Changes to the site this week:
November 11, 2024:
- SYSADMIN: Doubled the capacity of the web servers to work to address site sluggishness issues.
November 13, 2024:
- BUGFIX: The code that detected which requests were from bots was missing some bots, causing extra load on the systems from should-be-banned bots.
- CHANGE: Banned some new bots and IP addresses that were abusing the service.
- CHANGE: When blocking a bot, we now return the Forbidden HTTP status; previously we were returning Not Found.
- APP CHANGE: When entering a chat, there were instances where, even if the app has permission to send notifications, we weren't storing the notification token correctly, and therefore not sending notifications.
November 15, 2024:
- BUGFIX: Some videos sent as attachments would play upside down on the website.
- BUGFIX: When attempting to play some very large videos on the website, an error was shown instead.
The next #changelog will be published on November 22, 2024.
Take care everyone.
