There's a new menu layout in this version of the software. It was
implemented as a plugin in 0.9.x to avoid clashes with existing themes,
but we're going to break that compatibility in this version, so we're just going for it.
This change involved moving all the changes in NewMenuPlugin into the
default code that was calling it. In addition, since
accountsettingsaction and connectsettingsaction differed only by menu,
I removed them, changed all references to them to the settingsmenu, and moved
the combined nav to its own class.
Let's put that episode behind us.
The CSS shim that was loaded by NewMenuPlugin for certain themes and certain actions
was removed.
SubMirror: redid add-mirror frontend to accept a feed URL, then pass that on to OStatus, instead of pulling from your subscriptions.
Profile: tweaked subscriberCount() so it doesn't subtract 1 for foreign profiles who aren't subscribed to themselves; instead excludes the self-subscription in the count query.
Memcached_DataObject: tweak to avoid extra error spew in the DB error raising
Work in progress: tweaking feedsub garbage collection so we can count other uses
The UI for setup and editing is a bit nasty for now. Can be reached via 'Mirroring' tab in account settings, or from a link at top of subscriptions list.
Currently relies on the OStatus plugin to handle actual setup, parsing, and importing of feeds; to support more general feed formatting we may need some further work there to accept weird feeds.
Also requires an actual live subscription, but this could be changed in future. (Ensuring that PSHB feed subscriptions remain live even if nobody's directly subscribed might be tricky.)
The repeat style is our preferred method since it retains full attribution, but right now we don't handle repeats very well across site boundaries; when pushed out to Twitter or to other StatusNet instances via OStatus, currently we end up losing some of the data and can end up with the 'RT @blah' version.
WARNING: There's no loop detection yet; it's most likely possible to set up a fun loop of profiles repeating each others' stuff forever and ever and ever and ever...
