css-loader@4 broke @import statements referencing files with
extensions other than .css, unless those @import statements are
compiled away by another loader. Upstream is more interested in
arguing that such @import statements are semantically incorrect than
applying the one line fix.

We don't modify bootstrap.js here but override its popover and
tooltip plugins. In future we will not import these plugins
via npm. We also copy all the popover code from bootstrap.css v2.1.1
to popovers.scss since all the code in bootstrap-tooltip.js is
based upon this css or vice versa.
Update THIRDPARTY info about bootstrap libraries.
There were 4 types of changes to bootstrap.js - bugfixes, file
moves, changes to typeahead plugin and changes to tooltip +
popover plugin.
Bugfixes were automatically fixed when upgrading to v2.3.2, file
moves are irrelevant to this upgrade and the plugins were
extracted into separate files.

We don't want bootstrap-btn css from v3.1.1 overlapping with v2.3.2's
.btn css; so we remove it.
Commits that were skipped:
3142d74 - false typo fix. It add support for IE9.
ead73f3 - We retain Glyphicons since they don't make any difference.
3bba0cc - Moving code around.
We merge bootstrap-responsive.css into bootsrap.css since that is
how bootstrap distributes it from this version onwards.
bootstrap.js has a lot of changes to it which completely breaks
our typeaheads and popovers, so we will have to override these
plugins with our version of these plugins. In future versions
of bootstrap when we use npm, we can just choose not to
import them.
This commit clearly shows what changes we made to the bootstrap
library for a future reference.
bootstrap-btn.css was left out since it is from version v3.1.1. We
will integrate custom changes made by us into zulip when we upgrade
to v3.x.
We have also removed our license from these files.
This particular commit has been a long time coming. For reference,
!avatar(email) was an undocumented syntax that simply rendered an
inline 50px avatar for a user in a message, essentially allowing
you to create a user pill like:
`!avatar(alice@example.com) Alice: hey!`
---
Reimplementation
If we decide to reimplement this or a similar feature in the future,
we could use something like `<avatar:userid>` syntax which is more
in line with creating links in markdown. Even then, it would not be
a good idea to add this instead of supporting inline images directly.
Since any usecases of such a syntax are in automation, we do not need
to make it userfriendly and something like the following is a better
implementation that doesn't need a custom syntax:
` Alice: hey!`
---
History
We initially added this syntax back in 2012 and it was 'deprecated'
from the get go. Here's what the original commit had to say about
the new syntax:
> We'll use this internally for the commit bot. We might eventually
> disable it for external users.
We eventually did start using this for our github integrations in 2013
but since then, those integrations have been neglected in favor of
our GitHub webhooks which do not use this syntax.
When we copied `!gravatar` to add the `!avatar` syntax, we also noted
that we want to deprecate the `!gravatar` syntax entirely - in 2013!
Since then, we haven't advertised either of these syntaxes anywhere
in our docs, and the only two places where this syntax remains is
our game bots that could easily do without these, and the git commit
integration that we have deprecated anyway.
We do not have any evidence of someone asking about this syntax on
chat.zulip.org when developing an integration and rightfully so- only
the people who work on Zulip (and specifically, markdown) are likely
to stumble upon it and try it out.
This is also the only peice of code due to which we had to look up
emails -> userid mapping in our backend markdown. By removing this,
we entirely remove the backend markdown's dependency on user emails
to render messages.

