Rose update:
Addressed some more more markdown issues that were raised today.

- Some broken buttons should now work again
- Weird text in buttons should stop appearing

Small Rose update:

- privatenotes now just send the note when used in a connection
- Added Vietnamese to the rose list of languages!🇻🇳

Big thanks to all the translators out there that are helping make Rose international :)

Rose Update:

- Bugfixes and optimisations.
- Updated languages.
- Added the /clearall command to clear all notes in a chat. This is an owner-only command.
- Added the /stopall command to stop all filters in a chat. This is an owner-only command.
- Added the /unblacklistall command to remove the entire blacklist in a chat. This is an owner only command.
All three of these command require confirmation before being executed. Please be careful using these - once you have deleted your data, you cant get it back.

Please not that the following languages are trailing behind and will need updating in the near future:
- Hebrew
- Italian
- Brazilian Portuguese
- Columbian Spanish
- Uruguayan Spanish
If you are a fluent in these languages (or would like to add new ones), please come contribute on crowdin!

Enjoy :)

Rose update:

- Improve caching for federations. Most federation related actions should now happen a lot faster.
- Add minicsv mode to the /fbanlist command.

As usual, let us know in @RoseSupportChat if you find any issues with the update.

Edit: Update temporarily reverted while I fix a bug that popped up :)
Edit2: Re-released, with bugfixes.

Rose is currently under maintenance - apologies for any issues!

Maintenance taking longer than expected. Sorry for the inconvenience, doing my best to get everything back up and running!

It is now 2am and the restoration is still going. I will keep rose offline for the night and get her back online tomorrow morning.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Rose is back up.

Had some major issues with the database - no data was lost, and it should all be back up and running now.
Sorry for the inconvenience!

On the bright side - from what I can see, the maintenance achieved what I was hoping for; massive CPU improvements from the database.

That is to say - CPU usage has been cut by 60-70%, which means Rose can handle even more load than she could before. I'll keep monitoring this closely over the next few days to make sure nothing is going wrong.

Rose update:

- Major optimisations. Rose now uses less than 20% CPU at peak times. With 15M users and 150k chats, that's no small feat!
- Improved the lock whitelist. Previously, there had been a bug where one item could appear multiple times in one whitelist; this has been fixed - each item is now unique.
- Updated all translations (note: Hebrew, Italian, Colombian Spanish, and Uruguayan Spanish are trailing behind - please update them if you can!)

As an aside, I'd like to remind everyone that the Rose server is entirely paid for by donations. So if you enjoy using Rose and would like to donate to keep her server running, please do so on github, or paypal. Funds are getting low, so every little helps!

Rose update:

Custom blacklist modes for individual blacklisted items. This will ignore the /blacklistmode setting, and use a new value, of your choice! Just add the new setting in {}.

For example,
/addblacklist "ETA" No asking for ETAs! {tban 6h}
Will ban anyone that says ETA, for 6 hours.

Enjoy!

Rose bugfix:

Fixed the issues with custom blacklist modes

Rose update:

- It is now easier to save captions on gifs/videos/pictures/files. You no longer need to edit your file to have a caption - now, you simply reply to the file with your text, and they'll both get saved together.
- Lots of bugfixes. Like, a lot. No big bugs anyone would have noticed, but just so many small things that have been annoying me for a while now.
- Code cleanup, small optimisations, etc. Again, small things that bother me but no-one else will notice.
- Updated languages.

Enjoy!

Telegram has been having issues and not sending updates to Rose. I've been monitoring logs, and can confirm this is not a Rose issue, but a telegram one. CPU is barely used, network is fine, there aren't any spam attacks... Just telegram delaying updates for seemingly no reason.

I'm not going to voice my hypothesis, since random speculation and rumours wont help anything, but I've contacted bot support multiple times with information and details to help debug the issue on their side, and am waiting on a reply from them. Will update whenever I get any news.

This is as annoying for me as it is for everyone else, so hang tight! :)

Looks like telegram fixed their bug with sending updates at some point late last night. I've been monitoring responsiveness all day, and haven't seen any new issues.
Logs have also confirmed that there aren't any update spikes coming from telegram anymore, so I think we're done.

Thank you for your patience, and I hope you're all doing OK with COVID-19!

New Rose update!

It's been a busy month for everyone with all this COVID-19 business going on. But not to worry, I've still been writing features!

- Improved imports/exports commands. Now, you can specify which categories you would like to import or export.
For example, use the /export notes filters command to only export the list of notes and filters. Same thing for imports; simply reply to a export file with /import rules locks to import only those items. The categories available are all listed in the /help.
- The privatenotes functionality has been improved. When this is active, using /notes in a group will redirect people to Rose's PM. They will be shown a list of note names, that they can click on to then see the note. Easy! This should help all the people who would rather not see the spam from /notes in their groups.
- Bunch of various performance enhancements.
- As usual, updated translations.

Hope you're all doing well!

Rose is currently lagging behind due to a telegram issue. Other bots are also affected.

This seems to be resolved. :)

Small Rose update:
- Added a new locktype, dice, to follow with the latest telegram update.
- Using /id on a joined/left service message will now list all the people involved.
- Small bug fixes.
- Updated translations.

To users of Hebrew, Italian, and Spanish (Argentina, Columbia, and Uruguay) - your translations are creeping behind; please update them, or I'll have to remove them!
