This is controlled through the admin tab and a new field in the Realms
table. This mirrors the behavior of the old hardcoded setting
feature_flags.disable_message_editing. Partially resolves#903.
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.
Move recenter_pointer_on_display, suppress_scroll_pointer_update,
fast_forward_pointer, furthest_read, and server_furthest_read to
a new pointer module in pointer.js.
Like the Stream Subject lists, Private messages are now shown
when the user clicks on the "Private message" link. User can drill in
to get more than 5 conversations. Selecting PMs from the user or group
PM lists on the right sidebar also opens the list & highlights the
selected conversation.
[Edited by tabbott@mit.edu to fix some small bugs.]
add_messages is a good entrypoint for this, since it gets called by:
1) get_old_messages
2) get_events_success (for new messages, via insert_new_messages)
which is all the places that rewrites should happen, but nowhere
where extra work is being done.

Closing the edit box earlier will make future changes less brittle,
when we, for example, re-narrow based on topic edits.
(imported from commit 36219c5129153beebfefe443932825fdf74abc43)
If we get a topic change, we can change the subject outside the
loop, since we are passed in event.orig_subject. Doing it inside
the loop was mostly harmless, since after you encountered the first
message with the old topic, the condition to change the subject
evaluated to false, but it was still technically O(N), and it was
kind of confusing.
This commit changes behavior in the edge case that you have the
compose box open for a changing subject, but you are in a narrow
that does not have any of the affected messages. After this commit,
the topic in the compose box will still change, which I believe
is the correct behavior.

This doesn't affect code when not in testing. It shaves 7 seconds off of casper
test time on my machine.

This experiment has been disabled for everyone for a while: if we
bring something like this back, it is not likely to be exactly the same,
and will be different enough to require a different implementation.
As it is, the summarization code was making a few code paths (rendering
especially) more complex, and is worth removing for simplicity's sake.

This reverts commit 64aced74012101f3bdbd3a4e6066b46ad8e1f4ea,
which was always intended as temporary code until we upgraded
the back end to support dictionary-style narrow operators.

Chrome was showing a memory leak after many auto-reloads. Emptying the
the collections and removing the event listeners reduces the severity.
Before this change 40 reloads would would grow to about 140MB, now it
stays around 50MB.

There are 2 uses of all_msg_list previous to this commit:
(1) The contiguous block of messages to be used for constructing the
initial state of narrows.
(2) A way to look up an arbitrary message by ID that may or may not be
in the home view to check if we have it locally.
We eliminate all applications of use case (2), replacing them with
queries on message_store, since they are in fact wrong -- any messages
that are outside the contiguous time period of all_msg_list would not
appear in all_msg_list and thus would incorrectly not be returned.

This implementation is somewhat hackish in large part because I think
we're going to be wanting to redo the get_old_messages API somewhat
soon, and this may naturally become a lot cleaner as a result, but
this isn't a lot of code and fixes#2235 part (A) and substantially
mitigates #1510.

I apparently screwed up when backing up the process_loaded_for_unread
move in a way that just lost the function.
