Remove the ability to lock a tag's category. Before a moderator could
lock a tag such that only an admin could change the tag's category.
Nowadays the ability to change a tag's category is based on the tag's
size. Members can change tag categories for tags with up to 50 posts,
and Builders can change categories for tags with up to 1000 posts.
Manually locking tags is not necessary.
We only had a few dozen locked tags, mostly random *_(cosplay) tags or
company name tags. Most of these are holdovers from moderators randomly
locking tags like ten years ago.
The `is_locked` field is still in the database, so it is still returned
by the /tags.json API, even though it is unused.
Fix an error being raised when trying to generate thumbnails for corrupt
files. If the original image is corrupt, then ignore any errors and let
libvips try to generate a thumbnail as best it can. This will usually
result in an incomplete thumbnail.
This is used to provide higher resolution thumbnails for high pixel
density displays, such as phones or laptops. If your screen has a 2x
pixel density ratio, then 360x360 thumbnails will be rendered at 720x720
resolution.
We use WebP here because it's about 15% smaller than the equivalent
JPEG, and because if a device has a high enough pixel density to use
this, then it probably supports WebP.
720x720 thumbnails average about 36kb in size, compared to 20.35kb for
360x360 thumbnails and 7.55kb for 180x180 thumbnails.
Calculate the dimensions of thumbnails ourselves instead of letting
libvips calculate them for us. This way we know the exact size of
thumbnails, so we can set the right width and height for <img> tags. If
we let libvips calculate thumbnail sizes for us, then we can't predict
the exact size of thumbnails, because sometimes libvips rounds numbers
differently than us.
Allow admins to remove votes on posts. This is for fixing vote abuse.
Votes can be removed by going to the vote list on the /post_votes page,
or by clicking on a post's score, then using the "Remove" option in the
"..." dropdown menu next to the vote.
Votes are soft-deleted - they're marked as deleted in the database, but
not fully deleted. Removed votes are only visible to admins, not to
regular users. When a vote is removed by an admin, it leaves a mod
action.
Technically it's possible to undelete votes, but there's no UI for it.
* Add a gap between thumbnails on mobile.
* Adjust CSS for scores and vote buttons.
* Include "Private favorites" as an incentive on the user upgrade page.
* Fix vote buttons not being visible beneath thumbnails on mobile.
* Fix the "Show scores" link not preserving the current page number.
* Fix vote buttons being unintentionally enabled for all thumbnails by default.
* Fix banned and restricted users being able to favorite posts by
tagging them with `fav:self`.
* Fix search engines being able to crawl /posts?view=score pages.
* Fix broken tests.
Changes:
* Make it so you can click or hover over a post's favorite count to see
the list of public favorites.
* Remove the "Show »" button next to the favorite count.
* Make the favorites list visible to all users. Before favorites were
only visible to Gold users.
* Make the /favorites page show the list of all public favorites,
instead of redirecting to the current user's favorites.
* Add /posts/:id/favorites endpoint.
* Add /users/:id/favorites endpoint.
This is for several reasons:
* To make viewing favorites work the same way as viewing upvotes.
* To make posts load faster for Gold users. Before, we loaded all the
favorites when viewing a post, even when the user didn't look at them.
This made pageloads slower for posts that had hundreds or thousands of
favorites. Now we only load the favlist if the user hovers over the favcount.
* To make the favorite list visible to all users. Before, it wasn't
visible to non-Gold users, because of the performance issue listed above.
* To make it more obvious that favorites are public by default. Before,
since regular users could only see the favcount, they may have
mistakenly believed other users couldn't see their favorites.
Add upvote and downvote buttons beneath thumbnails on the post index page.
This is disabled by default. To enable it, click the "..." menu in the top
right of the page, then click "Show scores".
This is currently a per-search setting, not an account setting. If you
enable it in one tab, it won't be enabled in other tabs.
Make private favgroups a Gold-only option. This is for consistency with
private favorites and upvotes being Gold-only options.
Existing Members with private favgroups are allowed to keep them, as
long as they don't disable privacy. If they disable it, then they can't
re-enable it again without upgrading to Gold first.
Make private favorites and upvotes a Gold-only account option.
Existing Members with private favorites enabled are allowed to keep it
enabled, as long as they don't disable it. If they disable it, then they
can't re-enable it again without upgrading to Gold first.
This is a Gold-only option to prevent uploaders from creating multiple
accounts to upvote their own posts. If private upvotes were allowed for
Members, then it would be too easy to use fake accounts and private
upvotes to upvote your own posts.
Make upvotes public the same way favorites are public:
* Rename the "Private favorites" account setting to "Private favorites and upvotes".
