This will simplify actions for future development and maintenance
since we can automate much more (such as auto-running show[Ajax|Page])
and handle errors of various kinds. Essentially the same kind of
improvements as Managed_DataObject gives us.
notice.id will give us even really old posts, which were
recently imported. For example if a remote instance had
problems and just managed to post here. Another solution
would be to have a 'notice.imported' field.
OpportunisticQM moved from core to default plugins.
This makes it easier to disable, but remember that you must then
either enable and maintain queue daemons or disable queueing (and
handle whatever remaining queue items are stored in the database)!
Prevent spurious refusals of legitimate notices posted to users via Salmon.
Make the logic match the intent described in the comments.
The intent is clearly "accept notices whenever (A or B or C)", but
the logic implemented was more like "not ((not A) or (not B) or (not C))",
which is a basical boolean algebra fail (each of those ORs need to
become ANDs for double-negation to work).
The practical implication was that, for example, writing a reply
to someone else's notice and including an @-reference to _another_
user on another site to bring them into the discussion would
fail to deliver the notice to the new user because their server
would basically say `oh no, you can't message this user
from someone else's thread' because an earlier check for
the `A' or `C' parts of `(A or B or C)' prevents `B' from
being checked.
cf.: <http://status.hackerposse.com/notice/55846>, which was
refused by the nhcrossing.com server because it didn't know
about <http://sn.jonkman.ca/notice/93724>, even though it would
have passed the later `notice contains a reference to a local user'
check if not for an exception being prematurely thrown.
The whole idea of reporting `which specific check FAILED'
in an `if ANY SUCCEEDS' analysis is just bogus, so nix all of
the distinct ClientExceptions--a single `ALL FAILED' exception
is the only one that makes sense.
Make stopdaemons.sh work with on multi-instance servers. So: - Allow specifying a site on the command-line, just like startdaemons.sh. - If a site is specified, kill only its daemons--not all daemons with pid-files in the piddir.
We can't say we officially support PostgreSQL, unfortunately. There
are too many database calls with MySQL specific syntax. This would be
desirable for a 2.0 release, but too much work while maintaining 1.x.
The main difficulty is that we're using PEAR::DB which is aging. If
that's exchanged, maybe we could use PDO or something.
Also, tooltip text on time representation for humans has been improved.
Unfortunately no standardised representation (like "RFC850") had 4-digit years.
The File object now stores width and height of files that can
supply this kind of information. Formats which we can not read
natively in PHP do not currently benefit from this. However an
event hook will be introduced later.
The CreateFileImageThumbnail event is renamed to:
CreateFileImageThumbnailSource to clarify that the hooks should not
generate their own thumbnails but only the source image. Also it now
accepts File objects, not MediaFile objects.
The thumbnail generation is documented in the source code. For
developers, call 'getThumbnail' on a File object and hope for the best.
Default thumbnail sizes have increased to be more appealing.
The only reason it worked was because DB fetches calls to get$varname if
the dataobject has a variable with the specific name. However, it started
blurting out errors that the case must be correct (which would require
'geturl' to be the function name).
Since we probably want to replace DB sometime, we'll just override this
auto-fetching mechanism and use more explicitly defined functions.
Avoiding collisions with date (shorter than before) and 4 character
random alphanumeric string. I bet someone could mass-upload files
and generate all combinations of aaaa-zzzz during the course of a
day, but then maybe that user should be disabled anyway :)
(filling the collision space will cause a never-ending loop).
The exception thrown from MediaFile will be caught and simply result in
no thumbnail at all right now. In the future we might use a catch-all
and have a "cannot generate preview"-icon or something.
