v2.6.3

This new version of PYBOSSA has a few cool features:

• Now you can search within the API using fuzzy dates (i.e. all the task_runs by a given user on a month /api/taskrun?created=2017-08&limit=100&user_id=ID). Check the docs.
• It's possible to get all the tasks for a list of project IDs using the arg project_id=[id1,id2,id3,...,idN] (more info here)
• You can now ask users, when creating an account, to acknowledge a field that will follow your own TOS or anything similar (see the docs).
• Custom leaderboards. By default PYBOSSA generates a leaderboard based on the number of task runs a user has contributed, however you might want to give different badges or scores based on different measurements for your project, right? Then, just add them via the webhooks solution and this new feature of PYBOSSA.
• Disable unpublishing projects when inactive. While for most PYBOSSA projects you might want to unpublish non-active projects, your setup could be unique and you want to disable this check. This is now possible via a new config var. Enjoy!

Also, we've now a new flag for allowing Single Page Applications (SPAs) to use a different domain for generating the URL for recovering a password. Just add that variable to your settings file, and use the server name that you want!

Check the docs for all the new features!

v2.6.2

PYBOSSA is growing and improving constantly :-) A proof is different people and institutions from all over the world are contributing back to the code, so we're really thrilled to keep developing and getting this amazing support.

This version has new fixes from Bloomberg and Alexander Mendes, and now if you want, you can have your own custom leaderboards. This means that you can have the default one (based on how many tasks runs each has contributed) as well as your own metric.

Also, now you can retest with just one click all the webhooks payload that have failed, or if you prefer, run all of them again. As simple as a click!

Check the docs for more information.

v2.6.1

We just released a new PYBOSSA version with a few improvements and fixes:

• Category objects now feature an info field as well. Feel free to add there whatever you want!
• Now JSON http://SERVER/project/<short_name>/ returns the long_description field as well.
• Leaderboard is now updated properly.
• The CSV exporter now returns the proper CSV file when an info field is null.

Enjoy!!! Always check the docs

v2.6.0

After only a few hours, we release a new version 😀 Why? Because we thought we were going to spend much more time in developing a new cool feature: /api/task now allows you to remove tasks where the user has participated.

This new feature works like /newtasks but it completely removes out of the game the PYBOSSA schedulers. This is for those developers that want to have full control about how their users interact with the tasks.

You can find more information about this new feature here.

Also, this version adds pagination to /api/favorites endpoint.

Enjoy!

Version 2.5.4

This new release brings several bug fixes to PYBOSSA:

• The full text search API is now live for helping materials as well (it was missing due to a bug).
• The full text search API returns the rank and headline for the match (this was a regression, now fixed).
• The Blogpost API now allows admins to edit/modify/create blog posts for other projects.
• Single Page Applications can now disable the task_presenter check.

Enjoy!

Blog now accepts uploads

This new version allows you to upload a picture to add it as a heading cover for the blog post. This version only supports this via the API. We'll release a new version with support of this feature via the default theme.

Performance & Clean data

This release adds a new table to take care of the statistics of the projects, making it much faster (specially after a cold boot).

Also, the CSV exporter now generates 2 files, one with the PYBOSSA object data and one with only the info key/values flattened to a 2Dimensional file like CSV. This basically means that you will get a perfect clean CSV of tasks, task_runs and results. As simple as that :-)

Enjoy!

Better CSV exporters

This new version uses pandas to export CSV data. This is a boost in performance for projects with millions of task runs.

Extend PYBOSSA info public keys/values

By default only a few key/value pairs are publicly available. In this new version, you can customize it to your needs.

Fix lock in new leaderboard view

This version fixes the lock of the leaderboard. Also, it allows to use concurrently updates of the materialized views if the PostgreSQL server is >=9.5
