**Highlights:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Added support for Ubuntu 20.04 Focal. This release drops support
|
||||
for Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial and Debian 9 Stretch.
|
||||
- Redesigned the top navbar/search area to be much cleaner and show
|
||||
useful data like subscriber counts and stream descriptions in
|
||||
default views.
|
||||
- Redesigned "Notification settings" to have an intuitive table
|
||||
format and display any individual streams with non-default settings.
|
||||
- Added support for moving topics between streams. This was by far
|
||||
Zulip's most-requested feature.
|
||||
- Added support for GitLab authentication.
|
||||
- Added an organization setting controlling who can use private messages.
|
||||
- Added support for default stream groups, which allow organizations
|
||||
to offer options of sets of streams when new users sign up.
|
||||
Currently can only be managed via the Zulip API.
|
||||
- Quote-and-reply now includes a link to the quoted message.
|
||||
- Replaced file upload frontend with one supporting chunked upload.

||||
We expect this to enable uploading much larger files using Zulip.

validated against the API's actual implementation.
|
||||
- Added support for programmable message retention policies.
|
||||
- Added a new incoming webhook API that accepts messages in the format
|
||||
used by Slack's incoming webhooks API.
|
||||
- Introduced the Zulip API Feature Level, a concept that will greatly
|
||||
simplify the implementation of mobile, terminal, and desktop clients
|
||||
that need to talk to a wide range of supported Zulip server
|
||||
versions, as well as the [Zulip API
|
||||
changelog](https://zulip.com/api/changelog).
|
||||
- Our primary official domain is now zulip.com, not zulipchat.com.

|
||||
- Logged in users will be logged out during this one-time upgrade to
|
||||
transition them to more secure session cookies.
|
||||
- This release contains dozens of database migrations, but we don't
|
||||
anticipate any of them being particularly expensive compared to
|
||||
those in past major releases.
|
||||
- The format of the `JWT_AUTH_KEYS` setting has changed to include an
|
||||
[algorithms](https://pyjwt.readthedocs.io/en/latest/algorithms.html)
|
||||
list: `{"subdomain": "key"}` becomes `{"subdomain": {"key": "key",
|
||||
"algorithms": ["HS256"]}}`.
|
||||
- Added a new Organization Owner permission above the previous
|
||||
Organization Administrator. All existing organization
|
||||
administrators are automatically converted into organization owners.
|
||||
In the future, certain administrative settings will only be editable
|
||||
by Organization Owners.
