# API changelog
api docs: Add an API changelog page. I imagine this can be improved in various ways, but I've initialized this with all the **Changes** entries recorded in either zulip.yaml or the rest of the API documentation, and I expect we'll be able to iterate on this effectively. It'll also be useful as a record of changes that we should remember to document the API documentation as we document more endpoints that currently don't discuss these issues. While working on this, I fixed various issues where feature levels could be mentioned or endpoints didn't properly document changes.

docs: Improve introduction for API changelog page. This links to the release lifecycle documentation and is a bit more explicit about how to use this. Probably further improvement would be useful as well.

This page documents changes to the Zulip Server API over time. See
api docs: Fix release lifecycle link. This was added in 3871c99104165b6d2fcf417177b3ccd1d3a915f5.

with full details in **Changes** entries in the API documentation for
the modified endpoint(s).

When using an API endpoint whose behavior has changed, Zulip API
clients should check the `zulip_feature_level` field, present in the
[`GET /server_settings`](/api/get-server-settings) and [`POST
/register`](/api/register-queue) responses, to determine the API
format used by the Zulip server that they are interacting with.

2020-04-29 05:55:42 +02:00
Update version following 7.0 release.
2023-05-31 19:31:37 +02:00
## Changes in Zulip 8.0
settings: Add email notifications for the followed topics. This commit makes it possible for users to control the email notifications for messages sent to followed topics via a global notification setting. Although there is no support for configuring this setting through the UI yet. Add five new fields to the UserBaseSettings class for the "followed topic notifications" feature, similar to stream notifications. But this commit consists only of the implementation of email notifications.
2023-05-17 16:01:16 +02:00
**Feature level 189**
* [`PATCH /realm/user_settings_defaults`](/api/update-realm-user-settings-defaults),
[`POST /register`](/api/register-queue), [`PATCH /settings`](/api/update-settings):
api-changelog: Update feature level 189 entry and bump API version. Revises the API changelog feature level 189 entry for formatting error and to clarify the text. Also, bumps the API_FEATURE_LEVEL in `version.py`. The original pull request for these changes was #25640.
2023-06-14 12:39:21 +02:00
Added new boolean user settings `enable_followed_topic_email_notifications`,
`enable_followed_topic_push_notifications`,
`enable_followed_topic_wildcard_mentions_notify`,
`enable_followed_topic_desktop_notifications`
and `enable_followed_topic_audible_notifications` to control whether a user
receives email, push, wildcard mention, visual desktop and audible desktop
notifications, respectively, for messages sent to followed topics.

But this commit consists only of the implementation of email notifications.
2023-05-17 16:01:16 +02:00
muted users: Add support to muting bots. We intentionally disallow muting bots previously upon a pending design decision in #16915. This lifts that constraint. Fixes #22693.
2023-06-13 18:15:36 +02:00
**Feature level 188**
* [`POST /users/me/muted_users/{muted_user_id}`](/api/mute-user),
[`DELETE /users/me/muted_users/{muted_user_id}`](/api/unmute-user):
Added support to mute/unmute bot users.
Update version following 7.0 release.
2023-05-31 19:31:37 +02:00
Feature levels 186-187 are reserved for future use in 7.x maintenance
releases.
Update version following 6.0 release.
2022-11-18 00:13:58 +01:00
## Changes in Zulip 7.0
Release Zulip Server 7.0.
2023-05-31 02:58:42 +02:00
**Feature level 185**
No changes; feature level used for Zulip 7.0 release.
scheduled-messages: Add API documentation for new endpoint. Part of splitting creating and editing scheduled messages. Final commit. Should be merged with previous commits in series. Updates the API documentation for the new endpoint for editing scheduled messages.
2023-05-16 21:20:49 +02:00
**Feature level 184**
* [`PATCH /scheduled_messages/<int:scheduled_message_id>`](/api/update-scheduled-message):
Added new endpoint for editing an existing scheduled message.
* [`POST /scheduled_messages`](/api/create-scheduled-message):
Removed optional `scheduled_message_id` parameter, which had
been a previous way for clients to support editing an existing
scheduled message.
events: Remove realm_community_topic_editing_limit_seconds. This commit removes realm_community_topic_editing_limit_seconds field from register response since topic edit limit is now controlled by move_messages_within_streams_limit_seconds setting. We also remove DEFAULT_COMMUNITY_TOPIC_EDITING_LIMIT_SECONDS constant since it is no longer used.
2023-05-23 16:41:49 +02:00
**Feature level 183**
* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue): Removed the
`realm_community_topic_editing_limit_seconds` property, which was no
longer in use. The time limit for editing topics is controlled by the
realm setting `move_messages_within_stream_limit_seconds`, see feature
level 162.
* [`GET /events`](/api/get-events): Removed the `community_topic_editing_limit_seconds`
property from realm `update_dict` event documentation, because it was
never returned as a changed property in this event and was only ever
returned in the [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue) response.
realm_export: Return export id from POST which create it.
2023-05-16 19:14:14 +02:00
**Feature level 182**
* `POST /export/realm`: This endpoint now returns the ID of the data
export object created by the request.
scheduled-messages: Update API dicts for `failed` boolean field. Adds the `failed` boolean from the ScheduledMessage to the API dict returned by scheduled message events and register response, and by fetching the user's scheduled messages. `failed` will only be true when the server has tried to send the scheduled message and failed due to an error.
2023-05-11 19:31:13 +02:00
**Feature level 181**
* [`GET /scheduled_messages`](/api/get-scheduled-messages), [`GET
/events`](/api/get-events), [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue):
Added `failed` boolean field to scheduled message objects to
indicate if the server tried to send the scheduled message and was
unsuccessful. Clients that support unscheduling and editing
scheduled messages should use this field to indicate to the user
when a scheduled message failed to send at the appointed time.
invites: Allow users to invite without specifying any stream to join. We now allow users to invite without specifying any stream to join. In such cases, the user would join the default streams, if any, during the process of account creation after accepting the invite. It is also fine if there are no default streams and user isn't subscribed to any stream initially.
2023-04-26 19:20:44 +02:00
**Feature level 180**
* `POST /invites`: Added support for invitations specifying the empty
list as the user's initial stream subscriptions. Previously, this
api_docs: Document feature level 157 backport to 6.x.
2023-05-13 02:55:28 +02:00
returned an error. This change was also backported to Zulip 6.2, and
is available at feature levels 157-158 as well.
invites: Allow users to invite without specifying any stream to join. We now allow users to invite without specifying any stream to join. In such cases, the user would join the default streams, if any, during the process of account creation after accepting the invite. It is also fine if there are no default streams and user isn't subscribed to any stream initially.
2023-04-26 19:20:44 +02:00
scheduled-messages: Update API dicts for `failed` boolean field. Adds the `failed` boolean from the ScheduledMessage to the API dict returned by scheduled message events and register response, and by fetching the user's scheduled messages. `failed` will only be true when the server has tried to send the scheduled message and failed due to an error.
2023-05-11 19:31:13 +02:00
**Feature level 179**
api-docs: Document create/edit scheduled message endpoint and events. Adds API changelog update for the new endpoint added for creating or editing scheduled messages, for the events sent for scheduled messages (add, update, delete), and for the `scheduled_messages` field in the register response. Adds a specific API markdown documentation file for the create or update scheduled messages endpoint, so that the parameters in the cURL examples are accurate for the type of message (direct or stream) and action (create or edit). Bumps the API feature level, adds Changes notes to API documentation and adds the scheduled message endpoints to the API documentation sidebar.

2023-04-28 13:39:48 +02:00
Added `scheduled_messages` events sent to clients when a user creates,
edits or deletes scheduled messages.
* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue):
Added an optional `scheduled_messages` field to that includes all
of the undelivered scheduled messages for the current user.
api_docs: Update API docs for presence changes.
2023-04-26 22:43:02 +02:00
**Feature level 178**
api-changelog: Update and clarify docs for feature level 178 entry. Updates the descriptions and examples for there only being two key values: "website" and "aggregated". Also, clarifies that email keys are the Zulip display email. And removes any descriptive text that says presence objects have information about the clients the user is logged into.
2023-05-18 19:11:18 +02:00
* `POST users/me/presence`,
[`GET /users/<user_id_or_email>/presence`](/api/get-user-presence),
[`GET /realm/presence`](/api/get-presence),
[`POST /register`](/api/register-queue),
[`GET /events`](/api/get-events):
The server no longer stores which client submitted presence data,
and presence responses from the server will always contain the
`"aggregated"` and `"website"` keys.
api_docs: Update API docs for presence changes.
2023-04-26 22:43:02 +02:00
narrow: Document new filters `is:dm`, `dm` and `dm-including`. Documents narrows now have support for new filters for direct messages: `is:dm`, `dm`, and `dm-including`. Also documents that `is:private`, `pm-with` and `group-pm-with` are now legacy aliases for these three new filters respectively. Note that API documentation references the help center documentation for search/narrow filters. Fixes #24806.
2023-04-20 15:03:07 +02:00
**Feature level 177**
* [`GET /messages`](/api/get-messages),
[`GET /messages/matches_narrow`](/api/check-messages-match-narrow),
[`POST /message/flags/narrow`](/api/update-message-flags-for-narrow),
[`POST /register`](/api/register-queue):
Added support for three [search/narrow filters](/api/construct-narrow)
related to direct messages: `is:dm`, `dm` and `dm-including`.
The `dm` operator replaces and deprecates the `pm-with` operator.
The `is:dm` filter replaces and deprecates the `is:private` filter.
The `dm-including` operator replaces and deprecates the `group-pm-with`
operator. Because existing Zulip messages may have links with these
legacy filters, they are still supported for backwards-compatibility.
linkifier: Support URL templates for linkifiers. This swaps out url_format_string from all of our APIs and replaces it with url_template. Note that the documentation changes in the following commits will be squashed with this commit. We change the "url_format" key to "url_template" for the realm_linkifiers events in event_schema, along with updating LinkifierDict. "url_template" is the name chosen to normalize mixed usages of "url_format_string" and "url_format" throughout the backend. The markdown processor is updated to stop handling the format string interpolation and delegate the task template expansion to the uri_template library instead. This change affects many test cases. We mostly just replace "%(name)s" with "{name}", "url_format_string" with "url_template" to make sure that they still pass. There are some test cases dedicated for testing "%" escaping, which aren't relevant anymore and are subject to removal. But for now we keep most of them as-is, and make sure that "%" is always escaped since we do not use it for variable substitution any more. Since url_format_string is not populated anymore, a migration is created to remove this field entirely, and make url_template non-nullable since we will always populate it. Note that it is possible to have url_template being null after migration 0422 and before 0424, but in practice, url_template will not be None after backfilling and the backend now is always setting url_template. With the removal of url_format_string, RealmFilter model will now be cleaned with URL template checks, and the old checks for escapes are removed. We also modified RealmFilter.clean to skip the validation when the url_template is invalid. This avoids raising mulitple ValidationError's when calling full_clean on a linkifier. But we might eventually want to have a more centric approach to data validation instead of having the same validation in both the clean method and the validator. Fixes #23124.

**Feature level 176**
api-changelog: Update and clarify docs for feature level 176 entry. Revises API changelog entry for missing endpoint method and to clarify the overall text. Updates Changes notes for feature level 176 to not have repetitive text, so that the updates were clearer and more concise.

2023-05-19 18:04:36 +02:00
* [`POST /realm/filters`](/api/add-linkifier),
[`PATCH realm/filters/<int:filter_id>`](/api/update-linkifier):
The `url_format_string` parameter is replaced by `url_template`.
[Linkifiers](/help/add-a-custom-linkifier) now only accept
[RFC 6570][rfc6570] compliant URL templates. The old URL format
strings are no longer supported.

`"private"` may eventually be removed.
message-type: Add support for "direct" as value for type parameter. For endpoints with a `type` parameter to indicate whether the message is a stream or direct message, `POST /typing` and `POST /messages`, adds support for passing "direct" as the preferred value for direct messages, group and 1-on-1. Maintains support for "private" as a deprecated value to indicate direct messages. Fixes #24960.

scheduled_messages: Add endpoints to fetch and delete them.
2023-04-14 21:19:46 +02:00
**Feature level 173**:
* [`GET /scheduled_messages`](/api/get-scheduled-messages), [`DELETE
/scheduled_messages/<int:scheduled_message_id>`](/api/delete-scheduled-message):
Added new endpoints to fetch and delete scheduled messages.
message_edit: Apply topic edit restrictions to "(no topic)" messages. Previously, editing topic of "(no topic)" messages was allowed irrespective of time limit or the "edit_topic_policy" setting. Since we are working in the direction of having "no topic" messages feel reasonable, this commit changes the code to not consider them as a special case and topic editing restrictions apply to them as well now like all other messages. We still highlight the topic edit icon in recipient bar without hovering for "no topic" messages, but it is only shown when user has permission to edit topics.
2023-03-16 13:32:30 +01:00
**Feature level 172**
api-changelog: Clarify feature level 172 descriptive text. Original API feature level entries: commit 440f9e397a2 and commit bd7f728796efb18.
2023-05-22 16:27:12 +02:00
* [`PATCH /messages/{message_id}`](/api/update-message):
[Topic editing restrictions](/help/restrict-moving-messages) now apply
to stream messages without a topic.
* [`PATCH /messages/{message_id}`](/api/update-message): When users, other
than organization administrators and moderators, use
`"propagate_mode": "change_all"` to move messages that have passed the
organization's time limit for updating a message's topic and/or stream,
this endpoint now returns an error response
(`"code": "MOVE_MESSAGES_TIME_LIMIT_EXCEEDED"`).
message_edit: Apply topic edit restrictions to "(no topic)" messages. Previously, editing topic of "(no topic)" messages was allowed irrespective of time limit or the "edit_topic_policy" setting. Since we are working in the direction of having "no topic" messages feel reasonable, this commit changes the code to not consider them as a special case and topic editing restrictions apply to them as well now like all other messages.

