Fixes#4082
This version removes selective updating of the tag index, instead completely clearing the index on each update. I'm investigating restoring that optimisation.
* First pass at modular wiki indexes
An exploratory experiment
* Fix tests
* Faster checking for existence of index methods
We don't really need to check the type
* Use the index for the has operator
* Fix typo
* Move iterator index methods into indexer modules
Now boot.js doesn't know the core indexers
* Fix up the other iterator index functions
* Fix crash with missing index branch
* Limit the field indexer to values less than 128 characters
* Fallback to the old manual scan if the index method returns null
* Sadly, we can no longe re-use the field indexer to accelerate the `has` operator, because the index now omits tiddlers that have field values longer than the limit
Still need to make the index configuration exposed somehow
* Rearrange tests so that we can test with and without indexers
We also need to expose the list of enabled indexers as a config option
* Test the field indexer with different length fields
So that we test the indexed and non-indexed codepaths
* Fix search method for search tokens spread across fields
Addresses GH #3636, which reports that if you're searching for "test
body", and "test" only appears in the title field, and "body" only appears
in the text field, 5.1.18's search method won't yield that tiddler as a
result, which appears to be a regression from the 5.1.17 behavior
* Add test for searching for multiple tokens across fields
Verifies GH #3636:
> If I create a tiddler in the empty edition with the title "Test tiddler" and content "Body content", searching the wiki for "test body" yields no results under either "title matches" or "all matches". Searching for either word individually turns up "Test tiddler", and repeating this in an empty wiki I created from the 5.1.17 tag causes "Test tiddler" to show up under "all matches".
* Added better handling for sortByList manual placements
If manual placement specifications show up in an inconvenient order,
sortByList, will go to the trouble of processing them in that order.
* Added tests to confirm solution to (#3296)
...That custom tag ordering will not choke when tiddlers get sorted after their dependencies have been placed around them
* Corrected list-after bug when referencing external titles
* Using more error-proof $tw.utils.hop in sortByList
* minor indentation correction in test-tags.js
I switched this optimisation off back in
ed35d91be6, in October 2013, as part of a
big refactoring of the parsing and widget mechanism. I’ve been meaning
to switch it back on for some time.
My rough measurements suggest that this optimisation can reduce
rendering time by 5-10%.
Typically for JavaScript, initialising an object as an array doesn’t
break anything because an array is an object. Anyhow, it should be an
object in this case.
Previous changes since 5.1.7 broke the documented semantics by no
longer returning true when the versions match. It affected the upgrade
process, making it impossible to upgrade to a later pre-release (ie
where the version numbers in the upgrade.html match those in the file
being upgraded).
Also reviewed and updated the calls to checkVersions.
@felixhayashi I think that this effectively reverts the change you
original submitted. Are you OK with it?
