Anki 23.10 Release Candidate

Saw this when importing a card. Surprisingly, import was successful.

Why? Does it search each card as a blob of text and not field after field? I thought the option would make it faster by not spending time on the fields.

23.10 has been released as stable today: Releases · ankitects/anki · GitHub. The website will be updated later.

Compared to rc3, the only changes are updated translations and these two fixes:

  • Fix error on ‘Previous Card Info’ when deleting a note by @abdnh in #2790
  • Fix HTML editor not displaying properly when expanding field by @hikaru-y in #2792

If you encounter any issues with the stable release, please create a new post in the desktop section. I will circle back to some of the issues raised above in the next day or two.

Suggestion for a future patch. Right now, if user doesn’t have enough reviews, he will get this message when tyring to run the optimizer:
Error: 500:Insufficient review
history to perform this operation.
This might make the user think that it’s a bug and that something’s broken. I think this message should be changed to something like “Insufficient number of reviews, default parameters will be used instead”.

The Qt5 build’s main area is still blank for me on Debian (in safe mode or not).

Hello! One bug that I encounter in this version and the last one, that prevents to use it on my machine (Monterey M1 Pro, stick to Anki Version ⁨2.1.65), it’s that when I click on the different elements on the top menu, those menus dont’ appear (Anki > Preferences for example).

If you are interested, I can record a quick video

This isn’t terribly important, but I think using the word “parameters” rather than “weights” is better, for 2 reasons:

  1. The word “weights” is usually used in the context of neural networks, where weights represent the strength of connection between nodes, which is not how FSRS works.
  2. The word “parameters” is less likely to create confusion among people who are not familiar with machine learning.

A more important issue: sometimes when I press the “I” key during the review, I get this:


And then it takes several seconds for stats to load. It’s pretty inconsistent, sometimes it takes a lot of time to load, and sometimes less than a second.

As a small suggestion, maybe the “toggle mask” button shouldn’t appear when rewieng IO notes (Hide One, Guess One mode), since there are no masks in this mode:
Toggle Masks

Could you clarify exactly what you want it to return? The number of days that would be added/subtracted from the real interval if the card is answered today?

If you figure out steps to reproduce it, please let me know.

Yes, excluding the fields takes more work.

fsrs-rs returns the same message when evaluating RMSE, so it needs to be generic. Given that the weights are shown above, I’m not sure it’s that important.

That’s a weird one. Does changing the video drivers in the preferences help at all? Are you using multiple screens?

I think you’re right, but the next update will not have much time to bake, which will not give translators much time. Please note this on GitHub so it doesn’t get forgotten about, and we can change it when there’ll be a few weeks between changing and a stable release.

That implies something else is currently accessing your collection in the background, such as the FSRSHelper or a different add-on.

This is tracked on GitHub.

Bug: search queries created by clicking in the sidebar without pressing Enter are not saved in history.

This is deliberate. Sidebar filters are already easily accessible, so there would little value to store them in the history as well.

I actually add a + or - filter on top of a (short) custom string.

As 2310 was released, can we close the topic?
