Details

  • Updated the Terms of Service and ToS FAQ to reflect the changes presented here: Comment period open for FAQ and ToS.
  • In accordance with the new ToS, added a DMCA policy page.
  • Some works were getting hit by bots, inflating the hit count in the process. We have made a change that discards hit from bots and only counts users accessing a work.
  • We already increased the font size on mobile devices as a quick fix last month; a code change in this deploy makes the bigger font permanent. (To set a custom font size on your mobile device(s), please use an Archive skin as explained in this tutorial on Tumblr. You can always get an invite if you don't have an account yet.)
  • In challenges without any required tags in the sign-up form (e.g. single-fandom fic exchanges with optional character tags), the matching process would stall without any error messages. This has been fixed.
  • There were some slight display issues with error and success messages in our new mass-wrangling interface. These have been fixed.
  • For works with notes, but without a recipient, related work, or associated collection, the Notes section would include an unnecessary (if invisible) bit of HTML. Now it doesn't.
  • In our automated tests, we had checks for Yuletide imports and imports from fanfiction.net. As works from the former have now been imported into the Archive (and old links redirect to here), and ff.net doesn't allow our import tool to access their site, these tests weren't necessary anymore and were removed.
  • In AO3 News posts, titles with ampersands or > or < signs in them wouldn't display correctly. These special characters now get properly escaped.