* Make upvotes public, unless the user has private upvotes enabled. Note
that private upvotes are still visible to admins. Downvotes are still
hidden to everyone except for admins.
* Make https://danbooru.donmai.us/post_votes visible to all users. This
page shows all public upvotes. Private upvotes and downvotes are only
visible on the page to admins and to the voter themselves.
* Make votes searchable with the `upvote:username` and `downvote:username`
metatags. These already existed before, but they were only usable by
admins and by people searching for their own votes.
Upvotes are public to discourage users from upvoting with multiple
accounts. Upvote abuse is obvious to everyone when upvotes are public.
The other reason is to make upvotes consistent with favorites, which are
already public.
Bug: If a media asset got stuck in the 'processing' state during upload,
then it would stay stuck forever and the file couldn't be uploaded again
later.
Fix: Mark stuck assets as failed before raising the "Upload failed"
error. Once the asset is marked as failed, it can be uploaded again
later. Also, only wait for assets to finish processing if they were
uploaded less than 5 minutes ago. If a processing asset is more than 5
minutes old, consider it stuck and mark it as failed immediately.
Assets getting stuck in the processing state is a 'this should never
happen' error. Normally if any kind of exception is raised while
uploading the asset, the asset will be set to the 'failed' state. The
only way an asset can get stuck is if it fails and the exception handler
doesn't run, or the exception handler itself fails. This might happen if
the process is unexpectedly killed, or possibly if the HTTP request
times out and a TimeoutError is raised at an inopportune time. See below
for discussion of issues with Timeout.

Change the rules for automatically retiring aliases and implications:
* Retire aliases to tags that are empty, or that are for a general or
artist tag that hasn't received any new posts in the last two years.
* Retire implications from tags that are empty.
* Don't retire aliases or implications for character, copyright, or
meta tags any more, unless the tags are empty.
Change the /bulk_update_requests page to show the newest BURs first
instead of pending BURs first. This is more consistent with index pages
on the rest of the site, which normally default to newest first. Fixes
an issue where failed BURs would be shown first forever unless they were
manually approved or rejected.
Fix the `enable_seo_post_urls` config option not being respected. This
option controls whether filenames in image URLs contain the tags. This
option requires URLs rewrites in Nginx to work so it's disabled by
default.
Refactor StorageManager to remove all image URL generation code. Instead
the image URL generation code lives in MediaAsset.
Now StorageManager is only concerned with how to read and write files to
remote storage backends like S3 or SFTP, not with how image URLs should
be generated. This way the file storage code isn't tightly coupled to
posts, so it can be used to store any kind of file, not just images
belonging to posts.
Fix it so that when a post is expunged, the media asset is also marked
as expunged. This way the files will be deleted, but the media asset
will still remain as a record of what was expunged. The media asset will
have the md5, width, height, file ext, and file size of the deleted file.
Show the length of videos and animated posts in the thumbnail. The
length is shown the top left corner in MM:SS format. This replaces the
play button icon.
Show a speaker icon instead of a music note icon for posts with sound.
Doing this requires doing `.includes(:media_asset)` in a bunch of
places to avoid N+1 queries when we access the post's duration.
Don't delete replaced files after 30 days. There are only about 30k
replacements in total, so the cost of keeping replaced files is
negligible. It was also wrong because the media asset wasn't destroyed
too, so there were active media assets with missing files.
Don't destroy Pixiv Ugoira frame data when the media asset is destroyed.
This is wrong because when uploads were pruned, it could delete the
frame data of an active post.
Add a md5 uniqueness constraint on media assets to prevent duplicate
assets from being created. This way we can guarantee that there is one
active media asset per uploaded file.
Also make it so that if two people are uploading the same file at the
same time, the file is processed only once.
* Make it so replacing a post doesn't generate a dummy upload as a side effect.
* Make it so you can't replace a post with itself (the post should be regenerated instead).
* Refactor uploads and replacements to save the ugoira frame data when
the MediaAsset is created, not when the post is created. This way it's
possible to view the ugoira before the post is created.
* Make `download_file!` in the Pixiv source strategy return a MediaFile
with the ugoira frame data already attached to it, instead of returning it
in the `data` field then passing it around separately in the `context`
field of the upload.
Move more of the file-handling logic from UploadService and
StorageManager into MediaAsset. This is part of refactoring posts and
uploads to allow multiple images per post.
Refactor full-text search on several tables (comments, dmails,
forum_posts, forum_topics, notes, and wiki_pages) to use to_tsvector
expression indexes instead of dedicated tsvector columns. This way
full-text search works the same way across all tables.
API changes:
* Changed /wiki_pages.json?search[body_matches] to match against only
the body. Before `body_matches` matched against both the title and the body.
