The documentation included the full policy for the file uploads
bucket, but only one additional statement for the avatars bucket; the
reader needed to assemble the full policy themselves.
Switch to explicitly providing the full policy for both.
Fixes#23110.
Fixes#23517.
While this feature was added to Zulip very early, it has been troubled
for most of that time; it never looked great visually, had a lot of
implementation complexity around resize.js, and has a weird model (a
setting that changes the UI only in certain window sizes).
This option is not commonly used; while a significant portion of users
have it enabled, many of them just don't use window sizes where it
actually has an effect. So it's not clear that it will be missed if
removed; we got very few bug reports when it was completely broken for
a few days after we first integrated the new left sidebar private
messages design.
Even with it no longer being broken, it does not work very well with
the addition of the new PMs section in the left sidebar. (Having two
scrollbars in the sidebar looks quite awkward.) The new private
messages section in the left sidebar also addresses some of the use
cases for always keeping the Users list always visible, even in narrow
windows.
This option is only removed from frontend for now. To make this
decision easily reversible, the backend code of this feature
is still kept.
Since this is being moved to admin-facing documentation, also adds a
paragraph about the main concern with enabling this on a server that's
not zulip.com.
Inspired by #23377. We document a convention maneuver to avoid adding
noop migrations, which involves modifying the latest migration related
to the fields in question.

Updates the current 6.0 release notes to include information about
the rename to "Recent conversations", and updates past references
to "recent topics" to be consistently formatted as "Recent topics".
Replaces instances of "recent topics" in the web-app and documentation
to be "recent conversations".
Renames both `recent-topics.md` files in the help center to be
`recent-conversations.md` and updates/redirects links to new URL.
Does not update instances of "recent topics" in frontend code comments
and does not update the main overview changelog, for now.
Does not change case study text where "recent topics" was referenced
in a quote, but does change generic text references to be "recent
conversations".
This adds a helper based on testing patterns of using the "queries_captured"
context manager with "assert_length" to check the number of queries
executed for preventing performance regression.
It explains the rationale of checking the query count through an
"AssertionError" and prints the queries captured as assert_length does,
but with a format optimized for displaying the queries in a more
readable manner.

Previously, we included all three message edit related settings
("allow_message_editing", "message_content_edit_limit_seconds" and
"edit_topic_policy") in the event data and api response irrespective
of which of these settings were changed. Now, we only include changed
settings and separate events are sent for each setting if more than
one of them is changed.
Note that the previous typed in event_schema.py for
`message_content_edit_limit_seconds` incorrectly did not allow `None`
as a value, which is used to encode no limit.
* Make an "Outreach programs" documentation directory.
* Revamp doc on having an amazing outreach program experience.

Renames the filename so that it accurately reflects its contents
given the changes to the "Recommended setup" page in the previous
commit, and updates all links accordingly.
Windows users end up having to follow an odd chain of links because
the recommended installation instructions live on a different
page than the rest of the instructions about the environment setup.
All the tutorials about recommended install prerequisites for each
platform should be on the same page.
This moves the section about using WSL 2 from the advanced setup page
to the recommended environment setup tutorial page.
Renames sidebar and section titles to more accurately reflect the
information in the Recommended setup vs. the Advanced setup page.
Updates relevant text and links accordingly.
Fixes: #13696.
Updates the tutorial in "Writing help center articles: Writing
style" for using `<kbd>` HTML elements when documenting keyboard
shortcuts in help center articles.
Also, adds section about the keyboard tip macro/syntax.
We create "event-filter-instruction.md" and add it to
"create-bot-construct-url.md". This allows the user to keep track of the
supported event types for most of the integrations that implement this
feature. Note that not all integrations use "create-bot-construct-url.md".
We also need to rename "function" to "view_function" to make this change
type-check.
This is relevant to #18392.

This commit brings AzureAD config in line with other backends:
- SOCIAL_AUTH_AZUREAD_OAUTH2_SECRET gets fetched in computed_settings.py
instead of default_settings, consistent with github/gitlab/etc.
- SOCIAL_AUTH_AZUREAD_OAUTH2_KEY gets fetched in default_settings via
get_secret(..., development_only=True) like other social backends, to
allow easier set up in dev environment, in the dev-secrets.conf file.
- The secret gets renamed from azure_oauth2_secret to
social_auth_azuread_oauth2_secret to have a consistent naming scheme with
other social backends and with the SOCIAL_AUTH_AZUREAD_OAUTH2_KEY
name. This is backwards-incompatible.
The instructions for setting it up are updated to fit how this is
currently done in AzureAD.
Creates `zerver.lib.url_redirects.py` to record old and new URLs
for documentation pages that have been renamed/moved and need URL
redirects.
This file is then used by `zproject.urls.py` to redirect links and
by `zerver.test.test_urls.py` to test that all of the old URLs
return a success response with a common page header/text depending
on the type of redirect (help center, policy, or API).
Adds a section to contributor docs on writing documentation for
how to use this redirect system when renaming a help center or api
documentation page.
Fixes#21946. Fixes#17897.
We should rearrange Zulip's developer docs to make it easier to
find the documentation that new contributors need.
Name changes
Rename "Code contribution guide" section -> "Contributing to Zulip".
Rename "Contributing to Zulip" page -> "Contributing guide".
Organizational changes to the newly-named "Contributing to Zulip":
Move up "Contributing to Zulip", as the third link in sidebar index.
Move up renamed "Contributing guide" page to the top of this section.
Move up "Zulip code of Conduct", as the second link of this section.
Move down "Licensing", as the last link of this section.
Move "Accessibility" just below "HTML and CSS" in Subsystems section.
Update all links according to the changes above.
Redirects should be added as needed.
Fixes: #22517.
This module was originally introduced in 2016 to assist adding mypy
annotations to the project. Back then static type checking was not that
established throughout the codebase, so it was helpful to be able to
print out the types for type checking purposes.
This workflow is no longer helpful for improving type annotations right
now, and it has been unused for a while.

