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.

# Changelog
This page documents changes to the Zulip Server API over time.
The recommended way for a client like the Zulip mobile or desktop apps
that needs to support interaction with a wide range of different Zulip
server versions is to check the `zulip_feature_level` parameter in the
`/register` and `/server_settings` responses to determine which of the
below features are supported.
api: Document API change for Stream.date_created.
2020-07-28 02:10:59 +02:00
## Changes in Zulip 4.0
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
**Feature level 63**
* `PATCH /settings/notifications`: Removed unnecessary JSON-encoding of string
parameter `notification_sound`.
* `PATCH /settings/display`: Removed unnecessary JSON-encoding of string
parameter `default_language`.
* `POST /users/me/tutorial_status`: Removed unnecessary JSON-encoding of string
parameter `status`.
* `POST /realm/domains`: Removed unnecessary JSON-encoding of string
parameter `domain`.
* `PATCH /default_stream_groups/{user_id}`: Removed unnecessary JSON-encoding of string
parameters `new_group_name` and `new_description`.
* `POST /users/me/hotspots`: Removed unnecessary JSON-encoding of string
parameter `hotspot`.
settings: Add moderators option for wildcard_mention_policy.
2021-05-02 09:56:58 +02:00
**Feature level 62**
* Added `moderators only` option for `wildcard_mention_policy`.
invites: Allow user to be invited as a moderator. This commit adds both frontend and backend code to invite a user as moderator. We allow only existing owners and admins to invite a user as a moderator.
2021-04-30 15:19:47 +02:00
**Feature level 61**
* Added support for inviting users as moderators to the invitation
endpoints.
users: Add support for changing user role to moderator in api. This commit adds backend support for changing a user role to moderator and also to change role from moderator to any other role.
2021-04-19 18:41:20 +02:00
**Feature level 60**
events: Add 'is_moderator' field to the page_params object sent to clients.
2021-04-19 20:56:15 +02:00
* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue): Added a new boolean field
`is_moderator`, similar to the existing `is_admin`, `is_owner` and
`is_guest` fields, to the response.
users: Add support for changing user role to moderator in api. This commit adds backend support for changing a user role to moderator and also to change role from moderator to any other role.
2021-04-19 18:41:20 +02:00
* [`PATCH /users/{user_id}`](/api/update-user): Added support for
changing a user's organization-level role to moderator.
* API endpoints that return `role` values can now return `300`, the
encoding of the moderator role.
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.
2021-04-18 11:28:39 +02:00
**Feature level 59**
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`](/api/get-users), [`GET /users/{user_id}`](/api/get-user),
[`GET /users/{email}`](/api/get-user-by-email) and
[`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.
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.
2021-04-18 11:28:39 +02:00
* [`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
`client_capabilities`.
* [`GET /events`](/api/get-events): Extended format for `typing`
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.
2021-04-15 19:51:36 +02:00
**Feature level 57**
* [`PATCH /realm/filters/{filter_id}`](/api/update-linkifier): New
endpoint added to update a realm linkifier.
settings: Add new setting for controlling who can move msgs to stream. This commit adds a new setting 'move_messages_between_streams_policy` for controlling who can move messages from one stream to other.
2021-04-08 19:24:01 +02:00
**Feature level 56**
* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue): Added a new setting
`move_messages_between_streams_policy` for controlling who can
move messages between streams.
realm: Add setting to configure GIPHY rating. Organization admins can use this setting to restrict the maximum rating of GIFs that will be retrieved from GIPHY. Also, there is option to disable GIPHY too.
2021-03-31 13:10:46 +02:00
**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.
2021-04-10 17:50:58 +02:00
**Feature level 53**
* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue): Added `max_topic_length`
api: Add max_message_length field to API data. Commit 4a3ad0d introduced some extra stream-level parameters to the `realm` object. This commit extends that to add a max_message_length paramter too in the same server_level.
