This links to the release lifecycle documentation and is a bit more
explicit about how to use this.
Probably further improvement would be useful as well.
Add `escape_navigates_to_default_view` as a bool setting in
UserBaseSettings model and implement it as a checkbox that toggles
the hotkey implementation of escape to the default view in the
advanced user display settings.
With /help/ documentation edits from Alya Abbott.
Fixes#20043.
* Remove unnecessary json_validator for full_name parameter.
* Update frontend to pass the right parameter.
* Update documentation and note the change.
Fixes#18409.
This will be useful to let users enable/disable
sharing read receipts once we add that feature.
Note: Added "I've" to IGNORED_PHRASES in
tools/lib/capitalization.py to avoid capitalization
errors for the label text of this setting.
Note: These are not functional in enabling/disabling sending of
typing notifications with this commit.
Refactored the privacy settings update to keep the code less
duplicated along with making the addition of new settings easier.
This commit adds create_web_public_stream_policy
field to Realm table which controls the roles that
can create web-public streams and by default its
value is set to POLICY_OWNERS_ONLY.
Users wanted a feature where they could specify
which users can create public streams and which users can
create private streams.
This splits stream creation code into two parts,
public and private stream creation.
Fixes#17009.
This commit replaces 'allow_message_deleting' boolean setting
with an integer setting 'delete_own_message_policy'. We have a
separate dropdown now for deciding which user-roles can delete
messages sent by themselves and the time-limit setting droddown
is different.
This new setting has two options - everyone and admins only. Other
options including moderators will be added further.
We also remove the "Never" option from the original time-limit
dropdown, as admins are always allowed to delete message. This
never option resembled the case of only admins being allowed to
delete but this state is now resembled by setting the dropdown
to "admins only" and we also disable the time-limit dropdown in
this case as admins are allowed to delete irrespective of limit.
Note, this setting is only for deleting messages sent by the
deleting user themselves, and only admins are allowed to delete
messages sent by others as before.
We make zero invalid value for message_content_delete_limit_seconds and
for handling the case of "Allow to delete message any time", the API-level
value of message_content_delete_limit_seconds is "anytime" and "None"
as the DB-level value. We also use these values for message retention
setting, so it helps maintain consistency.
This commit removes the existing default_twenty_four_hour_time field in
Realm table which was used to set the twenty_four_hour_time setting of
new user on joining and instead we now use the twenty_four_hour_time
field of RealmUserDefault table for the same.
With some tweaks by tabbott to clarify the documentation.
We allow clients to make existing streams web public via the API.
This feature is still disabled via settings in production
environments, because we may have additional policy rules or UI
warnings we wish to add to this sort of conversion.
User can now create web public stream via the /subscribe API.
So, when a web public stream present in the API request does not
exist, it will be created now by specifying the is_web_public
parameter. The parameter would have been ignored without this
commit.
Now, when we add a custom animated emoji to the realm
we also save a still image of it (1st frame of the gif). So
we can avoid showing an animated emoji every time.
This commit adds do_set_realm_user_default_setting which
will be used to change the realm-level defaults of settings
for new users.
We also add a new event type "realm_user_settings_defaults"
for these settings and a "realm_user_settings_default" object
in '/register' response containing all the realm-level default
settings.
This commit adds `demo_organization_scheduled_deletion_date` to
the `realm` section of the `/register` response so that it is
available to clients when enabled.
This is a part of #19523.
This commit indicates that the realm_message_retention_days field can have
a special value, similar to its stream counterpart, and also explains how
the special value changed over different server versions.
With an extension from tabbott to double-enter the changelog entry.
Related discussion: https://chat.zulip.org/#narrow/stream/378-api-design/topic/realm_message_retention_days
This commit updates both the stream-level and realm-level message
retention setting to use 'unlimited' instead of 'forever' to set
message retention setting to "retain messages forever".
We added "user_settings" object containing all the user settings in
previous commit. This commit modifies the code to send the existing
setting fields in the top-level object only if user_settings_object
client_capabilities field is False.
This commit adds "user_settings_object" field to
client_capabilities which will be used to determine
if the client needs 'update_display_settings' and
'update_global_notifications' event.
We send a event with type 'user_settings' on updating user's display
and notification settings.
The old event types - 'update_global_notifications' and
'update_display_settings', are still supported for backwards
compatibility.
Return zulip_merge_base alongside zulip_version
in `/register`, `/event` and `/server_settings`
endpoint so that the value can be used by other
clients.
These were added at some point in the past, but were not complete, and
it makes sense to document the current feature level as and when they
become available, since clients should not use the drafts endpoints on
older feature levels.
In this commit:
* We update the `UserStatus` model to accept
`AbstractReaction` as a base class so, we can get all the
fields related to store status emoji.
* We update the user status endpoint
(`users/me/status`) to accept status emoji fields.
* We update the user status event to add status emoji
fields.

This commit replaces boolean field add_emoji_by_admins_only with an
integer field add_custom_emoji_policy as we would also add full members
and moderators option for this setting in further commits.
Cross realm bots will soon stop being a thing. This param is responsible
for displaying "System Bot" in the user info popover - so this rename is the
right way to handle the situation.
We will likely want to rename the `cross_realm_bots` section as well,
but that is a more involved API migration.
We allow a maximum value of one week to make sure there aren't a huge
number of rows in the table for any user (this could happen if stream
notifications are enabled).
This commit also fixes a small error in the user_settings test.
This API change removes unnecessary complexity from a client that
wants to change a user's personal settings, and also saves developers
from needing to make decisions about what sort of setting something is
at the API level.
We preserve the old settings endpoints as mapping to the same function
as the new one for backwards-compatibility. We delete the
documentation for the old endpoints, though the documentation for the
merged /settings endpoint mentions how to use the old endpoints when
needed.
We migrate all backend tests to the new endpoints, except for
individual tests for each legacy endpoint to verify they still work.

Sometime in the deep past, Zulip the GET /users/me/subscriptions
endpoint started returning subscribers. We noticed this and made it
optional via the include_subscribers parameter in
1af72a2745, however, we didn't notice
that they were being returned as emails rather than user IDs.
We migrated the core /register code paths to use subscriber IDs years
ago; this change completes that for the endpoints we forgot about.
The documentation allowed this error because we apparently had no
tests for this code path that used the actual API.
We remove the "full_name" and "account_email" fields from the response
of 'PATCH /settings' endpoint. These fields were part of the response
to make sure that we tell that the parameters not present in response
were ignored.
We can remove these fields as 'ignored_parameters_unsupported' now
specifies which parameters were ignored and not supported by the
endpoint.
We add "ignored_parameters_unsupported" field to the response object
of 'PATCH /settings' endpoint. This will contain the parameters
passed to the endpoint which are not changed by the endpoint and are
ignored.
This will help in removing the other fields like "full_name" from
response which was essentially present to specify that only these
fields were updated by the endpoint and rest were ignored.
We will also change other endpoints to follow this in future.
The operationId is directly used in URLs of API doc pages
to find the OpenAPI data to render. However, this is dash-
separated in the URLs, and having underscore_separated IDs
in OpenAPI data doesn't allow direct comparison of the two.
This commit changes all OperationIDs from underscore_separated
to dash-separated.
