Highlights:
- Added a new "incoming webhook" bot type, limited to only sending
messages into Zulip, for better security.
- Dramatically improved the search typeahead experience when using
multiple operators.
- Overhauled the emails sent by Zulip to be more consistent and
readable.
- Added support for iOS mobile push notifications.
- Migrated the project to run exclusively on Python 3.
- Completely redesigned the emoji picker with a beautiful new design,
with categories, a showcase, and much better data.
- Completely redesigned the /integrations and /apps pages to be
more usable and more attractive.
- Completely redesigned the onboarding process to more effectively
explain Zulip and topics to new users.
- Added support for iOS mobile push notifications.
- Overhauled the emails sent by Zulip to be more consistent and
readable, and have a nice illustrated visual design.
- Redesigned several settings subpages to be visually cleaner.
- Redesigned the /help/ documentation site to have a nice sidebar
index.
- Added support for outgoing webhooks.
- We're now recommending the new electron desktop app to everyone.
Users should upgrade to the new desktop app; the legacy desktop app
from 2014 doesn't support useful browser features like local
storage and will be deprecated completely soon.
- Added a new API for fetching unread messages organized by topic to
support the mobile apps. The React Native app will likely start
requiring Zulip 1.7 soon. We don't intend to break app
support the mobile apps. The React Native mobile apps will likely
start requiring Zulip 1.7 soon. We don't intend to break app
compatibility with older server versions often, but it makes sense
in this case, since the new API is critical for providing a great
mobile experience.
in this case, since the new API is necessary for providing a
performant mobile experience.
- Fixed Zulip's historically buggy support for running multiple
organizations (realms) on a single Zulip server.
- Fixed a number of issues with untranslateable strings. Zulip is now
fully translated into Spanish, German, Czech, and Japanese, with
significant translations for a number of other languages.
- Added automatic "soft deactivation", which dramatically improves
performance for organizations with a large number of inactive users,
without any impact to the experience should those users return.
Zulip's performance now scales primarily with number of active
users; chat.zulip.org serves 300MAUs and over 3000 total users on a
VM with just 8GB of RAM (and its CPU is essentially always idle).
