This new setting option lets group owners message/mention large groups
without granting that privilege to all members.
This can cause unbound CPU usage in some cases, and excessive logging in other cases. This commit moves redis readonly information into the local process, but maintains the DistributedCache for postgres readonly state.
The site settings beginning with "topic views heat" and "topic post like
heat" are set to defaults when installing Discourse, but there has not
been a process or guidance for updating these values based on
community activity.
This feature will update them once a month. The low, medium, and
high settings will be based on the minimums of the 45th, 25th, and
10th percentile topics respectively, so that 45% of topics will have
some "heat".
Disable automatic changes with the automatic_topic_heat_values setting.
Previous to this fix is a post had the test www.test.com/abc it would fail
to index.
This also simplifies the rules to avoid full url parsing which can be
expensive
Previously we used custom fields to denote a user was anonymous, this was
risky in that custom fields are prone to race conditions and are not
properly dedicated, missing constraints and so on.
The new table `anonymous_users` is properly protected. There is only one
possible shadow account per user, which is enforced using a constraint.
Every anonymous user will have a unique row in the new table.
* Introduced fab!, a helper that creates database state for a group
It's almost identical to let_it_be, except:
1. It creates a new object for each test by default,
2. You can disable it using PREFABRICATION=0
`Upload#url` is more likely and can change from time to time. When it
does changes, we don't want to have to look through multiple tables to
ensure that the URLs are all up to date. Instead, we simply associate
uploads properly to `UserProfile` so that it does not have to replicate
the URLs in the table.
This change both speeds up specs (less strings to allocate) and helps catch
cases where methods in Discourse are mutating inputs.
Overall we will be migrating everything to use #frozen_string_literal: true
it will take a while, but this is the first and safest move in this direction
