Bug fixes

  • Fix a problem where occasionally the set of public annotations would be loaded into the initial view rather than the set of annotations for the focused group (feature flagged: groups) (#2684).
  • Fix a bug where creating an annotation when signed out (and subsequently signing in and saving it) could result in invalid permissions fields (#2687).
  • Fix a problem in Safari where the search box didn’t expand when you clicked on it (#2699).
  • Fix improper case-sensitivity for tag searches (e.g. searches for “Tag123” now correctly return annotations tagged with “tag123”) (#2690).

Features

  • Ignore the “gclid” query parameter (a Google AdWords click-tracking param) when normalising URLs (72f0509).
  • Draft annotations are now preserved when switching from group to group in the sidebar (#2689).

Miscellanea

  • Improvements to Sentry logging (the current URL, headers, and userid are now recorded with exceptions) (#2697).
  • Show the werkzeug debugger on exceptions in development (#2698).

0.7.10 (2015-10-28)

Bug fixes

  • Fix a problem where an incorrect search query was sent to our server due to semicolons in the page URL (6513184).

0.7.9 (2015-10-28)

Bug fixes

  • Fix a problem where activating the Chrome extension would obliterate a version of Hypothesis embedded on the page (#2657).
  • Fix a visual issue causing the “Clear selection” and “Clear search” buttons to be briefly visible when they shouldn’t have been (#2668).
  • Fix a crash triggered when the set of connected WebSocket clients changed while handling a message (#2647).
  • Fix a bug where cancelling leaving a group nonetheless resulted in group focus changing (#2669).

Features

  • Improved appearance and behaviour of the sort control for annotations (feature flagged: groups) (#2643).
  • Replies now inherit the publication scope of their parents. That is: replies to group annotations will go to the same group (#2650).
  • Support HTTP conditional responses (ETag/If-None-Match and Last-Modified/If-Modified-Since) under appropriate conditions (#2664).
  • Groups landing pages now show a list of recently annotated pages (feature flagged: groups) (#2667).

  • Account settings and profile forms are now rendered by the server (#2636).
  • The Chrome extension can now be built in a way that allows distinguishing between development versions of the extension and production ones (#2639).
  • No longer perform the URI expansion step when searching for annotations on URLs which have been marked “canonical”. This hopefully reduces the number of false-positive annotations we load on pages with appropriate metadata (#2652).
  • Replace group public IDs (hashids) with randomly generated IDs (#2662).

0.7.8 (2015-10-20)

Bug fixes

  • Improved appearance and behaviour of the sidebar “top bar” (partially feature flagged: groups) (#2616).

Miscellanea

  • Joining a group from a signed out state is now easier (#2625).

  • Annotators are now able to select the privacy of their annotations before they are able to save them (#2601).
  • The component that fetches feature flag data for the frontend will no longer busy-poll the ajax endpoint if it receives an error (#2612).

Features

  • Add the ability to leave a group (feature flagged: groups) (#2588).
  • Notify the frontend in real time, using the websocket, when groups are joined/left (feature flagged: groups) (#2591).
  • Truncate long annotation quotes and bodies (feature flagged: truncate_annotations) (#2451).

Miscellanea

  • Accounts forms (login/register/forgot password) are now rendered by the server (#2582).

  • Improve the appearance of the user flow when joining a group (#2577).

Miscellanea

  • Deprecate the use of SQLite in development environments (#2579).

0.7.5 (2015-10-01)

Bug fixes

  • Fix a bug where cancelling a change to an annotation did not reset changes to the annotation text (#2562).
  • Fix the broken email notification system (#2558).
  • Fix a crash caused by submitting an annotation with null document “link” fields (#2520).

Features

0.7.4 (2015-09-25)

Bug fixes

  • Support retrieving comments (“page notes”) through search when using new normalized URI search (feature flagged: groups) (#2549).
  • Fix standalone annotation pages failing to display their annotation (92010c1).
  • Fix unanchored annotation warnings displaying in the wrong places (feature flagged: show_unanchored_annotations) (#2542).
  • Fix a bug where newly created annotations would sometimes disappear from the sidebar for a few moments (#2542).
  • Fix display of page titles on some annotation cards (#2533).
  • Fix a couple of crashes when annotations were created without expected fields (#2545, #2546).

0.7.3 (2015-09-22)

  • Remove the need to patch the global window object (upgrade to dom-anchor-* v2.0.0).
  • Added a stream RSS feed at /stream.rss.

0.7.2 (2015-08-14)

Bug fixes

  • Fixed a regression that prevented infinite scroll from working on the stream.

Features

  • Improve scrolling performance by using a fluidly sized body and scrolling the whole document rather than a fixed body.
  • Rewrite infinite scroll pagination to use regular HTTP requests instead of WebSocket.

0.7.1 (2015-08-13)

Bug fixes

  • Clicking on annotation cards and the navigational bucket indicators should work once more in the PDF.js viewer.
  • Fixed an issue with timezone localization that caused unnecessary errors to be thrown and caught. Auditing this resulted in a removal of some significant bloat from unnecessary code.

Features

  • When sorting annotations by document location the TextPositionSelector information is now used instead of highlight position information. This causes less shuffling and re-rendering on load and when lazy-rendered pages in the PDF.js viewer appear and disappear at the cost of seeing annotations that have changed position or that target content within fixed position containers sometimes appear to be out of order.
  • Removed an unnecessary call, originating in the infinite scrolling code, from the sidebar widget.

0.7.0 (2015-08-10)

Bug fixes

Features
