Gotta revive the thread since a lot have changed in the meantime, now that the zarty also uses it I had to add many features to facilitate the migration, but also a few others to close the feature gap with Vichan.

New features (since the last post):

  • stats panel on the home page: showing the number of posts, users, total file size etc.
  • LaTeX rendering, extended Markdown syntax: checkboxes, heading references, spoilers, blue text
  • login redirects: opening a link that requires being logged-in redirects to the login page and then back to the original destination
  • configurable default forum view: either the thread list, index, or catalog, required for Vichan compatibility
  • user mentions: using the @user syntax
  • ability to paste/drop files on the post form: with inline references added automatically when dropped on the text area
  • automatic captcha on abnormal CPU usage: enabled by monitoring CPU usage in the background, should detect spam automatically
  • viewing the original post markup: the link is present in the post menu
  • Vichan imports: importing posts, IP notes, pages, and bans
  • upload progress when making a new post: visible on the submit button
  • marking replies to OP: (OP) visible after the reply
  • random 404 images: a new images can be added in the 404 directory
  • latest posts list on the home page: I should make this one configurable though, doesn't look good here
  • extended allowed files list: FLAC, OGG, ZIP, TAR, XCF, SWF, M4V, BMP
  • simple bot detection: most of the bots self-identify as such, some can be detected by inconsistent headers, but there are still many that aren't identified for now; this also affects thread view updating (configurable whether include bots or not), the online user list
  • search improvements: including highlighting the searched text within the found posts
  • thread ordering: available in catalog and thread list view
  • user flags: also known as rizz/vril
  • oekaki: self-explanatory
  • multiple appeals per ban: with a 1 week timeout by default, configurable
  • forum, thread, attachment hiding: there are buttons to filter out threads from a board in overboard, hide threads, gray out images
  • configurable bookmark and edit button positions: available in the settings tab

Misc. improvements:

  • missing icons for restricted, anonymous threads and threads with proxy status visible added
  • various CSS improvements, including extracting the common CSS part to a separate file, delegating colors etc. to theme files
  • current version is now shown in the footer
  • captcha is possible to pass by clicking anywhere when the captcha images are missing
  • limit the max age of deleted posts when mass deleting posts by IP or user
  • migrated the HTML templates to a different library for 2-5x rendering speed-up
  • all external processes used for thumbnails, exif removal etc. are now executed within a sandbox
  • changed the URL schema, /forum/, /thread/ fragments were rather useless
  • placeholders for deleted files instead of nothing
  • a ton of performance improvements
  • new diagnostic administration links for monitoring resource usage, file consistency and removing stray files (which I needed to remove when working on Vichan import) etc.
  • fixes for bugs with embeds, attachments
