[SECURITY] event-stream incident

See original GitHub issue

There was a security issue with the npm package event-stream.

Original issue: https://github.com/dominictarr/event-stream/issues/116#issuecomment-441759047 Semantic issue: https://github.com/Semantic-Org/Semantic-UI/issues/6687

Please update event-stream to version 3.3.4:

By this time fixes are being deployed and npm has yanked the malicious version. Ensure that the developer(s) of the package you are using are aware of this post. If you are a developer update your event-stream dependency to event-stream@3.3.4. This protects people with cached versions of event-stream.

@Atulin We currently have plans to rewrite the build process when we do 3.0 but that is a whole other project. When we do this we will be getting rid of a lot of the dependencies.

That + removing the dependency on jQuery would be a dream come true. Glad there are steps being taken in that direction 👌
