When users connect (or reload the page), show a permalink to that session's games as well as a permalink to their entire play history, if they haven't opted out of that tracking. When a game starts, or a player/specator joins a game in progress, show a permalink to that game's rounds.
The "when a game starts" bit required removing the tracking of the 'dealing' state, as there was no other easy way to determine that a game was starting. Nothing actually used that dealing state, so it was harmless to remove. Now, a transition from lobby to playing can be detected as a game start, as opposed to a transition from round over to playing.
This takes advantage of the metrics logging, the metrics processor, and the metrics viewer to provide a permalink to a particular round, instead of requiring players to take a screenshot of the round. This will not be enabled immediately as the viewer is not quite ready for deployment, but this is all that needs done on the game server to support this, so it can just be dynamically enabled when it's ready.
First load handler needs to send those things so the client actually has it. Doesn't really need the persistent id there, but it definitely needs the sigil to avoid undefined errors.
Server startup time is included in first load response, and game creation time is included in game info. IRC bridge uses these, and perhaps a way to see them in the web client will be added too.
Unicode characters weren't getting loaded correctly for some reason, either literally or via escape sequences. Change to specifying a class name which has a compile-coded list of shadowbanned strings. This prevents changing on the fly, but at least it works for now until a proper database can be implemented.
Update the privacy policy about chat logging due to shadowbans.
CAPS LOCK FILTER if a line is long enough and contains mostly caps.
Shadowban filter blocks messages with configurable substrings present in them. Does not permanently shadowban the user, yet, just drops the message.
Add a test that was missed in a previous commit.
* A certain amount of characters in the message must be latin-ish, if the message is longer than a certain length.
* There must be a certain number of spaces in the message, if the message is longer than a certain length.
* The same message cannot be repeated twice in the same location.
* Switched the separator between parts for the chat control config value from _ to . for the scope.
Split the configuration value into two. Add a tracking object to ChatFilter per user which currently contains the two different last message times. Removed the last message times from the User object. Show chat error messages only in the tab that caused them, not both tabs.
* GameId needs to be an *int not an int so we can tell the difference between lack of value and value 0.
* Add the description strings to DisconnectReason.
* Add Sigil and IdCode to NewPlayer messages.
* Add if join/quit events are being broadcast to JavascriptConfigServlet. It works much better if they are but it should still work if they aren't.
This is done with even more dumb on-resize handling. Tested lightly in Chrome, Edge, and IE, and it seemed to work well enough.
Helps #93, though I don't want to use the f-word just yet.
Refactor out the formatting code from CardcastService to its own class.
Add [img][/img] support for white cards to have images on cards.
Force line wrapping for cards with words that do no fit onto a card.
Cleaned up some synchronization around ConnectedUsers.users while I was in there. The list itself wasn't synchronized, which could have been a slight problem.
Users can specify an identification code when they connect (8-100 characters), only if they are using HTTPS. This code is combined with their nickname and a server-side secret, hashed with SHA-256, and condensed down to 64 bits by XORing every 8th byte with each other, and finally converted to base64 (with the trailing = removed). This code is displayed in a tooltip when hovering over the user's chat (TODO: mobile way to view it).
Sigils have been added to be displayed before the user's name in the chat. Admins get @, users with an ID code get +, and normal users get nothing. The IS_ADMIN field is now deprecated, as this can be determined from the user's sigil. It will be removed eventually, but is still being included in events even though the official client should not be using it anymore.
Kicks and bans are now always displayed to all users, even if the server isn't transmitting quit events normally.
* Fix not being able to scroll the index page. Oops. Cleaned up how that was managed.
* Clean up things in changelog and known issues and future features. Some of it has been done for years, oops.
* Make the label for the join button for passworded games word-wrap.
Fix removing cookies.
Add per-server instance unique IDs for games and users, which will not collide between servers or when servers restart.
Add GeoIP capability.
Add beginning of framework for logging card plays.
