Toby Zerner 8edb684ea9 Simplify and improve notifications API. ... It turns out that the idea of “sending” a notification is flawed. (What happens if the notification subject is deleted shortly after? The notified user would end up with a dud notification which would be confusing. What about if a post is edited to mention an extra user? If you sent out notifications, the users who’ve already been mentioned would get a duplicate notification.) Instead, I’ve introduced the idea of notification “syncing”. Whenever a change is made to a piece of data (e.g. a post is created, edited, or deleted), you make a common notification and “sync” it to a set of users. The users who’ve received this notification before won’t get it again. It will be sent out to new users, and hidden from users who’ve received it before but are no longer recipients (e.g. users who’ve been “unmentioned” in a post). To keep track of this, we use the existing notifications database table, with an added `is_deleted` column. The syncing/diffing is handled all behind the scenes; the API is extremely simple (see Core\Notifications\DiscussionRenamedNotification + Core\Events\Handlers\DiscussionRenamedNotifier)		2015-05-20 12:24:01 +09:30
