- Updated the design of the guides page, making it easier to navigate to updates and their subsections
- Updated the design of the styles list and some of the collection pages
- Switched to int ids for videos linking to channels, as well as removing hardcoding for featured channels, this should allow for a faster lookup

CHANGES MAY 2024

COMMUNITY
- Added version numbers and links to change log for the Renewed Trove Tools widget on the homepage
- Replaced the notices alerts with a game health widget, which allows me to create custom information
- The bug report homepage has been condensed, removing some distracting elements
- The activity section on the issue tracker now only displays status changes, the rest have been hidden
- Turned off the discord moderator feed for site actions
- Removed popular videos list due to view botting (it used an older method of counting views)
- Adjusted the style and removed user and comment links from the homepage recent comments and comments page, the only link takes you to the page the comment was on
- Standardised the light/dark themes to use bootstrap default instead of bootswatch, currently shadow just uses dark, light theme has lost the green trees to the side
DATABASE
- First pass of rearranging item pages, moved most information into their own tabs to condense the page
- Fixed an issue preventing companions from loading rig and blueprint information (as they were handled as items)
- Improved the performance of the Trove Files page from sometimes 3s to <1
- The Trove Files page now lists only direct subfolders instead of recursive, saving screen space and loading time
- Added an Expand All button to the Styles page when viewing a type
- The browse Collections and Styles pages now bundles translations in the lookup query improving load time
- Fixed an incorrect crafting count on some item recipes as they looked from old PTS tables
MODS
- Updated our read TMOD functionality thanks to Sly, applied to new uploads or refreshed meta data requests
- Added a new lightweight image scroller for mod and creations
- Removed the concept of "featured image" from mods, the first image is the main now
- Removed the concept of "catalog image" for mods, we don't really use the icons anymore
GALLERY
- Turned off the anniversary emails for art uploads
- The gallery list has a new design thanks to <@89918356290797568>
- Added the Discover tab to people who aren't logged in
- Removed the feature for logged in users to see art that they haven't liked yet, the performance tradeoff was not worth it

March 2024 - Site Changes
- Art that is > 400 and < 1024 dimensions are no longer resized when viewed, this prevents an issue where some art was stretched because a "thumbnail" was displayed

- Fixed an issue preventing some cannons from being recognised as belonging to a mount in the blueprint list
- Changed the cranny list appearance for entries which have multiple unlocks, retained a larger image and removed the name of the other unlocks
- Fixed an issue where creating a language mod using the translation tool did not generate a mod file hash (used by mod loaders)
- Added a link to Renewed Trove Tools on the mods page and the home page
- Removed a number of links from the homepage
- Replaced the carousel image scroller (used mostly on mod pages) left and right images to be hosted locally and not on imgur
- Fixed an issue where External App Token wasn't showing for people on the user page (it still had the development visibility)
- Added a patch date for strings listed on the search
- Added a mod category for "Waypoint"
- Condensed the categories of mods on the homepage
- Fixed an issue where modfile hashes (used in Renewed Trove Tools) were not being set when creating a mod from a TMOD file directly

February 2024 Changes
DISCORD
- changed the server icon and added new emoji heartpin thanks to ko_ga
SITE NEW
- we now support listing the reruns of cranny, this will display on the front page and on the items themselves

- cranny can now have multiple widgets on the homepage to support reruns
SITE CHANGES
- Added Duraveln pack to the db
- Added an indicator to mods for people who arent logged in whether the mod is submitted or not
SITE FIXES
- recipes can now handle multiple versions of themselves
- this duplication happens mostly when recipes have moved benches
- specific test case was the shadow saurmancer costume was not appearing on the chaotic combinator bench but was incorrectly saying it was from the chaos crafter bench
- fixed an oversight where mods that were part of mod packs were not hidden from trove tools even if we wanted them to be