backend-auth: Add user ID to fetch api key responses. Adds the user ID to the return values for the `/fetch_api_key` and `/dev_fetch_api_key` endpoints. This saves clients like mobile a round trip to the server to get the user's unique ID as it is now returned as part of the log in flow. Fixes #24980.
2023-04-04 12:36:44 +02:00
**Feature level 171**:
* [`POST /fetch_api_key`](/api/fetch-api-key),
[`POST /dev_fetch_api_key`](/api/dev-fetch-api-key): The return values
for these endpoints now include the unique ID of the user who owns the
API key.
user_topics: Add a new endpoint to update visibility_policy. This commit adds a new endpoint, 'POST /user_topics' which is used to update the personal preferences for a topic. Currently, it is used to update the visibility policy of a user-topic row.
2023-03-31 21:18:12 +02:00
**Feature level 170**
user_topics: Update API documentation. This commit adds the missing 'UNMUTED' visibility policy to the documentation for 'api/get-events' and 'api/register-queue'. It replaces INHERIT with NONE for a clearer name in the 'api/update-user-topic' documentation. Other smaller changes in wording to improve readability.
2023-05-22 07:29:45 +02:00
* [`POST /user_topics`](/api/update-user-topic): Added a new endpoint to
update a user's personal preferences for a topic, which deprecates the
[`PATCH /users/me/subscriptions/muted_topics`](/api/mute-topic) endpoint.
The deprecated endpoint is maintained for backwards-compatibility but may be
removed in a future release.
* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue), [`GET /events`](/api/get-events):
Unmuted added as a visibility policy option to the objects sent in response
to the `user_topic` event.
user_topics: Add a new endpoint to update visibility_policy. This commit adds a new endpoint, 'POST /user_topics' which is used to update the personal preferences for a topic. Currently, it is used to update the visibility policy of a user-topic row.
2023-03-31 21:18:12 +02:00
UserTopic: Set visibility_policy or delete UserTopic row without error. This commit updates 'set_user_topic_visibility_policy_in_database' to not raise an error when deleting a UserTopic row and the user doesn't have a visibility_policy for the topic yet, or when setting the visibility_policy to its current value. Also, it includes the changes to not send unnecessary events in such cases.
2023-03-14 15:09:12 +01:00
**Feature level 169**
* [`PATCH /users/me/subscriptions/muted_topics`](/api/mute-topic):
Trying to mute a topic that is already muted or unmute a topic
that was not previously muted now results in a success response
rather than an error.
user_settings: Automate 'Include realm name in message email subject'. Currently, there is a checkbox setting for whether to "Include realm name in subject of message notification emails". This commit replaces the checkbox setting with a dropdown having values: Automatic [default], Always, Never. The Automatic option includes the realm name if, and only if, there are multiple Zulip realms associated with the user's email. Tests are added and(or) modified. Fixes: #19905.

* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue), [`PATCH /settings`](/api/update-settings),
[`PATCH /realm/user_settings_defaults`](/api/update-realm-user-settings-defaults):
Replaced the boolean user setting `realm_name_in_notifications`
with an integer `realm_name_in_email_notifications_policy`.

response: Implement ignored parameters with MutableJsonResponse class. Creates `MutableJsonResponse` as a subclass of Django's `HttpResponse` that we can modify for ignored parameters in the response content. Updates responses to include `ignored_parameters_unsupported` in the response data through `has_request_variables`. Creates unit test for this implementation in `test_decorators.py`. The `method` parameter processed in `rest_dispatch` is not in the `REQ` framework, so for any tests that pass that parameter, assert for the ignored parameter with a comment. Updates OpenAPI documentation for `ignored_parameters_unsupported` being returned in the JSON success response for all endpoints. Adds detailed documentation in the error handling article, and links to that page in relevant locations throughout the API docs. For the majority of endpoints, the documentation does not include the array in any examples of return values, and instead links to the error handling page. The exceptions are the three endpoints that had previously supported this return value. The changes note and example for these endpoints is also used in the error handling page.
2022-08-25 18:41:46 +02:00
**Feature level 167**
* [All REST API endpoints](/api/rest-error-handling#ignored-parameters):
Implemented `ignored_parameters_unsupported` as a possible return value
in the JSON success response for all endpoints. This value is a array
of any parameters that were sent in the request by the client that are
not supported by the endpoint. Previously, unsupported parameters were
silently ignored, except in the subset of endpoints which already
supported this return value; see feature levels 111, 96 and 78.
send_message_backend: Remove the realm_str API param. This already became useless in 6e11754642a59d83d7a575b78e6c3e988d3b6c93, as detailed in the API changelog entry here. At this point, we should eliminate this param and the weird code around it. This commit also deletes the associated tests added in 6e11754642a59d83d7a575b78e6c3e988d3b6c93, since with realm_str removed, they make no sense anymore (and actually fail with an OpenAPI error due to using params not used in the API). Hypothetically they could be translated to use the subdomain= kwarg, but that also doesn't make sense, since at that point they'd be just testing the case of a user making an API request on a different subdomain than their current one and that's just redundant and already tested generally in test_decorators.
2023-02-28 00:47:40 +01:00
**Feature level 166**
api-docs: Fix changelog formatting for feature level 166. Also, updates the entry to note that the removed `realm_str` parameter was undocumented, which is why there is no corresponding changes note in the specific endpoint documentation.
2023-03-01 19:21:57 +01:00
* [`POST /messages`](/api/send-message): Eliminated the undocumented
`realm_str` parameter. This parameter was already redundant due to
it needing to match the realm of the user making the request, otherwise
returning an authorization error. With this, the parameter is removed,
meaning that if provided in the API request, it will be ignored.

user groups: Make name and description optional in group update. View that handled `PATCH user_groups/<int:user_group_id>` required both name and description parameters to be passed. Due to this clients had to pass values for both these parameters even if one of them was changed. To resolve this name description parameters to `PATCH user_groups/<int:user_group_id>` are made optional.

2023-02-26 16:47:58 +01:00

users: Always pass "delivery_email" field in user objects. Previously, user objects contained delivery_email field only when user had access to real email. Also, delivery_email was not present if visibility setting is set to "everyone" as email field was itself set to real email. This commit changes the code to pass "delivery_email" field always in the user objects with its value being "None" if user does not have access to real email and real email otherwise. The "delivery_email" field value is None for logged-out users. For bots, the "delivery_email" is always set to real email irrespective of email_address_visibility setting. Also, since user has access to real email if visibility is set to "everyone", "delivery_email" field is passed in that case too. There is no change in email field and it is same as before. This commit also adds code to send event to update delivery_email field when email_address_visibility setting changes to all the users whose access to emails changes and also changes the code to send event on changing delivery_email to users who have access to email.

* [`GET /events`](/api/get-events): Event for updating a user's
`delivery_email` is now sent to all users who have access to it, and
is also sent when a user's `email_address_visibility` setting changes.
api-docs: Update avatar_url descriptions for feature level 163 change. Updates the descriptions of the `avatar_url` field in message and user objects to be clear that the current user must have access to the other user's real email address in order for the value to ever be `null`. Also adds a bullet point to the API changelog feature level 163 entry about this change.

field in message and user objects returned by these endpoints can be `null`
now depends on if the current user has access to the other user's real
email address based on the other user's `email_address_visibility` policy.

* `PATCH /realm`, [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue),
[`GET /events`](/api/get-events): Added two new realm settings
`move_messages_within_stream_limit_seconds` and
`move_messages_between_streams_limit_seconds` for organizations to
configure time limits for editing topics and moving messages between streams.
* [`PATCH /messages/{message_id}`](/api/update-message): For users other than
administrators and moderators, the time limit for editing topics is now
controlled via the realm setting `move_messages_within_stream_limit_seconds`
and the time limit for moving messages between streams is now controlled by

**Feature level 161**
api-docs: Revisions for feature level 161 changes. Revises the API changelog entry for feature level 161 to document the changes to `DELETE /users/me/subscriptions` and to explain more clearly what the new `can_remove_subscribers_group_id` parameter does. Updates the feature level 161 changes notes and related descriptions to include links and also more clearly explain the updates. Also, updates the `GET /user_groups` example to better reflect what is returned for system groups since this is now referenced in the `can_remove_subscribers_group_id` parameter description. The original API feature level 161 API documentation changes were made in commit c3759814be23ae and commit 73f11853ec4eec.

delete_topic: Use the same timeout pattern as /mark_all_as_read. We don't want to use the nginx 502 timeout as an API pattern. In /mark_all_as_read we've already figured out how we want to handle this instead.

**Feature level 154**
* [`POST /streams/{stream_id}/delete_topic`](/api/delete-topic):
When the process of deleting messages times out, a success response
with "partially_completed" result will now be returned by the server,
analogically to the `/mark_all_as_read` endpoint.
do_mark_all_as_read: Split up the work into batches. Fixes #15403.
2022-10-02 21:32:36 +02:00
**Feature level 153**
* [`POST /mark_all_as_read`](/api/mark-all-as-read): Messages are now
marked as read in batches, so that progress will be made even if the
request times out because of an extremely large number of unread
messages to process. Upon timeout, a success response with a
"partially_completed" result will be returned by the server.
message_edit: Support sending notifications with topic changes. Previously we did not send notification for topic-only edits. Now, we add backend support for sending notification to topic-only edits as well. We would add support for this in webapp in further commits since message edit UI will be updated as well. We just make sure that no notifications are sent when editing topic using pencil icon in message header. We also change the API default for moving a topic to only notify the new location, not the old one; this matches the current defaults in the web UI. Includes many tests. We also update the puppeteer tests to test only content edit as we are going to change the UI to not allow topic editing from message edit UI. Also fixing the existing tests to pass while doing topic edits is somewhat complex as notification message is also sent to new topic by default. Fixes #21712.

[`POST /realm/profile_fields`](/api/create-custom-profile-field),
[`GET /realm/profile_fields`](/api/get-custom-profile-fields): Added
pronouns custom profile field type.
message_edit: Send only changed settings in event data and api response. Previously, we included all three message edit related settings ("allow_message_editing", "message_content_edit_limit_seconds" and "edit_topic_policy") in the event data and api response irrespective of which of these settings were changed. Now, we only include changed settings and separate events are sent for each setting if more than one of them is changed. Note that the previous typed in event_schema.py for `message_content_edit_limit_seconds` incorrectly did not allow `None` as a value, which is used to encode no limit.
2022-09-22 10:53:37 +02:00
**Feature level 150**
* [`GET /events`](/api/get-events): Separate events are now sent on changing
`allow_message_editing`, `message_content_edit_limit_seconds` and
`edit_topic_policy` settings, whereas previously one event was sent including
all of these setting values irrespective of which of them were actually changed.

when changing `allow_message_editing`, `edit_topic_policy` and
`message_content_edit_limit_seconds` settings, instead of including all the
fields even if one of these settings was changed.
events: Clean up logic for spectator events_register parameters. Unfortunately, doing so requires forking common API documentation text, since we're not making any changes to other endpoints that don't allow unauthenticated requests at all. Follow-up on #21995.
2022-09-26 17:37:04 +02:00
**Feature level 149**
* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue): The `client_gravatar` and
`include_subscribers` parameters now return an error for
[unauthenticated requests](/help/public-access-option) if an
unsupported value is requested by the client.
api-docs: Document `away` as deprecated way to access presence_enabled. Updates API documentation and changelog for user status `away` now being a deprecated way to access a user's `presence_enabled` setting for clients supporting older servers. Final step in making user status `away` a deprecated way to access `presence_enabled` for clients supporting older servers.

2022-09-22 12:27:20 +02:00
[`POST /register`](/api/register-queue), [`GET /events`](/api/get-events):
The user status `away` field/parameter is deprecated, and as of this
feature level are a legacy way to access the user's `presence_enabled`
setting, with `away = !presence_enabled`. To be removed in a future
release.
delete_in_topic: Split up the deletion into batches. Fixes #22821. As explained in the comment in the code: Topics can be large enough that this request will inevitably time out. In such a case, it's good for some progress to be accomplished, so that full deletion can be achieved by repeating the request. For that purpose, we delete messages in atomic batches, committing after each batch. The additional perk is that the ordering of messages should prevent some hypothetical deadlocks - ref #19054
2022-09-20 21:24:59 +02:00
**Feature level 147**
* [`POST /streams/{stream_id}/delete_topic`](/api/delete-topic):
Messages now are deleted in batches, starting from the newest, so
that progress will be made even if the request times out because of
an extremely large topic.
custom_profile_fields: Add "display_in_profile_summary" field in model. To allow `custom_profile_field` to display in user profile popover, added new boolean field "display_in_profile_summary" in its model class. In `custom_profile_fields.py`, functions are edited as per conditions, like currently we can display max 2 `custom_profile_fields` except `LONG_TEXT` and `USER` type fields. Default external account custom profile fields made updatable for only this new field, as previous they were not updatable. Fixes part of: #21215
2022-07-12 21:04:47 +02:00
**Feature level 146**
* [`POST /realm/profile_fields`](/api/create-custom-profile-field),
[`GET /realm/profile_fields`](/api/get-custom-profile-fields): Added a
new parameter `display_in_profile_summary`, which clients use to
decide whether to display the field in a small/summary section of the
user's profile.
stream_bots: Allow bot owners to unsubscribe their bots from streams. Users who owns bots can unsubscribe their bots from streams. Fixes part of: #21402
2022-06-27 21:44:12 +02:00
**Feature level 145**
* [`DELETE users/me/subscriptions`](/api/unsubscribe): Normal users can
now remove bots that they own from streams.
read_receipts: Exclude muted users from read receipts. Removes IDs of users who have muted or been muted by the current user from the list of user IDs returned by the read receipts endpoint. Fixes #22909.
2022-09-12 17:15:00 +02:00
**Feature level 144**
* [`GET /messages/{message_id}/read_receipts`](/api/get-read-receipts):
The `user_ids` array returned by the server no longer includes IDs
of users who have been muted by or have muted the current user.
openapi: Update API feature level permission changes.
2022-09-17 00:26:44 +02:00
**Feature level 143**
* `PATCH /realm`: The `disallow_disposable_email_addresses`,
`emails_restricted_to_domains`, `invite_required`, and
`waiting_period_threshold` settings can no longer be changed by
organization administrators who are not owners.
* `PATCH /realm/domains`, `POST /realm/domains`, `DELETE
/realm/domains`: Organization administrators who are not owners can
no longer access these endpoints.
stream: Add do_change_can_remove_subscribers_group and field to objects. This commit adds do_change_can_remove_subscriber_group function for changing can_remove_subscribers_group field of a stream. We also add can_remove_subscribers_group_id field to stream and subscription objects. This function will be helpful for writing tests in next commit. We would add API and UI support to change this setting in further commits.
2022-06-27 18:39:33 +02:00