* Added /wiki_pages.json?search[title_or_body_matches] to match against
both the title and the body.
* Fixed /dmails.json?search[message_matches] to match against both the
title and body when doing a wildcard search. Before a wildcard search
only matched against the body.
* Added /dmails.json?search[body_matches] to match against only the dmail body.
Make it so that when a database call inside a `with_timeout` block times
out, the error logged to New Relic is marked as expected. This is so
that expected timeouts, such as timeouts when calculating search counts
or timeouts when generating related tags for the sidebar, don't count
against the error rate.
Change the wiki_pages tsvector_update_trigger to use
`pg_catalog.english` instead of `public.danbooru`. This changes how wiki
page text is parsed for full-text search to use the standard English
parser instead of test_parser. This is to prepare for dropping
test_parser. Using test_parser here was wrong anyway because it meant
that punctuation wasn't removed from words when indexing wiki pages for
full-text search.
Use the `string_to_array(tag_string, ' ')` index instead of the
`tag_index` for tag searches. The string_to_array index lets us treat
the tag_string as an array for searching purposes. This lets us get rid
of the tag_index column and the test_parser dependency in the future.
Stop updating the fav_string attribute on posts. The column still exists
on the table, but is no longer used or updated.
Like the pool_string in 7d503f08, the fav_string was used in the past to
facilitate `fav:X` searches. Posts had a hidden fav_string column that
contained a list of every user who favorited the post. These were
treated like fake hidden tags on the post so that a search for `fav:X`
was treated like a tag search.
The fav_string attribute has been unused for search purposes for a while
now. It was only kept because of technicalities that required
departitioning the favorites table first (340e1008e) before it could be
removed. Basically, removing favorites with `@favorite.destroy` was
slow because Rails always deletes object by ID, but we didn't have an
index on favorites.id, and we couldn't easily add one until the
favorites table was departitioned.
Fixes#4652. See https://github.com/danbooru/danbooru/issues/4652#issuecomment-754993802
for more discussion of issues caused by the fav_string (in short: write
amplification, post table bloat, and favorite inconsistency problems).
Order https://danbooru.donmai.us/favorites.json by favorite ID instead
of by post ID. This way you can get a feed of recently added favorites.
Previously this wasn't possible because we didn't have an index on
favorite ID.
Merge the 100 favorite subtables into a single table.
Previously the favorites table was partitioned by user id into 100
subtables to try to make searching by user id faster. This wasn't really
necessary and probably slower than just making an index on
(favorites.user_id, favorites.id) to satisfy ordfav searches. BTree
indexes are logarithmic so dividing an index by 100 doesn't make it 100
times faster to search; instead it just removes a layer or two from the
tree.
This also adds a uniqueness index on (user_id, post_id) to prevent
duplicate favorites. Previously we had to check for duplicates at the
application layer, which required careful locking to do it correctly.
Finally, this adds an index on favorites.id, which was surprisingly
missing before. This made ordering and deleting favorites by id really
slow because it degraded to a sequential scan.
Let all users have unlimited favorites. Formerly the limit was 10k
favorites for regular members, 20k for Gold, and unlimited for Platinum.
Limiting favorites doesn't make sense since upvotes are unlimited.
Stop using the pool_string attribute on posts:
* Stop updating it when adding or removing posts from pools.
* Stop returning pool_string in the /posts.json API.
* Stop including the `data-pools` attribute on thumbnails.
The pool_string attribute was used in the past to facilitate pool:X
searches. Posts had a hidden pool_string attribute that contained a list
of every pool the post belonged to. These pools were treated like fake
hidden tags on the post and a search for `pool:X` was treated like a tag
search.
The pool_string has no longer been used for this purpose for a long time
now, and was only maintained for API compatibility purposes. Getting rid
of it eliminates a bunch of legacy cruft relating to adding and removing
posts from pools.
If you need to see which pools a post belongs to, do this:
* https://danbooru.donmai.us/pools.json?search[post_ids_include_any]=318550
The `data-pools` attribute on thumbnails was used by some people to add
custom borders to pooled posts with custom CSS. This will no longer
work. This was already broken because it included things like collection
pools and deleted pools, which you probably didn't want. Use a
userscript to add this attribute back to thumbnails if you need it.
Start storing the duration of animations and videos in the `duration`
field on the media_assets table. This had to wait until 3d30bfd69 was
deployed, which had to wait until Postgres was upgraded in order to add
the duration column to the media_assets table without downtime.
Also add a fix script to backfill the duration on existing posts. Usage:
TAGS=animated ./script/fixes/079_fix_duration.rb
