We started doing this for install docs in de2a2d0df, because `latest`
wasn't suitable and because I didn't know about readthedocs's `stable`
feature. The result has been that even with a checklist item, we
don't reliably update the link.
Instead, use the special `stable` version identifier on readthedocs to
link automatically to the highest version it knows about.
This should make it easier to find the templates that are actually
part of the core webapp, instead of having them all mixed together
with the portico pages.
In the very early days of Zulip, we didn't have unread counts; just
the pointer, and the correct behavior when opening a new tab was to
place you near the pointer. That doesn't make any sense now that we
do have unread counts, and this corner case has been a wart for a long
time.
This commit does the main behavior change here. However, there's a
bug we need to fix, where we might end up trying to pre-render a view
of the narrow based on the `all_msg_list` data before `all_msg_list`
is caught up). We need to fix that bug before we can merge this; it
should be possible to determine that using `FetchStatus` on
`all_msg_list`, or with better performance by using the `unread_msgs`
structure to determine whether the message we should be selecting is
present locally.
Fixes#789.
Fixes#9070.
This is a first pass at fixing node docs. This commit eliminates
some text that is either obsolete or just overly confusing, and
it fixes some of the code samples to reflect how the API has
evolved in the last couple years. We also prominently tell
you how to run the tests.
I don't think anybody ever really used this feature, which I
developed but don't even use myself. It kind of runs counter
to the minimalist approach of the rest of node tests.
I would eventually like to re-think the template tests altogether.
They're slow, and we could solve that somewhat by replacing
jsdon/jquery with an HTML parser library to verify structural
things.
It's also possible that we can just rely on our template linters
to catch the biggest class of errors (malformed tags) and let
code review do the rest.
And it's also possible that we should make a second attempt to
ramp up tooling on making it easy to verify templates, but it
doesn't have to be part of the node tests. If we did that, we
would also potentially use tooling for Python-side templates.
These aren't perfect -- in particular "core chat experience" can
probably be broken up -- but I think they help in making a quick skim
work for getting some sense of what the changes are.
This change just reorders and adds headings, with virtually no wording
changes.
This is kind of easy to gloss over, especially with the framing
as a "format"; surely if things work at all, the file format
must have been right, right? It's really a bit more substantive
than that; say so and also add a bit more description.
In addition to many small edits for formatting and clarity, a few more
significant changes:
* In the main instructions, refer specifically to restarting the
server and to testing that the config works.
* Add SendGrid to the recommended list, as it seems like people
give it a somewhat stronger reputation these days than Mailgun.
* Discuss EMAIL_USE_TLS and EMAIL_PORT along with host, user, and
password in the "free services" section. Though those bullets feel
kind of duplicative to me already.
Let's get right to the point of how to configure SMTP once you know
what you want. That section is pretty short anyway; and we can have
a first step direct the reader to our suggestions if they don't know
what service they want to use.
Also adjust the hierarchy of the headings: group the various
alternative email services under one heading, and group
troubleshooting together under an independent heading.
Also correct what we say about EMAIL_PORT: the Django default is
apparently 25, so if the provider *does* use the usual port 587
then we'll need the port to be set.
In our new system for updating realm settings, we don't need to create
separate functions to update the input elements for each feature.
Most of the work is done automatically by
`settings_org.sync_realm_settings`.
Usually, to debug a small change, you have to remove some tests from JSON
because of lack of support for comments in JSON. This commit allows to
ignore some tests by setting `"ignore" : true` in the bugdown fixtures.
Also, since this is only for while developing, the complete test suite will
throw an error if we leave an 'ignored' test in a commit.
This will allow realm admins to remove others from private stream to
which the realm administrator is not subscribed; this is important for
managing those streams, because previously nobody could remove users
from private streams that didn't have any realm administrators
subscribed.
This will allow realm admins to access subscribers of unsubscribed
private stream. This is a preparatory commit for letting realm admins
remove those users.
This will allow realm admins to update the names and descriptions of
private streams even if they are not subscribed, which fixes the buggy
behavior that previously nobody could(!).
