@justin808 definitely! I'll knock this out asap! 👍

[justin808]

@tmobaird Any progress?

[tmobaird]

@justin808 actually yes! Sorry this has taken so long, but react router v4 is fundamentally different from the earlier versions so it required some extra work to update the router code for both client and server side.

I should have a PR up by today or tomorrow with updates for a lot of the main JS dependencies.

@tmobaird, check out #443. We're also in the process of hiring right now, if you know anybody looking. Anybody interested can email me.