* [`GET users/me/subscriptions`](/api/get-subscriptions), [`GET
/streams`](/api/get-streams), [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue),
[`GET /events`](/api/get-events): Added `can_remove_subscribers_group_id`
field to Stream and Subscription objects.
user_settings: Add user setting to control the user list style. Added a user_list_style personal user setting to the bottom of Settings > Display settings > Theme section which controls the look of the right sidebar user list. The radio button UI includes a preview of what the styles look like. The setting is intended to eventually have 3 possible values: COMPACT, WITH_STATUS and WITH_AVATAR; the final value is not yet implemented. Co-authored-by: Tim Abbott <tabbott@zulip.com>

/realm/user_settings_defaults`](/api/update-realm-user-settings-defaults):
Added new `user_list_style` display setting, which controls the
layout of the right sidebar.
emoji: Add which emoji are supported to the /register call. Fixes #21037. This is part of fixing #19371. To bulk-add new emoji regularly, mobile needs to know which servers support which emoji. `staticfiles_storage.url` generates a unique URL with a hash based on the file content, which lets mobile know if it needs to update its locally stored data.
2022-06-21 23:56:52 +02:00
**Feature level 140**
* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue): Added string field `server_emoji_data_url`
to the response.
subscriptions: Send update events for `is_muted` property. In Zulip 2.1.0, the `is_muted` stream subscription property was added and replaced the `in_home_view` property. But the server has still only been sending subscription update events with the `in_home_view` property. Updates `do_change_subscription_property` to send a subscription update event for both `is_muted` and `in_home_view`, so that clients can fully migrate away from using `in_home_view` allowing us to eventually remove it completely.
2022-08-09 20:37:07 +02:00
**Feature level 139**
* [`GET /get-events`](/api/get-events): When a user mutes or unmutes
their subscription to a stream, a `subscription` update event
is now sent for the `is_muted` property and for the deprecated
`in_home_view` property to support clients fully migrating to use the
`is_muted` property. Prior to this feature level, only one event was
sent to clients with the deprecated `in_home_view` property.
message_edit: Make zero invalid value for message_content_edit_time_limit_seconds. This commit changes the code to consider zero as an invalid value for message_content_edit_time_limit_seconds. Now to represent the setting that user can edit the message anytime, the setting value will be "None" in database and "unlimited" will be passed to API from clients.
2022-04-12 13:13:02 +02:00
**Feature level 138**
* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue), [`GET
/events`](/api/get-events): `message_content_edit_limit_seconds`
now represents no limit using `null`, instead of the integer 0.
* `PATCH /realm`: One now sets `message_content_edit_limit_seconds`
to no limit by passing the string `unlimited`, rather than the
integer 0.
realm: Add support to change enable_read_receipts setting. This commit adds support to change enable_read_receipts setting through API and also adds the field to response of "/register" endpoint so that the setting value is available to clients.
2022-08-04 11:43:59 +02:00
**Feature level 137**
read_receipts: Add support for displaying read receipts. Adds an API endpoint for accessing read receipts for other users, as well as a modal UI for displaying that information. Enables the previously merged privacy settings UI for managing whether a user makes read receipts data available to other users. Documentation is pending, and we'll likely want to link to the documentation with help_settings_link once it is complete. Fixes #3618. Co-authored-by: Tim Abbott <tabbott@zulip.com>
2021-06-16 21:15:47 +02:00
* [`GET /messages/{message_id}/read_receipts`](/api/get-read-receipts):
Added new endpoint to fetch read receipts for a message.
realm: Add support to change enable_read_receipts setting. This commit adds support to change enable_read_receipts setting through API and also adds the field to response of "/register" endpoint so that the setting value is available to clients.
2022-08-04 11:43:59 +02:00
* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue), [`GET
/events`](/api/get-events), `PATCH /realm`: Added new
`enable_read_receipts` realm setting.
streams: Allow changing history access without is_private parameter. We now allow changing access to history of the stream by only passing "history_public_to_subscribers" parameter. Previously, "is_private" parameter was also required to change history_public_to_subscribers otherwise the request was silently ignored. We also raise error when only history_public_to_subscribers parameter is passed with value False without "is_private: True" for a public or web-public stream since we do not allow public streams with protected history.
2022-05-30 13:53:52 +02:00
**Feature level 136**
* [`PATCH /streams/{stream_id}`](/api/update-stream): The endpoint
now returns an error for a request to make a public stream with
protected history which was previously ignored silently.
* [`PATCH /streams/{stream_id}`](/api/update-stream): Added support
to change access to history of the stream by only passing
`history_public_to_subscribers` parameter without `is_private`
and `is_web_public` parameters.
settings: Send email after deactivating user. This adds a feature where an admin can choose to send an email with custom content to an user after they deactivated them. Fixes #18943.
2021-11-27 15:26:09 +01:00
**Feature level 135**
* [`DELETE /user/{user_id}`](/api/deactivate-user): Added
`deactivation_notification_comment` field controlling whether the
user receives a notification email about their deactivation.
user_topic: Add user_topic event. We now send a new user_topic event while muting and unmuting topics. fetch_initial_state_data now returns an additional user_topics array to the client that will maintain the user-topic relationship data. This will support any future addition of new features to modify the relationship between a user-topic pair. This commit adds the relevent backend code and schema for the new event.
2022-02-25 21:48:56 +01:00
**Feature level 134**
* [`GET /events`](/api/get-events): Added `user_topic` event type
which is sent when a topic is muted or unmuted. This generalizes and
replaces the previous `muted_topics` array, which will no longer be
sent if `user_topic` was included in `event_types` when registering
the queue.
* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue): Added `user_topics` array
to the response. This generalizes and replaces the previous
`muted_topics` array, which will no longer be sent if `user_topic`
is included in `fetch_event_types`.
realm: Removed WILDCARD_MENTION_POLICY_STREAM_ADMINS option. This commit removes WILDCARD_MENTION_POLICY_STREAM_ADMINS option of wildcard_mention_policy since we are not moving forward with stream administrator concept and instead working on new permssions model as per #19525. We also add a migration to change wildcard_mention_policy of existing realms to WILDCARD_MENTION_POLICY_ADMINS. This change is fine since we were already treating both the setting values as same as stream admin concept was not implemented completely.
2022-07-05 14:35:17 +02:00
**Feature level 133**
* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue), `PATCH /realm`: Removed

the user group objects to `direct_subgroup_ids`.
* [`GET /events`](/api/get-events): Renamed `subgroup_ids` field
in the group object to `direct_subgroup_ids`.
org_settings: Add backend support to change bot role. This commit attempts to add the backend support by extending the /json/bots/{bot_id}/ url support to accept the role field as a parameter. This was previously already possible via `/json/users/{user_id}`, so this change just simplifies client implementation.
2022-05-07 09:03:02 +02:00
**Feature level 130**
* `PATCH /bots/{bot_user_id}`: Added support for changing a bot's role
via this endpoint. Previously, this could only be done via [`PATCH
/users/{user_id}`](/api/update-user).

`want_advertise_in_communities_directory` for organizations to give
permission to be advertised in the Zulip communities directory.
backend: Add `org_type` to realm settings updates and events. `org_type` already exists as a field in the Realm model and is used when organizations are created / updated in Zulip Cloud, via the `/analytics/support` view. Extends the `PATCH /realm` view to be able update `org_type` as other realm / organization settings are updated, but using the special log / action that was created for the analytics view. Adds a field to the `realm op: update` / `realm op: update_dict` events, which also means an event is now sent when and if the `org_type` is updated via the analytics view. This is similar to how updates to an organization's `plan_type` trigger events. Adds `realm_org_type` as a realm setting fetched from the `POST /register` endpoint.

Added new endpoint for updating subgroups of a user group.
user_groups: Add endpoint to check whether a user is member of a group. This commit adds 'GET /user_groups/{id}/members/{id}' endpoint to check whether a user is member of a group. This commit also adds for_read parameter to access_user_group_by_id, which if passed as True will provide access to read user group even if it a system group or if non-admin acting user is not part of the group.
2022-03-18 14:38:11 +01:00
* [`GET /user_groups/{user_group_id}/members/{user_id}`](/api/get-is-user-group-member):

user_groups: Add API endpoint to get members of a user group. This commit adds 'GET /user_groups/{user_group_id}/members' endpoint to get members of a user group. "direct_member_only" parameter can be passed as True to the endpoint to get only direct members of the user group and not the members of subgroup.
2022-03-24 11:39:57 +01:00

user_settings: Add a setting to display names of users who reacted. Added a setting to the bottom of Settings > Display settings > Theme section to display the reacting users on a message when numnber of reactions are small. This is a preparatory commit for #20980.
2022-04-08 16:04:22 +02:00
**Feature level 125**
* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue), [`PATCH
/settings`](/api/update-settings), [`PATCH
/realm/user_settings_defaults`](/api/update-realm-user-settings-defaults):
Added new `display_emoji_reaction_users` display setting,
controlling whether to display the names of users with emoji reactions.

## Changes in Zulip 5.0
update_realm: Allow demo orgs to be converted to regular orgs. This commit adds support to the `PATCH /realm` endpoint for converting a demo organization to a regular organization. This is a part of #19523.
2021-09-13 20:01:35 +02:00
Release Zulip Server 5.0.
2022-03-29 17:13:34 +02:00
**Feature level 122**
No changes; feature level used for Zulip 5.0 release.
events: Add functionality to mark messages as unread. Co-authored-by: Steve Howell <showell@zulip.com> Co-authored-by: Tim Abbott <tabbott@zulip.com> This commit adds the backend functionality to mark messages as unread through update_message_flags with `unread` flag and `remove` operation. We also manage incoming events in the webapp. Tweaked by tabbott to simplify the implementation and add an API feature level update to the documentation. This commit was originally drafted by showell, and showell also finalized the changes. Many thanks to Suyash here for the main work here, which was to get all the tests and documentation work moving forward.
2021-06-09 13:31:39 +02:00
**Feature level 121**
* [`GET /events`](/api/get-events): Added `message_details` field
appearing in message flag update events when marking previously read
messages as unread.
api: Send full message in GET /messages/{message_id} response. Previously, this URL just returned the `raw_content` field. It seems cleanest to just make it a single-message variant of GET /messages, deprecating the only format.
2022-03-02 05:33:20 +01:00
**Feature level 120**
* [`GET /messages/{message_id}`](/api/get-message): This endpoint
now sends the full message details. Previously, it only returned
the message's raw Markdown content.
unread: Replace sender_id with other_user_id. Note that we still send sender_id for legacy mobile clients.
2022-03-07 16:47:49 +01:00
**Feature level 119**
* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue): The `unread_msgs` section
of the response now prefers `other_user_id` over the poorly named
`sender_id` field in the `pms` dictionaries. This change is
motivated by the possibility that a message you yourself sent to
another user could be marked as unread.
api: Add additional fields to `edit_history` entries. Since we've changed the database to contain these new fields, we just need to stop dropping them in the API code. This also changes the public API to match the database format again by removing `prev_subject` from edit history API. Adds an API changelog feature update for the renamed `prev_subject` field (to `prev_topic`) and new fields (`topic` and `stream`) in the message `edit_history`. Also, documents said `edit_history` in the `MessagesBase` schema in the api documentation, which is used by the `/get-messages`, `/get-events` and `/zulip-outgoing-webhooks` endpoints. Fixes #21076. Co-authored-by: Lauryn Menard <lauryn.menard@gmail.com>
2022-02-14 17:04:39 +01:00
**Feature level 118**
* [`GET /messages`](/api/get-messages), [`GET
/events`](/api/get-events): Improved the format of the
`edit_history` object within message objects. Entries for stream
edits now include a both a `prev_stream` and `stream` field to
api-changelog: Clarify feature level 118 entry about `prev_stream`. Clarifies that the `prev_stream` field was in the message edit history prior to these changes.

indicate the previous and current stream IDs. Prior to this feature
level, only the `prev_stream` field was present. Entries for topic

