Groups.io site updates #changelog


 

Hi all,

This week's change log:


Feel free to reply to this topic if you'd like to comment on the
changes. Or better yet, if you expect a lot of discussion start a new
topic (or rejoin an existing one) about a specific change.


CHANGE: When exporting Yahoo Groups, scan messages for U+FFFD
characters and remove them.
That would be the "Replacement Character", used to replace an unknown, unrecognized or unrepresentable character. Visually it looks like a white question mark in a black diamond: ? (Not all fonts or systems will display that).

This is of interest because Yahoo Groups went through several periods where they were handling the different character sets used in email messages (and files) drastically wrong; with the result that some texts had many characters replaced with that symbol.


BUGFIX: Added missing 'Reply To Group & Sender' option in full
digests.
Another reminder that I need to update the "Your Friend, the Footer" wiki page.


Comments about these others are also welcome:

NEW: If NormalizeHTMLEmails is set, normalize any added member
signatures as well.
NEW: Added 'TR:' as a subject reply indicator.
CHANGE: Made our Message-ID header line parsing code smarter, to deal
with a crazy message-id of the form "salkdjjks@alksjdklas (extra
unexpected stuff here)"
CHANGE: Now removing any erroneous nulls from decoded message subject
lines.
INTERNAL: Work on automated provisioning/configuration of new
machines.
SYSADMIN: Created a new, larger search cluster, and reindexed the
site.
BUGFIX: When aliasing a hashtag to another tag, existing topics were
not being properly updated in the search index. So searches on the
aliased-to tag would not show the aliased-from topics. This was due
to two issues in how we were updating the search index.

Please call out any you find significant.

Shal
