We attempted a number of different approaches to solving this problem:
First, we tried using HTML5 local storage to keep track of which
browser should have created the desktop notification. This failed
because one needs locking, and it doesn't appear there is an working
locking implementation for HTML5 local storage that could allow us to
do this across tabs. See #2936 for details.
Ultimately we went with setting the message ID as a tag. Tags are
intended to be used for updating existing desktop notifications, which
means this implementation causes new notifications to flicker in and
out sometimes when multiple tabs are open, but that certainly beats
having duplicates.
Fixes#99.
This moves these functions from subs.js to stream_data.js:
receives_desktop_notifications
receives_audible_notifications
This makes notifications.js no longer dependent on the
bloated subs.js.
$.browser is not supported in higher versions of jQuery. The solution
is to instead use vanilla JavaScript to test the navigator.userAgent
property for the browser.
Fixes: #1033.
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.
860cf68716 introduced calls to
notifications.redraw_title() on narrow activation. This introduced a
bug when the Zulip desktop app reloads while narrowed --
new_message_count would still be set to undefined when
narrow.activate() is called as the page (re)loads, and thus we'd call
window.bridge.updateCount(undefined), resulting in a traceback.
We fix this by just initializing it to 0, rather than using the old
default value of undefined.
Known issues:
* No support for whitelabeling in the email
* No whitelabeling for any externally-visible branding

Chrome has removed the webkitNotifications API and not only has the w3c
web notifications API. This adds a shim when webkitNotifications is
missing but Notification is present.

This sets us up to redraw the window title without having to
pass in the unread count, which will be useful for realm name
changes. The redraw_title() function is only responsible for
rendering stuff, whereas update_title_count() handles
the details of caching the count.

If a message edit causes a message to become notifiable, we send
a notification to the user, but only if they haven't had any previous
notifications for this message.

This is the "Tried to call a Dict method with an undefined key" error
because it tried to look up stream information for `undefined`.

`$(message.content)` breaks on /me messages because they are not
wrapped in `<p>` so the message content is interpreted as a selector.
The message text is no longer used, so this line can simply be removed.

This seems to only work in Chrome and Safari.
Firefox (at least my version) simply doesn't fire an onclick
event, and our desktop app has its own native code that decides
what to do when a notification is clicked.

This makes the notification slightly more conservative as we do our
initial roll out. In particular, it avoids cases like being notified
when you are almost at the bottom of your feed for a message in your
narrow.

This moves the notify-not-in-view notifications into the composebox area.
It also tries to be a bit smarter about what action it links and what it displays.

It's somewhat buggy, and has thus been annoying our internal users, so
better to disable it until we can fix the bugs.

Displays a notification above the composebox in cases where the message
is not visible (further down), or where it's outside the current narrow or search.
It also offers a link to the appropriate narrow when it makes sense, and offers
timetravel when appropriate. There is currently a bug with timetravel (and you can
see this when using the popover menu) that makes "narrow to messages around this time"
not work for muted messages.
This resolves Trac #1518.

This doesn't address the more complicated case of someone @-mentioning
you on a muted topic, which consensus is you do want to get
information for, but we need to develop some infrastructure to present
that case to users clearly.

For web pages, the initial favicon is the same as the favicon we
set for no unread messages and the initial page title is the same
as the page title we set for no unread messages. However, for the
OS X app, the dock icon does not get its badge updated on initial
page load. If the badge icon was wrong right before a reload and
we actually have no unread messages then we will never execute
bridge.updateCount() until the unread count changes. Therefore,
we now ensure that bridge.updateCount is always run at least once
to synchronize it with the page title.

In a few cases the $.each was doing something imperatively that was
terser and easier to understand by using a different Underscore method,
so a few of these I rewrote.
Some code was using the fact that jQuery sets `this` in the callback to
be the item; I rewrote those to use an explicit parameter.
Some code was using $(some selector).each(callback). I converted these
to _.each($(some selector), callback).
One function, ui.process_condensing, was written to be a jQuery $.each
callback despite being in a totally different module from code using it.
I noticed this and updated the function's args.