2021-04-13 01:03:31 +02:00
and `max_message_length`, and renamed `max_stream_name_length` and
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.
2021-04-10 17:50:58 +02:00
`max_stream_description_length` to allow clients to transparently
support these values changing in a future server version.
api: Fix encoding of strings in realm endpoint. * Don't require strings to be unnecessarily JSON-encoded. * Use check_capped_string rather than custom code for length checks. * Update frontend to pass the right 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.
2021-04-07 22:00:40 +02:00
**Feature level 52**
* `PATCH /realm`: Removed unnecessary JSON-encoding of string
parameters `name`, `description`, `default_language`, and
`default_code_block_language`.
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.
2021-04-03 21:09:26 +02:00
**Feature level 51**
* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue): Added a new boolean field
`can_invite_others_to_realm`.
settings: Replace invite_by_admins_policy with invite_to_realm_policy. This commit replaces invite_by_admins_policy, which was a bool field, with a new enum field invite_by_realm_policy. Though the final goal is to add moderators and full members option using COMMON_POLICY_TYPES, but this will be done in a separate commit to make this easy for review.
2021-04-02 18:47:08 +02:00
**Feature level 50**
* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue): Replaced `invite_by_admins_only`
field with an integer field `invite_to_realm_policy`.
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.
2020-10-28 04:00:46 +01:00
**Feature level 49**
* Added new [`POST /realm/playground`](/api/add-playground) and
[`DELETE /realm/playground/{playground_id}`](/api/remove-playground)
endpoints for realm playgrounds.
* [`GET /events`](/api/get-events): A new `realm_playgrounds` events
is sent when changes are made to a set of configured playgrounds for
an organization.
* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue): Added a new `realm_playgrounds`
field, which is required to fetch the set of configured playgrounds for
an organization.
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.
2021-03-27 12:23:32 +01:00
**Feature level 48**
* [`POST /users/me/muted_users/{muted_user_id}`](/api/mute-user),
[`DELETE /users/me/muted_users/{muted_user_id}`](/api/unmute-user):
New endpoints added to mute/unmute users.
* [`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.
2021-03-19 13:21:18 +01:00
**Feature level 47**
* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue): Added a new `giphy_api_key`
field, which is required to fetch GIFs using the GIPHY API.
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. Fixes: #17109.
2021-01-26 07:32:29 +01:00
**Feature level 46**
* [`GET /messages`](/api/get-messages) and [`GET
/events`](/api/get-events): The `topic_links` field now contains a
list of dictionaries, rather than a list of strings.
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.
2021-03-26 09:51:43 +01:00
**Feature level 45**
* [`GET /events`](/api/get-events): Removed useless `op` field from
`custom_profile_fields` events. These events contain the full set
of configured `custom_profile_fields` for the organization
regardless of what triggered the change.
message: Record whether unread_msgs data is truncated. This is preparatory work for investigating reports of missing unread messages. It's a little surprising that not test failed after adding the code without API documentation. Co-Author-By: Tushar Upadhyay (tushar912).
2021-03-18 22:33:52 +01:00
**Feature level 44**
* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue): extended the `unread_msgs`
object to include `old_unreads_missing`, which indicates whether the
server truncated the `unread_msgs` due to excessive total unread
messages.
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.
2021-01-04 19:36:00 +01:00
**Feature level 43**
* [`GET /users/{user_id_or_email}/presence`]: Added support for
passing the `user_id` to identify the target user.
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.
2021-03-10 13:56:10 +01:00
**Feature level 42**
* `PATCH /settings/display`: Added a new `default_view` setting allowing
the user to [set the default view](/help/change-default-view).
events: Remove name field from update subscription events. This commit removes name field from update subscription events, as it is not used by any of the clients, and use stream_id in the events code instead.

