Code Tour-A-Rama!

[axisofanarchy]

Okay so I'm a little new at this but I decided to try my hand at the code your. It was a lot of fun seeing how things outside of styles may work and I learned a lot. Thank you to exor76, fu, and foxfirefey for their help answering questions.

Bug 3513: clean-embed tests failing when memcached is disabled
Category: Misc Backend
Patch by: fu
Description: I'm honestly not entirely sure on this one. Asked in chat and checked the page. I have no clue.

Bug 2463: Update vcv to support git
Category: Site Administration
Patch by: fu
Description: This one is relatively simple. Vcv is a tool that Dreamwidth uses to pull code from various sources. This is an update to vcv so that it pulls from git repositories. Git is an amazing content management tool and this update changes the location of the repository so that we can continue to use git.

Bug 3518: %%vars%% have stopped being printed on Crosspost Settings
Category: Crossposter
Patch by: exor674
Description: The footers on the settings page were appearing broken and disappearing when someone has hit save. The %%vars%% include things such as URLs or any variable that uses %%anything%% to denote the content was appearing broken. This bug update fixed that and the footers should be working fine now.

Bug 3463: Styles: remove the H3 heading for subject icons
Category: Style System
Suggested by: ninetydegrees
Patch by: ninetydegrees
Description: This is an update to the headings in the icons in the style. When looking at a website there are various heading tags that can be used. The biggest and top title is H1 and there are others all the way down to H5 or H6. It didn't make sense to have the icons a step above the comment title in the hierarchy. This update removes the heading tag from the icons and restores the hierarchy of titles and paragraphs.

Bug 3476: Allow for customisation of the "Crossposts:" text.
Category: Style System
Suggested by: nonethefewer
Patch by: ninetydegrees
Description: This update basically allows users more freedom to customize the text of their Crossposts. Allowing for us to show our creativity isn't a bad thing. :)

Bug 3390: LJ::Entry->logtime_unix and LJ::Entry->modtime_unix return the same thing
Category: Journal contents
Patch by: fu
Description: This was a bit of a weird bug from what I've been hearing. The logtime is when the post was originally posted whereas the modtime is the modification time (if different than the log time). The modtime wasn't being used so this update resolved that and allowed the modtime to be used.

Category: Style System
Suggested by: foxfirefey

Bug 3469: Don't show backdated entries on Latest Things
Category: Journal contents
Suggested by: katherine

Bug 3491: Make Stylesheet Text Box Larger
Category: Style System
Suggested by: stormy
Patch by: denise
Description: Having a larger textbox makes for less scrolling when coding Custom CSS. If you're a complicated styles person, this update is for you!

Bug 2369: Avoid reading page spam when creating feeds
Category: Misc Backend
Suggested by: rho

Bug 3462: Remove the black border from quick reply

I AM IN LOVE.

[ninetydegrees]

So you're not disappointed: it's still there on site pages but it's much less noticeable.

[marahmarie]

Yeah, me too. I was so excited about this one I actually drooled over it in my journal. :)

[yvi]

Description: Notifications are no longer opening in new windows.

Minor correction: It means that the links in inbox notifications, like "Reply" are no longer opening in a new window.

[axisofanarchy]

Ah ha! Correcting now. Thank you. :)
