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.
This does two things
1. Our "index grace period" has been wound down to 1 day, there is no point
keeping a bloated index for a week, usually when people delete stuff they
mean for it to be removed
2. We were never dropping deleted posts from the index, only posts from
deleted topics
These changes speed up search a tiny bit and reduce background work.
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
This reverts commit 1fbe078ae0.
`UserProfile` is created in a callback after the user has been created.
As such, it should be impossible for a user to not have a blank
`UserProfile`. This was also improved in
4f5c9bb8d3.
You can now add javascript files under `/javascripts/*` in a theme, and they will be loaded as if they were included in core, or a plugin. If you give something the same name as a core/plugin file, it will be overridden. Support file extensions are `.js.es6`, `.hbs` and `.raw.hbs`.
This is an attempt to fix the flaky:
```
1) Jobs::Onceoff can run all once off jobs without errors
Failure/Error: self.locale_no_cache = value
I18n::InvalidLocale:

This feature allows end users to "defer" topics by marking them unread
The functionality is default disabled. This also introduces the new site
setting default_other_enable_defer: to enable this by default on new user
accounts.
This backend is a bit faster and well tested, this is part of a longer
term plan to have a `backend: :memory, threaded: false` type config for
message bus which we can use in test.
The threading in message bus causes all sorts of surprises in test, it will
be nice not to be beholden to them.
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.
SSO uses a special param to username suggester that whitelists a username
due to previous work we amended our lookup logic and started ignoring this
whitelist.
The fix ensures we always respect it, and also improves on the original
implementation that forgot to normalize the username.
