This feature introduces the concept of themes. Themes are an evolution
of site customizations.
Themes introduce two very big conceptual changes:
- A theme may include other "child themes", children can include grand
children and so on.
- A theme may specify a color scheme
The change does away with the idea of "enabled" color schemes.
It also adds a bunch of big niceties like
- You can source a theme from a git repo
- History for themes is much improved
- You can only have a single enabled theme. Themes can be selected by
users, if you opt for it.
On a technical level this change comes with a whole bunch of goodies
- All CSS is now compiled using a custom pipeline that uses libsass
see /lib/stylesheet
- There is a single pipeline for css compilation (in the past we used
one for customizations and another one for the rest of the app
- The stylesheet pipeline is now divorced of sprockets, there is no
reliance on sprockets for CSS bundling
- CSS is generated with source maps everywhere (including themes) this
makes debugging much easier
- Our "live reloader" is smarter and avoid a flash of unstyled content
we run a file watcher in "puma" in dev so you no longer need to run
rake autospec to watch for CSS changes
Adds a "Step 0" to the wizard if the site has no admin accounts where
the user is prompted to finish setting up their admin account from the
list of acceptable email addresses.
Once confirmed, the wizard begins.
on iOS 10 behavior of zoom restriction has changed.
This does not disable zooming on iOS 10 but it DOES stop it from randomly
zooming when you are composing
The opensearch.xml results in a "site search engine" being added to
Chrome, while the sitelinks search tag results in "Search this website"
being added to Google Search.
<% s=Time.now;
main_app.categories_path
main_app.guidelines_path
main_app.tos_path
main_app.privacy_path
p (Time.now-s)*1000%>
Returns 10-20ms consistently on i7-4770k, on shared hosts the cost
could easily reach 40ms
This code simply calculates the strings
/categories
/guidelines
/tos
/privacy
It is ludicrous to spend this enormous amount of work just to calculate
4 strings.
I do not know if this is something specific about Discourse or a bug in
Rails (I tried without the main_app prefix and got similar results),
regardless we can got to avoid these _path APIs for now
Discovered this when running a flamegraph on our home page.
Our plugins use rails engines which are mounted against the main
application's `ApplicationController`. This works great but path helpers
need to reference `main_app` in order for it not to blow up.

While *sometimes* `no_js` was used for visitors without js (for example
disabling it on your browser) it was also used for some pages that were
disabled to JS capable browsers, including the 404 page.
Even worse, sometimes it was used on pages that *had* Javascript, such
as our `/activate-account` route. It has been renamed to `no_ember` to
indicate what it really is, a layout for the site that doesn't load our
Ember.js application.
Added the site setting long_polling_base_url , this allows you
to farm long polling to a different server.
This setting is very important if a CDN is serving dynamic content.
