As part of our todo in the code, we want to use the unique user IDs
instead of emails when processing the results of subscribing users to a
channel. These changes apply those changes and streamlines the use of IDs.
This param allows clients to specify how much presence history they want
to fetch. Previously, the server always returned 14 days of history.
With the recent migration of the presence API to the much more efficient
system relying on incremental fetches via the last_update_id param added
in #29999, we can now afford to provide much more history to clients
that request it - as all that historical data will only be fetched once.
There are three endpoints involved:
- `/register` - this is the main useful endpoint for this, used by API
clients to fetch initial data and register an events queue. Clients can
pass the `presence_history_limit_days` param here.
- `/users/me/presence` - this endpoint is currently used by clients to
update their presence status and fetch incremental data, making the new
functionality not particularly useful here. However, we still add the
new `history_limit_days` param here, in case in the future clients
transition to using this also for the initial presence data fetch.
- `/` - used when opening the webapp. Naturally, params aren't passed
here, so the server just assumes a value from
`settings.PRESENCE_HISTORY_LIMIT_DAYS_FOR_WEB_APP` and returns
information about this default value in page_params.
Currently, we want to ask users if they would like to delete their
attachments after they have removed the attachments while editing. These
changes are preparatory changes on the backend to return a list of removed
attachments after the user has removed attachments while editing.
Fixes part of #25525.
This commit removes the 'prev_rendered_content_version'
field from:
* the 'edit_history' object within message objects in the
API response of `GET /messages`, `GET /messages/{message_id}`
and `POST /zulip-outgoing-webhook`.
* the 'update_message' event type
as it is an internal server implementation detail not used
by any client.
Note: The field is still stored in the 'edit_history' column
of the 'Message' table as it will be helpful when making
major changes to the markup rendering process.
This commit make changes in code to include can_manage_group
field to UserGroup objects passed with response of various endpoints
including "/register" endpoint and also in the group object
send with user group creation event.
This commit adds a new group level setting can_manage_group
for configuring who can manage a group. This commit only adds
the field in database and make changes to automatically create
single user groups corresponsing to acting user
which will be the default value for this setting.
Fixes part of #25928.
Note that the link in zulip_update_announcements.py is not updated
so that the content in the source code reflects what users actually
received in the update announcement message.
This commit removes create_web_public_stream_policy setting
since web-public channel creation permissions are now
handled by group-based setting.
We still pass "realm_create_web_public_stream_policy" in
"/register" response though for older clients with its
value being set depending on the value of group based
setting. If we cannot set its value to an appropriate enum
corresponding to the group setting, then we set it to
"Admins and moderators" considering that server will not
allow the users without permissions to create web-public
channels but the client can make sure that UI is
available to the users who have permission.
Previously animated images were automatically played in the
message feed of the web app.
Now that we have still thumbnails available for them, we can add a new
personal setting, "web_animate_image_previews", which controls how the
animated images would be played in the web app message feed -- always
played, on hover, or only in the image viewer.
Fixes#31016.
Adds a header to the section of changes notes about new and
deprecated narrow filters, so that it's easier to directly
link to the relevant content in the construct a narrow article
from the main API changelog and endpoint documentation.
In a2ef1d7e93, we made changes so
that when you send a message, your view jumps to the conversation
where you sent it.
For some users it was an improvement, few reported that it
disrupts their workflows.
This prep commit adds a setting which will be used to allow users
to decide whether to automatically go to conversation where they
sent a message.
Previously, when a referrer's invitation to Zulip was accepted,
they got a notification from notification-bot indicating
their invitation has been accepted.
This commit adds an option for referrer to decide
whether he wants to receive the direct notification
from the notification-bot.
Fixes: #20398
Revises descriptive text for this endpoint to be clearer and more
robust.
Fixes issues with the rendering of the modern and legacy formats
for the user presence data.
Updates the description for `slim_presence` parameter as it relates
to the `presences` object that's returned in the response.
Adds the modern format for the `presences` object in the response
as that is what will be returned when the parameter above is True.
Clarifies that the ID of the edited message will always be included
in the `message_ids` list, even if there are no topic or channel
updates to be made.
