Since this is currently only useful to interpret presence data, we
send this only if presence is requested.
I'm not sure that server_timestamp is the right name for this field,
but ultimately it should match the main presence API format.
We change the title to be more descriptive and also link to the
overall Zulip changelog, since one can reasonably get to this page
when googling for "Zulip changelog".
* Remove unnecessary json_validator for string parameters.
* Update frontend to pass right parameter.
Bump api feature level and highlight the fix for `emojiset`
parameter of `settings/display` endpoint in zulip.yaml file.
Fixes part of #18035.
This removes unnecessary json_validator for string parameters in the
BigBlueButton video calls endpoints. Note that this breaks links to
video meetings sent before the upgrade; there's not much we can do
about that.
Since this is the last commit in this series, we update the
ZULIP_FEATURE_LEVEL for this batch of changes.
Fixes part of #18035.
This commit adds both frontend and backend code to invite a user as
moderator. We allow only existing owners and admins to invite a user
as a moderator.
This commit modifies the user objects returned by 'GET /users',
'GET /users/me', 'GET /users/{user_id}' and 'GET /users/{email}'
endpoints to include role field.
We also include role field in the page_params['realm_users'] dict
and in the person object sent in (type="realm_user", op="add")
event.
This help mobile and terminal clients understand whether a server
restart changed API feature levels or not, which in turn determines
whether they will need to resynchronize their data.
Also add tests and documentation for this previously undocumented
event type.
Fixes: #18205.
This extends the /json/typing endpoint to also accept
stream_id and topic. With this change, the requests
sent to /json/typing should have these:
* `to`: a list set to
- recipients for a PM
- stream_id for a stream message
* `topic`, in case of stream message
along with `op`(start or stop).
On receiving a request with stream_id and topic, we send
typing events to clients with stream_typing_notifications set
to True for all users subscribed to that stream.
This commit adds an API to `zproject/urls.py` to edit/update
the realm linkifier. Its helper function to update the
database is added in `zerver/lib/actions.py`.
`zulip.yaml` is documented accordingly as well, clearly
stating that this API updates one linkifier at a time.
The tests are added for the API and helper function which
updates the realm linkifier.
Fixes#10830.
Organization admins can use this setting to restrict the maximum
rating of GIFs that will be retrieved from GIPHY. Also, there
is option to disable GIPHY too.
* This introduces a new event type `realm_linkifiers` and
a new key for the initial data fetch of the same name.
Newer clients will be expected to use these.
* Backwards compatibility is ensured by changing neither
the current event nor the /register key. The data which
these hold is the same as before, but internally, it is
generated by processing the `realm_linkifiers` data.
We send both the old and the new event types to clients
whenever the linkifiers are changed.
Older clients will simply ignore the new event type, and
vice versa.
* The `realm/filters:GET` endpoint (which returns tuples)
is currently used by none of the official Zulip clients.
This commit replaces it with `realm/linkifiers:GET` which
returns data in the new dictionary format.
TODO: Update the `get_realm_filters` method in the API
bindings, to hit this new URL instead of the old one.
* This also updates the webapp frontend to use the newer
events and keys.
Commit 4a3ad0d introduced some extra stream-level parameters
to the `realm` object. This commit extends that to add a
max_message_length paramter too in the same server_level.
Previously, you had to request the `stream` event type in order to get
the stream-level parameters; this was a bad design in part because the
`subscription` event type has similar data and is preferred by most
clients.
So we move these to the `realm` object. We also add the maximum topic
length, as an adjacent parameter.
While changing this, we also fix these to better match the names of
similar API parameters.
* Don't require strings to be unnecessarily JSON-encoded.
* Use check_capped_string rather than custom code for length checks.
* Update frontend to pass the right parameters.
With a much simplified populate_data_for_request design suggested by
Anders; we only support a handful of data types, all of which are
correctly encoded automatically by jQuery.
Fixes part of #18035.
This commit adds backend code for passing can_invite_others_to_realm
field to clients using the fetch_initial_state_data in the page_params
object.
Though this field is not used by webapp as of now, but will be used
to fix a bug of incorreclty showing the invite users option in
settings overlay in the next commit.
