This does not serve any technical purpose. It is there to provide a signpost for any user/developer that wants to know what to do with a theme archive.
New `about.json` fields (all optional):
- `authors`: An arbitrary string describing the theme authors
- `theme_version`: An arbitrary string describing the theme version
- `minimum_discourse_version`: Theme will be auto-disabled for lower versions. Must be a valid version descriptor.
- `maximum_discourse_version`: Theme will be auto-disabled for lower versions. Must be a valid version descriptor.
A localized description for a theme can be provided in the language files under the `theme_metadata.description` key
The admin UI has been re-arranged to display this new information, and give more prominence to the remote theme options.
* FIX: allow sending PMs to staff via flag even when PMs are disabled
FIX: allow sending PMs to staff via flag even if the user trust level is insufficient
* Update lib/topic_creator.rb

The `posts` relation on `Topic` is not ordered. Using `Topic.posts.first`
is basically the same as asking for a random post, it will depend on DB
order. This breaks on Topic merge and split for example.
Additionally, a huge problem with that is that it forces active record down
a slow path. `Topic.posts.first` is extremely slow on giant topics, since
it has no default ordering it appears AR materializes the entire set prior
to doing `first`.
This commit also illustrates the importance of testing, initially I only
fixed the second instance of the problem in `post_validator.rb` but testing
revealed that the problem was repeated at the top of the file.
Longer term we should consider a larger change of default ordering the posts
relations so people do not fall down this trap anymore.
We use the `id` of the upload to calculate a `depth` partition in the
filename. This test would fail if your database had a higher seed
because the depth it was looking for was hard coded to 1.
The solution was to not save the records (which is faster anyway) and
specify the `id` of the upload to make the hash deterministic.
SiteSettingExtension triggers message bus which re-establishes a
DB connection in `SiteSettingExtension#process_message`. That happens
concurrently and a test that requires a connection to the db will
fail when the reconnection is happening.
Before this patch, a high trust level user could flag something
and have an action be taken, as well as skipping the flag queue.
Now, if a TL3/TL4 cause an action, the flag will skip the minimum
visibility check and allow staff to review it.
This allows fidelity in controlling excerpt (text that shows up when you pin a topic or link to it externally):
```
I am some text
[excerpt]
This is some **custom** markdown that should be the excerpt
[/excerpt]
More text
```
Previous solution relied on DIVs, unfortunately DIVs do not play well,
by design with mixing markdown unless you have a preceding newline eg:
```
<div class='hello'>
this will be treated properly as markdown
</div>
```
This extra newline is not desirable.
I am also considering adding
```
[div class=excerpt]
[/div]
```
This would offer lots of flexibility to themes and plugins that do not want the extra annoying newline.
As per the documentation for KEYS
```
Warning: consider KEYS as a command that should only be used in production environments with extreme care. It may ruin performance when it is executed against large databases. This command is intended for debugging and special operations, such as changing your keyspace layout.
```
Instead SCAN
```
Since these commands allow for incremental iteration, returning only a small number of elements per call, they can be used in production without the downside of commands like KEYS or SMEMBERS that may block the server for a long time (even several seconds) when called against big collections of keys or elements.
```
