We use zjquery now for testing stream_list.js, which runs faster
than the real jQuery and allows some test isolation. The nature
of the test is basically the same, but we don't actually render
templates. Instead of making assertions about the DOM, we are
now making assertions about how the stream lists get constructed
from other elements.
This reuses the work we did some time ago to avoid regenerating the
test database unnecessarily.
In addition to being a nice convenience for developers (since any
accomulated test data is still available), this also saves about half
the time consumed in a no-op provision.
Fixes#5182.
The realm avatar icon on the login and registration pages was
being set as a background image, which could vanish in high
contrast mode in many browsers. Converted it to an img tag and
verified that it is still styled correctly. I think the empty
alt attribute (to remove it from the audio description) is
appropriate in this context, since the realm name and description
are already provided immediately afterwards in the page content.
Fixes#4889.
The Zulip email mirror script called by postfix had performance/load
issues, because it spent so much time on startup/import due to use of
the Zulip virtualenv.
The script was rewritten using pure python (no Django) to improve
performance.
This is CVE-2017-0896.
Apparently, this setting never actually was wired up to anything other
than hiding the UI widget.
Huge thanks to Ibram Marzouk from the HackerOne community for finding
this security bug.
In pm_conversations.js, added function to make a user a PM partner and
another function to check if a user is a PM partner. A PM partner is
someone with whom the user has been in a PM with.
In recent_senders module, added a data structure to hold timestamps of
users' latest message in a topic. Also added a function to compare 2
users based on above timestamp. Added a function to process messages for
the data structure and a call in add_message_metadata. Also added node
tests for insertion of data into recent_senders.senders.