2022-02-14 17:04:39 +01:00
edits now include both a `prev_topic` and `topic` field to indicate
the previous and current topic, replacing the `prev_subject`
field. These changes substantially simplify client complexity for
processing historical message edits.
* [`GET messages/{message_id}/history`](/api/get-message-history):
Added `stream` field to message history `snapshot` indicating
the updated stream ID of messages moved to a new stream.
push_notifications: Include stream_id in the notification data. Closes #18067. Previous only the stream name was sent, which is an unstable stream identifier.
2022-01-29 22:59:06 +01:00
invite: Add backend support for "Never expires" option. The database value for expiry_date is None for the invite that will never expire and the clients send -1 as value in the API similar to the message retention setting. Also, when passing invite_expire_in_days as an argument in various functions, invite_expire_in_days is passed as -1 for "Never expires" option since invite_expire_in_days is an optional argument in some functions and thus we cannot pass "None" value.
2021-11-30 13:34:37 +01:00
**Feature level 117**
* `POST /invites`, `POST /invites/multiuse`: Added support for passing
`null` as the `invite_expires_in_days` parameter to request an
invitation that never expires.
api: Include realm_web_public_access_enabled in get-server-settings. Adds `realm_web_public_access_enabled` as a realm-specific server setting potentially returned by the `/get-server-settings` endpoint so that clients that support browsing of web-public stream content without an account can generate a login page that supports that type of access.
2022-02-20 21:40:59 +01:00
**Feature level 116**
* [`GET /server_settings`](/api/get-server-settings): Added
`realm_web_public_access_enabled` as a realm-specific server setting,
which can be used by clients to detect whether the realm allows and
help: Rename `web-public-streams` page to `public-access-option`.
2022-04-28 12:49:40 +02:00
has at least one [web-public stream](/help/public-access-option).
api: Include realm_web_public_access_enabled in get-server-settings. Adds `realm_web_public_access_enabled` as a realm-specific server setting potentially returned by the `/get-server-settings` endpoint so that clients that support browsing of web-public stream content without an account can generate a login page that supports that type of access.
2022-02-20 21:40:59 +01:00
push_notifications: Include stream_id in the notification data. Closes #18067. Previous only the stream name was sent, which is an unstable stream identifier.
2022-01-29 22:59:06 +01:00
**Feature level 115**
* Mobile push notifications about stream messages now include the
`stream_id` field.
api: Update `update_message` event required fields. Makes `edit_timestamp` and `user_id` required fields for all `update_message` events. Adds `rendering_only` as another required field to signal if events are only updating the rendered content of the message, which is currently the case for adding inline url previews. Updates `test_event.py` so that `do_update_message` and `do_update_embedded_data` refer to the same testing schema for `update_message` events, and therefore reflect the same required fields for the `update_message` event. The OpenAPI definition for `update_message` events is also updated to reflect the required field and descriptions of various properties are updated for the addition of the `rendering_only` property.
2022-01-14 15:23:49 +01:00
**Feature level 114**
* [`GET /events`](/api/get-events): Added `rendering_only` field to
`update_message` event type to indicate if the message change only
updated the rendering of the message or if it was the result of a
user interaction.
* [`GET /events`](/api/get-events): Updated `update_message` event type
to always include `edit_timestamp` and `user_id` fields. If the event
only updates the rendering of the message, then the `user_id` field
will be present, but with a value of null as the update was not the
result of a user interaction.
mypy: Add EmojiInfo type. We now serialize still_url as None for non-animated emojis, instead of omitting the field. The webapp does proper checks for falsiness here. The mobile app does not yet use the field (to my knowledge). We bump the API version here. More discussion here: https://chat.zulip.org/#narrow/stream/378-api-design/topic/still_url/near/1302573
2021-12-29 16:16:15 +01:00
**Feature level 113**
* `GET /realm/emoji`, `POST /realm/emoji/{emoji_name}`, [`GET
/events`](/api/get-events), [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue):
The `still_url` field for custom emoji objects is now always
present, with a value of null for non-animated emoji. Previously, it
only was present for animated emoji.
api: Include `stream_id` field for all edits to stream messages. Updates the `update_message` event type to always include a `stream_id` field when the message being edited is a stream message. This change aligns with the current definition of the `\get-events` endpoint in the OpenAPI documentation.
2021-12-14 18:14:10 +01:00
**Feature level 112**
* [`GET /events`](/api/get-events): Updated `update_message` event type
to include `stream_id` field for all edits to stream messages.
api: Migrate `/update-subscription-settings` response value. Migrates the `/update-subscription-settings` api endpoint to the `ignored_parameters_unsupported` model, which is also currently used by `/update-settings` and `update-realm-user-settings-defaults`. This change is a step towards preparing for an eventual migration to have all endpoints return an `ignored_parameters_unsupported` block. Previously the `/update-subscription-settings` endpoint returned a copy of the data object sent in the request. Fixes #15307.
2021-11-24 18:00:12 +01:00
**Feature level 111**
subscriptions: Send update events for `is_muted` property. In Zulip 2.1.0, the `is_muted` stream subscription property was added and replaced the `in_home_view` property. But the server has still only been sending subscription update events with the `in_home_view` property. Updates `do_change_subscription_property` to send a subscription update event for both `is_muted` and `in_home_view`, so that clients can fully migrate away from using `in_home_view` allowing us to eventually remove it completely.
2022-08-09 20:37:07 +02:00
* [`POST /users/me/subscriptions/properties`](/api/update-subscription-settings):
api: Migrate `/update-subscription-settings` response value. Migrates the `/update-subscription-settings` api endpoint to the `ignored_parameters_unsupported` model, which is also currently used by `/update-settings` and `update-realm-user-settings-defaults`. This change is a step towards preparing for an eventual migration to have all endpoints return an `ignored_parameters_unsupported` block. Previously the `/update-subscription-settings` endpoint returned a copy of the data object sent in the request. Fixes #15307.
2021-11-24 18:00:12 +01:00
Removed `subscription_data` from response object, replacing it with
`ignored_parameters_unsupported`.
api docs: Update API docs and changelog for new setting. The commit 2c1a87166ca5bb4819fd71f78ada42dbb61d5ae7 did not properly document the new feature in the changelog; while I was at it, I wrote more detail in the field's description.
2021-11-23 23:05:31 +01:00
**Feature level 110**
* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue): Added
`server_web_public_streams_enabled` to the response.
realm: Add option to enable/disable spectator login. We restrict access of messages from web public streams if anonymous login is disabled via `enable_spectator_access`. Display of `Anonymous login` button is now controlled by the value of `enable_spectator_access`. Admins can toggle `enable_spectator_access` via org settings in UI.
2021-10-03 14:16:07 +02:00
**Feature level 109**
* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue), [`GET
/events`](/api/get-events), `PATCH /realm`: Added new
`enable_spectator_access` realm setting.
auth: Include user_id in the params returned at the end of mobile flow. The user id is a very useful piece of information that the mobile client should have access to - instead of only getting the email. This makes it much simpler to impleent clients that might be robust to changes in email address.
2021-11-16 16:04:04 +01:00
**Feature level 108**
* In the mobile application authentication flow, the authenticated
user's `user_id` is now included in the parameters encoded in the
final `zulip://` redirect URL.
user_settings: Add option to disable escape key navigation to default view. Add `escape_navigates_to_default_view` as a bool setting in UserBaseSettings model and implement it as a checkbox that toggles the hotkey implementation of escape to the default view in the advanced user display settings. With /help/ documentation edits from Alya Abbott. Fixes #20043.
2021-10-25 19:17:19 +02:00
**Feature level 107**
api: Fix feature level 107 in the API change log. Addes a new line between feature level 107 and its content so that said content renders correctly as an unordered list item.
2021-12-14 18:21:18 +01:00
user_settings: Add option to disable escape key navigation to default view. Add `escape_navigates_to_default_view` as a bool setting in UserBaseSettings model and implement it as a checkbox that toggles the hotkey implementation of escape to the default view in the advanced user display settings. With /help/ documentation edits from Alya Abbott. Fixes #20043.
2021-10-25 19:17:19 +02:00
* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue), [`PATCH /settings`](/api/update-settings),
[`PATCH /realm/user_settings_defaults`](/api/update-realm-user-settings-defaults):
Added user setting `escape_navigates_to_default_view` to allow users to
[disable the keyboard shortcut](/help/configure-default-view) for the `Esc` key that
navigates the app to the default view.
api: Remove encoding of string in update_user endpoint. * Remove unnecessary json_validator for full_name parameter. * Update frontend to pass the right parameter. * Update documentation and note the change. Fixes #18409.
2021-10-16 19:52:57 +02:00
**Feature level 106**
* [`PATCH /user/{user_id}`](/api/update-user): Removed unnecessary JSON-encoding of string
parameter `full_name`.
user_settings: Add settings to configure sending typing notifications. Note: These are not functional in enabling/disabling sending of typing notifications with this commit. Refactored the privacy settings update to keep the code less duplicated along with making the addition of new settings easier.
2021-10-03 08:36:36 +02:00
**Feature level 105**
* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue), [`PATCH
/settings`](/api/update-settings), [`PATCH
/realm/user_settings_defaults`](/api/update-realm-user-settings-defaults):
user_settings: Add send_read_receipts setting. This will be useful to let users enable/disable sharing read receipts once we add that feature. Note: Added "I've" to IGNORED_PHRASES in tools/lib/capitalization.py to avoid capitalization errors for the label text of this setting.
2021-10-03 08:53:35 +02:00
Added three new privacy settings: `send_private_typing_notifications`,
`send_stream_typing_notifications`, and `send_read_receipts`.
user_settings: Add settings to configure sending typing notifications. Note: These are not functional in enabling/disabling sending of typing notifications with this commit. Refactored the privacy settings update to keep the code less duplicated along with making the addition of new settings easier.
2021-10-03 08:36:36 +02:00
update_realm: Allow demo orgs to be converted to regular orgs. This commit adds support to the `PATCH /realm` endpoint for converting a demo organization to a regular organization. This is a part of #19523.
2021-09-13 20:01:35 +02:00
**Feature level 104**
api-docs: Add `create_web_public_stream_policy` to realm update. Adds `create_web_public_stream_policy` to the `get-events` API documentation for the `realm op:update` event. Also, fixes changelog entries for feature levels 103 and 104, which are related to the API documentation changes or fix an error in references to the undocumented endpoint `PATCH /realm`.
2022-05-18 21:44:58 +02:00
* `PATCH /realm`: Added `string_id` parameter for changing an

changing a demo organization to a normal one.
version: Update version following 4.0 release.
2021-05-13 21:34:50 +02:00
models: Add create_web_public_stream_policy setting. This commit adds create_web_public_stream_policy field to Realm table which controls the roles that can create web-public streams and by default its value is set to POLICY_OWNERS_ONLY.
2021-10-04 08:33:31 +02:00
**Feature level 103**
* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue): Added `create_web_public_stream_policy`
docs: Consistently hyphenate “web-public”. In English, compound adjectives should essentially always be hyphenated. This makes them easier to parse, especially for users who might not recognize that the words “web public” go together as a phrase. Signed-off-by: Anders Kaseorg <anders@zulip.com>
2022-01-29 00:54:13 +01:00
policy for which users can create web-public streams.
api-docs: Add `create_web_public_stream_policy` to realm update. Adds `create_web_public_stream_policy` to the `get-events` API documentation for the `realm op:update` event. Also, fixes changelog entries for feature levels 103 and 104, which are related to the API documentation changes or fix an error in references to the undocumented endpoint `PATCH /realm`.
2022-05-18 21:44:58 +02:00
* [`GET /events`](/api/get-events), `PATCH /realm`: Added support for updating
`create_web_public_stream_policy`.
register: Add can_create_web_public_streams to register response.
2021-10-04 19:28:33 +02:00
* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue): Added `can_create_web_public_streams` boolean
field to the response.
models: Add create_web_public_stream_policy setting. This commit adds create_web_public_stream_policy field to Realm table which controls the roles that can create web-public streams and by default its value is set to POLICY_OWNERS_ONLY.
2021-10-04 08:33:31 +02:00
streams: Split setting for stream creation policy. Users wanted a feature where they could specify which users can create public streams and which users can create private streams. This splits stream creation code into two parts, public and private stream creation. Fixes #17009.
2021-03-27 05:48:37 +01:00
**Feature level 102**
* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue), `PATCH /realm`: The
`create_stream_policy` setting was split into two settings for
different types of streams: `create_private_stream_policy` and
`create_public_stream_policy`.
* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue): The `create_stream_policy`
property was deprecated in favor of the
`create_private_stream_policy` and `create_public_stream_policy`
properties, but it still available for backwards-compatibility.
realm: Replace allow_message_deleting with delete_own_message_policy. This commit replaces 'allow_message_deleting' boolean setting with an integer setting 'delete_own_message_policy'. We have a separate dropdown now for deciding which user-roles can delete messages sent by themselves and the time-limit setting droddown is different. This new setting has two options - everyone and admins only. Other options including moderators will be added further. We also remove the "Never" option from the original time-limit dropdown, as admins are always allowed to delete message. This never option resembled the case of only admins being allowed to delete but this state is now resembled by setting the dropdown to "admins only" and we also disable the time-limit dropdown in this case as admins are allowed to delete irrespective of limit. Note, this setting is only for deleting messages sent by the deleting user themselves, and only admins are allowed to delete messages sent by others as before.
2021-06-08 13:45:14 +02:00
**Feature level 101**
* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue), `PATCH /realm`: Replaced
the `allow_message_deleting` boolean field with an integer field
`delete_own_message_policy` defining which roles can delete messages
they had sent.
message: Make zero invalid value for message_content_delete_limit_seconds. We make zero invalid value for message_content_delete_limit_seconds and for handling the case of "Allow to delete message any time", the API-level value of message_content_delete_limit_seconds is "anytime" and "None" as the DB-level value. We also use these values for message retention setting, so it helps maintain consistency.
2021-06-14 18:49:28 +02:00
**Feature level 100**
* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue), [`GET
/events`](/api/get-events): `message_content_delete_limit_seconds`
openapi: Say message_content_delete_limit_seconds won't be 0 anymore. I think this is ensured by an assertion in parse_message_content_delete_limit in zerver/lib/message.py: https://github.com/zulip/zulip/blob/b13bfa09c/zerver/lib/message.py#L1482
2021-11-02 00:26:13 +01:00
now represents no limit using `null`, instead of the integer 0, and 0 is
no longer a possible value with any meaning.
message: Make zero invalid value for message_content_delete_limit_seconds. We make zero invalid value for message_content_delete_limit_seconds and for handling the case of "Allow to delete message any time", the API-level value of message_content_delete_limit_seconds is "anytime" and "None" as the DB-level value. We also use these values for message retention setting, so it helps maintain consistency.
2021-06-14 18:49:28 +02:00
* `PATCH /realm`: One now sets `message_content_delete_limit_seconds`
to no limit by passing the string `unlimited`, rather than the
integer 0.
settings: Migrate twenty_four_hour_time setting to RealmUserDefault. This commit removes the existing default_twenty_four_hour_time field in Realm table which was used to set the twenty_four_hour_time setting of new user on joining and instead we now use the twenty_four_hour_time field of RealmUserDefault table for the same. With some tweaks by tabbott to clarify the documentation.
2021-09-17 18:11:37 +02:00
**Feature level 99**
* [`PATCH /realm/user_settings_defaults`](/api/update-realm-user-settings-defaults),
`PATCH /realm`: The `default_twenty_four_hour_time` parameter to
`PATCH /realm` has been replaced by the `twenty_four_hour_time` parameter
to `PATCH /realm/user_settings_defaults`, to match the new model for
user preference defaults settings.
* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue): Removed `realm_default_twenty_four_hour_time`
from the response object. This value is now available in the
`twenty_four_hour_time` field of the `realm_user_settings_default` object.
subscribe: Allow web public stream creation via the API. User can now create web public stream via the /subscribe API. So, when a web public stream present in the API request does not exist, it will be created now by specifying the is_web_public parameter. The parameter would have been ignored without this commit.
2021-05-20 10:50:17 +02:00
**Feature level 98**
* [`POST /subscribe`](/api/subscribe): Added `is_web_public` parameter
for requesting the creation of a web-public stream.
update_stream_backend: Add ability to make streams web public. We allow clients to make existing streams web public via the API. This feature is still disabled via settings in production environments, because we may have additional policy rules or UI warnings we wish to add to this sort of conversion.
2020-11-10 14:15:04 +01:00
* [`PATCH /streams/{stream_id}`](/api/update-stream): Added
`is_web_public` parameter for converting a stream into a web-public stream.
subscribe: Allow web public stream creation via the API. User can now create web public stream via the /subscribe API. So, when a web public stream present in the API request does not exist, it will be created now by specifying the is_web_public parameter. The parameter would have been ignored without this commit.
2021-05-20 10:50:17 +02:00
emoji: Add backend changes to support still image for animated emojis. Now, when we add a custom animated emoji to the realm we also save a still image of it (1st frame of the gif). So we can avoid showing an animated emoji every time.
2021-08-12 10:19:53 +02:00
**Feature level 97**
* `GET /realm/emoji`, `POST /realm/emoji/{emoji_name}`, [`GET
/events`](/api/get-events), [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue):
Custom emoji objects may now contain a `still_url` field, with the
URL of a PNG still image version of the emoji. This field will only be
present for animated emoji.
realm: Add 'PATCH /realm/user_settings_defaults' endpoint. The realm-level default value of settngs for new users will be updated using this endpoint.
2021-07-21 13:23:23 +02:00
**Feature level 96**
* [`PATCH /realm/user_settings_defaults`](/api/update-realm-user-settings-defaults):
Added new endpoint to update default values of user settings in a realm.
api docs: Add missing changelog entries for invitation endpoints. We apparently neglected to add these when changing the implementations.
2022-02-25 01:35:22 +01:00
* `POST /invites`, `POST /invites/multiuse`: Added
`invite_expires_in_days` parameter encoding the number days before
the invitation should expire.
realm: Add 'PATCH /realm/user_settings_defaults' endpoint. The realm-level default value of settngs for new users will be updated using this endpoint.
2021-07-21 13:23:23 +02:00
actions: Add do_set_realm_user_default_setting. This commit adds do_set_realm_user_default_setting which will be used to change the realm-level defaults of settings for new users. We also add a new event type "realm_user_settings_defaults" for these settings and a "realm_user_settings_default" object in '/register' response containing all the realm-level default settings.
2021-07-21 13:40:46 +02:00
**Feature level 95**
* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue): Added
`realm_user_settings_defaults` object, containing default values of
personal user settings for new users in the realm.
* [`GET /events`](/api/get-events): Added
`realm_user_settings_defaults` event type, which is sent when the
organization's configured default settings for new users change.
events: Add demo_organization_scheduled_deletion_date to /register. This commit adds `demo_organization_scheduled_deletion_date` to the `realm` section of the `/register` response so that it is available to clients when enabled. This is a part of #19523.

