Marie/Rose News

Rose update: - Added the /blacklistdelete command. This can be used to enable/disable any blacklisted messages being deleted. If your blacklistmode is set to "nothing", Rose will simply reply not to send any more of these messages, and provide the reason specified. More info available in the help! - Improved some more caching regarding locks and url whitelists. Should be faster than ever! - Fixed some minor bugs (they should'nt have had an impact on anyone, but I knew they were there and that bothered me; plus, its an optimisation, so... 🤷‍♂️) - Updated to latest translations. Thank you to everyone helping to translate! I've also gone ahead and updated the donations string; I've been accepted onto the github sponsors program, which allows people to donate every month for a consistent income. This is super helpful, and makes it possible for me to judge how much I can afford to pay for Rose's servers :) If you'd like to donate, please go ahead and do so either on github, or on paypal! As usual, head over to @RoseSupport if you have any questions, or find any new bugs. Have a nice day! :)

Rose update: Rose now speaks hindi 🇮🇳! Also, fixed a bug in imports causing blacklists to stop deleting messages

Rose language update: Rose now speaks chinese 🇨🇳! Feel free to join us on crowdin if you would like to add your own language!

Rose update: - Updated translations - Added the /quietfed on/off command; send this to your chat to quietly remove fedbanned users that join the chat, instead of sending a "X has been removed because he is fbanned for reason Y in federation Z" message. - While fedbanning, Rose will now edit the "Beginning fedban..." message, to reduce clutter.

Small Rose update: - Added noformat for filters. To use, simply say the filter name and noformat in the same message, and nothing else. EG: for a filter named test, send test noformat to get the non-formatted version of the filter reply. - Some more backend tweaks. Also, worth noting that the cache changes added in yesterday's update has massivesly reduced CPU usage, meaning Rose will be able to keep scaling for the foreseeable future. Hurray for caching! 🎉

Small rose update: - Updated translations - Welcome mutes no longer remove the "add user" permission - Lots of behind the scenes cache optimisations - Some behind the scenes work to make future updates easier to apply

And maintenance is now over! Rose is now running on Digital Ocean :)

Maintenance has started.

I'm going to start migrating Rose from Scaleway to Digital Ocean in the next hour or so. Digital ocean should be a lot more reliable than scaleway, which should make Rose more stable, and avoid issues like we experienced this morning. Rose will be put in maintenance mode while I transfer the (surprisingly large) database from one server to another - this means she wont reply to any commands other than /start. With the new provider, comes a a more expensive server - so if anyone would like to support Rose and help keep her alive, please donate; she can do with the money! I will send updates here when this is completed.

Rose was down due to a scaleway network fuckup - She's back online now, and I've forced her to ignore the 500k messages shes received over the downtime to make sure she was available as quickly as possible. Sorry for the downtime, I'll be discussing mitigation options for future occurences.

Rose is currently offline because of an unknown issue. We're sorry for that, everything will be solved as soon as possible. @RoseSupport has been temporarily muted to avoid spam and useless messages. Thanks for your understanding.

Rose hit 10 million users this week! 🎉 Pretty cool, considering it's only been a bit over a year since I announced her. So, I'd like to say a big thanks to everyone who uses Rose, and here's to hoping that she keeps on growing!

Remember that if you want to see your language in Rose, you can go to crowdin to contribute!

Rose update: - Updated translations - Backend optimisations, caching, etc to reduce server load - Small bug fixes - Added a "markdown" tab to the /help

Should be all good!

Looks like there are some issues between telegram and rose at the moment - looking at it.

Dropped the message queue that built up during the downtime, Rose is back. Sorry for the downtime!

Scaleway undergoing network maintenance, meaning Rose is temporarily down.

In other news.... Small update! - updated translations - lots of background work to enhance errors - lots of background work to enhance logchannels - removed a some bugs where log channel messages wouldnt be sent - redesigned logchannel text to be more standardised nothing big user-wise, but makes my life a lot easier for future features :)
