This is a severe issue which makes the current voters bloomfilter
completely useless. Functions are first-class objects in Python, which
lead to interesting "issues" like:
>>> def foo(x=[]):
... x.append(1)
... print x
...
>>> foo()
[1]
>>> foo()
[1, 1]
For Isso, this means the bloomfilter, which is usually only initialized
with the author's IP address, is now initialized with pretty much all
ip addresses from previous authors, thus makes it impossible for the
author to vote on other's people comments.
Cookies set from a different domain can not be read by JS executed in
the current domain. As a workaround, Isso sends both a Set-Cookie and
X-Set-Cookie header. The former is used by the browser to make the
HTTP request to the API, the latter is read by `embed.min.js` to
determine if a comment can be edited or deleted.
When a comment is deleted, the server sends an expired cookies in
Set-Cookie and X-Set-Cookie.
If you don't use a <h1> to markup your post's title (but h2), it
is no longer possible to reliable detect the site's title.
E.g. you have a single page with only one <h1> and that's the
*real* title of that page. But on the other hand, it is also
possible, that the <h1> tag is just your website's name and the
actual post title is marked up in <h2>.
Previously this led to unnecessary object creation which impacted the
rendering time (on my machine 200 comments -> 1200ms) just to create
the postbox per comment (just the object initialization)).
Markdown conversion is not the reason for 2s per 100 comments response,
the hash function is. When using the email/remote_addr from cache, the
response time is pretty fast.
* when uWSGI is available, use their caching framework
* for multi-threaded environment (the default), use a simple cache