This commit replaces invite_by_admins_policy, which was a bool field,
with a new enum field invite_by_realm_policy.
Though the final goal is to add moderators and full members option
using COMMON_POLICY_TYPES, but this will be done in a separate
commit to make this easy for review.
We send the whole data set as a part of the event rather than
doing an add/remove operation for couple of reasons:
* This would make the client logic simpler.
* The playground data is small enough for us to not worry
about performance.
Tweaked both `fetch_initial_state_data` and `apply_events` to
handle the new playground event.
Tests added to validate the event matches the expected schema.
Documented realm_playgrounds sections inside /events and
/register to support our openapi validation system in test_events.
Tweaked other tests like test_event_system.py and test_home.py
to account for the new event being generated.
Lastly, documented the changes to the API endpoints in
api/changelog.md and bumped API_FEATURE_LEVEL.
Tweaked by tabbott to add an `id` field in RealmPlayground objects
sent to clients, which is essential to sending the API request to
remove one.
Adds backend code for the mute users feature.
This is just infrastructure work (database
interactions, helpers, tests, events, API docs
etc) and does not involve any behavioral/semantic
aspects of muted users.
Adds POST and DELETE endpoints, to keep the
URL scheme mostly consistent in terms of `users/me`.
TODOs:
1. Add tests for exporting `zulip_muteduser` database table.
2. Add dedicated methods to python-zulip-api to be used
in place of the current `client.call_endpoint` implementation.
We use GIPHY web SDK to create popover containing GIFs in a
grid format. Simply clicking on the GIFs will insert the GIF in the compose
box.
We add GIPHY logo to compose box action icons which opens the GIPHY
picker popover containing GIFs with "Powered by GIPHY"
attribution.
* `op` (operation) field, added in f6fb88549f, was never intended for
`custom_profile_fields` event. This commit removes the `op` as it doesn't
have any use in the code.
* As a part of cleanup, this also eliminates the schema check warnings
for `custom_profile_fields` event, mentioned in #17568.
This is preparatory work for investigating reports of missing unread
messages.
It's a little surprising that not test failed after adding the code
without API documentation.

This is part of our general process of replacing emails, which are not
static with time, with user_ids when referring to users in the API.
We still keep the `email` reference option, since it can be useful for
linking third-party applications to Zulip on an intranet that might
have a user's corporate email handy and not want to do the extra round
trip to lookup the user.
The name of the parameter, user_id_or_email, was chosen to to make it
clear that the default/preferred option is user_id.
Fixes#14304.
TextField is used to allow users to set long stream + topic narrow
names in the urls.
We currently restrict users to only set "all_messages" and
"recent_topics" as narrows.
This commit achieves 3 things:
* Removes recent topics as the default view which loads when
hash is empty.
* Loads default_view when hash is empty.
* Loads default_view on pressing escape key when it is unhandled by
other present UI elements.
NOTE: After this commit loading zulip with an empty hash will
automatically set hash to default_view. Ideally, we'd just display
the default view without a hash, but that involves extra complexity.
One exception is when user is trying to load an overlay directly,
i.e. zulip is loaded with an overlay hash. In this case,
we render recent topics is background irrespective of default_view.
We consider this last detail to be a bug not important enough to block
adding this setting.
Add new rest api endpoint GET users/{email} for looking up a user by
email, which is useful especially for corporate API applications that
might already have a user's email address.
Fixes#14302.
We eliminate some redundant checks.
We also consistently provide a `subscribers` field
in our stream data with `[]`, even if our users
can't access subscribers. We therefore bump
the API version and tweak the docs. (See further
down for a detailed justification of the change.)
Even though it is sometimes fine to have redundant code
that is defensive in nature, some upcoming changes are gonna
move subscriber-related logic out of build_stream_dict_for_sub
for certain codepaths as part of our effort to streamline
the payload for subscribers within page_params.
So we can't rely on the code that I removed here
inside of build_stream_dict_for_sub.
Anyway, it makes more sense to do these checks explicitly
in the validate function.
The code in build_stream_dict_for_sub was almost effectively
a noop, since the validation function was already preventing
us from getting subscriber info. The only difference it
made was sometimes converting `[]` to `None`, and then
subsequently omitting the subscribers field.