2021-09-04 01:42:30 +02:00
* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue): Added
`demo_organization_scheduled_deletion_date` field to realm data.
user_groups: Add 'is_system_group' field to objects passed to clients.
2021-08-06 19:31:00 +02:00
**Feature level 93**
* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue), [`GET /user_groups`](/api/get-user-groups),
[`GET /events`](/api/get-events): Added `is_system_group` field to user group
objects.
api: Default `client_gravatar` to `true`. Default `client_gravatar` to `true` for all endpoints passing the parameter to avoid extra payload. Fixes #11214.
2021-08-05 19:48:43 +02:00
**Feature level 92**
* [`GET /messages`](/api/get-messages), [`POST
/register`](/api/register-queue), [`GET /users`](/api/get-users),
[`GET /users/{user_id}`](/api/get-user), [`GET
/users/{email}`](/api/get-user-by-email): The `client_gravatar`
parameter now defaults to `true`.
setting: Use "unlimited" instead of "forever" for retention setting. This commit updates both the stream-level and realm-level message retention setting to use 'unlimited' instead of 'forever' to set message retention setting to "retain messages forever".
2021-08-02 18:43:08 +02:00
**Feature level 91**
* `PATCH /realm`, [`PATCH /streams/{stream_id}`](/api/update-stream):
These endpoints now accept `"unlimited"` for `message_retention_days`,
replacing `"forever"` as the way to encode a retention policy where
messages are not automatically deleted.
page load: Remove sender_ids in unread messages for streams.
2021-07-19 15:06:58 +02:00
**Feature level 90**
api docs: Fix API documentation bugs issues with last commit. * Actually bump API_FEATURE_LEVEL. * Document changes in the endpoint documentation as well. * Use standard linking/wording approach in API changelog.
2021-08-04 19:48:42 +02:00
* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue): The `unread_msgs` section
of the response no longer includes `sender_ids` in the `streams`
dictionaries. These were removed because no clients were interested
in using the data, which required substantial complexity to
construct correctly.
page load: Remove sender_ids in unread messages for streams.
2021-07-19 15:06:58 +02:00
events: Add new event type 'user_settings' for updating user settings. We send a event with type 'user_settings' on updating user's display and notification settings. The old event types - 'update_global_notifications' and 'update_display_settings', are still supported for backwards compatibility.
2021-07-26 08:35:27 +02:00
**Feature level 89**
api docs: Improve documentation for user_settings transition.
2021-08-02 00:07:53 +02:00
* [`GET /events`](/api/get-events): Introduced the `user_settings`
event type, unifying and replacing the previous
`update_display_settings` and `update_global_notifications` event
types. The legacy event types are still supported for backwards
compatibility, but will be removed in a future release.
* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue): Added `user_settings` field
in the response, which is a dictionary containing all the user's
personal settings. For backwards-compatibility, individual settings
will still appear in the top-level response for clients don't
support the `user_settings_object` client capability.
* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue): Added the
events: Add "user_settings_object" to client_capabilities. This commit adds "user_settings_object" field to client_capabilities which will be used to determine if the client needs 'update_display_settings' and 'update_global_notifications' event.
2021-07-24 19:51:25 +02:00
`user_settings_object` property to supported `client_capabilities`.
api docs: Improve documentation for user_settings transition.
2021-08-02 00:07:53 +02:00
When enabled, the server will not include a duplicate copy of
personal settings in the top-level response.
events: Add "user_settings_object" to client_capabilities. This commit adds "user_settings_object" field to client_capabilities which will be used to determine if the client needs 'update_display_settings' and 'update_global_notifications' event.
2021-07-24 19:51:25 +02:00
* [`GET /events`](/api/get-events): `update_display_settings` and
api docs: Improve documentation for user_settings transition.
2021-08-02 00:07:53 +02:00
`update_global_notifications` events now only sent to clients that
did not include `user_settings_object` in their
`client_capabilities` when the event queue was created.
events: Add new event type 'user_settings' for updating user settings. We send a event with type 'user_settings' on updating user's display and notification settings. The old event types - 'update_global_notifications' and 'update_display_settings', are still supported for backwards compatibility.
2021-07-26 08:35:27 +02:00
api: Return zulip_merge_base alongside zulip_version. Return zulip_merge_base alongside zulip_version in `/register`, `/event` and `/server_settings` endpoint so that the value can be used by other clients.
2021-07-30 12:25:53 +02:00
**Feature level 88**
* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue): Added `zulip_merge_base`
field to the response.
* [`GET /events`](/api/get-events): Added new `zulip_merge_base`
field to the `restart` event.
* [`GET /server_settings`](/api/get-server-settings): Added
`zulip_merge_base` to the responses which can be used to
make "About Zulip" widgets in clients.
drafts: Add support for toggling drafts synchronization. With changes mostly to the API documentation by tabbott.
2021-07-24 06:56:56 +02:00
**Feature level 87**
* [`PATCH /settings`](/api/update-settings): Added a new
`enable_drafts_synchronization` setting, which controls whether the
syncing drafts between different clients is enabled.
drafts: Add API documentation for the core drafts endpoints. These were added at some point in the past, but were not complete, and it makes sense to document the current feature level as and when they become available, since clients should not use the drafts endpoints on older feature levels.
2021-02-14 12:56:14 +01:00
drafts: Add support for toggling drafts synchronization. With changes mostly to the API documentation by tabbott.
2021-07-24 06:56:56 +02:00
* [`GET /events`](/api/get-events), [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue):
Added new `enable_drafts_synchronization` setting under
`update_display_settings`.
drafts: Add API documentation for the core drafts endpoints. These were added at some point in the past, but were not complete, and it makes sense to document the current feature level as and when they become available, since clients should not use the drafts endpoints on older feature levels.
2021-02-14 12:56:14 +01:00
* [`GET /drafts`](/api/get-drafts): Added new endpoint to fetch user's
synced drafts from the server.
* [`POST /drafts`](/api/create-drafts): Added new endpoint to create
drafts when syncing has been enabled.
* [`PATCH /drafts/{draft_id}`](/api/edit-draft): Added new endpoint
to edit a draft already owned by the user.
* [`DELETE /drafts/{draft_id}`](/api/delete-draft): Added new endpoint
to delete a draft already owned by the user.
user_status: Add backend changes to support status emoji. In this commit: * We update the `UserStatus` model to accept `AbstractReaction` as a base class so, we can get all the fields related to store status emoji. * We update the user status endpoint (`users/me/status`) to accept status emoji fields. * We update the user status event to add status emoji fields.

2021-06-22 18:42:31 +02:00
**Feature level 86**
* [`GET /events`](/api/get-events): Added `emoji_name`,
`emoji_code`, and `reaction_type` fields to `user_status` objects.
* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue): Added `emoji_name`,
`emoji_code`, and `reaction_type` fields to `user_status` objects.
api_docs: Revise emoji documentation for statuses and reactions. Adds and updates changelog documentation for `POST /users/me/status` feature level 86 addition of new emoji parameters. Makes description text for emoji `reaction_type` consistent throughout API documentation and also adds better description of the `unicode_emoji` namespace. Redirects emoji field links in `user_status` event to go to the parameters in `/update-status` endpoint, which was not a documented endpoint when the event documentation was created.
2022-04-11 21:35:54 +02:00
* [`POST /users/me/status`](/api/update-status): Added support for new
`emoji_name`, `emoji_code`, and `reaction_type` parameters.

2021-06-22 18:42:31 +02:00
models: Replace add_emoji_by_admins_only with add_custom_emoji_policy. This commit replaces boolean field add_emoji_by_admins_only with an integer field add_custom_emoji_policy as we would also add full members and moderators option for this setting in further commits.
2021-05-04 19:02:24 +02:00
**Feature level 85**
* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue), `PATCH /realm`: Replaced `add_emoji_by_admins_only`
field with an integer field `add_custom_emoji_policy`.
events: Send enter_sends if update_display_settings in fetch_event_types. We now send 'enter_sends' in response of '/register' endpoint if 'update_display_settings' is present in 'fetch_event_types' instead of 'realm_user'.
2021-07-26 22:09:17 +02:00
**Feature level 84**
* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue): The `enter_sends` setting
is now sent when `update_display_setting` is present in
`fetch_event_types` instead of `realm_user`.
bots: Rename is_cross_realm_bot API field to is_system_bot. Cross realm bots will soon stop being a thing. This param is responsible for displaying "System Bot" in the user info popover - so this rename is the right way to handle the situation. We will likely want to rename the `cross_realm_bots` section as well, but that is a more involved API migration.
2021-03-07 15:51:55 +01:00
**Feature level 83**
* * [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue): The `cross_realm_bots`
section of the response now uses the `is_system_bot` flag to
indicate whether the bot is a system bot.
api: Allow setting email_notifications_batching_period_seconds. We allow a maximum value of one week to make sure there aren't a huge number of rows in the table for any user (this could happen if stream notifications are enabled). This commit also fixes a small error in the user_settings test.
2021-07-22 10:05:04 +02:00
**Feature level 82**
* [`PATCH /settings`](/api/update-settings) now accepts a new
`email_notifications_batching_period_seconds` field for setting the
time duration for which the server will collect email notifications
before sending them.
api: Remove '/users/me/enter-sends' endpoint. We remove the '/users/me/enter-sends' endpoint and 'enter_sends' setting will now be edited using the '/settings' endpoint.
2021-07-22 18:14:28 +02:00
**Feature level 81**
* `POST /users/me/enter-sends` has been removed. The `enter_sends`
setting is now edited using the normal [`PATCH
/settings`](/api/update-settings) endpoint.
settings: Merge settings API endpoints. This API change removes unnecessary complexity from a client that wants to change a user's personal settings, and also saves developers from needing to make decisions about what sort of setting something is at the API level. We preserve the old settings endpoints as mapping to the same function as the new one for backwards-compatibility. We delete the documentation for the old endpoints, though the documentation for the merged /settings endpoint mentions how to use the old endpoints when needed. We migrate all backend tests to the new endpoints, except for individual tests for each legacy endpoint to verify they still work. Co-authored-by: sahil839 <sahilbatra839@gmail.com>
2021-07-07 22:08:11 +02:00
**Feature level 80**
* [`PATCH /settings`](/api/update-settings): The
`/settings/notifications` and `/settings/display` endpoints were
merged into the main `/settings` endpoint; now all personal settings
should be edited using that single endpoint. The old URLs are
preserved as deprecated aliases for backwards compatibility.
api: Return user IDs, not display emails, in subscribers endpoints. Sometime in the deep past, Zulip the GET /users/me/subscriptions endpoint started returning subscribers. We noticed this and made it optional via the include_subscribers parameter in 1af72a2745e974e67d1cdc6e8af4134c37d4551e, however, we didn't notice that they were being returned as emails rather than user IDs. We migrated the core /register code paths to use subscriber IDs years ago; this change completes that for the endpoints we forgot about. The documentation allowed this error because we apparently had no tests for this code path that used the actual API.
2021-07-17 00:29:45 +02:00
**Feature level 79**
* [`GET /users/me/subscriptions`](/api/get-subscriptions): The
`subscribers` field now returns user IDs if `include_subscribers` is
passed. Previously, this endpoint returned user display email
addresses in this field.
* `GET /streams/{stream_id}/members`: This endpoint now returns user
IDs. Previously, it returned display email addresses.
api: Add "ignored_parameters_unsupported" to response of '/settings'. We add "ignored_parameters_unsupported" field to the response object of 'PATCH /settings' endpoint. This will contain the parameters passed to the endpoint which are not changed by the endpoint and are ignored. This will help in removing the other fields like "full_name" from response which was essentially present to specify that only these fields were updated by the endpoint and rest were ignored. We will also change other endpoints to follow this in future.

