What Changed in October 2023

What changed from March to September 2023

Monday 2 October 2023

Pre-release patch to "numbered lock flight" rotation to restore Bingley 5 Rise. The thing I needed to do was change the icon when the angle was between 90° and 270°, not 180° and 360°

Tuesday 10 October 2023

• Fix for double escaping of HTML entities on index page quotes
• Extended displayname lookup to new database (surface fix for issue 1175)
• Added prefixed new user IDs to revision tables, and new mode to turn to users (deep fix for issue 1175).

→ Release 9.41.3.1

• Fixed the warning about reloading pages when you log in or out of some pages (an old bug but picked up in issue 1161).

Wednesday 11 October 2023

• Proper creation of new photo records when new user adds a photo
• Some auto-reported problems with load/save fixed

→ Release 9.41.3.2

Thursday 12 October 2023

• Default mode for export is now properly set (all I could find when working on issue 1141)
• Restored some missing photos for features (such as Froghall Tunnel)
• Added a way to see other photos of a place as requested in issue 1125

→ Release 9.41.4

Friday 13 October 2023

• Minor change to login to prevent forum and bug track users being created until accounts are activated

Saturday 14 October 2023

• Improvements to waterway editing prompted by issue 1179
• fixed the return URL to show the waterway page
• fixed a typo that prevented the default options being regenerated (and so caused errors when a new waterway was excluded)
• changed the way the reasons for exclusion are presented using some spiffy stuff in HTML5 (thanks W3C)
• ensured that the reason for exclusion is shown in edit.
• Replaced nice "replaceAll" with messy regexp because of crappy browsers

→ Release 9.41.4.1

Sunday 15 October 2023

• Added a parameter-driven check for problems with email providers when creating accounts

Wednesday 18 October 2023

• Fixed the storage of user IDs when places are added
• Fixed the display of users in place history
• Manually patched the database for errors from the first

These collectively fix issue 1183

• Made the message check at build more parameter driven; supports the email providers check

→ Release 9.41.5

To Saturday 21 October 2023

• Lots of work on link-previews. They need some extra tagging of the data on pages, so am putting this live to allow the pages to be regenerated, while still fine-tuning the actual pop-ups (which I've therefore turned off for the moment)

Sunday 22 October 2023

• And now turned it on. Not worth a new version number.

→ Release 9.41.6

Monday 23 October 2023

• Tweak to stylesheet to prevent little blob on pages before you hover

→ Release 9.41.6.1

Friday 27 October 2023

• Added more preview links to the home page (information dynamically added there, so wasn't happening automatically)
• Slight improvement to catching errors in promises
• Added a warning message for whoever it is who uses Chrome 54 pointing out that things won't work properly.

→ Release 9.41.7

• Turned on previews for "nearest place on the waterways" on index page as well
• Fixed location resolution code for 'p:'

→ Release 9.41.7.1
