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.
* Launched new search!
This is the big one. Long anticipated, and hopefully a lead-in to more search/filter features (my list beta@ #14955). Though Mark may want to take a breather from Search for a while.
* When viewing a database row, there's now a permalink icon/link for the row.
Yay! On the path towards permalinks for all user contributions...
* New hashtag options: Locked, which creates a topic and locks it immediately, and Replies Unmoderated, which for moderated groups, allows all replies to be unmoderated (excepting people who are specifically moderated).
For when you absolutely positively want to have the first and last word, and for when it's "let your hair down" time? Ok, that latter falls under the category "just because I can't imagine a use case for it doesn't mean that one doesn't exist".
Comments about these others are also welcome:
NEW: When viewing an event, there's now a 'Download Event' button which will download an ICS file for just that event.
NEW: Support for +sub and +unsub email commands.
INTERNAL: When importing Yahoo Groups, check for bogus Yahoo email addresses.
BUGFIX: Some reports of ICS files not being parsed correctly. I re-worked how the timezones were specified to hopefully fix the problem.
CHANGE: Pull larger pictures from Facebook pages.
BUGFIX: Subject sort in overall Topics view was not working.
INTERNAL: Re-wrote the Postgres to ES streaming connection to not use Kafka, which was proving to be unreliable.
INTERNAL: Re-wrote a part of the monitoring system for efficiency and to make it easier to maintain.
Please call out any you find significant.
