Previously the viewport.scrollTop() command that we ran in this case
would actually scroll far off the bottom of the site; it only did
something that looked reasonable because bottom_whitespace was small
and thus the scroll was truncated.
This version scrolls to 10% of the viewport away from the top. We may
need to tweak that to instead be a fixed number of pixels or something.

Previously the code to save/restore the scroll position when toggling
a stream in/out of the home view would only work if you were currently
not in the home tab -- because you used to only be able to do this
from other pages.

Previously, we had some ugly complicated logic through which we
attempted to keep the selected message on screen when prepending
messages, but we didn't actually preserve the scroll position -- the
selected message would jump on the screen. This fixes that, by just
saving/restoring the scroll position of the selected message.
This perhaps makes our model/view split even less clear, but at least
it's correct.

message_list.prepend() now actually only rerenders the new messages
when prepending using the where="top" functionality (previously it
would erroneously just adjust the message database and then wait for
message_list.append() to call _maybe_rerender(), determine that things
are awry, and rerender the whole message list).
(imported from commit c64b7b540a4f5332ad792de0fad9f20750e6db1c)
This has two benefits:
(1) Users can scroll their last message to near the top of the screen,
which decreases how often one needs to scroll down to track current
messages.
(2) It makes scrolling bugs near the bottom of the screen a lot easier
to find, because scrolling down too far isn't blocked by being unable
to scroll messages off the screen.
We should probably later convert this to some formula that varies
dynamically based on the height of the last message.

It turns out that this code tries to place the initial pointer 1/7
from the top; the only reason something reasonable happened
historically is that bottom_whitespace was only 40% of the screen, so
the pointer message ends up landing in the center anyway.
(imported from commit 56d4c2acd018d9a87551c82a43c214c6d80bfb90)
Previously we incorrectly would sometimes trigger autoscroll when
messages arrived via get_old_messages (i.e. we loaded some historical
messages from the server). This resulted in some confusing and
erroneous scrolling behavior.
I kinda hate the fact that we need to pass these values all the way
through the rendering process, but fundamentally there's no other way
for _render to find out, and pushing the autoscrolling higher up in
the stack is hard since we don't return anything like the block of new
messages.

This is purely cosmetic, and just puts some similar functions
together in a way that JS lint won't complain about calling a
function before it was defined.

To apply this to your system, run:
python manage.py update_permissions
A rebuilt database will already have the correct permission defined.

On a Debian/Ubuntu system with the Ops repo installed, you can add this
dependency by running:
sudo apt-get install python-django-guardian
We use a slightly modified version of the package, so users of other
systems should manually download the source from my GitHub fork and
install it as they would any other Python library:

API clients use.

This would have made reactivations hard, and doesn't really buy us much
additional security.
During deactivation, all a user's current sessions are deactivated and
they are marked as not active. This prevents them from logging in via
the web UI, and makes their API key unusable.
Randomizing their password is probably gratuitious, especially as we
start to allow authorized end-users to deactivate others.

Prior to this commit, populate_db would crash if you had ever deactivated

This reduces roundtrips hopefully and will provide a friendlier error
message than what would otherwise be produced by Django.
(imported from commit 034aeef00043e3bf059583770f6c08c4f73ceeb5)
This allows us to inform users that the reason they are unable to log in
is because their account has been deactivated. This message (generated by
Django) is only shown when the correct credentials are used and is_active
is False.
(imported from commit 754a4c9af6ec05e8f18cf183bc08b67bacdeb3e0)
Previously we rested on the safety of randomised API keys to ensure that
deactivated users could not use the product. Here, we add an explicit check
to prevent that.
