because field formatting is always on now, users with custom font
sizes/families set only on the card will still have to alter their templates
and either configure the fields or replace the references with triple
curly braces
- move latex preamble into a deck var and include amsmath by default
- include the pre/postamble in the hash, so changes to the preamble result in
newly generated images
- latex now slots in to the formatQA hook to render images in the q/a
- moved call() to utils
- cache/uncache latex have been obsoleted. User can delete manually, and
images will be regenerated with a DB check
- media is no longer hashed, and instead stored in the db using its original
name
- when adding media, its checksum is calculated and used to look for
duplicates
- duplicate filenames will result in a number tacked on the file
- the size column is used to count card references to media. If media is
referenced in a fact but not the question or answer, the count will be zero.
- there is no guarantee media will be listed in the media db if it is unused
on the question & answer
- if rebuildMediaDir(delete=True), then entries with zero references are
deleted, along with any unused files in the media dir.
- rebuildMediaDir() will update the internal checksums, and set the checksum
to "" if a file can't be found
- rebuildMediaDir() is a lot less destructive now, and will leave alone
directories it finds in the media folder (but not look in them either)
- rebuildMediaDir() returns more information about the state of media now
- the online and mobile clients will need to to make sure that when
downloading media, entries with no checksum are non-fatal and should not
abort the download process.
- the ref count is updated every time the q/a is updated - so the db should be
up to date after every add/edit/import
- since we look for media on the q/a now, card templates like '<img
src="{{{field}}}">' will work now
- export original files as gone as it is not needed anymore
- move from per-model media URL to deckVar. downloadMissingMedia() uses this
now. Deck subscriptions will have to be updated to share media another way.
- pass deck in formatQA, as latex support is going to change
this bypasses rebuilding the queue and other startup initialization and thus
loads the deck considerably faster. This is useful when you want to perform
operations on the deck like syncing, but don't need the ability to review
cards
- obsolete spaceUntil - it serves no useful purpose
- the old per-model spacing variables are obsolete, as the new approach
requires uniform spacing across all models for new cards
- introduce a new per-deck variable: newSpacing
- don't fill new queue if we've done today's cards
- still need to check cramming / review early
newSpacing is a time in seconds to delay introduction of sibling new cards.
It can be applied as many times as necessary as there is no harm in new cards
being delayed repeatedly. Because the default queue length is 200 and it can
take quite some time for the spaced cards to be placed in the queue again, we
use a separate array to track spaced new cards provided the configured delay
is less than 20 minutes. At times under 20 minutes this number is not a
guaranteed minimum spacing - if the new card queue is empty the spaced cards
will be flushed before checking the new queue again, as otherwise we end up
trying to fill on every repetition. The due counts no longer decrease by more
than one if the spacing is less than the due cutoff, since that confused some
users.
Review cards are now placed at the end of the current review queue, and will
never be rescheduled to a different day. The old approach had a number of
problems:
- the more card models you had, the more likely a card would be spaced
multiple times, resulting in you forgetting the card before you get a chance
to review it
- spacing was applied even if the due card was already late
- repeatedly failing one card over a period of days or weeks would also stave
the other cards of attention
- the local deck name must now match the online deck
- syncName is a hash of the current deck's path or None
- the hash is checked on deck load, and if it is different (because the deck
was copied or moved), syncing is disabled. This should prevent people from
accidentally clobbering their online decks
