Hi all,
This and last 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.
* Quoted replies with the new editor work as expected.
Normally a bug fix doesn't get top spot here, but this one will be felt by a lot of web users, I think. Thanks to J for identifying what was going on and how to reproduce it so that Mark could fix it.
* Changed the new editor to use P tags for enter when editing the wiki.
This fix isn't exactly what I wanted, but it will do. Especially since now I know that Shift+Enter will do what I want - thanks to Jennifer in beta@ for that tip! My only niggling doubt is that now the behavior of Enter versus Shift+Enter is reversed in Wiki context versus Message context. My hobgoblin objects to the inconsistency.
* Test version of the new search engine.
* Test version of new search with start of advanced search filters.
This should be a winner, once it settles out a bit. I haven't had time to play with it much yet, but I'm hoping that drop-down between the search target box and the Search button turns into a powerful collection of search filters.
* New help section on Bounce handling, thanks to J.
That's a lot of detail for something that many moderators ought never need to know or care about. Yes, I know, there are also many groups that want to closely monitor their members' email status to be sure nothing has gone wrong.
Bounce handling being an automatic and behind-the-scenes system, those who need or want to know really need that level of detail to understand what it is doing. And learning by testing is too difficult to actually accomplish, at least for most mortals (Lena excepted).
* For groups that are not reply to group, unsubscribe links in single messages will require login to unsubscribe.
Here's one where I need to follow up. I agree with JohnF's concern that list unsubscribe should never require login. Any extra steps in the process is likely to end with the user resorting to the Spam button, and that's bad for all concerned.
Comments about these others are also welcome:
* CHANGE: Code change to prevent flashing of HTML before TinyMCE editor is displayed.
* CHANGE: Normalize HTML now defangs h1-h6 tags as well.
* CHANGE: Changed URLs of View/Reply Online links in HTML digests to do the same thing as single messages (ie go directly to the message).
* NEW: 'Send Message' button when viewing pending messages.
* INTERNAL: Work on the API.
* INTERNAL: Email server now uses less memory in certain situations.
* SYSADMIN: Resized email sending machine.
* BUGFIX: Add an extra newline between messages when downloading archives, to ensure proper mbox format.
* BUGFIX: In a rare case, a group on the yearly plan could be charged twice.
* INTERNAL: Cleaning up some malformed messages from Yahoo Groups imports.
* CHANGE: Changed the policy when cooking HTML, being more permissive with URLs.
* NEW: Include 'Private: ' in 'Reply To Sender' subject lines.
* BUGFIX: Some line heights in the TinyMCE editor were inconsistent with the rest of the site.
* BUGFIX: Fix type sorting of group member notices to be alphabetical.
* CHANGE: Fixed the regex responsible for finding URLs in plain text to allow * and ! characters.
* CHANGE: Changed the threading algorithm. Now if a message has references but none match existing messages, we look for a subject match. Previously, we would only look for a subject match if the message did not have any references. This is to fix the problem when people use the Reply link in HTML digests to reply to a message.
* SYSADMIN: Moved the load balancer onto its own machine.
Please call out any you find significant.
