- tweak sync code so that a failure in loading the collection
won't leave the app with an unopen collection
- don't show corrupt collection message when the error is not
a db error
- catch the temp folder issue when loading the collection. i suspect
this was the issue that was causing some people to end up with
an open anki instance with no collection loaded
- get rid of shared memory check as it was causing problems when an existing
session was forcefully closed; instead we rely on the socket
- include a hash of the user's name in the key so that multiple users can run
anki at the same time
- /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
First, burying changes:
- unburying now happens on day rollover, or when manually unburying from
overview screen
- burying is not performed when returning to deck list, or when closing
collection, so burying now must mark cards as modified to ensure sync
consistent
- because they're no longer temporary to a session, make sure we exclude them
in filtered decks in -is:suspended
Sibling spacing changes:
- core behaviour now based on automatically burying related cards when we
answer a card
- applies to reviews, optionally to new cards, and never to cards in the
learning queue (partly because we can't suspend/bury cards in that queue at
the moment)
- this means spacing works consistently in filtered decks now, works on
reviews even when user is late to review, and provides better separation of
new cards
- if burying new cards disabled, we just discard them from the current queue.
an option to set due=ord*space+due would be nicer, but would require
changing a lot of code and is more appropriate for a future major version
change. discarding from queue suffers from the same issue as the new card
cycling in that queue rebuilds may cause cards to be shown close together,
so the default burying behaviour is preferable
- refer to them as 'related cards' rather than 'siblings'
These changes don't require any changes to the database format, so they
should hopefully coexist with older clients without issue.
