tippr v0.20.0

✨ Features and improvements

• Upgrades are much quicker: about 1½ minutes of downtime instead of 6½ on a test install. A release's installer
  tarball already holds its built Cython modules, translations and static files, but upgrades threw them away and
  built them again; now each build is fingerprinted (scripts/build-fingerprint: its inputs' contents, not file
  dates) and skipped while its inputs are unchanged, by the release or by an earlier run. The translations a release
  carries become a git checkout in place instead of being moved aside and cloned again (which also stops an
  i18n.old-<date> folder being left on each update), r2 is reinstalled only when its packaging or Cython modules
  change, and RabbitMQ restarts only when its settings do.
• Every install runs the Python packages the release was tested with: the installer installs
  install/requirements.txt (moved from docker/), the pinned list the Docker image uses, in one go, instead of
  about 40 packages in groups at whatever versions were newest that day (and baseplate and formenergy-observability
  from their branches' tips). TIPPR_BASEPLATE_PIP_URL and TIPPR_FORMENERGY_OBSERVABILITY_PIP_URL still install
  another on top, but are empty by default. The old psycopg2-binary is replaced by the pinned psycopg2.
• An account's status, from its /admin/users page: its staff permission (none, employee, sponsor or admin: the
  same employees list as /admin/config, with its checks, so no one removes their own admin permission), and whether
  it's one of the site's own accounts (a test account, a bot). The system user, AutoModerator and feed bots count as
  the site's own by themselves. The status column on /admin/users shows sponsors and employees too, and labels the
  site's own accounts, which don't take an Early Member place.
• The consent banner asks about "optional analytics cookies" instead of naming Google Analytics; the privacy
  policy it links to says what they are. "Optional" makes clear that declining doesn't turn off the cookies the site
  needs. The preference says the same.
• A clearer "Translating" help page (/help/translate): how to fix a translation as numbered steps, the file to
  edit on its own line, links to Poedit and Lokalize, and what to put in an issue as a list. The trophies help page
  lists Early Member among the awards the site gives.
• Updates say the site is down for "a few minutes" (on /admin/servers and in the updater) instead of 5–10.

🐞 Bug fixes

• /admin/servers showed the event collector queues in red with no processor, as if stopped. They're for an
  analytics event collector service, and without one (events_collector_url) the site queues nothing there and runs
  no processor for them on purpose: they now say "off (no event collector)".
• The trophy case was unreadable in the dark theme: award names were always black (and descriptions dark grey);
  they follow the theme's text colors now.
• The admin mode page on a remembered computer looked unfinished: "forget this computer" was a grey button with
  its explanation wrapping beside it, and the heading still asked for a one-time code. It's now a link under the
  main button with the explanation below it, and the heading asks for the password only.
• Docker: a container could fail to start alongside the others ("No such file or directory:
  /config/docker.update.tmp"): every container writes the shared config in /config as it starts, through one
  temporary file name, so one could rename it away while another was still writing it. Each now uses a temporary
  file of its own, created private.

Downloads

• Docker: docker pull techidiotsllc/tippr:0.20.0, or unpack tippr-0.20.0-compose.tar.gz, copy
  .env.example to .env, fill it in and run docker compose up -d (docker/README.md).
• Proxmox: tippr-0.20.0-proxmox-amd64.tar.zst is an LXC template with the whole site installed;
  create a container with the site's domain as its hostname and start it (docs/PROXMOX.md).
• Installer (Ubuntu 24.04): unpack tippr-0.20.0-installer.tar.gz into /home/tippr/src and
  run sudo TIPPR_USER=tippr TIPPR_DOMAIN=example.com ./install-tippr.sh in tippr/; it doesn't need
  to clone anything (docs/INSTALL_tippr.md).
