We add a new wildcard_mention_policy setting to handle wildcard
mentions in large streams, with a wide range of policies available to
organizations.
We set the default to the safe option for preventing accidental spam:
only stream administrators being able to use wildcard mentions in
large streams.
This reverts commit 5275d49f05
(effectively), which created more problems than it solves. #8484 is
not a bug: a newline can be included literally with no escaping within
POSIX quotes. Meanwhile, $"" is a bashism, and not even the correct
bashism: it translates strings using the LC_MESSAGES catalog. If the
user wants to do something complicated, they can consult the
documentation for their shell.

Any exception is an "unexpected event", which means talking about
having an "unexpected event logger" or "unexpected event exception" is
confusing. As the error message in `exceptions.py` already explains,
this is about an _unsupported_ event type.
This also switches the path that these exceptions are written to,
accordingly.
8e10ab282a moved UnexpectedWebhookEventType into
`zerver.lib.exceptions`, but left the import into
`zserver.lib.webhooks.common` so that webhooks could continue to
import the exception from there.
This clutters things and adds complexity; there is no compelling
reason that the exception's source of truth should not move alongside
all other exceptions.
This commit fixes examples in "400" response for deactivating user
endpoints to have msg as "Cannot deactivate the last organization
owner" instead of "Cannot deactivate the last organization
administrator".
We had already removed the restriction on deactivating last admin
and added it for last owner, while adding owner role.
Improve OpenAPI documentation of /zulip-outgoing-webhook by moving
data and making appropriate additions from its couterpart in the
/outgoing-webhook docs. Then remove the redundant documentation
from the doc and add command to render OpenAPI documetation. Also
add a test to outgoing_webhooks_interface.py to ensure that OpenAPI
documentation is correct.
Fixes#16203.
This renames 'group_id' to 'user_group_id' in the api docs to remove
the naming mismatch between the url config and the docs and eventually
remove the 'user_groups' endpoints from 'pending_endpoints' in
test_openapi.py.
`update_message_flags` events used `operation` instead of `op`, the
latter being the standard field used in other events. So add `op`
field to `update_message_flags` and mark `operation` as deprecated,
so that it can be removed later.
For most cases you don't need to override `get_body`,
and for non-trivial cases, there's really no set pattern.
(It would be nice if we didn't default to json extensions
and just forced folks to be explicit about file extensions,
which would remove a whole class of `get_body` overrides.)
Not all webhook payloads are json, so send_json_payload was a
bit misleading.
In passing I also remove "bytes" from the Union type for
"payload" parameter.
Almost all webhook tests use this helper, except a few
webhooks that write to private streams.
Being concise is important here, and the name
`self.send_and_test_stream_message` always confused
me, since it sounds you're sending a stream message,
and it leaves out the webhook piece.
We should consider renaming `send_and_test_private_message`
to something like `check_webhook_private`, but I couldn't
decide on a great name, and it's very rarely used. So
for now I just made sure the docstrings of the two
sibling functions reference each other.
This commit adds "role" field to the Subscription objects passed to
clients. This is important preparation for being able to work on the
frontend for this feature.
This adds 'user_id' to the simple success response for 'POST /users'
api endpoint, to make it convenient for API clients to get details
about users they just created. Appropriate changes have been made in
the docs and test_users.py.
Fixes#16072.
The comments within update_message_backend function of views/message_edit.py
indicates 4 types of permissions which all edit a message. The 4th of these
indicates that a message is editable if the realm allows topic edits. This
was previously missing from the docs and is now added.
When you post to /json/users, we no longer
require or look at the short_name parameter,
since we don't use it in any meaningful way.
An upcoming commit will eliminate it from the
database.
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.

There is still some miscellaneous cleanup that
has to happen for things like analytics queries
and dead code in node tests, but this should
remove the main use of pointers in the backend.
(We will also still need to drop the DB field.)
We send user_id of the referrer instead of email in the invites dict.
Sending user_ids is more robust, as those are an immutable reference
to a user, rather than something that can change with time.
Updates to the webapp UI to display the inviters for more convenient
inspection will come in a future commit.
Change variable `name` to `date_sent` as `name` actually stores
the date sent. Also change the data types of `name` and `create_time`
to integer. As they actually have empty decimal value.
* Reordered the settings relevant without stream creation to the top.
* Removed useless/misleading defaults for optional parameters.
* Clarified description of the announce and authorization_errors_fatal settings.
* Clarified that `invite_only` only applies for stream creation.
(It's annoying to do so for its friends because they are including
common description content and OpenAPI doesn't have a way to have
extra content in a place you included something)
Fixes#14705.
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.
