For sites that are configured to mute some or all categories and tags
for users by default, groups can now be configured to set members'
notification level to normal from the group manage UI.
* FEATURE: set notification levels when added to a group
This feature allows admins and group owners to define default
category and tag tracking levels that will be applied to user
preferences automatically at the time when users are added to the
group. Users are free to change those preferences afterwards.
When removed from a group, the user's notification preferences aren't
changed.
Within 24 hours of signing up, new users were losing their
default trust level of 3. With this fix, demotions from
trust level 3 won't happen when the "default trust level"
setting is 3 or 4.
It wasn't intended that people should be able to earn trust level
3 without participating in public topics. When counting topic
views and likes given/received, don't count private topics.
Having a tag be a member of a tag group and the group's parent tag at
the same time causes some unexpected behavior. When a tag is assigned
as the parent, remove it from the group.
When looking for the first paragraph with content in a post,
it was matching the lightboxed image paragraph as "<p></p>".
Fix that and other potential empty paragraphs with the
p:not(:empty) selector.
Add a new selector to find the image links in lightboxed
images as valid content for emails.
After adding a tag as a synonym of another tag,
both tags will have the wrong topic counts. It's
corrected within 12 hours by the EnsureDbConsistency
job. This fix ensures the topic counts are updated
much sooner.
When a tag is restricted to a secured category that the user can't see,
the message was saying that it wasn't restricted to any categories.
Now it will say it's restricted to categories you can't access.
But the "synonyms" can't use the TagSerializer yet. We still have some
code from the discourse-tagging plugin that uses "text" instead of
"name", "count" instead of "topic_count", etc. We should make the js
consistent with the TagSerializer and then stop using tag_counts_json.
This feature adds the ability to define synonyms for tags, and the ability to merge one tag into another while keeping it as a synonym. For example, tags named "js" and "java-script" can be synonyms of "javascript". When searching and creating topics using synonyms, they will be mapped to the base tag.
Along with this change is a new UI found on each tag's page (for example, `/tags/javascript`) where more information about the tag can be shown. It will list the synonyms, which categories it's restricted to (if any), and which tag groups it belongs to (if tag group names are public on the `/tags` page by enabling the "tags listed by group" setting). Staff users will be able to manage tags in this UI, merge tags, and add/remove synonyms.
If a post starts with a post quote and has no other text content,
then the email excerpt was the name of the person quoted and
nothing else. The intention was to show the contents of the
first paragraph or div after the quote.
With this change, a quote followed by an image will use the
image as the excerpt. A quote followed by a onebox will use the
onebox.
This method had grown into a monster. Its query had bugs
that I couldn't fix, and new features would be hard to add.
Also I don't understand how it all works anymore...
Replace it with common table expressions that can be queried
to generate the results we need, instead of subtracting
results using lots of "NOT IN" clauses.
Fixed are bugs with tag schemas that use combinations of
tag groups, parent tags, and one-tag-per-topic restrictions.
For example: https://meta.discourse.org/t/130991/6
This is a follow-up to the new feature that allows a category to
require a certain number of tags from a tag group. The tag input will
shows results from the required group if none have been chosen yet.
Once a require tag is selected, the tag input will include other
results as usual. Staff users can ignore this restriction, so the input
behaviour is unchanged for them.
In a category's settings, the Tags tab has two new fields to
specify the number of tags that must be added to a topic
from a tag group. When creating a new topic, an error will be
shown to the user if the requirement isn't met.
The query to count how many new users there are since a given date
is expensive. It's the least personalized stat and the one we fallback
to last when no better number can be found for the target user.
Give up accuracy so we can aggressively cache the user counts
that appear in this email.
Enable the new setting "post excerpts in emails" to send excerpts
instead of complete posts in notification emails. Control the length of
excerpts with the "post excerpt maxlength" setting.
This feature adds the ability to customize the HTML part of all emails using a custom HTML template and optionally some CSS to style it. The CSS will be parsed and converted into inline styles because CSS is poorly supported by email clients. When writing the custom HTML and CSS, be aware of what email clients support. Keep customizations very simple.
Customizations can be added and edited in Admin > Customize > Email Style.
Since the summary email is already heavily styled, there is a setting to disable custom styles for summary emails called "apply custom styles to digest" found in Admin > Settings > Email.
As part of this work, RTL locales are now rendered correctly for all emails.
