Release 0.68.0

Welcome to Zotonic 0.68.0, released on July 21, 2022.

This is a maintenance release.

Main changes are:

Change z_search to return estimated number of rows instead of a count
New zotonic config ‘filewatcher_terminal_notifier’ to disable desktop notifications
Fix a problem in controller_static_pages with handling Unicode filenames
Change signup-confirmation to require a click on a button before confirming, this fixes a problem where confirmations could accidently be done.

Search changes

The search routines are now using the query planner to estimate the number of rows.

To support this, the following changes were made:

The all field in the #search_result record is now deprecated.
In #search_result there is a new flag is_total_estimated. This is set to true if the total was estimated by using the query planner.
If the total is estimated then the pager does not show the last page.
In the admin the (estimated) total items found is shown below the pager.

With this change some searches will be much faster as the database does not need to count to max 30K rows, like in the pre 0.68.0 implementation.

The 1.x version of Zotonic is also using the query planner to estimate the number of rows, so handling this correctly will help you in moving your site to Zotonic 1.x.
