When you call operations like deleteCards(), suspendCards() and so on, it is
now necessary to call deck.reset() afterwards. This allows the calling code to
delay a reset if necessary. If the calling code calls a function that says the
caller must reset, the caller should be sure to call .reset() and fetch the
current card again. Failure to do the latter will result in answerCard()
attempting to remove the card from the queue, when the queue has been cleared.
In various parts of the code we need to get all cards of a given category
(new, failed, etc) regardless of whether they're suspended, buried, etc. So we
store the true type in the obsolete relativeDelay column and add in index for
it, because it's cheaper than putting indices on reps & successive.
* Adjust type to remove cards from the queues, so we don't have to rebuild
priorities to restore them:
Type -= 3 when suspending
Type += 3 when burying
Type += 6 when cramming / reviewing early
We still need to adjust priorities for backwards compatibility, but this can
be removed in the future.
* Factor out scheduler-specific code in answerCard(), so the different
schedulers are now fully modular
* Differentiate between a card's current queue and its type
* Make sure dueCutoff cuts off at the chosen offset instead of midnight
Previously we used getCard() to fetch a card at the time. This required a
number of indices to perform efficiently, and the indices were expensive in
terms of disk space and time required to keep them up to date. Instead we now
gather a bunch of cards at once.
- Drop checkDue()/isDue so writes are not necessary to the DB when checking
for due cards
- Due counts checked on deck load, and only updated once a day or at the end
of a session. This prevents cards from expiring during reviews, leading to
confusing undo behaviour and due counts that go up instead of down as you
review. The default will be to only expire cards once a day, which represents
a change from the way things were done previously.
- Set deck var defaults on deck load/create instead of upgrade, which should
fix upgrade issues
- The scheduling code can now have bits and pieces switched out, which should
make review early / cram etc easier to integrate
- Cards with priority <= 0 now have their type incremented by three, so we can
get access to schedulable cards with a single column.
- rebuildQueue() -> reset()
- refresh() -> refreshSession()
- Views and many of the indices on the cards table are now obsolete and will
be removed in the future. I won't remove them straight away, so as to not
break backward compatibility.
- Use bigger intervals between successive card templates, as the previous
intervals were too small to represent in doubles in some circumstances
Still to do:
- review early
- learn more
- failing mature cards where delay1 > delay0
this has the negative effect of causing multiple full syncs if syncing
multiple times within a 5 minute period of the previous full sync, but it
makes it much less likely that people's due counts will fall out of sync
- never bump deck mod while syncing
- set lastSync to current time, not deck modified time
- don't update lastSync until the final part of the sync
- lower clock skew allowance to ~5 minutes
- bump full sync threshold to 1000 modified items
