- removed 'created' column from various tables. We don't care when things like
models are created, and card creation time didn't reflect the actual time a
card was created
- facts were previously ordered by their creation date. The code would
manually set the creation time for subsequent facts on import by 0.0001
seconds, and then card due times were set by adding the fact time to the
ordinal number*0.000001. This was prone to error, and the number of zeros used
was actually different in different parts of the code. Instead of this, we
replace it with a 'pos' column on facts, which increments for each new fact.
- importing should add new facts with a higher pos, but concurrent updates in
a synced deck can have multiple facts with the same pos
- due times are completely different now, and depend on the card type
- new cards have due=fact.pos or random(0, 10000)
- reviews have due set to an integer representing days since deck
creation/download
- cards in the learn queue use an integer timestamp in seconds
- many columns like modified, lastSync, factor, interval, etc have been converted to
integer columns. They are cheaper to store (large decks can save 10s of
megabytes) and faster to search for.
- cards have their group assigned on fact creation. In the future we'll add a
per-template option for a default group.
- switch to due/random order for the review queue on upgrade. Users can still
switch to the old behaviour if they want, but many people don't care what
it's set to, and due is considerably faster, which may result in a better
user experience
Cards had developed quite a lot of cruft from incremental changes, and a
number of important attributes were stored in names that had no bearing to
their actual use.
Added:
- position, which new cards will be sorted on in the future
- flags, which is reserved for future use
Renamed:
- type to queue
- relativeDelay to type
- noCount to lapses
Removed:
- all new/young/matureEase counts; the information is in the revlog
- firstAnswered, lastDue, lastFactor, averageTime and totalTime for the same
reason
- isDue, spaceUntil and combinedDue, because they are no longer used. Spaced
cards will be implemented differently in a coming commit.
- priority
- yesCount, because it can be inferred from reps & lapses
- tags; they've been stored in facts for a long time now
Also compatibility with deck versions less than 65 has been dropped, so decks
will need to be upgraded to 1.2 before they can be upgraded by the dev code.
All shared decks are on 1.2, so this should hopefully not be a problem.
- rename to revlog
- change the pk to time, as we want an index on time, and the old multi-column
index was expensive and not useful
- remove yes/no count; they can be inferred from the ease
- remove lastFactor, as it's in the previous entry
- remove delay, it can be inferred from last entry
- remove 'next' from nextInterval and nextFactor
- rename 'thinkingTime' to 'userTime'
- rename reps to rep
- migrate old data to new table, and fix some problems in the process: ease0
-> ease1, and limit thinking time to 60 seconds as it should have been
previously
