- /sync/meta now returns a dictionary
- it includes the following extra fields
- msg: if non-empty, show this message at the end of the sync
- cont: if false, show above message and abort sync
- uname: the user's email address, so it can be stored by the local client to
show users who have forgotten which email address they used. in the future
this will be saved only when logging in, so do a conditional access on it
Python used to use C-style division, where division of two ints was
truncated, and division involving a float resulted in a float.
This is confusing, because you often can't tell from looking at a
line of code in isolation what sort of division it's supposed to do.
With 'from __future__ import division' Python ensures that division is
always explicit.
// means (floored) integer division
/ means float division
regardless of argument types.
This should make the source a bit clearer now, as well as removing one
obstacle if Anki is ever ported to Python 3.
- server will log mismatches so we don't require people to post on the forums
anymore or manually force a full sync
- if we find problems like missing notes, report that in the sanity check so
the server can keep track of problems
- when the server detects a conflict it can immediately abort the sync, so a
subsequent sync will no longer report a conflict
