Script Compatibility Changelog v1.0.0 and v0.7.0

WaniKaniJavi · November 3, 2021, 8:35pm

The v0.7.0 change wasn’t autopublished so including it here.
Just as a heads up there are more planned changes on queues to handle large numbers of reviews better.

v1.0.0
Compatibility Mode Off: Marked as a major change, in case there are scripts that rely on the specific review queue updates.

activeQueue in jStorage will no longer have extra null items. For example if there are only 8 items left, it will be an array of length 8 instead of 10 with 2 items null.
arrays are updated using slice() instead of push() and pop()

v0.7.0
Compatibility Mode Off: Under lessons, the additional information panels have been redone in React. There are minor markup and visual differences.

“minor” markup difference is a bit of an understatement. It will probably take a while to adapt my WaniKani Item Info Injector library script to this change (not that I’m complaining – after all, this script was primarily created in preparation for the transition to React). It’s just a bit regrettable that the IDs for the sections (item-info-reading-mnemonic, note-reading, etc.) are gone. As a workaround, I will probably have to use the <h2> content to identify the sections and hope that no other userscript inserts a section with the same heading.

When I use @rfindley WK Double Check script I now get a message “Some userscripts might cause reviews to not work properly”. I have never touched this setting before, should I be concerned?

rfindley · November 4, 2021, 1:20am

I suspect they’re just trying to let people know to try out the compatibility mode if you have problems, since they are currently making changes to the review section.

tedledbetter · November 4, 2021, 1:54am

Ok, I didn’t change the settings (left it off) and did my reviews and everything appears to behave properly.

I did notice in the Double-Check thread you mentioned it is not compatible with compatible mode on?

rfindley · November 4, 2021, 3:05am

It may not have been compatible at the time. I just hadn’t tested it.

tedledbetter · November 4, 2021, 3:37am

Gotcha, thank you for getting back and letting me know!

@WaniKaniJavi I just noticed another difference on the lesson page – in the “Meaning” tab of kanji items, “Synonyms” is not in a separate column anymore:

Before

After

Is this change intentional? I did not see it mentioned in the changelog and it seems like a bug (because for vocab lessons, “Synonyms” is still in a separate column), but I’m not sure.

Yep, that was a bug. We found it and it should be fixed up — the same thing was happening on the vocabulary meanings page.

One new(ish) behavior: if there aren’t any synonyms, we don’t render that section. For vocabulary, that doesn’t mean any changes, but kanji will drop back to a single column layout.

Next bug report: The line breaks in the mnemonics are gone in the new version:

Before

After

oldbonsai · November 11, 2021, 5:24pm

Alrighty, the paragraphs are “restored”, in that they’re actually paragraphs now, instead of double <br /> tags. We also have single line breaks in there, even though there aren’t that many in the content.

Let us know if there’s anything else that dropped off the radar for formatting — we thought we caught it all, but obviously missed a couple things.
