_Unreleased_
#### Highlights
- Redesigned the left sidebar visually, adding convenient "New topic"
and "New direct message" buttons.
- Redesigned the right sidebar buddy list visually, adding a new "THIS
CONVERSATION" section showing just the users who've participated
recently in the currently viewed conversation, and improving its
filtering component.
- User groups are now much more powerful, supporting subgroups and
with new permissions settings for who can administer the group, join
it, or edit its membership. Permission for creating new groups is
now separate from permission to administer all groups.
- Most permissions settings in Zulip have been reimplemented with a
new flexible system based on groups, and can have a value of any
combination of roles, groups, and individual users. Groups can be
nested as subgroups of other groups. Groups are now deactivated,
rather than being fully deleted, so Zulip's audit logs still
maintain a complete history of permissions changes.
- Added a right sidebar buddy list style option showing user avatars,
designed for smaller organizations.
- Changes the semantics for when messages are marked as read when
scrolling the blue selection box past them and the bottom of the
feed is not visible to avoid shifting one's place when briefly
visiting a conversation.
- Reworked the "archive channel" functionality to not mutate their
names or make content inaccessible, with a view towards supporting
unarchiving channels.
- Significantly improved the performance of rendering messages in the
web application, and optimized common views to load near-instantly,
without making any network requests.
- Added a new syntax for entering a direct link to a message in the
compose box; message links pasted in the compose box are
automatically converted into this syntax. (The original URL is
accessible via browser undo or plain-text paste).
- Added support for uploading arbitrarily large files using the TUS
chunked-upload protocol. The existing `MAX_FILE_UPLOAD_SIZE` setting
will need to updated for most self-hosted installations; see the
upgrade notes below.
#### Full feature changelog
- Redesigned icons for bots, copying, and various other actions.
- Added support for syncing user roles with the SCIM integration.
- Added support for configuring certain custom profile fields to not
be editable by the user, for fields that are maintained by
administrators or synced from a third-party service.
- Added support for personal Microsoft accounts in the EntraID/AzureAD
authentication backend.
- Added `*` keyboard shortcut for navigating to starred messages view.
- Added UI support for data exports with member consent.
- Added new prompt when editing a message to remove the last reference
to a previously uploaded file.
- Added the "Enter sends" setting to the Preferences settings
panel. Previously, it was only accessible in the compose area.
- Added a new channel details menu when clicking channel pills.
- Added live-update support to reactions, starred messages, followed
topics, and similar views that previously did not support it.
- Added a clarifying modal the first time a user tries to resolve a
topic, confirming that they understand it's resolved for everyone.
- Added informative new error output when attempting to load a data
export into a Zulip server running a different server version.
- Added a new API endpoint for bulk-fetching messages by ID. Improved
API support for fetching users by email address.
- Added API support for changing another user's email address, with a
`can_change_user_emails` administrative permission issued via
management shell.
- Clicking on the channel name while viewing a topic in a channel is
now another way to reach the Channel Feed for that channel.
- New Airbyte integration. Updated GitHub, GitLab, GoCD, Linear, and
NewRelic integrations. Removed the OpsBeat integration as the
product is defunct.
- The GitHub webhook now has a flag to filter activity from private
repositories.
- The `ignore_pull_requests` flag for the Travis CI integration was
removed in favor of Zulip's generic event-filtering support.
- System bot avatars are now shipped with the server, instead of
relying on Gravatar.
- Deactivated users and bot users are now displayed more consistently
across the UI.
- Search results now show the full date on every result.
- The year is now always displayed on the first recipient/date bar
entering the current year (Previously, one might see "June 12, 2022"
followed by "July 15" and incorrectly think the latter was July 15, 2022).
- Improved hotkey documentation for macOS users with non-Mac keyboards.
- Improved search keyboard UI in several subtle ways.
- Improved how guest users are present in the invitation UI.
- Improved bottom-of-feed bookends for unsubscribed channels.
- Fixed a nasty bug where messages could be marked as read when they
arrived onscreen at an unattended computer with Zulip focused.
- Fixed several bugs involving clicking on message feed elements like
mentions in drafts, scheduled messages, and preview send components.
- Fixed a line-wrapping bug where punctuation could weirdly wrap to
the next line after mentions or global times.
- Fixed error handling of 502s caused by timeouts.
- Fixed several bugs involving deactivated users' group membership.
- Fixed several bugs in the logical data import/export system.
- Fixed several subtle race bugs involving local echo of sent messages.
- Fixed buggy URL-escaping of filenames in tooltips.
- Fixed bugs preventing reliably rolling restart of server processes.
- Fixed handling of several rare race conditions.
- Fixed inconsistencies in display order of group direct message recipients.
- Renamed `stream` to `channel` in generated URLs, now that enough
time has passed since `channel` support was added to mobile clients.
- Optimized the presence synchronization protocol to use dramatically
less network and CPU resources in large organizations.
- Optimized new database creation runtime by squashing almost 700
database migrations.
- Optimized the performance of creating channels with thousands of
initial subscribers.
- Reduced the size of static assets for an initial page load of the web
app by 22% using `zopfli` compression. Emoji spritesheets are also
now 30% smaller thanks to using the modern `webp` format.
- Migrated the remainder of the server's API parsing code to the
`typed_endpoint` abstraction backed by Pydantic v2, improving
performance and readability of the server project.
- Migrate almost all of the remaining JavaScript code to TypeScript,
fixing many minor bugs and latent issues.
#### Upgrade notes for 10.0
- This release adds support for uploading arbitrarily large
files. Because prior releases wrote the old default value of 25 (MB)
for the `MAX_FILE_UPLOAD_SIZE` setting into `/etc/zulip/settings.py`
during installation, you'll want to consider increasing that. The
new default value is 100. Since there is no technical limit, we
recommend considering how much storage you allocated to your Zulip
instance and the policy policy question of how you want to encourage
your users to share videos or other very large files.
- The `SOCIAL_AUTH_SYNC_CUSTOM_ATTRS_DICT` setting is deprecated in favor of the
more general `SOCIAL_AUTH_SYNC_ATTRS_DICT` setting structure, but still works in
this release for a smooth upgrade experience. The new setting supports
