Only lowercase and even-length tag values are stored as binary BLOBs.
Previously there was an error which search results from being returned
if the tag value was mixed-case and could be interpreted as hex.
A new database migration has been created to repair the `tag` table
for existing relays.
fixes: https://todo.sr.ht/~gheartsfield/nostr-rs-relay/37
The original implementation of subscription limit applied to the
entire query, instead of the specific filter. Now, each filter gets
its own query limit. When a limit is applied, the most recent N
events will be returned, otherwise the default is to return the
earliest events (in order), for all matching events.
This is an experimental feature, outside of any NIP, that demonstrates
generic tag queries.
Instead of limiting subscription filters to just querying only "e" or
"p" tags (via `#e` or `#p` attributes), any tag can be queried.
As an example, consider an event which uses a tag "url". With this
modification, a subscription filter could add a top-level field
"#url", with an array of strings as the key. Exact matches would be
returned.
A NIP is forthcoming to formalize this.
The `authors` field is sufficient to represent all queries that
`author` could have been used in. See
https://github.com/fiatjaf/nostr/issues/34 for the discussion leading
to this removal.
