Olá de Lisboa! (I'm in Lisbon right now for work...)

Thank you everybody who has tested on canary - I'm about to push the code up to stable. I know that not everything has been tested and there's a lot in this deploy, so I expect some things to break or be weird. We have ported a lot more of the "older" pages to the newer formats, so there will be some UI changes in a few places, but it shouldn't be anything too major.

Watch for: One thing I know will require tuning, we now have added rate limits (which basically allows us to control how rapidly DW pages are loaded.) This is a protection mostly designed against bots, but any time in my career I've rolled out new rate limits, I've learned someone is hitting them and they have to be tuned. So if you see them, please let me know!

Anyway please do comment and I'll work to fix things today. We also have a rollback ready in case we need to (and I'll be honest, I expect we may need to... we really should do more frequent deploys.)

Known Issues

  • Fixed: Search has gone walkabout.
  • Fixed: Some UI weirdness with Manage Tags.
  • Fixed: Login redirects are not working.
  • Fixed: Login page sometimes returning 'invalid form submission.'
  • Fixed: Rename keywords checkbox on icons page also gone walkabout.
  • Fixed: Uploading large icon files erroring / not going to the image editor.

As always, thank you for your patience and supporting our scrappy little service!

More moral panic is being spread amongst institutions in Portugal. Rumours say that a therian creature has attempted consulting a veterinarian for treatment. Verónica Veglia, the president of the College of Veterinarians of San Luis claims that that two adults (ages between 30 and 40 years old), one in the role of the "master", have entered a veterynary clinic in San Luis for a consultation due to flu-like symptoms. The Portugal News states that "Portugal currently has no official records of veterinarians facing such consultation requests" (though there are sources that claim that the event has been recorded by visitors. I have not found such proof, however I do not speak Portuguese, so there are certain limitations to what I information I can access). Despite this, the OMV is said to have issued internal guidelines on how to approach such patients. Veglia said that "Obviously, we are already getting advice from the body of lawyers we have and precisely with the local College of Psychologists" (translated with Google Translate), as they are of the opinion that this situation requires attention in terms of mental health.