`account_email` fields from the response object.
api: Remove "full_name" and "account_email" from response of '/settings'. We remove the "full_name" and "account_email" fields from the response of 'PATCH /settings' endpoint. These fields were part of the response to make sure that we tell that the parameters not present in response were ignored. We can remove these fields as 'ignored_parameters_unsupported' now specifies which parameters were ignored and not supported by the endpoint.
2021-07-15 18:31:34 +02:00
events: Remove `sender_id` from `delete_message` event. Remove `sender_id` as part of responses from `/events` api for `delete_message` event when `message_type` is `private`.
2021-06-12 16:35:17 +02:00
**Feature level 77**

`message_type` is `private`.
exceptions: Use HTTP 401 code for authentication errors.
2021-07-05 20:28:24 +02:00
**Feature level 76**
openapi: Make endpoint operationId dash-separated. The operationId is directly used in URLs of API doc pages to find the OpenAPI data to render. However, this is dash- separated in the URLs, and having underscore_separated IDs in OpenAPI data doesn't allow direct comparison of the two. This commit changes all OperationIDs from underscore_separated to dash-separated.
2021-07-09 16:09:32 +02:00
* [`POST /fetch_api_key`](/api/fetch-api-key), [`POST
/dev_fetch_api_key`](/api/dev-fetch-api-key): The HTTP status for
exceptions: Use HTTP 401 code for authentication errors.
2021-07-05 20:28:24 +02:00
authentication errors is now 401. This was previously 403.
* All API endpoints now use the HTTP 401 error status for API requests
involving a deactivated user or realm. This was previously 403.
* Mobile push notifications now include the `mentioned_user_group_id`
and `mentioned_user_group_name` fields when a user group containing
the user is mentioned. Previously, these were indistinguishable
from personal mentions (as both types have `trigger="mention"`).
models: Replace allow_community_topic_editing with edit_topic_policy. This commit replaces the allow_community_topic_editing boolean with integer field edit_topic_policy and includes both frontend and backend changes. We also update settings_ui.disable_sub_settings_onchange to not change the color of label as we did previously when the setting was a checkbox. But now as the setting is dropdown we keep the label as it is and we don't do anything with label when disabling dropdowns. Also, this function was used only here so we can safely change this.
2021-05-26 12:21:37 +02:00
**Feature level 75**
* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue), `PATCH /realm`: Replaced `allow_community_topic_editing`

api: Expose event_queue_longpoll_timeout_seconds in /register. Rename poll_timeout to event_queue_longpoll_timeout_seconds and change its value from 90000 ms to 90 sec. Expose its value in register api response when realm data is fetched. Bump API_FEATURE_LEVEL to 74.
2021-06-04 15:12:37 +02:00
**Feature level 74**
* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue): Added `server_needs_upgrade`
and `event_queue_longpoll_timeout_seconds` field when fetching
realm data.
api: Include is_billing_admin as an attribute in user response. This is sufficiently useful that it should be made available to clients.

* [`GET /events`](/api/get-events): Added `is_billing_admin` field to
user objects sent in `realm_user` events.
* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue): Added `is_billing_admin` field
in the user objects returned in the `realm_users` field.
register api: Rename realm_upload_quota. Rename `realm_upload_quota` to `realm_upload_quota_mib` reflecting file size in mebibytes. Update frontend and bump API_FEATURE_LEVEL.
2021-05-22 09:39:09 +02:00

2021-05-22 16:26:00 +02:00
**Feature level 71**
api: Add server_timestamp to register response. Since this is currently only useful to interpret presence data, we send this only if presence is requested. I'm not sure that server_timestamp is the right name for this field, but ultimately it should match the main presence API format.
2021-05-20 20:01:51 +02:00
do_change_stream_invite_only: Ensure stream is not web public. When changing stream permissions to invite_only or public, ensure that stream doesn't have is_web_public set to True.
2020-11-10 16:02:55 +01:00
* [`GET /events`](/api/get-events): Added `is_web_public` field to
`stream` events changing `invite_only`.
**Feature level 70**
api: Add server_timestamp to register response. Since this is currently only useful to interpret presence data, we send this only if presence is requested. I'm not sure that server_timestamp is the right name for this field, but ultimately it should match the main presence API format.

api: Fix encoding of strings in streams endpoint. * Remove unnecessary json_validator for string parameters. * Update frontend to pass right parameter. Bump api feature level and highlight the fix for `emojiset` parameter of `settings/display` endpoint in zulip.yaml file. Fixes part of #18035.
2021-05-08 18:41:54 +02:00
**Feature level 64**
* `PATCH /streams/{stream_id}`: Removed unnecessary JSON-encoding of string
parameters `new_name` and `description`.
* `PATCH /settings/display`: Removed unnecessary JSON-encoding of string
parameters `default_view`, `emojiset` and `timezone`.
api: Fix encoding of strings in video calls endpoint. This removes unnecessary json_validator for string parameters in the BigBlueButton video calls endpoints. Note that this breaks links to video meetings sent before the upgrade; there's not much we can do about that. Since this is the last commit in this series, we update the ZULIP_FEATURE_LEVEL for this batch of changes. Fixes part of #18035.
2021-05-06 21:14:16 +02:00

api: Add zulip_version and zulip_feature_level in restart event. This help mobile and terminal clients understand whether a server restart changed API feature levels or not, which in turn determines whether they will need to resynchronize their data. Also add tests and documentation for this previously undocumented event type. Fixes: #18205.

users: Add role field to user objects returned by format_user_row. This commit modifies the user objects returned by 'GET /users', 'GET /users/me', 'GET /users/{user_id}' and 'GET /users/{email}' endpoints to include role field. We also include role field in the page_params['realm_users'] dict and in the person object sent in (type="realm_user", op="add") event.
2021-04-11 07:38:09 +02:00

[`GET /users/me`](/api/get-own-user): Added `role` field to returned
user objects.
* [`GET /events`](/api/get-events): Added `role` field to
user objects sent in `realm_user` events.
* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue): Added `role` field
in the user objects returned in the `realm_users` field.

* [`GET /events`](/api/get-events): Added new `zulip_version` and
`zulip_feature_level` fields to the `restart` event.
typing: Support sending stream/topic typing status. This extends the /json/typing endpoint to also accept stream_id and topic. With this change, the requests sent to /json/typing should have these: * `to`: a list set to - recipients for a PM - stream_id for a stream message * `topic`, in case of stream message along with `op`(start or stop). On receiving a request with stream_id and topic, we send typing events to clients with stream_typing_notifications set to True for all users subscribed to that stream.
2020-12-24 21:00:20 +01:00
**Feature level 58**
* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue): Added the new
`stream_typing_notifications` property to supported

events to support typing notifications in stream messages. These new
events are only sent to clients with `client_capabilities`
showing support for `stream_typing_notifications`.
* [`POST /set-typing-status`](/api/set-typing-status): Added support
for sending typing notifications for stream messages.
linkifiers: Add an API to support the editing of linkifier. This commit adds an API to `zproject/urls.py` to edit/update the realm linkifier. Its helper function to update the database is added in `zerver/lib/actions.py`. `zulip.yaml` is documented accordingly as well, clearly stating that this API updates one linkifier at a time. The tests are added for the API and helper function which updates the realm linkifier. Fixes #10830.

**Feature level 55**
* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue): Added `realm_giphy_rating`
and `giphy_rating_options` fields.
* `PATCH /realm`: Added `giphy_rating` parameter.
linkifiers: Update API to send data using dictionaries. * This introduces a new event type `realm_linkifiers` and a new key for the initial data fetch of the same name. Newer clients will be expected to use these. * Backwards compatibility is ensured by changing neither the current event nor the /register key. The data which these hold is the same as before, but internally, it is generated by processing the `realm_linkifiers` data. We send both the old and the new event types to clients whenever the linkifiers are changed. Older clients will simply ignore the new event type, and vice versa. * The `realm/filters:GET` endpoint (which returns tuples) is currently used by none of the official Zulip clients. This commit replaces it with `realm/linkifiers:GET` which returns data in the new dictionary format. TODO: Update the `get_realm_filters` method in the API bindings, to hit this new URL instead of the old one. * This also updates the webapp frontend to use the newer events and keys.
2021-03-30 12:51:54 +02:00
**Feature level 54**
* `GET /realm/filters` has been removed and replace with [`GET
/realm/linkifiers`](/api/get-linkifiers) which returns the data in a
cleaner dictionary format.
* [`GET /events`](/api/get-events): Introduced new event type
`realm_linkifiers`. The previous `realm_filters` event type is
still supported for backwards compatibility, but will be removed in
a future release.
* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue): The response now supports a
`realm_linkifiers` event type, containing the same data as the
legacy `realm_filters` key, with a more extensible object
format. The previous `realm_filters` event type is still supported
for backwards compatibility, but will be removed in a future
release. The legacy `realm_filters` key is deprecated but remains
available for backwards compatibility.
api: Improve encoding of stream/topic max field lengths. Previously, you had to request the `stream` event type in order to get the stream-level parameters; this was a bad design in part because the `subscription` event type has similar data and is preferred by most clients. So we move these to the `realm` object. We also add the maximum topic length, as an adjacent parameter. While changing this, we also fix these to better match the names of similar API parameters.

With a much simplified populate_data_for_request design suggested by Anders; we only support a handful of data types, all of which are correctly encoded automatically by jQuery. Fixes part of #18035.

events: Pass can_invite_others_to_realm to client using page_params. This commit adds backend code for passing can_invite_others_to_realm field to clients using the fetch_initial_state_data in the page_params object. Though this field is not used by webapp as of now, but will be used to fix a bug of incorreclty showing the invite users option in settings overlay in the next commit.

events/tests/api: Send realm_playground events to clients. We send the whole data set as a part of the event rather than doing an add/remove operation for couple of reasons: * This would make the client logic simpler. * The playground data is small enough for us to not worry about performance. Tweaked both `fetch_initial_state_data` and `apply_events` to handle the new playground event. Tests added to validate the event matches the expected schema. Documented realm_playgrounds sections inside /events and /register to support our openapi validation system in test_events. Tweaked other tests like test_event_system.py and test_home.py to account for the new event being generated. Lastly, documented the changes to the API endpoints in api/changelog.md and bumped API_FEATURE_LEVEL. Tweaked by tabbott to add an `id` field in RealmPlayground objects sent to clients, which is essential to sending the API request to remove one.

mute user: Add backend infrastructure code. Adds backend code for the mute users feature. This is just infrastructure work (database interactions, helpers, tests, events, API docs etc) and does not involve any behavioral/semantic aspects of muted users. Adds POST and DELETE endpoints, to keep the URL scheme mostly consistent in terms of `users/me`. TODOs: 1. Add tests for exporting `zulip_muteduser` database table. 2. Add dedicated methods to python-zulip-api to be used in place of the current `client.call_endpoint` implementation.

* [`GET /events`](/api/get-events): Added new event type `muted_users`
which will be sent to a user when the set of users muted by them has
changed.
giphy: Use GIPHY web SDK to allow inserting GIFs in compose box. We use GIPHY web SDK to create popover containing GIFs in a grid format. Simply clicking on the GIFs will insert the GIF in the compose box. We add GIPHY logo to compose box action icons which opens the GIPHY picker popover containing GIFs with "Powered by GIPHY" attribution.

markdown: Include text & url in `topic_links` parameter of our API. The linkifier code now includes both the shortened text and the expanded URL, sorted by the order of the occurrence in a topic. This list is passed back in the `topic_links` parameter of the /messages and the /events APIs. topic_links earlier vs now: earlier: ['https://www.google.com', 'https://github.com/zulip/zulip/32'] now: [{'url': 'https://www.google.com', 'text': 'https://www.google/com}, {'url': 'https://github.com/zulip/zulip/32', 'text': '#32'}] Similarly, the topic_links local echo logic in the frontend now returns back an object.

custom_profile_fields: Remove op field for the event. * `op` (operation) field, added in f6fb88549f9, was never intended for `custom_profile_fields` event. This commit removes the `op` as it doesn't have any use in the code. * As a part of cleanup, this also eliminates the schema check warnings for `custom_profile_fields` event, mentioned in #17568.

api: Support user_id in get_user_presence_endpoint. This is part of our general process of replacing emails, which are not static with time, with user_ids when referring to users in the API. We still keep the `email` reference option, since it can be useful for linking third-party applications to Zulip on an intranet that might have a user's corporate email handy and not want to do the extra round trip to lookup the user. The name of the parameter, user_id_or_email, was chosen to to make it clear that the default/preferred option is user_id. Fixes #14304.

display_settings: Allow user to set default_view. TextField is used to allow users to set long stream + topic narrow names in the urls. We currently restrict users to only set "all_messages" and "recent_topics" as narrows. This commit achieves 3 things: * Removes recent topics as the default view which loads when hash is empty. * Loads default_view when hash is empty. * Loads default_view on pressing escape key when it is unhandled by other present UI elements. NOTE: After this commit loading zulip with an empty hash will automatically set hash to default_view. Ideally, we'd just display the default view without a hash, but that involves extra complexity. One exception is when user is trying to load an overlay directly, i.e. zulip is loaded with an overlay hash. In this case, we render recent topics is background irrespective of default_view. We consider this last detail to be a bug not important enough to block adding this setting.

