Reason: until now, PostSearchService was using magic to get around the biggest
limitation of SqlQuery.php: it didn't support arbitrary order of operations.
You couldn't join with something and tell then to select something from it.
Additionally, forging UPDATE queries was a joke. The new Sql* classes replace
SqlQuery completely and address these issues. Using Sql* classes might be
tedious and ugly at times, but it is necessary step to improve model layer
maintainability.
It is by no menas complete implementation of SQL grammar, but for current needs
it's enough, and, what's most important, it is easily extensible.
Additional changes:
* Added sorting style aliases
- fav_count
- tag_count
- comment_count
* Sorting by multiple tokens in post search is now possible
* Searching for disliked posts with "special:disliked" always yields results
(even if user has disabled showing disliked posts by default)
* More maintainable next/prev post support
Following privileges for post actions can now understand different settings for
everyone and for uploader:
* Scoring posts
* Featuring posts
* Flagging posts
* Favoriting posts
Additionally, privilege for flagging users can now understand different
settings for everyone and for the user that is currently logged in.
In other words: with this update admin can configure privileges so that scoring
own posts or flagging oneself will be prohibited, while scoring other people's
posts or flagging others will be okay.
CSS for comments wasn't included in post-view.phtml. This manifested when user
posted a comment thruogh it (AJAX requests don't append CSS from AJAXed pages,
so added it in parent view).
Styles, scripts and page titles are no longer set from controllers level.
Changed because it was breaking MVC pattern and led to spaghetti code.
Also, optimized JS/CSS inclusions a bit.
Pages load 1.5-2x faster
Exception trace in JSON is now represented as an array
Fixed pagination of default favorites page in user pages
Fixed thumbnail size validation for non-square thumbnails