We had been using !time() syntax for timestamps so far. Since its
an unreleased feature, we can make changes without affecting many
people.
Fixes#15442.
This change was only required for the search pills enabled
search. As there is a valid use-case where the user might
want to remove just the latest pill(s) and then narrow.
This wasn't possible previously because, the typeahead was
looked up every time the backspace key was pressed. And since
the only way to narrow in search is through the enter key,
if the user entered it then the searchbox would get updated
with the first suggestion in the typeahead.
The alternative for the user would be to first lose focus on
the searchbox (by clicking outside) the focus again which
doesn't generate the typeahead. Then only the enter key would
be available for narrowing.
We do not display the typeahead after the search pills are
created. This is done just to match the behaviour for the
deletion of pills case too.
We use this approach and we don't just change the line
in `search.js` from `helpOnEmptyStrings: true` to
`helpOnEmptyStrings: !page_params.searchpills enabled`
because we still need to provide suggestions for '',
on initial lookup or every time the empty input searchbox
with search pills present gains focus.
This adds support for syntax like: !time(Jun 7 2017, 6:30 PM) so that
everyone sees the time in their own local timezone. This can be used
when scheduling online meetings, etc.
This adds some hardcoded values for timezones, because of there
being no sureshot way of determining the timezone easily. However,
since the main way of using the feature should be a typeahead for
entering the time, this shouldn't be cause of much concern.
Fixes#5176.
In our recent navbar changes, we made it so that the
Esc key auto-closed the navbar. Unfortunately,
that code would break other typeaheads with a traceback.
One user-facing symptom was that if you drafted a PM
and started a typeahead on a recipient, then hitting
the Esc key wouldn't close the typeahead.
Now we use an `on_escape` mechanism that is specific
to the navbar typeahead, so that it's both generic and
harder to break for widgets that don't opt in to it.
See bbdc66a214 for
more details on the commit that introduced this
regression.
Note that I only call `tab_bar.exit_search` now.
I don't check the class name of the input element,
since I know that the Esc key is happening in the
context of search. And I don't blur the input,
since it's going to be hidden.
We are sweeping the codebase to use startsWith
when possible. I kept this on a separate
commit due to us vendoring the library, just
to reduce some noise.
Zulip has had a small use of WebSockets (specifically, for the code
path of sending messages, via the webapp only) since ~2013. We
originally added this use of WebSockets in the hope that the latency
benefits of doing so would allow us to avoid implementing a markdown
local echo; they were not. Further, HTTP/2 may have eliminated the
latency difference we hoped to exploit by using WebSockets in any
case.
While we’d originally imagined using WebSockets for other endpoints,
there was never a good justification for moving more components to the
WebSockets system.
This WebSockets code path had a lot of downsides/complexity,
including:
* The messy hack involving constructing an emulated request object to
hook into doing Django requests.
* The `message_senders` queue processor system, which increases RAM
needs and must be provisioned independently from the rest of the
server).
* A duplicate check_send_receive_time Nagios test specific to
WebSockets.
* The requirement for users to have their firewalls/NATs allow
WebSocket connections, and a setting to disable them for networks
where WebSockets don’t work.
* Dependencies on the SockJS family of libraries, which has at times
been poorly maintained, and periodically throws random JavaScript
exceptions in our production environments without a deep enough
traceback to effectively investigate.
* A total of about 1600 lines of our code related to the feature.
* Increased load on the Tornado system, especially around a Zulip
server restart, and especially for large installations like
zulipchat.com, resulting in extra delay before messages can be sent
again.
As detailed in
https://github.com/zulip/zulip/pull/12862#issuecomment-536152397, it
appears that removing WebSockets moderately increases the time it
takes for the `send_message` API query to return from the server, but
does not significantly change the time between when a message is sent
and when it is received by clients. We don’t understand the reason
for that change (suggesting the possibility of a measurement error),
and even if it is a real change, we consider that potential small
latency regression to be acceptable.
If we later want WebSockets, we’ll likely want to just use Django
Channels.

Bootstrap v2.2.0^2~40^2~6 changes this default to false, so this is a
prerequisite to upgrading Bootstrap, and it’s also safer.
This closes an HTML injection path via user full names in the emoji
reaction tooltip. It doesn’t appear to be exploitable for cross-site
scripting because we disallow `>` in full names, and the code happens
to be written such that the next `>` is in a different parser
invocation.

