Until now, page_params.staging has been dependent on whether DEBUG =
True. On your local server, page_params.staging is true unless you set
DEBUG to False to test minification, in which case, it's false. This
situation still counts as staging IMHO, and the new behavior will be
more useful for testing as well as consistent.
Quick reference chart:
Is page_params.staging true... without this commit? with this commit?
-------------------- -----------------
On a local server, DEBUG=True Yes Yes
On a local server, DEBUG=False No Yes
On staging Yes Yes
On production No No

This was mistakenly included from a previous iteration of the do_deactivate()

Previously we added code which prevented us from serving custom fonts to
Humbug Desktop user agents due to concerns QtWebKit bugs with
@font-face.
On OS X, we use the system WebKit so we don't have this bug. In fact,
the aformentioned change caused us to have no custom fonts at all on Mac
systems!
Here we fix this by resuming the serving of such fonts to Macs.

We did this as a hack to prevent traffic while you were in the
tutorial. In the revised tutorial, we want you to see your actual
streams while you go through it, and we'll instead store the events
client-side for processing after you finish.

This improves the performance of unsubscribing to N streams by more
than a factor of 10 for large N.

Otherwise we could in theory make dozens or hundreds of
memcached/database queries to handle a narrow.
(imported from commit 232f38d8c005b9aef6f12f2f9a4d68a19134d038)
Previously we only used bulk queries when adding many users to a
single stream, resulting in very slow performance when subscribing
users to large numbers of streams (as happens when setting up a new
MIT realm user).

QTBUG-3467 prevents non-normal-face @font-face fonts from being used when
defined as such in CSS. To work around this, the desktop applications now
ship the Humbug font themselves, and this commit causes the server to no
longer send the problematic CSS rules to those clients.
We have some duplication insofar as we now have two minified CSS files, but
this is better than conditionally applying the CSS at page runtime.

Showing a user's bots in alphabetical order leads to a mildly
confusing experience when we append a new bot to the end of the
table, but then you hit refresh, and the new bot goes to a different
position. Since any given user is unlikely to have zillions of
bots, I don't think we need alphabetical order to help them find
old bots.

Since in the future we might want requests to add subscriptions to
include things like colors, in_home_view, etc., we're changing the
data format for the add_subscriptions API call to pass each stream as
a dictionary, giving a convenient place to put any added options.
The manual step required here is updating the API version in AFS
available for use with the zephyr_mirror.py system.
(imported from commit 364960cca582a0658f0d334668822045c001b92c)
Previously, it always failed because we had hooked up the API endpoint
to a function that doesn't exist.
(imported from commit b5269f6d8e385facae4362742fe69a422f6315b7)
This way we can return properties of the streams other than just their
names in future versions of the API without breaking old clients.
The manual step required is to deploy the updated version of
sync-public-streams on zmirror.humbughq.com when we deploy this code
to prod.
(imported from commit 42b86d8daa5729f52c9961dd912c5776a25ab0b4)
I believe this should require no special work on deploy, since some
grepping of logs suggests we are not currently using this API query.

Whereas `SITE_ROOT` referred to the directory where settings.py is
located, *all* actual uses of `SITE_ROOT` were joining it with `..` to
get the root of the git checkout, a much more useful value.
`DEPLOY_ROOT` now represents the root of the git checkout.

This improves the performance of the get_old_messages queries when
loading the home page by about a factor of 2.5x.

This is in preparation for having a case in which we query the
database directly to get the message flags, without going through a
UserMessage object.

memcached stores objects sent to it using pickling, which is very
slow. We work around this by sending memcached strings (i.e. JSON
dumps); pickling doesn't slow things down too much if all it is
getting is a string.
(imported from commit 0f0e534182eccb76c5731198e05a9324a1cef316)
This saves something like 15ms on our 1000 message get_old_messages
queries, and will save even more when we start sending JSON dumps into
our memcached system.
We need to install python-ujson on servers and dev instances before
pushing this to prod.

Wrapping render_to_response never actually worked correctly. On the
login page, mixpanel_token would be missing, but we wouldn't get an
error because it is surrounded by double quotes, which meant that it
was still valid Javascript.

Show user-uploaded avatars on the website for users who have
UserProfile.avatar_source == 'U'. (Continue to show gravatars
for other users.) This includes the home page, the visible-phone
div, and the settings page.
This fix does NOT address a few things:
* There is no GUI to actually upload user images yet on the website.
* The !gravatar syntax in bugdown will continue to show gravatar images
only.
* We are not changing identicon behavior.

Treat "mentioned" messages like "starred" messages for narrowing.
Lots of ugly copy/paste here. There might be opportunity for
some cleanup in places.

Messages that get sent out when someone subscribes many people to a new stream each
cause individual database queries (and their associated transactions). With the patched
bulk_create (which sets the .id on created objects), we can reduce this query down to a constant
number of queries on the Message and UserMessage tables.
Note for deployment (local dev, staging and prod):
you must be running a patched django, found here: https://github.com/acrefoot/django/branches
