v3.0.31
This release will address the performance drops (page loading speed) specifically on the Teach and Learn pages. The main queryset originally took 2-3 seconds to complete which was terribly inefficient, and has been reduced down to 350ms.
There are two more bottlenecks (Notifications and Popular Correctors) that will be addressed in a future update.
This release will also remove the friends only
post permission due to lack of use (~ 0.2% usage). Some users were also abusing this permission to keep up their streaks by posting really low effort/placeholder journals. Please report these journals so we can remove them from the site!
v3.0.33
This release will introduce a new and vastly superior notification system (django-notifications). It is also packed with a small performance increase compared to our previous notification system.
Please note that we will not be migrating over the old notifications into the new one → this means that all past notifications will be deleted permanently.
Here are some notable changes:
- The notification panel will now only show unread notifications, and will no longer automatically mark items as read.
- There is now a button to clear all unread notifications.
- There is currently no grouped corrections until PR #249 gets merged, or a fork implemented.
- There is no live loading → you will need to manually reload the page to see new notifications.
- It will now take you directly to the notification event.
Additional notifications types have been added:
- When someone likes your journal
- When someone has updated a sentence they have corrected
- When someone has deleted a sentence they have corrected or marked as perfect
- When someone has updated or deleted their reply
- When someone you are following publishes a new prompt
New
- The Corrections Received page will now display a sidebar with counts of your total sentences written, total sentences marked as perfect, and total sentences corrected.
