I had a good couple of weeks doing a variety of work. The changelog is long, mostly fixes and improvements that don't change much, but if you use the twitter downloader or the Client API, make sure to read before you update.
Full changelog: https://hydrusnetwork.github.io/hydrus/changelog.html
twitter
Twitter changed their policies regarding third-party interfaces recently, and it seems as part of that they took down the 'syndication' API our nice twitter downloaders were using. None of them work any more!
A user has kindly figured out a patch, which today's update will apply. It will throw up a yes/no dialog asking whether to do this, which almost everyone will want to click 'yes' on.
Unfortunately, this downloader can only get the first 0-20 tweets in the latest 20 tweets and retweets an account makes!! That's it! When you update, please check your twitter subs to make sure they moved to this new downloader correctly, and you might like to tell them to check more frequently.
I expect twitter to continue in this direction. I don't know if nitter or any other mirrors will be a viable alternative. If any of your twitter subs get posted in any normal booru, I strongly recommend you pursue those instead!
Client API
I am retiring some old data structures from the Client API today. If you use hyshare, please make sure you update to 0.11.2 or newer. If you use hyextract, please update to 0.4.1. If you use Hydrus Companion, I think you'll be good with the latest release for everything. The main changes on my end are to do with tag-viewing and tag-editing, so if you do a lot of that, make sure you have a backup and do a test of everything after you update.
If you have custom scripts, check the changelog. Mostly services are going to be referred to with service_keys in future, so I am removing 'service_name' structures and only supporting 'service_name' arguments in a legacy state. Please move to the /get_service(s) calls to figure out the service keys you need to use, as I will slowly retire the last legacy support later this year. Note that all users can now copy their service keys from review services.
As a side thing, I also rewrote how v413's /set_file_relationships call works. The old 'list of lists' parameter should still work, but a user reminded me that an Object with proper names would be a lot easier to extend in future, so I just rewrote it. This call is sufficiently new and advanced-user-only that I'm ok changing so quick, but if you set something up for it already, check the docs!