(See further down for a detailed justification of the change.) Even though it is sometimes fine to have redundant code that is defensive in nature, some upcoming changes are gonna move subscriber-related logic out of build_stream_dict_for_sub for certain codepaths as part of our effort to streamline the payload for subscribers within page_params. So we can't rely on the code that I removed here inside of build_stream_dict_for_sub. Anyway, it makes more sense to do these checks explicitly in the validate function. The code in build_stream_dict_for_sub was almost effectively a noop, since the validation function was already preventing us from getting subscriber info. The only difference it made was sometimes converting `[]` to `None`, and then subsequently omitting the subscribers field. Neither ZT nor the webapp make any distinction between `[]` or <missing key> for the `subscribers` data in `page_params`. The webapp has had this code for a long time (and now equivalent code elsewhere in this PR): if (!Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty.call(sub, "subscribers")) { sub.subscribers = new LazySet([]); } The webapp calculates access based on booleans, anyway: sub.can_access_subscribers = page_params.is_admin || sub.subscribed || (!page_params.is_guest && !sub.invite_only); And ZT would choke if `subscribers` were missing, except that it never gets to the relevant code due to other checks: def get_other_subscribers_in_stream(<snip>): assert stream_id is not None or stream_name is not None if stream_id: assert self.is_user_subscribed_to_stream(stream_id) return [sub for sub in self.stream_dict[stream_id]['subscribers'] if sub != self.user_id] else: return [sub for _, stream in self.stream_dict.items() for sub in stream['subscribers'] if stream['name'] == stream_name if sub != self.user_id] You could make a semantic argument that we should prefer <missing key> to `[]` when subscribers aren't even available, but we have precedent from the way that `bulk_get_subscriber_user_ids` has traditionally populated its result: result: Dict[int, List[int]] = {stream["id"]: [] for stream in stream_dicts} If we changed `stream_dicts` to `target_stream_dicts` we would faciliate a move toward `None`, but it would just cause headaches for other server code as well as the frontends (which, to reiterate, already prefer the empty array for convenience).

**Feature level 37**
* Consistently provide `subscribers` in stream data when
clients register for subscriptions with `include_subscribers`,
even if the user can't access subscribers.
api: Require can_create_users permission to create users via API. Allowing any admins to create arbitrary users is not ideal because it can lead to abuse issues. We should require something stronger that requires the server operator's approval and thus we add a new can_create_users permission.
2020-12-14 22:02:22 +01:00
**Feature level 36**
* [`POST /users`](/api/create-user): Restricted access to organization
administrators with the `can_create_users` permission.
api docs: Fix typo in link.
2021-07-01 20:38:57 +02:00
* [Error handling](/api/rest-error-handling): The `code` property will
api_documentation: Update rate limit error description. Moves details about the rate limit error object and handling to the OpenAPI documentation description for that common error. Previously, this information was on the general rest error handling documentation page without clear connection to the specific rate limit error. Fixes a typo in the changelog (feature 36) for that same error and also fixes a misplaced colon in the description of the error for missing request parameters.

api feature level: Bump level for peer_add/peer_remove.
2020-10-24 16:41:46 +02:00
**Feature level 35**
* The peer_add and peer_remove subscription events now have plural
versions of `user_ids` and `stream_ids`.
realm: Add wildcard_mention_policy setting. We add a new wildcard_mention_policy setting to handle wildcard mentions in large streams, with a wide range of policies available to organizations. We set the default to the safe option for preventing accidental spam: only stream administrators being able to use wildcard mentions in large streams.
2020-09-04 18:53:22 +02:00
**Feature level 34**
* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue): Added a new `wildcard_mention_policy`
setting for controlling who can use wildcard mentions in large streams.
api: Document markdown changes for code blocks and bump API_FEATURE_LEVEL.
2020-09-18 18:09:17 +02:00
**Feature level 33**
* Markdown code blocks now have a `data-code-language` attribute
attached to the outer `div` element, recording the programming
language that was selecting for syntax highlighting. This field
supports the upcoming "view in playground" feature for code blocks.
events: Add `op` field to `update_message_flags` events. `update_message_flags` events used `operation` instead of `op`, the latter being the standard field used in other events. So add `op` field to `update_message_flags` and mark `operation` as deprecated, so that it can be removed later.
2020-08-19 21:51:47 +02:00
**Feature level 32**
* [`GET /events`](/api/get-events): Added `op` field to
`update_message_flags` events, deprecating the `operation` field
(which has the same value). This removes an unintentional anomaly
in the format of this event type.
streams: Add role field to Subscription objects passed to clients. This commit adds "role" field to the Subscription objects passed to clients. This is important preparation for being able to work on the frontend for this feature.
2020-07-15 16:02:35 +02:00
**Feature level 31**
* [`GET users/me/subscriptions`](/api/get-subscriptions): Added a
`role` field to Subscription objects representing whether the user
is a stream administrator.
* [`GET /events`](/api/get-events): Added `role` field to
Subscription objects sent in `subscriptions` events.
Note that as of this feature level, stream administrators are a
partially completed feature. In particular, it is impossible for a
user to be a stream administrator at this feature level.

* [`GET users/me/subscriptions`](/api/get-subscriptions), [`GET

objects.
api: Return 'user_id' in 'POST /users' response. This adds 'user_id' to the simple success response for 'POST /users' api endpoint, to make it convenient for API clients to get details about users they just created. Appropriate changes have been made in the docs and test_users.py. Fixes #16072.
2020-08-11 23:01:01 +02:00

2020-06-25 01:25:14 +02:00
## Changes in Zulip 3.0
api docs: Add an API changelog page. I imagine this can be improved in various ways, but I've initialized this with all the **Changes** entries recorded in either zulip.yaml or the rest of the API documentation, and I expect we'll be able to iterate on this effectively. It'll also be useful as a record of changes that we should remember to document the API documentation as we document more endpoints that currently don't discuss these issues. While working on this, I fixed various issues where feature levels could be mentioned or endpoints didn't properly document changes.

No changes; feature level used for Zulip 3.0 release.
markdown: Remove !avatar() and !gravatar() syntax. This particular commit has been a long time coming. For reference, !avatar(email) was an undocumented syntax that simply rendered an inline 50px avatar for a user in a message, essentially allowing you to create a user pill like: `!avatar(alice@example.com) Alice: hey!` --- Reimplementation If we decide to reimplement this or a similar feature in the future, we could use something like `<avatar:userid>` syntax which is more in line with creating links in markdown. Even then, it would not be a good idea to add this instead of supporting inline images directly. Since any usecases of such a syntax are in automation, we do not need to make it userfriendly and something like the following is a better implementation that doesn't need a custom syntax: `![avatar for Alice](/avatar/1234?s=50) Alice: hey!` --- History We initially added this syntax back in 2012 and it was 'deprecated' from the get go. Here's what the original commit had to say about the new syntax: > We'll use this internally for the commit bot. We might eventually > disable it for external users. We eventually did start using this for our github integrations in 2013 but since then, those integrations have been neglected in favor of our GitHub webhooks which do not use this syntax. When we copied `!gravatar` to add the `!avatar` syntax, we also noted that we want to deprecate the `!gravatar` syntax entirely - in 2013! Since then, we haven't advertised either of these syntaxes anywhere in our docs, and the only two places where this syntax remains is our game bots that could easily do without these, and the git commit integration that we have deprecated anyway. We do not have any evidence of someone asking about this syntax on chat.zulip.org when developing an integration and rightfully so- only the people who work on Zulip (and specifically, markdown) are likely to stumble upon it and try it out. This is also the only peice of code due to which we had to look up emails -> userid mapping in our backend markdown. By removing this, we entirely remove the backend markdown's dependency on user emails to render messages. --- Relevant commits: - Oct 2012, Initial commit c31462c2782a33886e737cf33424a36a95c81f97 - Nov 2013, Update commit bot 968c393826f8846065c5c880427328f6e534c2f5 - Nov 2013, Add avatar syntax 761c0a0266669aca82d134716a4d6b6e33d541fc - Sep 2017, Avoid email use c3032a7fe8ed49b011e0d242f4b8a7d756b9f647 - Apr 2019, Remove from webhook 674fcfcce1fcf35bdc57031a1025ef169d495d36

2020-07-06 23:01:38 +02:00
pointer: Remove pointer from API and page_params. There is still some miscellaneous cleanup that has to happen for things like analytics queries and dead code in node tests, but this should remove the main use of pointers in the backend. (We will also still need to drop the DB field.)

api docs: Clean up a few entries in API changelog.
2020-07-14 07:59:15 +02:00
* `GET/PUT/POST /users/me/pointer`: Removed. Zulip 3.0 removes the
`pointer` concept from Zulip; this legacy data structure was
replaced by tracking unread messages and loading views centered on
the first unread message.

api docs: Clean up a few entries in API changelog.
2020-07-14 07:59:15 +02:00
* [`GET /attachments`](/api/get-attachments): The date when a message
using the attachment was sent is now correctly encoded as
`date_sent`, replacing the confusingly named `name` field. The
`date_sent` and `create_time` fields of attachment objects are now
encoded as integers; (previously the implementation could send
floats incorrectly suggesting that microsecond precision is
relevant).
invites: Send user_id of the referrer instead of email in invites dict. We send user_id of the referrer instead of email in the invites dict. Sending user_ids is more robust, as those are an immutable reference to a user, rather than something that can change with time. Updates to the webapp UI to display the inviters for more convenient inspection will come in a future commit.
2020-06-26 21:26:57 +02:00
* `GET /invites`: Now encodes the user ID of the person who created
the invitation as `invited_by_user_id`, replacing the previous
`ref` field (which had that user's Zulip display email address).
api_docs: Mention special value of realm_message_retention_days feild. This commit indicates that the realm_message_retention_days field can have a special value, similar to its stream counterpart, and also explains how the special value changed over different server versions. With an extension from tabbott to double-enter the changelog entry. Related discussion: https://chat.zulip.org/#narrow/stream/378-api-design/topic/realm_message_retention_days
2021-08-20 10:32:59 +02:00

unlimited `realm_message_retention_days` in the response was changed
from `null` to `-1`.

settings: Add automatic theme detection feature. With this implementation of the feature of the automatic theme detection, we make the following changes in the backend, frontend and documentation. This replaces the previous night_mode boolean with an enum, with the default value being to use the prefers-color-scheme feature of the operating system to determine which theme to use. Fixes: #14451. Co-authored-by: @kPerikou <44238834+kPerikou@users.noreply.github.com>
2020-05-16 13:13:59 +02:00
**Feature level 21**
* `PATCH /settings/display`: Replaced the `night_mode` boolean with
`color_scheme` as part of supporting automatic night theme detection.
invite: Add option to invite user as an organization owner. We can now invite new users as realm owners. We restrict only owners to invite new users as owners both for single invite and multiuse invite link. Also, only owners can revoke or resend owner invitations.
2020-06-18 13:03:06 +02:00
**Feature level 20**
* Added support for inviting users as organization owners to the
invitation endpoints.
events: Use stream_id for peer_add/peer_remove. Two things were broken here: * we were using name(s) instead of id(s) * we were always sending lists that only had one element Now we just send "stream_id" instead of "subscriptions". If anything, we should start sending a list of users instead of a list of streams. For example, see the code below: if peer_user_ids: for new_user_id in new_user_ids: event = dict(type="subscription", op="peer_add", stream_id=stream.id, user_id=new_user_id) send_event(realm, event, peer_user_ids) Note that this only affects the webapp, as mobile/ZT don't use this.
2020-06-12 16:54:01 +02:00
**Feature level 19**
* [`GET /events`](/api/get-events): `subscriptions` event with
`op="peer_add"` and `op="peer_remove"` now identify the modified
stream by a `stream_id` field, replacing the old `name` field.
events: Don't send avatar URLs of long term idle users. This adds a new client_capability that clients such as the mobile apps can use to avoid unreasonable network bandwidth consumed sending avatar URLs in organizations with 10,000s of users. Clients don't strictly need this data, as they can always use the /avatar/{user_id} endpoint to fetch the avatar if desired. This will be more efficient especially for realms with 10,000+ users because the avatar URLs would increase the payload size significantly and cost us more bandwidth. Fixes #15287.
2020-06-13 10:10:05 +02:00
**Feature level 18**
* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue): Added
`user_avatar_url_field_optional` to supported `client_capabilities`.
streams: Add API for changing stream-level message_retention_days. This commit adds backend support for setting message_retention_days while creating streams and updating it for an existing stream. We only allow organization owners to set/update it for a stream. 'message_retention_days' field for a stream existed previously also, but there was no way to set it while creating streams or update it for an exisiting streams using any endpoint.

