4.4.0

🚀 New Features

• [BBCode]
  • Thanks to the new HTML to BBCode converter introduced with faapi 3.8.0, submissions, journals, and user profiles can now be stored in BBCode format instead of the raw HTML
  • BBCode mode can be toggled on and off using the new database bbcode command
  • BBCode mode greatly improves search results by removing HTML boilerplate, and reduces the size of the database
  • Warning: HTML to BBCode conversion (and vice versa) is still a work in progress, and it may cause some content to be lost, so a backup of the database should be made before changing the setting
• Database doctor 🩺
  • New database doctor command to check entries for errors and fix them when possible
  • Users are checked for inconsistencies in their name to make sure that they can be properly matched with their submissions, journals, and comments
  • Submissions are checked with their thumbnails and files to ensure they are consistent, and the program will attempt to add files that are in the submission folder but are not saved in the database
  • Comments are checked against their parents, if the parent object does not exist then the comment is deleted if the --allow-deletion option was used with database doctor
• Headers and footers
  • Submissions and journals now support headers and footers as separate columns in their respective tables
  • Headers and footers can be temporarily turned off when running download commands using the --content-only option; when turned off journal downloads are much faster, as the program doesn't need to get each individual journal page
• Pre-operation backups 💽
  • New triggers have been added to perform backups before config changes, database edits, and downloads instead of only afterwards

⚙️ Changes

• Comments are now saved by default and can be turned off with the --no-comments option (the old --save-comments is no longer supported)
• Improve formatting of counters during download
• Hide terminal cursor on Linux and macOS systems
• Allow second database of database merge command to be non-writable (e.g. if it is owned by root on a UNIX systems)

🔧 Fixes

• Fix after-download counters not being correct if the download was interrupted
• Fix typos and errors in help messages
• Fix ` being removed from usernames
