Changing your pending registration’s email
Previously, if you registered for an account and made a typo in your email, you would need to completely re-register. That’s not a particularly big deal right now, but it will be a bigger deal if you already entered your payment information (which is a change that’s coming). In preparation for that, you can now change the email of your pending registration immediately.
Shmeppy now considers big tokens when calculating map bounds
Shmeppy needs to know how much of the infinite canvas you’ve used at various points. Like if it’s exporting your map to an image or just trying to figure out where it should let you pan.
Previously it didn’t take into account large tokens, only considering the top left corner of the token to be “used”. This could mean that your large token gets clipped when doing an export, or panning behaving strangely.
But now it does take large tokens into account! Yay!
Shmeppy no longer falls over if the database restarts
Shmeppy’s error handling is fairly robust, if an error occurs while it’s handling a request from a user. But if Shmeppy’s database restarts (like as part of an automatic update) an error will occur outside of the context of a request. In this case, the error would blast through all of Shmeppy’s error handling and wind up taking the entire application offline.
This happened a day or two ago. Fortunately I was online and brought it back up within a minute, so I imagine very few people noticed. But this happened several months ago and caused a much larger period of downtime, so I wanted to fix it properly this time.
Shmeppy will now handle this sort of error much better (at least if it originates from the database). Shmeppy will of course not work very well when the database is offline, but it will immediately start working again once the database is back online (rather than dying and staying dead until I come and revive it).
