20170519 - Project begins. A sweet domain is snagged. Starts out as a basic little raid heroes report host for [RAID] Warband and [BATS], mostly because of Discord file limits and Raid Heroes logs becoming too big. Good afternoon of remembering how web dev works.
20170630 - Upped thread limits on web server due to rising popularity. [Word of mouth is strong] Increased VM memory. Actually remembered to place pagerules on Cloudflare so stuff is cached.
20170714 - Added post processor [*PostP] for Raid Heroes output to fix a few small bugs. Runs every page load, base file still preserved.
20170914 - *PostP - Started stripping some unidentified numeric skills and boons from output.
20170922 - *PostP - Added support for PoF skills and adding skill images.
20170924 - Added pre processor [*PreP] to read evtc file to grab data raid heroes misses. Might expand this to a full evtc parser someday, for now only fetches evtc header for fight basics metadata.
20170925 - *PreP *PostP - More PoF updates, can now correctly identify new elite specs and replace them in output.
20170927 - *PostP - Added unknown skill log, added a few missing skills not in the API from this and will keep doing so here and there.
20170930 - *PostP - Page 'optimization' change, strips player-specific tabs from output and instead fetches via ajax magic when that tab is clicked. Since *PostP now runs up to 200ms with very large files instead of 2-5ms, added a backend cache.
20171001 - *PostP - Added loading spinner for content being fetched dynamically on a report.
20171002 - VM ran out of memory and was in a soft-crash state for most of the day. Hard reboot and adjusted worker process limits.
20171004 - Moved dps.reports to physical server to help with memory issues. - *PreP - Fixed issues with custom .zip files and .zip files latest arc produces.
20171008 - *API - Added JSON output support to uploadContent - Add a &json=1 param to POST input for JSON only output. This is only really useful for those making auto-upload tools.
20171009 - Fixed some webserver params that killed the site during a particularly heavy upload spree during raid reset last night. - Made changelog public.
20171010 - Updated raid heroes to 1.2-12-gf54eac4.
20171108 - Added rotation_weap1 support to enable/disable the widely requested weapon skill 1 tracking in player rotation pages. Clear your browser cache if it isn't working. - *API - Fixed some rewrite rules stripping JSON from /uploadContent. - /uploadContent now accepts parameters in the query string instead of just POST content.
20171113 - Just surpassed 100,000 uploaded evtc files. That's a lot of raids. - *API - ?json=1 should be lowercase, but /uploadContent now accepts the param name as uppercase too. - Misc other cleanup.
20171129 - Fixed permalink generation for Raid Wing 5 and Shattered Observatory. 'Fixed' some fail messages on unsupported fights. Don't forget to update arcdps to log the new wing!

20180313 - 350,000 uploads. Some backend changes to handle future log processing engines. Removed RH links since the domain is currently parked.

20180509 - Doing lots of backend optimization and restructuring. Speed and general site stability will be in flux as I make this more of a Real Project.
20180519 - 🎂 dps.report is 1 year old 🎂 - Currently working on a server upgrade. More stuff coming once spinning disks get swapped for SSDs.
20180521 - Site moved to a slightly less potato server. Also we have a discord now @ https://discord.gg/fyEynB2 - Come on in!
20180529 - *API - Added /getReport endpoint. Gets some metadata about a report link. Useful for discord bots or some auto-uploader implimentations. See api documentation https://dps.report/api
20180620 - Added Elite Insights support. A lot of backend code was changed with this push, so please let me know if anything breaks. - *API - Added Elite Insights support to uploadContent and handleContent. Changed getReport to getUploadMetadata [old endpoint still works], just for backend vs frontend consistency. Added getUploadMetadata output to uploadContent output. Added getUploadMetadata output to getUploads output. See api documentation https://dps.report/api

Elite Insights now has rotation display options toggable in the output page, so option to toggle it on upload was removed. Removed processing options section entirely since it's currently useless. API docs are outdated. Various other backend changes + bug fixes.

20210707 - Added 'warning' to /getUserToken.
20220212 - Tweaked upload handler to not run a JSON parser when file sizes are large, to avoid an OoM error. Files hitting this limit will not have complete metadata but will still be parsed and have json available. This mostly affects really big WvW logs.
20220216 - Updated inliner code to bring in more files under the dps.report domain in an attempt to fix some page loading issues people have on certain networks.

20231220 - Increased unpacked file limit to 600MB, should help with WvW logs.
20240220 - Various fixes and code cleanups. Report any weird bugs to our Discord or Email.
20240225 - Uploads with blank or very short filenames will have a random string appended to the name. - EI failure messages are now included in the error message on failed uploads.
20240314 - The duplicate upload check now resets when EI updates. - If an uploaded file fails to parse, and the file is uploaded again, the original error message is returned instead of a generic "try again later".
20240325 - isLegendaryCm is now a property available in getUploadMetadata. - If using an upload tool: I highly recommend using b.dps.report for uploading files for the time being due to timeout issues on the main domain. Generated links still work across all domains. The main page already uploads to that domain.
20240613 - Placed filesize limits on generic instance logs due to memory constraints. - WvW detailed processing limited to [uncompressed] files under 100MB.
20240615 - Added Emboldened stacks to getUploadMetadata under encounter. - Friendly NPCs [ei: Saul] no longer count towards groups or players in metadata. - Both of these changes only effect new uploads.

20241001 - Status codes at /uploadContent changed. Errors now return a relevant http error code instead of always returning 403 or 500.
