The decorator form is clearer by being more explicit; additionally,
the api_by_user rate-limit only currently used in one place, and makes
it difficult to test per-user rate-limits that are more specific.
Both `create_realm_by_ip` and `find_account_by_ip` send emails to
arbitrary email addresses, and as such can be used to spam users.
Lump their IP rate limits into the same bucket; most legitimate users
will likely not be using both of these endpoints at similar times.
The rate is set at 5 in 30 minutes, the more quickly-restrictive of
the two previous rates.
The existing test did no verify that the rate limit only applied to
127.0.0.1, and that other IPs were unaffected. For safety, add an
explicit test of this.
The only use case of rate_limit_rule which does not clear the
RateLimitedIPAddr history is test_hit_ratelimits_as_remote_server,
which is not made any worse by clearing out the IP history for a
non-existent `api_by_remote_server` domain.
Generally when we send confirmation emails to addresses the user has
not already proven that they control, we want to avoid including in
the email any user-controlled data. Doing so makes it hard for
malicious actors to use the feature to send spam, since they won't
have a way to include the URL for their malicious website in our
emails.
This has no effect at present, but it’s documented as necessary to
enable localization of theme strings in translated output, so maybe
it’ll be relevant some day.

This block has been obsolete since at least sphinx-rtd-theme 0.2.5.
Removing it fixes the heading permalink icon in a local build to be
consistent with the one shown on Read the Docs, and has no other
effect.

Delete all the boilerplate comments and unused options generated by
the ancient version of Sphinx that originally generated this file,
leaving a file that one can realistically read. Leave some links for
those who want to read about all the options that exist.

Since `prefers_web_public_view` key in session is only
relevant to users without an account, this key should no longer
be present in the user's session object.
Fixes#19907
scripts.lib.node_cache expects Yarn to be in /srv/zulip-yarn, so if
it’s installed somewhere else, even if it’s the right version, we need
to reinstall it.

While we figure out a plan in #19842 to display
subscriber count for spectators without doing a heavy query
to the database, we hide this section in navbar.
For export realm following changes have been made:
- `./manage.py export --upload` would delete `.tar.gz` and unpacked dir
- `./manage.py export` would only delete `unpacked dir`
Besides, we have removed `--delete-after-upload` as we have set it as
the default.
Fixes#20081
In #20012, it was discovered that since our `zulip_bots` package
requires `importlib-metadata >= 3.6; python_version < "3.10"`
whereas the server requires
`importlib-metadata==4.8.1 ; python_version < "3.8". This results
in `importlib-metadata` not being installed on Python 3.8 and
Python 3.9. This commit resolves that discrepancy.
Thanks to Anders Kaseorg (@andersk) for reporting this bug!
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.
Expands the developer tutorial 'Writing a new application feature' to
include more detail about the documentation aspects of adding a new
feature. Adds references to specific files that will be impacted and
highlights API changes as well as writing `/help` articles.
This commit includes the following changes.
- Adds the definition of the WSL acronym.
- Adds information for changing BIOS settings
in order to enable machine virtulization.
- Fixes a broken link to Microsoft WSL installation instructions.
- Adds a reminder to create a new SSH key before connecting to
GitHub.
- Removes the step to install Ubuntu. This step is now
included in the standard installation.
- Reminds the user to launch Ubuntu as and administrator.
- Switches the text editor in the example to nano from vim.
Nano is included with the wsl installation, and is easier for
most people to use than vim.
- Adds a separate step to fork the Zulip/Zulip repository.
- Adds the bash command to open VS Code and
reminds the user to install the relevant extensions.
With various formatting tweaks by tabbott.
It's always better to use the user ID than the email for fetching data
about an object whose unique ID we have, which should be all of them.
And it's also cleaner code to use the standard people.js method; tabbott
checked that indeed all callers get their `user` objects from `people.js`.
Since we restrict spectators from having access to avatars using
email to avoid someone brute forcing a user's email, this removes
a 401 response from the server in spectator view when trying
to open user info popover.
Additionally, this fixes the cached-fetching behavior documented in
the comments we add about the way we construct URLs.
If realm is web_public, spectators can now view avatar of other
users.
There is a special exception we had to introduce in rest model to
allow `/avatar` type of urls for `anonymous` access, because they
don't have the /api/v1 prefix.
Fixes#19838.
This commit adds functionality to import messages from the
Discussions having direct channels as their parent. As we don't
have topics in the PMs, the messages are imported in interleaved
form in the imported direct channels/PMs.
This was completely unsupported earlier and would have resulted in
an error.
This commit updates the error message returned when the maximum
invite limit for the day. We update the error returned by API to
only mention that the limit is reached and add the suggestion
to use multi-use link or contact support in the message shown
in webapp.
