It's less of a problem that one queue-item does not get handled, attention wise,
than that the queue keeps filling up. The typical error raised here is 'already exists'
so it's not even the case that the item won't get handled (it already has been).
The real problem is that the queue_item table accepts duplicates (content-wise) which it
should not.
No validation has been attempted yet. Lots of changes left. This
is visibly not (very) different from the previous CSS layout. But
some simplifications have been made.
Might cause issues with local changes to themes and CSS. Also maybe
javascript which depends on certain legacy microformats elements.
The move to microformats2 is motivated by the announcement that all
microformats should be migrated to version 2, as of 2014-06-20 at:

This also fixes a problem with "initial salmon slap", which was a
problem for newly registered accounts which would have their first
salmon slap fail to distribute since there was a problem with Magicsig
keys. Apparently we have to re-read them with importKeys so the
Crypt_RSA objects publicKey and privateKey match later instances of them.
I think it may have been that generate() doesn't specify a signatureMode,
but I leave experimentation of that to the future.
We don't run a service similar to update.status.net yet. Maybe we should,
but that's for the future to decide. Currently I view it as a callback
that we want to avoid.
htmLawed cleans stuff out properly, but there's no very good way right
now to show text/html attachments, since everything gets jumbled up with
our own CSS etc. Best would be an iframe or just a new tab or so.
Conversation trees works pretty bad with the current layout, javascript
etc. So it's best if we separate it and work on it as a side-project. The
oldschool settings are currently being deprecated (or broken out like this).
I'll wait with removing User preferences for oldschool conversation tree,
since that might be reusable data. But I guess it will go in the near future.
Make the logic match the intent described in the comments.
The intent is clearly "accept notices whenever (A or B or C)", but
the logic implemented was more like "not ((not A) or (not B) or (not C))",
which is a basical boolean algebra fail (each of those ORs need to
become ANDs for double-negation to work).
The practical implication was that, for example, writing a reply
to someone else's notice and including an @-reference to _another_
user on another site to bring them into the discussion would
fail to deliver the notice to the new user because their server
would basically say `oh no, you can't message this user
from someone else's thread' because an earlier check for
the `A' or `C' parts of `(A or B or C)' prevents `B' from
being checked.
cf.: <http://status.hackerposse.com/notice/55846>, which was
refused by the nhcrossing.com server because it didn't know
about <http://sn.jonkman.ca/notice/93724>, even though it would
have passed the later `notice contains a reference to a local user'
check if not for an exception being prematurely thrown.
The whole idea of reporting `which specific check FAILED'
in an `if ANY SUCCEEDS' analysis is just bogus, so nix all of
the distinct ClientExceptions--a single `ALL FAILED' exception
is the only one that makes sense.

Also, tooltip text on time representation for humans has been improved.
Unfortunately no standardised representation (like "RFC850") had 4-digit years.
The File object now stores width and height of files that can
supply this kind of information. Formats which we can not read
natively in PHP do not currently benefit from this. However an
event hook will be introduced later.
The CreateFileImageThumbnail event is renamed to:
CreateFileImageThumbnailSource to clarify that the hooks should not
generate their own thumbnails but only the source image. Also it now
accepts File objects, not MediaFile objects.
The thumbnail generation is documented in the source code. For
developers, call 'getThumbnail' on a File object and hope for the best.
Default thumbnail sizes have increased to be more appealing.
