I. News

1.1 Recent Version Releases## 1.2 Other Noteworthy Updates# II. Issues

2.1 Top 5 Active Issues:

We consider active issues to be issues that that have been commented on most frequently within the last week.

1. [Chandler] Setting QUEUE_CONNECTION to redis causes Chandler not working: This issue pertains to a bug where setting the QUEUE_CONNECTION to redis results in Chandler not functioning properly, as jobs dispatched to the queues fail to execute. The user reports that this issue renders Chandler unusable, affecting various functionalities such as modules, currencies, default settings, and email notifications.

   • Multiple users confirmed the issue occurs with different database setups, and while some have successfully used Redis without problems, others found that switching to sync resolved the functionality issues. There is a suggestion that the problem may be related to Laravel rather than Chandler itself, prompting a recommendation to report it to Laravel if the issue persists.
   • Number of comments this week: 4

2. AI Chatbot support for Q&A and Actions, aka ChatGPT for Monica: This issue proposes the integration of AI chatbot functionality, similar to ChatGPT, into the Monica project to enhance user interaction with contact information. The requester suggests that this feature could facilitate tasks such as querying contact details and performing actions through a chat interface, while also considering alternative implementations like a Chrome extension.

   • The comments discuss the feasibility of integrating different language models and the challenges of managing data size and costs associated with token usage. Suggestions include using pseudo-functions to streamline interactions and improve the chatbot's ability to handle user requests effectively.
   • Number of comments this week: 3

3. Inconsistent password requirements: This issue highlights a bug in the password requirements for admin and user accounts in the Monica application, where the same password is accepted for an admin account but rejected for a user account due to differing validation rules. The user expects that both account types should adhere to the same password criteria, as the admin account allows special characters while the user account does not.

   • The comments reveal a discussion about the process of creating admin accounts, with one user sharing their experience of registering through a specific URL. Another user notes a discrepancy in password acceptance, suggesting that the issue may have been resolved in a recent update.
   • Number of comments this week: 3

4. How do I increase storage on Chandler beyond 50MB? [Selfhosted]: This issue revolves around a user seeking guidance on how to increase the storage limit of the Chandler application, which is currently capped at 50MB, while self-hosting it using Docker. The user is looking for a solution to allow for unlimited storage to accommodate larger files, such as profile pictures.

   • The comments section includes multiple users expressing similar concerns about storage limits, with one user clarifying that this inquiry is more suited for the Discussions section rather than an issue report. Another user provides a potential workaround by suggesting a direct SQL update to modify the storage limit for self-hosted instances.
   • Number of comments this week: 3

5. Support "unlimited" storage in Chandler: This issue requests the implementation of "unlimited" storage for users in the Chandler project, suggesting that setting the storage limit to -1 should indicate no limit, while 0 would signify no uploads allowed. The user highlights that in the previous version (4.x), setting the limit to 0 was interpreted as infinite, but this behavior does not seem to carry over to version 5.x.

   • The comments discuss the current behavior of the storage limit settings, with one user noting that the documentation suggests 0 means unlimited, while others confirm that version 5 does not honor this setting as expected. There is a consensus that the user interface should be updated to reflect "Unlimited" instead of 0 when the limit is set accordingly.
   • Number of comments this week: 3

2.2 Top 5 Stale Issues:

We consider stale issues to be issues that have been opened in this project for the longest time within the last year. The team should work together to get these issues resolved and closed as soon as possible.

1. AI Chatbot support for Q&A and Actions, aka ChatGPT for Monica: This issue is a feature request for integrating AI chatbot support, specifically similar to ChatGPT, into the Monica application to enhance user interaction with their contacts. The proposed solution includes creating a chat interface that allows users to ask questions about their contacts and perform tasks through text commands, addressing the current lack of built-in AI capabilities as noted in the project's README.

2. Monica API: occupation and company are not visible: This issue reports a bug in the Monica API where the occupation and company information for contacts are not displayed in the user interface, despite being created through the API. The user expected to see this information on the overview page under work information but found that the relevant API endpoints may not be properly integrated with the application.

   • Open for 358 days, 23 hours, 35 minutes

3. Undefined in post title input as default: This issue pertains to a bug encountered during the creation of posts in the Monica application, where the title input defaults to "undefined" when left unfilled, leading to the unintended addition of posts without any content. The user has reported that this behavior occurs in both Regular and Inspirational post creation, despite the requirement for a title, indicating a flaw in the input validation process.

   • Open for 358 days, 15 hours, 47 minutes

4. Inconsistent password requirements: This issue highlights a bug in the password requirements for user accounts in the Monica application, where an admin account can accept special characters in passwords while user accounts cannot. The reporter encountered this inconsistency when attempting to use the same password for both account types, leading to an error message for the user account despite the password being valid for the admin account.

   • Open for 353 days, 02 hours, 41 minutes

5. [Chandler] Setting QUEUE_CONNECTION to redis causes Chandler not working: This issue reports a bug where setting the QUEUE_CONNECTION to redis results in Chandler becoming non-functional, as jobs dispatched to the queues fail to execute. The user highlights that this malfunction leads to significant usability problems, including missing modules, currencies, default settings, and the inability to send emails, which are critical for the application's operation.
