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
The stats table was how the early non-SQL versions of Anki kept track of
statistics, before there was a revision log. It is being removed because:
- it's not possible to show the statistics for a subset of the deck
- it can't meaningfully be copied on import/export
- it makes it harder to implement sync merging
Implications:
- graphs and deck stats roughly 1.5-3x longer than before, but we'll have the
ability to generate stats for subsections of the deck, and it's not time
critical code
- people who've been using anki since the very early days may notice a drop in
statistics, as early repetitions were recorded in the stats table but the
revlog didn't exist at that point.
- due bugs in old syncs and imports/exports, the stats and revlog may not
match numbers exactly
To remove it, the following changes have been made:
- the graphs and deck stats now generate their data entirely from the revlog
- there are no stats to keep track of how many cards we've answered, so we
pull that information from the revlog in reset()
- we remove _globalStats and _dailyStats from the deck
- we check if a day rollover has occurred using failedCutoff instead
- we remove the getStats() routine
- the ETA code is currently disabled
- timeboxing routines use repsToday instead of stats
- remove stats delete from export
- remove stats table and index in upgrade
- remove stats syncing and globalStats refresh pre-sync
- remove stats count check in fullSync check, which was redundant anyway
- update unit tests
Also:
- newCountToday -> newCount, to bring it in line with revCount&failedCount
which also reflect the currently due count
- newCount -> newAvail
- timeboxing routines renamed since the old names were confusingly similar to
refreshSession() which does something different
Todo:
- update newSeenToday & repsToday when answering a card
- reimplement eta
Calculating the average on startup is expensive on mobile devices. It might be
nice to provide it as a deck option or per-model setting in the future so that
people can specify how hard their material is and have it treated accordingly.
