v4: playlists have categories of their own — a set apart from the dumps', which admins manage on /manage under "Playlist categories", next to "Dump categories". Each category now has a kind, dump or playlist, its slug and name unique within its kind only; migration 0025 rebuilds categories with the column, every existing one becoming a dump category with its dumps, and adds playlist_categories. A playlist's owner files it under any of them in the create and edit forms, and it shows them as chips on its card and its page, each leading to /playlists/<slug>.

lib

v4: playlists sort by their last dump, their creation or their size, and /playlists is a grid of covers — every list of playlists came newest first, so one fed every week sank under those made since and left empty. GET /api/playlists and /api/users/:key/playlists take ?sort=updated|new|dumps (PLAYLIST_SORTS, shared/playlist.ts), updated being the default: the last to take a dump first, or its creation while it holds none; a new title, cover or description doesn't bring it back up. A playlist carries that date as lastDumpAt, read with its dumpCount by isMemberVisibleTo's rule (VISIBLE_DUMP_FIGURES, the viewer's id as ?1), so the owner's private dumps date and count their playlists for them alone, in the lists and over the socket: playlist_created, playlist_updated and playlist_dumps_updated carry each socket's own. The /playlists page and a profile's playlists tab show the orders as tabs beside the category menu and keep the one picked in ?sort=, the default being the bare path; a tab takes the current history entry's place, and picking a category keeps the order. Live, usePlaylistListSync takes the list's order: a new playlist goes where it puts it, one that rises moves up to its place, as in the updated order when it takes a dump, and one that falls stays until the list is fetched again, its place being perhaps on a page not loaded. The lists in an order of their own, the followed playlists and the search's, pass none, and take no new playlist as before (noNewEntries goes). comparePlaylists is the order on the client, which a test holds to the API's.

mail

v4: every message named by an id carries its English in the code — the emails and the four pages that share their words called Lingui with a bare id (i18n._("digest.community"), <Trans id="digest.community" />), so their English lived only in a hand-kept en.po, extract couldn't run with --overwrite, and a page reading the code couldn't tell what it said. The emails now pass descriptors, i18n._({ id, message, values }), the form Lingui reads without a macro, as the server needs. The fifteen messages the digest shares with the community page, Settings, the unsubscribe page and the avatar menu are declared once, as /*i18n*/ descriptors in shared/digest-messages.ts, which those pages translate with useLingui()'s i18n instead of the global one. lingui.config.ts scans shared/ too, and i18n:extract runs with --overwrite, so en.po is written from the code. Every other message already used the macros. The compiled catalogs are unchanged, key for key, in both languages. 272 backend tests and 677 frontend tests pass, and deno check, tsc, eslint, doc:lint and i18n:compile --strict are clean.

middleware

v4: the API's JSON and the page are sent compressed — a page of the feed went out as it was, twenty kilobytes where a fifth does: only the built frontend's files were compressed, at build time, and Deno's server leaves alone a response whose length Oak has set. compressMiddleware (api/middleware/compress.ts), installed after the error middleware and around everything that sets a body, sends an object or array, and a string whose type its route set, in brotli or gzip as the request's Accept-Encoding takes, a coding refused with q=0 not being taken, from a kilobyte up, the threshold the build compresses from. Brotli is at quality 5, the frontend's files, compressed once, staying at 11. Files, streams and bytes, a response already encoded, a HEAD and one marked no-transform go out as they are, and a compressible answer says Vary: Accept-Encoding whether compressed or not.

remote

v4: ESLint and deno fmt pass on the whole tree again — html.ts's attribute pattern escaped a "/" its character class doesn't need escaped (no-useless-escape), and a line of journalLayout.test.ts ran past the width.

scripts

v3: comments say what the code can't — the documentation pass wanted JSDoc on every export and every field of an exported interface, which filled the code with restatements ("The dump.", "Whether it is loading.", "The props of X.", "Renders the X.") and module docs that told a reader nothing ("The hot and new feeds, and the props every main feed of the index takes."); some were wrong as well as vague. Every comment in api/, shared/ and src/ is rewritten under one rule, now stated in the README's "Comments" section: every module and export still has a JSDoc, and it gives context (who uses it and where), usage (what a caller must know: a precondition, what it leaves to the caller, a side effect) or its place in the chain (where its input comes from, where its output goes); a field, parameter, private function or local gets one only when it adds to its parent's, and context about a whole type goes on the type; a type's doc is phrased from the value's side ("Returned to Y by X when Z", "Passed to Y by X"); full sentences, as short as they can be, no label-colon-list; // goes wherever the code isn't obvious and says why, and the section banners and narration go. Every claim was checked against the code, which turned up some forty comments that were wrong: DumpCard's claimed it was only used by the hot and new feeds, the WebSocket welcome claimed to be a socket's first message (presence comes first), UpdateUserRequest said null removes a description (it keeps it), deletedDumpIds leaves out that it also holds dumps made private, THEME_COLOR claimed to mirror index.html's, and the like. The routers' JSDoc now says where they are mounted and what becomes of a thrown APIException. doc-lint.ts lets a field without a doc through; a module or export without one still fails. No code changes; 204 backend and 628 frontend tests pass, and doc:lint, deno check, deno lint and tsc are clean.

config.ts

v4: an instance that takes no users of others still blocks instances its own users may not sign in to — with GERBEUR_FEDERATION_INCOMING=0, /manage hid its list of instances, though a blocked one still kept the instance's users from signing in there, and no admin could block another. The list now stays while federated sign-in goes either way: without incoming sign-ins it shows and adds only blocked instances, the trusted ones kept for when they're back, and says what blocking does there. Where both ways are on, its note now says that users here can't sign in to a blocked instance either.