Neither ZT nor the webapp make any distinction between
`[]` or <missing key> for the `subscribers` data in
`page_params`.
The webapp has had this code for a long time (and now
equivalent code elsewhere in this PR):
if (!Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty.call(sub, "subscribers")) {
sub.subscribers = new LazySet([]);
}
The webapp calculates access based on booleans, anyway:
sub.can_access_subscribers =
page_params.is_admin || sub.subscribed ||
(!page_params.is_guest && !sub.invite_only);
And ZT would choke if `subscribers` were missing, except that
it never gets to the relevant code due to other checks:
def get_other_subscribers_in_stream(<snip>):
assert stream_id is not None or stream_name is not None
if stream_id:
assert self.is_user_subscribed_to_stream(stream_id)
return [sub
for sub in self.stream_dict[stream_id]['subscribers']
if sub != self.user_id]
else:
return [sub
for _, stream in self.stream_dict.items()
for sub in stream['subscribers']
if stream['name'] == stream_name
if sub != self.user_id]
You could make a semantic argument that we should prefer
<missing key> to `[]` when subscribers aren't even available, but
we have precedent from the way that `bulk_get_subscriber_user_ids`
has traditionally populated its result:
result: Dict[int, List[int]] =
{stream["id"]: [] for stream in stream_dicts}
If we changed `stream_dicts` to `target_stream_dicts` we
would faciliate a move toward `None`, but it would just cause
headaches for other server code as well as the frontends
(which, to reiterate, already prefer the empty array
for convenience).
Allowing any admins to create arbitrary users is not ideal because it
can lead to abuse issues. We should require something stronger that
requires the server operator's approval and thus we add a new
can_create_users permission.
We add a new wildcard_mention_policy setting to handle wildcard
mentions in large streams, with a wide range of policies available to
organizations.
We set the default to the safe option for preventing accidental spam:
only stream administrators being able to use wildcard mentions in
large streams.
`update_message_flags` events used `operation` instead of `op`, the
latter being the standard field used in other events. So add `op`
field to `update_message_flags` and mark `operation` as deprecated,
so that it can be removed later.
This commit adds "role" field to the Subscription objects passed to
clients. This is important preparation for being able to work on the
frontend for this feature.
This adds 'user_id' to the simple success response for 'POST /users'
api endpoint, to make it convenient for API clients to get details
about users they just created. Appropriate changes have been made in
the docs and test_users.py.
Fixes#16072.
When you post to /json/users, we no longer
require or look at the short_name parameter,
since we don't use it in any meaningful way.
An upcoming commit will eliminate it from the
database.
This particular commit has been a long time coming. For reference,
!avatar(email) was an undocumented syntax that simply rendered an
inline 50px avatar for a user in a message, essentially allowing
you to create a user pill like:
`!avatar(alice@example.com) Alice: hey!`
---
Reimplementation
If we decide to reimplement this or a similar feature in the future,
we could use something like `<avatar:userid>` syntax which is more
in line with creating links in markdown. Even then, it would not be
a good idea to add this instead of supporting inline images directly.
Since any usecases of such a syntax are in automation, we do not need
to make it userfriendly and something like the following is a better
implementation that doesn't need a custom syntax:
` Alice: hey!`
---
History
We initially added this syntax back in 2012 and it was 'deprecated'
from the get go. Here's what the original commit had to say about
the new syntax:
> We'll use this internally for the commit bot. We might eventually
> disable it for external users.
We eventually did start using this for our github integrations in 2013
but since then, those integrations have been neglected in favor of
our GitHub webhooks which do not use this syntax.
When we copied `!gravatar` to add the `!avatar` syntax, we also noted
that we want to deprecate the `!gravatar` syntax entirely - in 2013!
Since then, we haven't advertised either of these syntaxes anywhere
in our docs, and the only two places where this syntax remains is
our game bots that could easily do without these, and the git commit
integration that we have deprecated anyway.
We do not have any evidence of someone asking about this syntax on
chat.zulip.org when developing an integration and rightfully so- only
the people who work on Zulip (and specifically, markdown) are likely
to stumble upon it and try it out.