api-docs: Fix errors found in audit of 3.0 changelog entries. Initial round of fixes and clean-ups found during audit of changelog entries for feature levels 1-27, which correspond to the 3.0 release. There are a few changes that are not related to those feature levels, but fit within the context of clean-ups (spelling mistakes or errors in api documentation formatting/structure/style). One notable non-3.0 release fix is making all changes notes in the OpenAPI documentation for 2.x releases use the correct version numbering-scheme for those releases (e.g. 2.0.0). Follow-up commits / PRs will address inconsitencies and omissions for these feature levels found during the audit.
2022-05-18 01:35:28 +02:00

2020-06-18 23:19:48 +02:00
* Changed the rendered HTML markup for mentioning a time to use the

We compute sub.is_old_stream in stream_data.update_calculated_fields in frontend code and it is used to check whether we have a non-null stream_weekly_traffic or not. Fixes #15181.
2020-06-16 18:42:13 +02:00
the `is_old_stream` field from Stream objects. This field was
always equivalent to `stream_weekly_traffic != null` on the same object.
deletion: Add support for bulk message deletion events. This is designed to have no user-facing change unless the client declares bulk_message_deletion in its client_capabilities. Clients that do so will receive a single bulk event for bulk deletions of messages within a single conversation (topic or PM thread). Backend implementation of #15285.
2020-06-10 13:47:08 +02:00
**Feature level 13**
* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue): Added
`bulk_message_deletion` to supported `client_capabilities`.
api-docs: Fix errors found in audit of 3.0 changelog entries. Initial round of fixes and clean-ups found during audit of changelog entries for feature levels 1-27, which correspond to the 3.0 release. There are a few changes that are not related to those feature levels, but fit within the context of clean-ups (spelling mistakes or errors in api documentation formatting/structure/style). One notable non-3.0 release fix is making all changes notes in the OpenAPI documentation for 2.x releases use the correct version numbering-scheme for those releases (e.g. 2.0.0). Follow-up commits / PRs will address inconsitencies and omissions for these feature levels found during the audit.
2022-05-18 01:35:28 +02:00
* [`GET /events`](/api/get-events): `delete_message`
deletion: Add support for bulk message deletion events. This is designed to have no user-facing change unless the client declares bulk_message_deletion in its client_capabilities. Clients that do so will receive a single bulk event for bulk deletions of messages within a single conversation (topic or PM thread). Backend implementation of #15285.
2020-06-10 13:47:08 +02:00
events have new behavior. The `sender` and `sender_id` fields were
removed, and the `message_id` field was replaced by a `message_ids`
list for clients with the `bulk_message_deletion` client capability.
All clients should upgrade; we expect `bulk_message_deletion` to be
required in the future.
api: Add GET /users/{user_id}/subscription/{stream_id} endpoint. This new endpoint returns a 'user' dictionary which, as of now, contains a single key 'is_subscribed' with a boolean value that represents whether the user with the given 'user_id' is subscribed to the stream with the given 'stream_id'. Fixes #14966.
2020-05-31 19:10:41 +02:00
**Feature level 12**
* [`GET users/{user_id}/subscriptions/{stream_id}`](/api/get-subscription-status):
New endpoint added for checking if another user is subscribed to a stream.
page_params: Add community_topic_editing_limit_seconds. This was previously hardcoded with agreement between the Zulip backend and frontend as 86400 seconds (1 day). Now, it's still hardcoded in the backend, but arranged in a way where we could add a setting without any changes to the mobile and terminal apps to update logic. Fixes #15278.

`realm_community_topic_editing_limit_seconds` to the response, the
time limit before community topic editing is forbidden. A `null`

value means no limit. This was previously hard-coded in the server
as 86400 seconds (1 day).
events: Add 'is_owner' to page_params and raw_users dict of page_params. This commit adds 'is_owner' field to page_params and also to the raw_users dict of page_params.
2020-06-03 19:49:45 +02:00
* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue): The response now contains a
`is_owner`, similar to the existing `is_admin` and `is_guest` fields.
openapi: Make api-docs filename match with operationIds. api docs filenames are basically the operationId of their endpoint in zulip.yaml with `_` replaced by `-`. But some operationIds have changed, so change the affected filenames. Make changes in other files accordingly.
2020-06-11 14:44:00 +02:00
* [`POST /set-typing-status`](/api/set-typing-status): Removed legacy support for sending email
typing: Accept only user_ids in typing endpoint. The only clients that should use the typing indicators endpoint are our internal clients, and they should send a JSON-formatted list of user_ids. We now enforce this, which removes some complexity surrounding legacy ways of sending users, such as emails and comma-delimited strings of user_ids. There may be a very tiny number of mobile clients that still use the old emails API. This won't have any user-facing effect on the mobile users themselves, but if you type a message to your friend on an old mobile app, the friend will no longer see typing indicators. Also, the mobile team may see some errors in their Sentry logs from the server rejecting posts from the old mobile clients. The error messages we report here are a bit more generic, since we now just use REQ to do validation with this code: validator=check_list(check_int) This also allows us to remove a test hack related to the API documentation. (We changed the docs to reflect the modern API in an earlier commit, but the tests couldn't be fixed while we still had the more complex semantics for the "to" parameter.)
2020-02-28 18:23:57 +01:00

page_params: Add community_topic_editing_limit_seconds. This was previously hardcoded with agreement between the Zulip backend and frontend as 86400 seconds (1 day). Now, it's still hardcoded in the backend, but arranged in a way where we could add a setting without any changes to the mobile and terminal apps to update logic. Fixes #15278.

This commit changes get_profile_backend to be based on format_user_row such that it's a superset of the fields for our other endpoints for getting data on a user. To be clear, this does not removes any of the exisiting fields, that were returned by this endpoint. This change adds some fields to the User object returned by the endpoint. API docs are updated accordingly for the added fields.

users: Remove short_name and client_id from get_profile_backend. This commit removes short_name and client_id fields from the user objects returned by get_profile_backend because neither of them had a purpose. * short_name hasn't been present anywhere else in the Zulip API for several years, and isn't set through any coherent algorithm. * client_id was a forgotten 2013-era predecessor to the queue_id field returned by the register_event_queue process. The combination of these changes gets us close to having `get_profile` have the exact same format as other endpoints fetching a user object.

Adds API changelog feature level 1 and associated Changes notes for when the `stream_id` parameter in the `PATCH /messages/message_id` was added, and for when the `prev_stream` field was added to edit history information for messages. We're adding these to the Zulip 3.0 feature level 1 because commit 843345dfee9c2e1 that introduced this field and this parameter to the server / backend code was merged before the commit that added the API feature level tracking, commit e3b90a5ec86e42, at level 1.
2023-05-26 20:02:39 +02:00
* [`PATCH /messages/{message_id}`](/api/update-message): Added the
`stream_id` parameter to support moving messages between streams.
* [`GET /messages`](/api/get-messages), [`GET /events`](/api/get-events):
Added `prev_stream` as a potential property of the `edit_history` object
within message objects to indicate when a message was moved to another
stream.
* [`GET messages/{message_id}/history`](/api/get-message-history):
`prev_stream` is present in `snapshot` objects within `message_history`
object when a message was moved to another stream.
openapi: Make api-docs filename match with operationIds. api docs filenames are basically the operationId of their endpoint in zulip.yaml with `_` replaced by `-`. But some operationIds have changed, so change the affected filenames. Make changes in other files accordingly.
2020-06-11 14:44:00 +02:00
* [`GET /server_settings`](/api/get-server-settings): Added
api docs: Add an API changelog page. I imagine this can be improved in various ways, but I've initialized this with all the **Changes** entries recorded in either zulip.yaml or the rest of the API documentation, and I expect we'll be able to iterate on this effectively. It'll also be useful as a record of changes that we should remember to document the API documentation as we document more endpoints that currently don't discuss these issues. While working on this, I fixed various issues where feature levels could be mentioned or endpoints didn't properly document changes.
2020-04-29 05:55:42 +02:00
`zulip_feature_level`, which can be used by clients to detect which
of the features described in this changelog are supported.

api_docs: Correct Zulip 3.0 feature level 1 changelog and notes. Corrects omissions or inconsistencies between the api changelog and the api documentation for Zulip 3.0, feature level 1, except for the final two bullet points about GitLab authentication and adding None as a video call provider option. The final two bullet points will be addressed in separate commits. Part of work on #22102.
2022-07-11 15:53:17 +02:00

values for the `anchor` parameter, deprecating and replacing the
`use_first_unread_anchor` parameter.
api-docs: Fix errors found in audit of 3.0 changelog entries. Initial round of fixes and clean-ups found during audit of changelog entries for feature levels 1-27, which correspond to the 3.0 release. There are a few changes that are not related to those feature levels, but fit within the context of clean-ups (spelling mistakes or errors in api documentation formatting/structure/style). One notable non-3.0 release fix is making all changes notes in the OpenAPI documentation for 2.x releases use the correct version numbering-scheme for those releases (e.g. 2.0.0). Follow-up commits / PRs will address inconsitencies and omissions for these feature levels found during the audit.
2022-05-18 01:35:28 +02:00
* [`GET /messages`](/api/get-messages), [`GET /events`](/api/get-events):
Message objects now use `topic_links` rather than `subject_links` to
indicate links either present in the topic or generated by linkifiers
applied to the topic.

[`PATCH /streams/{stream_id}`](/api/update-stream): Stream objects now
have `stream_post_policy` enum for specifying who can post to the stream,
deprecating and replacing the `is_announcement_only` boolean.
* [`GET /user_uploads/{realm_id_str}/{filename}`](/api/get-file-temporary-url):
New endpoint added for requesting a temporary URL for an uploaded
file that does not require authentication to access (e.g. for passing
from a Zulip desktop, mobile, or terminal app to the user's default
browser).
* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue), [`GET /events`](/api/get-events),
`PATCH /realm`: Nobody added as an option for the realm setting

* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue), [`GET /events`](/api/get-events):
`muted_topics` array objects now are 3-item tuples that include the
stream name, the topic name, and the time when the topic was muted.
Previously, they were 2-item tuples and did not include the time when
the topic was muted.
api-docs: Update changelog and notes about GitLab authentication. Updates changelog entry for feature level 1 about GitLab to include the endpoint with the changes. Also noted that the change updated a deprecated return value. Added changes note to the `gitlab` boolean in the `authentication_methods` return value for the `/get-server-settings` endpoint. Part of work on #22102.

## Changes in Zulip 2.1
api-changelog: Add 2.1.0 entry for realm_default_external_accounts. Adds an API changelog note to 2.1 for the addition of realm_default_external_accounts to the `/register-queue` response. Also adds a Changes note to the field in the endpoint's response API documentation. The original commit that added it to that endpoint's response was commit d7ee2aced17ecf81b.
2023-05-18 17:23:17 +02:00
* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue): Added
`realm_default_external_accounts` to endpoint response.
api-docs: Add changelog entry for user/stream ID narrow options. Adds a 2.1 release changelog entry for adding support for user and stream IDs in search/narrow options. Also, adds a Changes note in the narrow parameter in the OpenAPI `get-messages` endpoint definition. Both link to the api documentation for constructing a narrow, where the 2.1 release update is already mentioned. Fixes #9474.
2022-05-16 23:13:48 +02:00

`external_authentication_methods` structure, used to display login
buttons nicely in the mobile apps.
* Added `first_message_id` field to Stream objects. This is helpful
for determining whether the stream has any messages older than a
window cached in a client.
* Added `is_web_public` field to Stream objects. This field is
intended to support web-public streams.
* Added `/export/realm` endpoints for triggering a data export.

`enable_stream_audible_notifications`.
subscriptions: Send update events for `is_muted` property. In Zulip 2.1.0, the `is_muted` stream subscription property was added and replaced the `in_home_view` property. But the server has still only been sending subscription update events with the `in_home_view` property. Updates `do_change_subscription_property` to send a subscription update event for both `is_muted` and `in_home_view`, so that clients can fully migrate away from using `in_home_view` allowing us to eventually remove it completely.

## Changes in Zulip 2.0
api-docs: Add changelog for `stream_id` param to `mute-topic`. Adds a changelog 2.0 entry for adding support for `stream_id` parameter to the `mute-topic` endpoint. Also, adds Changes note to the endpoint parameter description, and reorders/clarifies that at least one (and only one) stream parameter must be provided by the client and that the `string_id` parameter is preferred. Fixes #11136.
2022-05-19 23:24:50 +02:00

------------------
## Changes not yet stabilized
* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue): Added `slim_presence`
parameter. Changes the format of presence events, but is still
being changed and should not be used by clients.
api docs: Avoid confusing the API changelog with the changelog. We change the title to be more descriptive and also link to the overall Zulip changelog, since one can reasonably get to this page when googling for "Zulip changelog".

linkifier: Support URL templates for linkifiers. This swaps out url_format_string from all of our APIs and replaces it with url_template. Note that the documentation changes in the following commits will be squashed with this commit. We change the "url_format" key to "url_template" for the realm_linkifiers events in event_schema, along with updating LinkifierDict. "url_template" is the name chosen to normalize mixed usages of "url_format_string" and "url_format" throughout the backend. The markdown processor is updated to stop handling the format string interpolation and delegate the task template expansion to the uri_template library instead. This change affects many test cases. We mostly just replace "%(name)s" with "{name}", "url_format_string" with "url_template" to make sure that they still pass. There are some test cases dedicated for testing "%" escaping, which aren't relevant anymore and are subject to removal. But for now we keep most of them as-is, and make sure that "%" is always escaped since we do not use it for variable substitution any more. Since url_format_string is not populated anymore, a migration is created to remove this field entirely, and make url_template non-nullable since we will always populate it. Note that it is possible to have url_template being null after migration 0422 and before 0424, but in practice, url_template will not be None after backfilling and the backend now is always setting url_template. With the removal of url_format_string, RealmFilter model will now be cleaned with URL template checks, and the old checks for escapes are removed. We also modified RealmFilter.clean to skip the validation when the url_template is invalid. This avoids raising mulitple ValidationError's when calling full_clean on a linkifier. But we might eventually want to have a more centric approach to data validation instead of having the same validation in both the clean method and the validator. Fixes #23124.
