Actions

Summary of changes from March 17, 2017 to March 24, 2017.

• These changes were promoted to stable.

General

• The Badges application is no longer a prototype. This application allows you to create badges and award them to users in recognition of groundbreaking achievements.
• Reviewers in Differential have moved to dedicated storage. This involves a migration which may require significant downtime (106 seconds on this install, with 17,500 revisions).
• Resigning from a revision now removes it from your action dashboard.
• Users can now resign from revisions if a package or project they are a member of is a reviewer, even if they are not themselves a reviewer.
• When accepting a revision, users can now choose to accept on behalf of a subset of user, package, and project reviewers they have authority over.

Security

• No notes in this period.

Migrations

"Duration" is the duration for this install, and may not be representative.

Upgrading / Compatibility

• This period includes an expensive migration. See notes in "General".

Phacility SAAS

• Free instances are now subject to automatic suspension after prolonged periods of inactivity.

Daemons

• The PullLocal daemon now hibernates.
• The Taskmaster daemon now hibernates.
• Daemon modules may now awaken hibernating daemons.
• Many minor daemon behaviors have been improved.
• Overseers now setsid() after daemonizing, so they should no longer catch stray signals from controlling processes in unusual conditions.
• Daemons now have a navigation menu on mobile.
• The description of "Waiting" daemons now mentions hibernation.

Minor

• We no longer use -- to separate flags and arguments in git ls-remote, because older versions of Git do not support it.
• Dashboard panels can now be created directly from query result pages using Use Results → Add to Dashboard.
• Dashboards is now a pinned applicaton by default.
• Fixed an issue where editing a comment which mentioned an object with missing required fields could raise a required field error.
• Fixed an issue where users could incorrectly receive an "Override Lock" prompt if the default view policy for Maniphest tasks did not include them.
• Fixed an issue where not all possible avatars actually generated, and bizarro avatars from a negative universe attempted to generate on 32-bit systems.
• When rendered as dashboard panels, bucked Audit and Differential query results now hide empty buckets.
• Destroying a Calendar event now destroys data more exhaustively.
• The Conduit API console now shows a hint about submitting a request to learn how to encode the request data.
• So long, serifs.
