This commit changes people.remove() to be people.deactivate(),
and it fixes a bug where deactivating users was causing tracebacks
in the PM list if somebody had PM'ed the deactivated user
recently.
We need this for node tests, so that you don't have to explicitly
remove every user between tests. (Also, people.remove() is about
to have different semantics.)
We now sort lists of users ids deterministically, and we also
sort list of emails deterministically and without regard to case.
This probably fixes the bug #2343, although I never got a great
repro on that.
If I try to send a message to an unknown user (which is possible
for some types of realms), then I simply ignore them during the
send codepath, so that I don't later need to patch up their attributes.
We no longer store pm_recipient_count on person objects, but we
instead use a Dict to store them. Then the new API is this:
people.get_recipient_count()
people.incr_recipient_count()
We now send dictionaries for cross-realm bots. This led to the
following changes:
* Create get_cross_realm_dicts() in actions.py.
* Rename the page_params field to cross_realm_bots.
* Fix some back end tests.
* Add cross_realm_dict to people.js.
* Call people.add for cross-realm bots (if they are not already part of the realm).
* Remove hack to add in feedback@zulip.com on the client side.
* Add people.is_cross_realm_email() and use it in compose.js.
* Remove util.string_in_list_case_insensitive().
This sends an event when a new avatar is uploaded that refreshes the
avatar for all browser clients without the need to reload the browser.
Fixes: #1359.
Previously, we were checking if a particular user was the current user
in dozens of places in the codebase, and correct case-insensitive
checks were not used consistently, leading to bugs like #502.
Since it's basically impossible to add a person with an
undefined full_name--even "skeleton" people--there is no
need to check the full_name field to short circuit reify(),
because it will always be defined.
