If a new file is uploaded, it will be matched with a previously uploaded
file so we don't have to store duplicates. SHA256 is random enough and
also unlikely enough to cause collisions.
It's too farfetched to assume any text.com in a notice is an HTTP URL.
For example stuff like pasting from log entries, with domain.com:1234
where 1234 is a _PID_ or something, not a port number for http://...
This goes for both users and groups, since they share nickname namespace.
If you want to enable nickname changes, just add this to your config:
$config['profile']['changenick'] = true;
This commit should cover all changes in our usual web forms as well as through
the API.
Default is now to take still thumbnails of animated GIFs and then
show them as originals in an AttachmentListItem. The still frames
are mostly used with front-ends like qvitter.
I think the migration from core to plugin is done now for DMs.
This is required since we support the Twitter-based API by default,
which is implemented in many of the mobile clients etc. But you can
disable the DirectMessage for your instance of you wish, of course.
Now we have to fix any code in the core which directly uses the Fave class
or any other favorite stuff, since it is pluginised and thus might not be
available on some installations.
noembed.com acts as a proxy for oEmbed requests, but that also means they
get all the links we post on our instances, given that they're used as a
default endpoint.
htmLawed cleans stuff out properly, but there's no very good way right
now to show text/html attachments, since everything gets jumbled up with
our own CSS etc. Best would be an iframe or just a new tab or so.
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)!
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.
At the same time we remove the "filecommand" setting, since we will
likely not have use of it thanks to PECL fileinfo.
Also the "supported" list for attachment mime types has changed
format, so we can keep track of at least some known file extensions.
My reasoning: Minifying makes third party review harder. A visitor on
a GNU social site should have no problem reading, understanding and
modifying javascripts for their own liking. A minified script is much
more difficult to use, reuse, modify and share.
Free software is not minified.
Generally the Cron plugin will run if there's still execution time for
1 second since starting the Action processing. If you want to change
this (such as disabling, 0 seconds, or maybe running bigger chunks,
for like 4 seconds) you can do this, where 'n' is time in seconds.
addPlugin('Cron', array('secs_per_action', n));
Add 'rel_to_pageload'=>false to the array if you want to run the queue
for a certain amount of seconds _despite_ maybe already having run that
long in the previous parts of Action processing.
Perhaps you want to run the cron script remotely, using a machine capable
of background processing (or locally, to avoid running daemon processes),
simply do an HTTP GET request to the route /main/cron of your GNU social.
Setting secs_per_action to 0 in the plugin config will imply that you run
all your queue handling by calling /main/cron (which runs as long as it can).
/main/cron will output "0" if it has finished processing, "1" if it should
be called again to complete processing (because it ran out of time due to
PHP's max_execution_time INI setting).
The Cron plugin also runs events as close to hourly, daily and weekly
as you get, based on the opportunistic method of running whenever a user
visits the site. This means of course that the cron events should be as
fast as possible, not only to avoid delaying page load for users but
also to minimize the risk of running into PHP's max_execution_time. One
suggestion is to only use the events to add new queue items for later processing.
These events are called CronHourly, CronDaily, CronWeekly - however there
is no guarantee that all events will execute, so some kind of failsafe,
transaction-ish method must be implemented in the future.
To make the StatusNet::addPlugin() accept only arrays,
the lib/default.php had to be changed because all plugins
had 'null' as default value instead of an array.
If you're using XMPP by setting $config['xmpp'][*] then you should do:
addPlugin('Xmpp', $config['xmpp']);
because setting it directly in $config[''] won't do anything.
Also, default resource for XMPP is now 'gnusocial'. If you want something
more random, set it in your addPlugin config array.
_flow_ reported on IRC that install.php had stopped working. This was
because default plugins had been put into two separate lists, and the
list with AuthCrypt was never loaded when performing an installation.
Core plugins cannot be disabled.
I also removed the Memcache autodetection thing since it should be
solved in a more elegant manner.
We're also now using $config['image']['jpegquality'] to determine the
quality setting for resized images.
To set Avatar max size, adjust $config['avatar']['maxsize']
The getAvatar call now throws exceptions too. Related changes applied.
Now let's move Profile->avatarUrl to the Avatar class!
It may be a bad experience for new users to immediately when trying
out the service be asked for their geographical position. Instead,
let them opt-in for this behaviour.
L10n/i18n updates.
Superfluous whitespace removed.
Add FIXME for a few i18n issues I couldn't solve this quickly.
Takes care of documentation for all core code added in merge of "people tags" feature (Commit:e75c9988ebe33822e493ac225859bc593ff9b855).
$config['site']['logperf'] = true; // to record & dump total hits of each type and the runtime to syslog
$config['site']['logperf_detail'] = true; // very verbose -- dump the individual cache keys and queries as they get used (may contain private info in some queries)
Seeing 180 cache gets on a timeline page seems not unusual currently; since these run in serial, even relatively small roundtrip times can add up heavily.
We should consider ways to reduce the number of round trips, such as more frequently storing compound objects or the output of processing in memcached.
Doing parallel multi-key lookups could also help by collapsing round-trip times, but might not be easy to fit into SN's object model. (For things like streams this should actually work pretty well -- grab the list, then when it's returned go grab all the individual items in parallel and return the list)
We can make a lot of HTTP requests from the server side. This change
adds some configuration options for using an HTTP proxy, which can
cache hits from multiple sites (good for status.net-like services, for example).
If a cache entry is dependent on the code that's running, upgrading
(or enabling/disabling plugins) can generate hard-to-track
inconsistencies.
This change adds a close-to-unique fingerprint of the running code to
some cache keys, so that if the fingerprint changes, the old values
are ignored and new values are used.
If the automated uniqueness fails, an administrator can add an extra
config value, $config['site']['build'], that's thrown into the key also.
