Permissions Rework

The internal permissions system was reworked to enable new features and clean it up a bit. The main features include:

There is no more admin permission meaning that every permission now has to be granted individually. Previously you had to have this permission to do a whole bunch of things like being able to reply to locked threads, viewing a removed post's content...

permission meaning that every permission now has to be granted individually. Previously you had to have this permission to do a whole bunch of things like being able to reply to locked threads, viewing a removed post's content... Being able to grant and deny permissions on a group-specific level, such as the ability to edit tags only in a particular group. Or to allow you to edit tags in all groups except for ~tildes, for example.

COVID-19

Due to the coronavirus pandemic and all that has come with it, @Deimos made some rapid-fire changes to accommodate all the news and topics related to the pandemic:

A new group, ~health.coronavirus, was made to keep the topics a bit more contained. Alongside that, coronaviruses.covid19 has become the established tag to use for filtering purposes.

has become the established tag to use for filtering purposes. A new "views" is now available in the header. At the moment it's to provide a quick way to view either all coronavirus-related topics or only the unrelated ones.

Various New Features

The overall groups page was redesigned to include some daily activity statistics for each group.

A set of tags has been added to the tags editor so they always show up in the autocompletion, the current list of tags is nsfw , spoiler and coronaviruses.covid19 .

, and . The donation goal meter visible on the frontpage has been added to the Financials page, an open-source contribution by @timo.

Scheduled topic markdown and titles can now take advantage of Jinja templating. Currently only @Deimos can create and edit the scheduled topics, but this feature will be very useful in the future.
