- cram decks no longer pull cards from other cram decks, as tests like is:due
don't make sense on crammed decks
- cram decks now default to not overriding the original deck's steps
- remove obsolote dyn_failed sort order - have to fix this in upgrade
- search/limit/order properties have been merged into a list, in case we may
want to support multiple queries in the future (eg 10 cards from tag A, 20
cards from tag B)
- added a resched option to disable boosting/failure - not yet implemented
- added an unused flag to allow cards to persist in the cram deck after
graduation. implementing this will take some work and won't come in 2.0
- instead of is:filtereddeck, use deck:filtered
When a user has learning steps that extend past the daily cutoff, we end up
counting them all instead of only the ones that would be done today. In order
to avoid this without expensive calculations or db schema changes, we
calculate the number of steps until the daily cutoff and pack it into the left
column, as totalLeft + leftToday*1000.
In preparation for cramming:
- add odid for storing old deck on a per-card basis
- rename edue to odue
- at the moment note.did still exists, but in the future we may ignore it and
use model.did instead

- change sched index to the more efficient gid, queue, due
- drop the dynamic index support. as there's no no q/a cache anymore, it's
cheap enough to hit the cards table directly, and we can't use the index in
its new form.
- drop order by clauses (see todo)
- ensure there's always an active group. if users want to study all groups at
once, they need to create a top level group. we do this because otherwise
the 'top level group' that's active when everything is selected is not
clear.
to do:
- new cards will appear in gid order, but the gid numbers don't reflect
alphabetical sorting. we need to change the scheduling code so that it steps
through each group in turn
- likewise for the learn queue
because group deletions are likely to be a semi-common operation (esp. for new users trying out shared material), deleting groups will no longer cause a full sync. in order to avoid syncing issues, we now allow cards/facts/etc to point to an invalid group, and in that case, we just treat them like they're in the default group
As per the forum thread, the current due counts are really demotivating when
there's a backlog of cards. In attempt to solve this, I'm trying out a new
behaviour as the default: instead of reporting all the due cards including the
backlog, the status bar will show an increasing count of cards studied that
day. Theoretically this should allow users to focus on what they've done
rather than what they have to do. The old behaviour is still there as an option.
the initial plan was to zero the creation time and leave the cards/facts there
until we have a chance to garbage collect them on a schema change, but such an
approach won't work with deck subscriptions
