The API feature levels system used in this changelog is designed to
|
|
|
|
|
make it possible to write API clients, such as the Zulip mobile and
|
|
|
|
|
terminal apps, that work with a wide range of Zulip server
|
|
|
|
|
versions. Every change to the Zulip API is recorded both here and 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.

|
|
|
|
|
`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.
|
|
|
|
|
* [`PATCH /realm`]: Only changed settings are included in the response data now
|
|
|
|
|
when changing `allow_message_editing`, `edit_topic_policy` and

|
|
|
2022-09-26 17:37:04 +02:00

* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue): The `unread_msgs` section

|
`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.

the previous and current topic, replacing the `prev_subject`

|
* `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.

refactor: Eliminate checks in build_stream_dict_for_sub.
We eliminate some redundant checks.
We also consistently provide a `subscribers` field
in our stream data with `[]`, even if our users
can't access subscribers. We therefore bump
the API version and tweak the docs. (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).

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:
` 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.

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:
` 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.

|
|
|
* `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.

* [`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).

* `reactions` objects returned by the API (both in `GET /messages` and
|
|
|
|
|
in `GET /events`) now include the user who reacted in a top-level
|
|
|
|
|
`user_id` field. The legacy `user` dictionary (which had
|
|
|
|
|
inconsistent format between those two endpoints) is deprecated.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Feature level 1**:

|
2020-04-29 05:55:42 +02:00

|
|
|
|
of the features described in this changelog are supported.
|
|
|
|
|
* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue): Added `zulip_feature_level`

|
2020-04-29 05:55:42 +02:00

|

(which had the email address of the bot owner).

|
|
|
* [`GET /messages`](/api/get-messages), [`GET /events`](/api/get-events):

|
|
|
|
indicate links either present in the topic or generated by linkifiers
|
|
|
|
|
applied to the topic.
|
2022-07-11 15:53:17 +02:00
|
|
|
* [`GET /streams`](/api/get-streams),
|
|
|
|
|
[`POST /users/me/subscriptions`](/api/subscribe),
|
|

|
|
|

|
|
deprecating and replacing the `is_announcement_only` boolean.

|
|
|
|
|
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).

|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
Previously, they were 2-item tuples and did not include the time when

## Changes in Zulip 2.1
|
|
|
|
|
|
2022-05-16 23:13:48 +02:00
|
|
|
* [`GET /messages`](/api/get-messages): Added support for
|
|
|
|
|
[search/narrow options](/api/construct-narrow) that use stream/user
|
|
|
|
|
IDs to specify a message's sender, its stream, and/or its recipient(s).
|
2020-06-11 14:44:00 +02:00
|
|
|
* [`GET /users`](/api/get-users): Added `include_custom_profile_fields`
|
2020-04-29 05:55:42 +02:00
|
|
|
to request custom profile field data.
|
2020-06-11 14:44:00 +02:00
|
|
|
* [`GET /users/me`](/api/get-own-user): Added `avatar_url` field,
|
2020-04-29 05:55:42 +02:00
|
|
|
containing the user's avatar URL, to the response.
|
2020-06-11 14:44:00 +02:00
|
|
|
* [`GET /users/me/subscriptions`](/api/get-subscriptions): Added
|
2020-04-29 05:55:42 +02:00
|
|
|
`include_subscribers` parameter controlling whether data on the
|
|
|
|
|
other subscribers is included. Previous behavior was to always send
|
|
|
|
|
subscriber data.
|
2020-06-11 14:44:00 +02:00
|
|
|
* [`GET /users/me/subscriptions`](/api/get-subscriptions):
|
2020-04-29 05:55:42 +02:00
|
|
|
Stream-level notification settings like `push_notifications` were
|
|
|
|
|
changed to be nullable boolean fields (true/false/null), with `null`
|
|
|
|
|
meaning that the stream inherits the organization-level default.
|
|
|
|
|
Previously, the only values were true/false. A client communicates
|
|
|
|
|
support for this feature using `client_capabilities`.
|
2020-06-11 14:44:00 +02:00
|
|
|
* [`GET /users/me/subscriptions`](/api/get-subscriptions): Added
|
2020-04-29 05:55:42 +02:00
|
|
|
`wildcard_mentions_notify` notification setting, with the same
|
|
|
|
|
global-plus-stream-level-override model as other notification settings.
|
2020-06-11 14:44:00 +02:00
|
|
|
* [`GET /server_settings`](/api/get-server-settings): Added
|
2020-04-29 05:55:42 +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.
|
|
|
|
|
* `PATCH /realm`: Added `invite_to_stream_policy`,
|
|
|
|
|
`create_stream_policy`, `digest_emails_enabled`, `digest_weekday`,
|
|
|
|
|
`user_group_edit_policy`, and `avatar_changes_disabled` organization settings.
|
|
|
|
|
* Added `fluid_layout_width`, `desktop_icon_count_display`, and
|
|
|
|
|
`demote_inactive_streams` display settings.
|
|
|
|
|
* `enable_stream_sounds` was renamed to
|
|
|
|
|
`enable_stream_audible_notifications`.
|
2022-08-09 20:37:07 +02:00
|
|
|
* [`POST /users/me/subscriptions/properties`](/api/update-subscription-settings):
|
|
|
|
|
Deprecated `in_home_view`, replacing it with the more readable
|
2020-04-29 05:55:42 +02:00
|
|
|
`is_muted` (with the opposite meaning).
|
|
|
|
|
* Custom profile fields: Added `EXTERNAL_ACCOUNT` field type.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Changes in Zulip 2.0
|
|
|
|
|
|
2022-05-19 23:24:50 +02:00
|
|
|
* [`PATCH /users/me/subscriptions/muted_topics`](/api/mute-topic):
|
|
|
|
|
Added support for using stream IDs to specify the stream in which to
|
|
|
|
|
mute/unmute a topic.
|
2020-04-29 05:55:42 +02:00
|
|
|
* [`POST /messages`](/api/send-message): Added support for using user
|
|
|
|
|
IDs and stream IDs for specifying the recipients of a message.
|
2020-06-25 21:40:55 +02:00
|
|
|
* [`POST /messages`](/api/send-message), [`POST
|
|
|
|
|
/messages/{message_id}`](/api/update-message): Added support for
|
|
|
|
|
encoding topics using the `topic` parameter name. The previous
|
|
|
|
|
`subject` parameter name was deprecated but is still supported for
|
|
|
|
|
backwards-compatibility.
|
2020-06-11 14:44:00 +02:00
|
|
|
* [`POST /set-typing-status`](/api/set-typing-status): Added support for specifying the
|
2020-04-29 05:55:42 +02:00
|
|
|
recipients with user IDs, deprecating the original API of specifying
|
|
|
|
|
them using email addresses.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
------------------

|
|

|
|
|
|
## 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.