This is not a feature intended to be used outside zulip.com, since it
just sets your server to have the zulip.com landing pages. I think
it's only been turned on by people who were confused by this text.
We'll be merging a lot more features for the 6.0 release, but this
should cover everything merged since 5.0 and not backported to 5.x
and thus already released.
distutils is deprecated in Python 3.10 and will be removed in Python
3.12. We don’t need a full-powered version parser for this anyway.

Adds a section for writing and style guidlines to the tutorial
for writing help center articles. Moves the sections on 'Voice'
and 'User interface' to be in the new section, and adds a section
on 'Keyboard shortcuts'.
The default value in uwsgi is 4k; receiving more than this amount from
nginx leads to a 502 response (though, happily, the backend uwsgi does not
terminate).
ab18dbfde5 originally increased it from the unstated uwsgi default
of 4096, to 8192; b1da797955 made it configurable, in order to allow
requests from clients with many cookies, without causing 502's[1].
nginx defaults to a limitation of 1k, with 4 additional 8k header
lines allowed[2]; any request larger than that returns a response of
`400 Request Header Or Cookie Too Large`. The largest header size
theoretically possible from nginx, by default, is thus 33k, though
that would require packing four separate headers to exactly 8k each.
Remove the gap between nginx's limit and uwsgi's, which could trigger
502s, by removing the uwsgi configurability, and setting a 64k size in
uwsgi (the max allowable), which is larger than nginx's default limit.
uWSGI's documentation of `buffer-size` ([3], [4]) also notes that "It
is a security measure too, so adapt to your app needs instead of
maxing it out." Python has no security issues with buffers of 64k,
and there is no appreciable memory footprint difference to having a
larger buffer available in uwsgi.

Backups are written every 16k of WAL archive, and by default do not
have an upper limit on how out of date they are, as `archive_timeout`
defaults to 0.
Also emphasize that these are streaming backups, not just one
point-in-time backup daily.
Fixes#21976.
Notable changes:
- Describe `X-Forwarded-For` by name.
- Switch each specific proxy to numbered steps.
- Link back to the `X-Forwarded-For` section in each proxy
- Default to using HTTPS, not HTTP, for the backend.
- Include the HTTP-to-HTTPS redirect code for all proxies; it is
important that it happen at the proxy, as the backend is unaware of
it.
- Call out Apache2 modules which are necessary.
- Specify where the dhparam.pem file can be found.
- Call out the `Host:` header forwarding necessary, and document
`USE_X_FORWARDED_HOST` if that is not possible.
- Standardize on 20 minutes of connection timeout.
Our current EC2 systems don’t have an interface named ‘eth0’, and if
they did, this script would do nothing but crash with ImportError
because we have never installed boto.utils for Python 3.
(The message of commit 2a4d851a7c made
an effort to document for future researchers why this script should
not have been blindly converted to Python 3. However, commit
2dc6d09c2a (#14278) was evidently
unresearched and untested.)

Zulip Server 3.0 is now about 21 months old, which is more than
18 months. Per the general policy in the "Client apps" section
below, that means it's time to drop support for older versions.
We released 4.0 in 2021-05, so around 2022-11 we can update this
further to say 4.0.
One of the links in the GSoC ideas section in docs/gsoc.md led to
a page with 0 results. This has now been replaced with the correct
link leading to a list of issues with the mentioned labels.
On the Debian 10 -> 11 upgrade, the server is running Zulip 4.x, which
lets us pass `--audit-fts-indexes` to `upgrade-zulip-stage-2` rather
than run the command as a separate step.
The reindex-textual-data tool needs the venv to be cable to run;
switch the order of the last two steps, making them now match the
Debian 9 -> 10 and 10 -> upgrades.
Ref #21296.
When the credentials are provided by dint of being run on an EC2
instance with an assigned Role, we must be able to fetch the instance
metadata from IMDS -- which is precisely the type of internal-IP
request that Smokescreen denies.
While botocore supports a `proxies` argument to the `Config` object,
this is not actually respected when making the IMDS queries; only the
environment variables are read from. See
https://github.com/boto/botocore/issues/2644
As such, implement S3_SKIP_PROXY by monkey-patching the
`botocore.utils.should_bypass_proxies` function, to allow requests to
IMDS to be made without Smokescreen impeding them.
Fixes#20715.
This revised globe icon avoids looking like a "language choice" icon
(as the previous one did), while still being recognizably Earth (and
not a disk with some things drawn on it) and not showing only North
America (a flaw with the Font Awesome 4.7 icon).
Used a derivative of icon from
https://unpkg.com/ionicons@5.5.2/dist/svg/earth.svg
with modified outline by Vlad Korobov.
Previously, it was possible to configure `wal-g` backups without
replication enabled; this resulted in only daily backups, not
streaming backups. It was also possible to enable replication without
configuring the `wal-g` backups bucket; this simply failed to work.
Make `wal-g` backups always streaming, and warn loudly if replication
is enabled but `wal-g` is not configured.
Ubuntu 22.04 pushed a post-feature-freeze update to Python 3.10,
breaking virtual environments in a Debian patch
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python3.10/+bug/1962791).
Also, our antique version of Tornado doesn’t work in 3.10, and we’ll
need to do some work to upgrade that.