This is also the only peice of code due to which we had to look up
emails -> userid mapping in our backend markdown. By removing this,
we entirely remove the backend markdown's dependency on user emails
to render messages.

There is still some miscellaneous cleanup that
has to happen for things like analytics queries
and dead code in node tests, but this should
remove the main use of pointers in the backend.
(We will also still need to drop the DB field.)
We send user_id of the referrer instead of email in the invites dict.
Sending user_ids is more robust, as those are an immutable reference
to a user, rather than something that can change with time.
Updates to the webapp UI to display the inviters for more convenient
inspection will come in a future commit.
Change variable `name` to `date_sent` as `name` actually stores
the date sent. Also change the data types of `name` and `create_time`
to integer. As they actually have empty decimal value.
After some discussion, everyone seems to agree that 3.0 is the more
appropriate version number for our next major release. This updates
our documentation to reflect that we'll be using 3.0 as our next major
release.
With this implementation of the feature of the automatic theme
detection, we make the following changes in the backend, frontend and
documentation.
This replaces the previous night_mode boolean with an enum, with the
default value being to use the prefers-color-scheme feature of the
operating system to determine which theme to use.
Fixes: #14451.

We can now invite new users as realm owners. We restrict only
owners to invite new users as owners both for single invite
and multiuse invite link. Also, only owners can revoke or resend
owner invitations.
Two things were broken here:
* we were using name(s) instead of id(s)
* we were always sending lists that only
had one element
Now we just send "stream_id" instead of "subscriptions".
If anything, we should start sending a list of users
instead of a list of streams. For example, see
the code below:
if peer_user_ids:
for new_user_id in new_user_ids:
event = dict(type="subscription", op="peer_add",
stream_id=stream.id,
user_id=new_user_id)
send_event(realm, event, peer_user_ids)
Note that this only affects the webapp, as mobile/ZT
don't use this.
api docs filenames are basically the operationId of their endpoint
in zulip.yaml with `_` replaced by `-`. But some operationIds have
changed, so change the affected filenames. Make changes in other
files accordingly.
This adds a new client_capability that clients such as the mobile apps
can use to avoid unreasonable network bandwidth consumed sending
avatar URLs in organizations with 10,000s of users.
Clients don't strictly need this data, as they can always use the
/avatar/{user_id} endpoint to fetch the avatar if desired.
This will be more efficient especially for realms with
10,000+ users because the avatar URLs would increase the
payload size significantly and cost us more bandwidth.
Fixes#15287.
This commit adds backend support for setting message_retention_days
while creating streams and updating it for an existing stream. We only
allow organization owners to set/update it for a stream.
'message_retention_days' field for a stream existed previously also, but
there was no way to set it while creating streams or update it for an
exisiting streams using any endpoint.
This commit removes is_old_stream property from the stream objects
returned by the API. This property was unnecessary and is essentially
equivalent to 'stream_weekly_traffic != null'.
We compute sub.is_old_stream in stream_data.update_calculated_fields
in frontend code and it is used to check whether we have a non-null
stream_weekly_traffic or not.
Fixes#15181.
This is designed to have no user-facing change unless the client
declares bulk_message_deletion in its client_capabilities.
Clients that do so will receive a single bulk event for bulk deletions
of messages within a single conversation (topic or PM thread).
Backend implementation of #15285.
This new endpoint returns a 'user' dictionary which, as of now,
contains a single key 'is_subscribed' with a boolean value that
represents whether the user with the given 'user_id' is subscribed
to the stream with the given 'stream_id'.
Fixes#14966.
The only clients that should use the typing
indicators endpoint are our internal clients,
and they should send a JSON-formatted list
of user_ids.
We now enforce this, which removes some
complexity surrounding legacy ways of sending
users, such as emails and comma-delimited
strings of user_ids.
There may be a very tiny number of mobile
clients that still use the old emails API.
This won't have any user-facing effect on
the mobile users themselves, but if you type
a message to your friend on an old mobile
app, the friend will no longer see typing
indicators.
Also, the mobile team may see some errors
in their Sentry logs from the server rejecting
posts from the old mobile clients.
