  • Synchronet webv4 fix forum navigation stall (issue #1129)

    From X-News - BBS RSS Feed to All on Wed Jul 1 06:26:52 2026
    TLDR: Sync's webv4 is now very fast and does not stall.

    Detail: Two changes to address long pauses when navigating the webv4 forum:

    1) webv4/lib/forum.js Remove unnecessary MsgBase open/close from
    listSubs. The two fields requiring an open MsgBase (unread, newest)
    are both commented out, making the open/close pure overhead. This caused multi second page render stalls on every click.
    2) webv4/root/js/common.js - Add AbortController to v4_fetch() so
    in-flight AJAX requests are cancelled when a new request is made,
    preventing orphaned server-side threads from accumulating during rapid navigation. Also adds beforeunload handler to close the EventSource
    connection cleanly on navigation.
