Few people used dmail filters (~900 users in 5 years) and even fewer
used them correctly. Most people used them to try to block dmail spam,
but usually they either blocked too much (by adding common words that
are present in nearly all dmails, causing all mails to them to be
filtered) or too little (blocking specific email addresses or urls,
which usually are never seen again after the spammer is banned).
Nowadays the spam detection system does a better job of filtering spam.
The belongs_to_creator macro was used to initialize the creator_id field
to the CurrentUser. This made tests complicated because it meant you had
to create and set the current user every time you wanted to create an
object, when lead to the current user being set over and over again. It
also meant you had to constantly be aware of what the CurrentUser was in
many different contexts, which was often confusing. Setting creators
explicitly simplifies everything greatly.
* Rename 'privacy mode' to 'private favorites'.
* Make the private favorites setting only hide favorites, not favgroups
and not the user's uploads on their profile page.
* Make the favgroup is_public flag default to true instead of false and
fix existing favgroups to be public if the user didn't have privacy mode
enabled before.
* List _all_ public favgroups on the /favorite_groups index, not just
favgroups belonging to the current user.
* Add a /users/<id>/favorite_groups endpoint.
Remove restrictions against flagging too many posts by the same
uploader. This had problems with preventing legitimate flags in some
cases, particularly with old legacy content. This will be policed
manually instead.
This was an alternate frontpage that contained a list of previews of the
most popular tags. This page was never linked from anywhere and it was
unknown by most users.
Eliminate the Danbooru.config.hostnames option. It was only used for
rewriting links in notes. Just using the main hostname is good enough,
there aren't any notes still using any of Danbooru's alternate domain
names.
* Don't link non-artist tags to artist pages, even when the tag has an
artist entry. These artist entries are usually old deleted entries
that happen to have the same name as a gentag, or leftover entries
that need to be deleted.
* URL escape the artist name in /artists/show_or_new?name={name}
This was a search page that let you search for tags, aliases, and
implications at the same time. It never got much use and it's been
broken for a while now (the search form passed the wrong param to the
controller).
Add test for #4243. Also fix warning from bootsnap:
iseq.rb:18: warning: nested repeat operator '+' and '?' was replaced with '*' in regular expression: /(?<!\A)生誕祭(?:\d+)?\z/
Hide IP ban creation and deletion actions from non-mods in the
/mod_actions listing.
The previous approach of just filtering out the IP from the description
was hacky and didn't work with the `only` param (/mod_actions.json?only=id
still included the description field).
Remove the login reminder page. The meaning of "login reminder" wasn't
clear (it's for recovering a forgotten username) and the functionality
was redundant. The password reset page can already be used to recover
forgotten usernames.
There was also a privacy leak, since the login reminder page could be
used to find out whether a given email is in use on Danbooru.
The twitter gem had several problems:
* It's been unmaintained for over a year.
* It pulled in a lot of dependencies, many of which were outdated. In
particular, it locked the `http` gem to version 3.3, preventing us
from upgrading to 4.2.
* It raised exceptions on normal error conditions, like for deleted
tweets or suspended users, which we really don't want.
* We had to wrap it to provide caching.
Changes:
* Fixes#4226 (Exception when creating new artists entries for suspended
Twitter accounts)
* Drop support for scraping images from summary cards. Summary cards
are the previews you get when you link to a website in a tweet. These
preview images aren't always the best image.
* Move the Curated pool updater from Reportbooru to Danbooru.
* Change the process for selecting curated posts. Previously it was
every post from the last week with at least three supervotes. This was
flawed because it included both super-upvotes and super-downvotes. Now
it's the top 100 posts from the last week, ordered from most super-upvoted
to least.
Don't track IP addresses for post appeals, post flags, tag aliases, tag
implications, or user feedbacks. These things are already tightly
limited. We don't need IPs from them to detect sockpuppets.
Bug: sending a dmail containing a wiki link (ex: [[tagme]]) failed when
the recipient had email notifications turned on.
Cause: wiki links inside email notifications use absolute urls, which
the dtext postprocessor didn't parse correctly.
Move the parsing for the [bur:<id>], [ta:<id>], [ti:<id>] pseudo tags to
the main parser in `DText.format_text`. This fixes a bug where wiki
links inside bulk update requests on the forum weren't properly
colorized because the text of the BUR was embedded after we scanned for
wiki links, not before.
This also ensures that tags inside bulk update requests will be recorded
in the dtext_links table, meaning that forum posts can be properly
searched by tags.
This incidentally means that these request pseudo tags can now be used
outside the forum.
* Move forum post vote tests from test/controllers to test/functional.
* Fix forum post vote tests to work with new routes.
* Fix obsolete wiki page tests dealing with updater_id.
* Remove the single alias and implication request forms. From now
on, bulk update requests are the only way to request aliases or
implications.
* Remove the forum topic ID field from the bulk update request form.
Instead, to attach a BUR to an existing topic you go to the topic then
you click "Request alias/implication" at the top of the page.
* Update the bulk update request form to give better examples for the
script format and to explain the difference between aliases and
implications.
Fix the moebooru strategy to fallback to returning the image url if we
can't find the preview url. Fixes iqdb lookups failing in some cases
because the strategy didn't return a valid url for preview_url.
Add a dtext_links table for tracking links between wiki pages. This is
to allow for broken link detection and "what links here" searches, among
other uses.
DText is processed in three phases: a preprocessing phase, the regular
parsing phases, and a postprocessing phase.
In the preprocessing phase we extract all the wiki links from all the
dtext messages on the page (more precisely, we do this in forum threads
and on comment pages, because these are the main places with lots of
dtext). This is so we can lookup all the tags and wiki pages in one
query, which is necessary because in the worst case (in certain forum
threads and in certain list_of_* wiki pages) there can be hundreds of
tags per page.
In the postprocessing phase we fixup the html generated by the ragel
parser to add CSS classes to wiki links. We do this in a postprocessing
step because it's easier than doing it in the ragel parser itself.
There are a handful of places where we need to strip markup from a piece
of dtext, primarily in <meta> description tags in the wiki. Currently
the dtext parser handles this by having a special mode where it parses
the text but doesn't output html tags. Here we refactor to instead parse
the text normally then strip out the html tags after the fact.
This is more flexible and allows us to simplify a lot of things in the
dtext parser. This also produces more readable output than before in
certain cases.
Previously the page-based (numbered) paginator would always count the
total_pages, even in API calls when it wasn't needed. This could be very
slow in some cases. Refactor so that total_pages isn't calculated unless
it's called.
While we're at it, refactor to condense all the sequential vs. numbered
pagination logic into one module. This incidentally fixes a couple more
bugs:
* "page=b0" returned all pages rather than nothing.
* Bad parameters like "page=blaha123" and "page=a123blah" were accepted.
