Connect Advisory Board Group

Updates deployed to the Connect production servers as a result of the code sprint that ended 08 Jul 2014.

User Facing: Desktop

• Fixed an issue that was allowing unpublished content to show up on list pages.
• Patched code that was sorting URL aliases incorrectly.
• Updated cache flushing code to include URLs with the "device=desktop" suffix.
• Added code that sets a limit on the length of feedback submitted to the translate.cloud system.
• Updated email notifications to consistently use https:// when linking back to Connect.
• Eliminated cases where content updates were programmatically submitting redundant cache-clear requests to Akamai.
• Removed references to Badgeville badges from user profile pages.

Admin Facing

• Enhanced the link checking tool to avoid reporting false-positives in broken link reports.

Performance Wins

• Tuned code to serve up RSS from http:// so the oft-visited RSS feeds can be cached by Akamai.
