Support new multidevice authentication

[tuhinpal]

It's changelog time after many months. So, there was no plan to add the MultiDevice Beta feature, but legacy authentication was removed by WhatsApp. Some people told me almost all WhatsApp bots are broken and require a persistence server, but I challenged that.

Technically speaking whatsapp-web.js pulls the whole state from Chrome to remember the device. That's good, but the only limitation is it needs a persistence server. So, I delete large unneeded files, make a zip of it, and encrypt the zip, so the file can be hosted from any website (like https://thetuhin.com/session.secure).

Changelog

• Supports MultiDevice feature
• Secure session token
• Don't require persistence state

What about security?

Well, it is safe, but still, maybe there is some vulnerability of the token encryption (like brute force, social engineering). So I highly recommend you to throw this stuff in a secure place (like https://thetuhin.com/freaking-hard-security/session.secure)

The new process

Well, it is kinda same. Just follow these steps:

• Run npm run gentoken, it will ask you for a password (SESSION_KEY). With docker docker run -p 8080:8080 -it jeeetpaul/whatsbot-session
• After authenticated you will see a new file session.secure has been created in the root directory.
• If you will use a persistence computer, then don't do anything. Just put the SESSION_KEY with the Chosen Password in env. Please don't put SESSION_URL in that case.
• Otherwise, upload session.secure to any server, like a public Github repo. Then grab the direct link of it. Put then link into SESSION_URL

Thank you 👍
