This replaces the TERMS_OF_SERVICE and PRIVACY_POLICY settings with
just a POLICIES_DIRECTORY setting, in order to support settings (like
Zulip Cloud) where there's more policies than just those two.
With minor changes by Eeshan Garg.
This is an additional security hardening step, to make Zulip default
to preventing SSRF attacks. The overhead of running Smokescreen is
minimal, and there is no reason to force deployments to take
additional steps in order to secure themselves against SSRF attacks.
Deployments which already have a different external proxy configured
will not gain a local Smokescreen installation, and running without
Smokescreen is supported by explicitly unsetting the `host` or `port`
values in `/etc/zulip/zulip.conf`.
This likely still needs work on updating the list of highlights, as
well as an editing pass, but we shouldn't need to read the whole
`git log --stat` again.
After some discussion, everyone seems to agree that 3.0 is the more
appropriate version number for our next major release. This updates
our documentation to reflect that we'll be using 3.0 as our next major
release.
This adds a convenient way to review the upgrade notes for all Zulip
releases that one is upgrading across.
I thought about moving all the upgrade notes to a common section, but
in some cases the language is clearly explaining changes in the
release that are not duplicated elsewhere, and I think it reads better
having them inline alongisde related changes.
We're migrating to using the cleaner zulip.com domain, which involves
changing all of our links from ReadTheDocs and other places to point
to the cleaner URL.
Calling jwt.decode without an algorithms list raises a
DeprecationWarning. This is for protecting against
symmetric/asymmetric key confusion attacks.
This is a backwards-incompatible configuration change.
Fixes#15207.

This defends against cross-origin session fixation attacks. Renaming
the cookies means this one-time upgrade will have the unfortunate side
effect of logging everyone out, but they’ll get more secure sessions
in return.

This includes an experiment of having a draft of the 2.1.3 changelog,
which is helpful in avoiding duplication with the 2.2.0 changelog for
items we're planning to backport.
Merges the "Upgrades" section from production/maintain-secure-upgrade.md
with production/modifying-zulip.md.
Contains significant textual changes by tabbott to read more clearly.
- Updated 260+ links from ".html" to ".md" to reduce the number of issues
reported about hyperlinks not working when viewing docs on Github.
- Removed temporary workaround that suppressed all warnings reported
by sphinx build for every link ending in ".html".
Details:
The recent upgrade to recommonmark==0.5.0 supports auto-converting
".md" links to ".html" so that the resulting HTML output is correct.
Notice that links pointing to a heading i.e. "../filename.html#heading",
were not updated because recommonmark does not auto-convert them.
These links do not generate build warnings and do not cause any issues.
However, there are about ~100 such links that might still get misreported
as broken links. This will be a follow-up issue.
Background:
docs: pip upgrade recommonmark and CommonMark #13013
docs: Allow .md links between doc pages #11719Fixes#11087.
This requires part 1 (which can take hours to run but generally
doesn't require downtime) to be completed first.
This portion of the migration will require the server to be completely
down for a brief period; for chat.zulip.org with 250M UserMessage
rows, it took about 60s to run; that time will vary depending on
hardware details like whether the server has an SSD, but fundamentally
shouldn't be long.
Our upgrade-zulip and upgrade-zulip-from-git tools can apply this
migration correctly; nothing special needs to be done.
Fixes#13040.
Sphinx/ReadTheDocs supports automatically translating links written as
to `.md` files to point to the corresponding `.html` files, so this
migration does not change the resulting HTML output in ReadTheDocs.
But it does fix apparent broken links on GitHub.
This doesn't prevent people from reading the documentation on GitHub
(so doesn't mitigate the fact that some rtd-specific syntax does not
render properly on GH), but it will prevent us from getting erroneous
issues reported about the hyperlinks not working.
Fixes: #11087.
Visually, #zoom_help_text acts like
.organization-settings-parent div:first-of-type when the Zoom option
is selected, but isn't treated as such.
No visual change with the #google_hangouts_domain change; just there to make
the code more readable/defensible.
Due to copyright issues with potentially displaying Apple emojisets on
non-apple devices, as well as iamcal dropping support for the emojione
emojiset (see https://github.com/iamcal/emoji-data/pull/142), we are
dropping (perhaps temporarily) support for allowing users to switch
emojisets in Zulip.
This commit just hides the feature from the user but leaves most of
the infrastructure in place so that in the future if we decide to
re-enable the support we will not need to redo the infrastructure work
(some JS-side code is deleted, mostly because we'll want to re-add the
feature using the do_settings_change infrastructure anyway).
The most likely emoji set to add is the legacy "blobs" Google emoji
set, since it seems popular with some users.
Tweaked by tabbott to remove some additional JS code and update the
changelog.
The is_private flag is intended to be set if recipient type is
'private'(1) or 'huddle'(3), otherwise i.e if it is 'stream'(2), it
should be unset.
This commit adds a database index for the is_private flag (which we'll
need to use it). That index is used to reset the flag if it was
already set. The already set flags were due to a previous removal of
is_me_message flag for which the values were not cleared out.
For now, the is_private flag is always 0 since the really hard part of
this migration is clearing the unspecified previous state; future
commits will fully implement it actually doing something.
History: Migration rewritten significantly by tabbott to ensure it
runs in only 3 minutes on chat.zulip.org. A key detail in making that
work was to ensure that we use the new index for the queries to find
rows to update (which currently requires the `order_by` and `limit`
clauses).
This adds a new settings, SOCIAL_AUTH_SUBDOMAIN, which specifies which
domain should be used for GitHub auth and other python-social-auth
backends.
If one is running a single-realm Zulip server like chat.zulip.org, one
doesn't need to use this setting, but for multi-realm servers using
social auth, this fixes an annoying bug where the session cookie that
python-social-auth sets early in the auth process on the root domain
ends up masking the session cookie that would have been used to
determine a user is logged in. The end result was that logging in
with GitHub on one domain on a multi-realm server like zulipchat.com
would appear to log you out from all the others!
We fix this by moving python-social-auth to a separate subdomain.
Fixes: #9847.
These aren't perfect -- in particular "core chat experience" can
probably be broken up -- but I think they help in making a quick skim
work for getting some sense of what the changes are.
This change just reorders and adds headings, with virtually no wording
changes.
This commit helps reduce clutter on the navigation sidebar.
Creates new directories and moves relevant files into them.
Modifies index.rst, symlinks, and image paths accordingly.
This commit also enables expandable/collapsible navigation items,
renames files in docs/development and docs/production,
modifies /tools/test-documentation so that it overrides a theme setting,
Also updates links to other docs, file paths in the codebase that point
to developer documents, and files that should be excluded from lint tests.
Note that this commit does not update direct links to
zulip.readthedocs.io in the codebase; those will be resolved in an
upcoming follow-up commit (it'll be easier to verify all the links
once this is merged and ReadTheDocs is updated).
Fixes#5265.