This brings us in line, and also allows us to style these more like
unordered lists, which is visually more appealing.
On the backend, we now use the default list blockprocessor + sane list
extension of python-markdown to get proper list markup; on the
frontend, we mostly return to upstream's code as they have followed
CommonMark on this issue.
Using <ol> here necessarily removes the behaviour of not renumbering
on lists written like 3, 4, 7; hopefully users will be OK with the
change.
Fixes#12822.
Our implementation requires at least 1 space after the
'#' not not break existing linkifiers like '#123', etc.
that generally follow the convention we show in linkifier
examples.
- [valid] : # Hello
- [valid] : # Hello
- [invalid]: #Hello
For the frontend, we have taken the code from v0.7.0 of
upstream marked and made minor changes to avoid having
to refactor a significant part of our marked code.
For the backend, we merely have to change the regex to
force require spaces after #, and add hashheader to our
list of blockparsers.
Fixes#11418.
We can provide a function that returns an HTML string: `this.header()` to
display a header text above the typeahead. This can be used to provide
contextual information such as hinting about the silent mentions syntax
or the topic mentions syntax.
At the end of this commit, the HTML structure is:
$container <div>
$header <p>
info-icon
header-text
$menu <ul>
list-items
This change allows us to add custom changes to the HTML generated
by the typeahead without interfering with the core functions that
are provided by the library.
At the end of this commit, the HTML structure is:
$container <div>
$menu <ul>
list-items
We add support for triggering typeahead_completion on custom keyup events
in addition to Tab and Enter. The function `this.trigger_selection` takes
the keyup event as its argument and has the same `this` context as the other
typeahead functions.
This is being added to support partial completion of stream typeahead to
directly start the topic_list typeahead.
We add support for automatically selecting the currently highlighted
option in a typeahead without rendering the typeahead or the user
pressing 'enter'. The function `this.automated` can use available
data such as this.completing and this.token to determine if we should
automate selection or not.
This is being added to support the topic_jump mechanism.
We had several patches to spectrum, but the only essential one
(0ea770fc18) had already been fixed upstream,
and another was just handling jQuery deprecation warnings for not yet removed features.

The fix_positions argument here fixes the horizontal
position of the stream popover.
It also fixes the vertical position, both in the default case, and
also doing an appropriate adjustment for the case that the color
picker is open.
This contains a few changes by tabbott to, rather than hiding the
arrow unconditionally, only do so when it would no longer point at the
right part of the screen.
Fixes#2374.
Fixes#6059.
Fixes#7290.
The patch to bootstrap will make the position smarter, but we still
want to preserve the 100px default vertical offset we chose for visual
reasons.
Tweaked by tabbott to preserve the visual design.
We had disabled reference style links in bugdown, however,
we hadn't disabled them in marked. This commit rectifies
that and adds test cases for the same.
Fixes#11350.
The commit f863a9b567 had modified
jquery.filedrop's paste method to exit early if any of the items in the
clipboardData is of the string kind. The early exit was added to prevent pasting
an image thumbnail for text copied from software like MS Word, instead of
pasting the actual copied text content. When copying an image in a (modern?)
Browser, though, the clipboard seems to contain a html `img` tag item, along
with the actual image file. This resulted in pastes being broken.
This commit modifies the condition checked for the early exit. We now actually
look at the html content in the clipboard to see if it is an `img` tag, in which
case we upload the image, instead of exiting early.
Closes#7130.
On the backend, we extend the BlockQuoteProcessor's clean function that
just removes '>' from the start of each line to convert each mention to
have the silent mention syntax, before UserMentionPattern is invoked.
The frontend, however, has an edge case where if you are mentioned in
some message and you quote it while having mentioned yourself above
the quoted message, you wouldn't see the red highlight till we get the
final rendered message from the backend.
This is such a subtle glitch that it's likely not worth worrying about.
Fixes#8025.