2021-02-26 19:19:03 +01:00
subscription events.
api: Add REST API endpoint for looking up a user by email address. Add new rest api endpoint GET users/{email} for looking up a user by email, which is useful especially for corporate API applications that might already have a user's email address. Fixes #14302.
2021-01-02 15:05:29 +01:00
**Feature level 39**
* Added new [GET /users/{email}](/api/get-user-by-email) endpoint.
community_topic_edit: Increase time limit to 3 days. 24hrs is a small time in an asynchronous conversation. Increased time limit of topic editing for non-admins to 3 days.
2021-01-05 06:22:08 +01:00
**Feature level 38**
* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue): Increased
`realm_community_topic_editing_limit_seconds` time limit value
to 259200s (3 days).
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).
2021-01-14 16:18:42 +01:00
**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 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.

2020-07-28 02:10:59 +02:00
* [`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

## Changes in Zulip 3.1
api: Do not require short_name to create user. When you post to /json/users, we no longer require or look at the short_name parameter, since we don't use it in any meaningful way. An upcoming commit will eliminate it from the database.
2020-07-16 23:56:34 +02:00

docs: Change next planned major release to 3.0. After some discussion, everyone seems to agree that 3.0 is the more appropriate version number for our next major release. This updates our documentation to reflect that we'll be using 3.0 as our next major release.
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.
2020-04-29 05:55:42 +02:00

**Feature level 25**
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.)
2020-06-26 19:51:10 +02:00
**Feature level 23**
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.

attachments: Change data type and make variable names more accurate. Change variable `name` to `date_sent` as `name` actually stores the date sent. Also change the data types of `name` and `create_time` to integer. As they actually have empty decimal value.
2020-06-24 10:28:00 +02:00
**Feature level 22**
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).
attachments: Change data type and make variable names more accurate. Change variable `name` to `date_sent` as `name` actually stores the date sent. Also change the data types of `name` and `create_time` to integer. As they actually have empty decimal value.
2020-06-24 10:28:00 +02:00
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: Remove is_old_stream property from the stream objects. This commit removes is_old_stream property from the stream objects returned by the API. This property was unnecessary and is essentially equivalent to 'stream_weekly_traffic != null'. 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 links broken by recent merge.
2020-06-19 07:55:08 +02:00

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.
2020-06-09 23:37:51 +02:00
**Feature level 11**
* [`POST /register`](/api/register-queue): Added
`realm_community_topic_editing_limit_seconds` to the response, the
time limit before community topic editing is forbidden. A `null`
docs: Add community_topic_editing_limit_seconds value to docs. This was added to the response in e242ddc. Specifying the value makes sure that the user does not have to dig in the commit history.
2020-09-08 16:06:25 +02:00
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
addresses, rather than user IDs, to encode private message recipients.
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.
2020-06-09 23:37:51 +02:00
move_topic_to_stream: Add option to disable breadcrumb messages. Option to disable breadcrumb messages were given in both message edit form and topic edit stream popover. User now has the option to select which stream to send the notification of stream edit of a topic via checkboxes in the UI.
2020-06-03 16:44:57 +02:00
**Feature level 10**
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 users/me`](/api/get-own-user): Added `avatar_version`, `is_guest`,
users: Refactor get_profile_backend to be based on format_user_row. 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.
2020-06-08 00:29:47 +02:00
`is_active`, `timezone`, and `date_joined` fields to the User objects.
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.

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.

users: Refactor get_profile_backend to be based on format_user_row. 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.
2020-06-08 00:29:47 +02:00
stream: Add support for sending user_id to endpoint when subscribing users. This commit modifies the backend to accept user ids when subscribing users to streams. It also migrates all existing tests to use this API, aside from a small set of tests for the legacy API.

The `email` field for identifying the user being modified in these events was not used by either the webapp or other official Zulip clients. Instead, it was legacy data from before we switched years ago to sending user_id fields as the correct way to uniquely identify a user.

`realm_bot` events no longer contain an `email` field to identify
the user; use the `user_id` field instead. Previously, some (but
not all) events of these types contained an `email` key in addition to
to `user_id`) for identifying the modified user.
users: Modify update user API endpoint to accept role as parameter. This commit changes the update user API endpoint to accept role as parameter instead of the bool parameters is_guest and is_admin. User role dropdown in user info modal is also modified to use "dropdown_options_widget". Modified by tabbott to document the API change.
2020-05-29 16:12:09 +02:00

sent when a user's role changes now include `role` property, instead
of the previous `is_guest` or `is_admin` booleans.
api: Simplify format of realm_emoji author data. There's no reason to send data beyond the user `id` of the uploader, and reason not to, as the previous model was both awkward when `author=None` and resulted in unecessary parsing complexity for clients. Modified by tabbott to add the frontend changes and API documentation. Fixes #15115.
2020-05-29 11:11:48 +02:00
* `GET /realm/emoji`: The user who uploaded a given custom emoji is
now indicated by an `author_id` field, replacing a previous `author`
object with unnecessary additional data.
api: Remove email field from realm_user and realm_bot events. The `email` field for identifying the user being modified in these events was not used by either the webapp or other official Zulip clients.

popovers.js: Add version to user avatar request. When a user changes its avatar image, the user's avatar in popovers wasn't being correctly updated, because of browser caching of the avatar image. We added a version on the request to get the image in the same format we use elsewhere, so the browser knows when to use the cached image or to make a new request to the server.

For privacy-minded folks who don't want to leak the information of whether they're online, this adds an option to disable sending presence updates to other users. The new settings lies in the "Other notification settings" section of the "Notification settings" page, under a "Presence" subheading. Closes #14798.

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`.
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.

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

`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.

intended to support web-public streams.
* Added `/export/realm` endpoints for triggering a data export.
