xF2 Add-on in Credit [AddonsLab] Unread Post Count 1.6.0 1.6.0

The package optimizes the query for fetching unread posts as recommended by @XFA

As we already fetch the nodes in a separate query, no additional query was required.

Thank you!

This release resolves an issue with the expired cache not being rebuilt on the fly. Now the expired cache is updated immediately when a user visits the board after a long time of inactivity.

The release implements support for node permissions View threads by others and View thread content. Users not having these permissions for a particular node will not see the posts in that node as unread.

In this release, we have also solved the issue with the unread counter being empty on the first page load due to a missing cache.

The release has breaking changes in its code, so if you are using the product in any way other than the officially suggested callback AL\UnreadPostCount\Callback::getUnreadPostCount, please review your custom code using the service CounterService.

Due to migration to a new caching strategy, a bug was introduced that would not change unread post count badge when the user reads an unread post.

Please note, that the product has an option Unread Post Count Cache (Minutes) in the option group Threads, discussions and conversations which defines how long unread post counts should be cached. If caching is not desired, and you want your users to always immediately see the number of unread posts, just set this option to 0. Caching is highly recommended for large websites, for at least as short as 1 minute, as executing an aggregation query on each page load may increase server load considerably.