The error messages we report here are a bit
more generic, since we now just use REQ
to do validation with this code:
validator=check_list(check_int)
This also allows us to remove a test hack
related to the API documentation. (We changed
the docs to reflect the modern API in an
earlier commit, but the tests couldn't be
fixed while we still had the more complex
semantics for the "to" parameter.)
This was previously hardcoded with agreement between the Zulip backend
and frontend as 86400 seconds (1 day). Now, it's still hardcoded in
the backend, but arranged in a way where we could add a setting
without any changes to the mobile and terminal apps to update logic.
Fixes#15278.
This commit removes short_name and client_id fields from the user
objects returned by get_profile_backend because neither of them
had a purpose.
* short_name hasn't been present anywhere else in the Zulip API for
several years, and isn't set through any coherent algorithm.
* client_id was a forgotten 2013-era predecessor to the queue_id field
returned by the register_event_queue process.
The combination of these changes gets us close to having `get_profile`
have the exact same format as other endpoints fetching a user object.
This commit changes get_profile_backend to be based on format_user_row
such that it's a superset of the fields for our other endpoints for
getting data on a user.
To be clear, this does not removes any of the exisiting fields, that
were returned by this endpoint.
This change adds some fields to the User object returned by the
endpoint. API docs are updated accordingly for the added fields.
Option to disable breadcrumb messages were given in both message edit
form and topic edit stream popover.
User now has the option to select which stream to send the notification
of stream edit of a topic via checkboxes in the UI.
This commit modifies the backend to accept user ids when subscribing
users to streams.
It also migrates all existing tests to use this API, aside from a
small set of tests for the legacy API.
There's no reason to send data beyond the user `id` of the uploader,
and reason not to, as the previous model was both awkward when
`author=None` and resulted in unecessary parsing complexity for
clients.
Modified by tabbott to add the frontend changes and API documentation.
Fixes#15115.
This commit changes the person dict in event sent by do_change_user_role
to send role instead of is_admin or is_guest.
This makes things much more straightforward for our upcoming primary
owners feature.
This commit changes the update user API endpoint to accept role
as parameter instead of the bool parameters is_guest and is_admin.
User role dropdown in user info modal is also modified to use
"dropdown_options_widget".
Modified by tabbott to document the API change.
The `email` field for identifying the user being modified in these
events was not used by either the webapp or other official Zulip
clients. Instead, it was legacy data from before we switched years
ago to sending user_id fields as the correct way to uniquely identify
a user.
When a user changes its avatar image, the user's avatar in popovers
wasn't being correctly updated, because of browser caching of the
avatar image. We added a version on the request to get the image in
the same format we use elsewhere, so the browser knows when to use the
cached image or to make a new request to the server.
Edited by Tim to preserve/fix sort orders in some tests, and update
zulip_feature_level.
Fixes: #14290
For the below payloads we want `owner_id` instead
of `owner`, which we should deprecate. (The
`owner` field is actually an email, which is
not a stable key.)
page_params.realm_bots
realm_bot/add
realm_bot/update
IMPORTANT NOTE: Some of the data served in
these payloads is cached with the key
`bot_dicts_in_realm_cache_key`.
For page_params, we get the new field
via `get_owned_bot_dicts`.
For realm_bot/add, we modified
`created_bot_event`.
For realm_bot/update, we modified
`do_change_bot_owner`.
On the JS side, we no longer
look up the bot's owner directly in
`server_events_dispatch` when we get
a realm_bot/update event. Instead, we
delegate that job to `bot_data.js`.
I modified the tests accordingly.
For privacy-minded folks who don't want to leak the
information of whether they're online, this adds an
option to disable sending presence updates to other
users.
The new settings lies in the "Other notification
settings" section of the "Notification settings"
page, under a "Presence" subheading.
Closes#14798.
I imagine this can be improved in various ways, but I've initialized
this with all the **Changes** entries recorded in either zulip.yaml or
the rest of the API documentation, and I expect we'll be able to
iterate on this effectively.
It'll also be useful as a record of changes that we should remember to
document the API documentation as we document more endpoints that
currently don't discuss these issues.
While working on this, I fixed various issues where feature levels
could be mentioned or endpoints didn't properly document changes.
