We have a very useful piece of code, _RateLimitFilter, which is
designed to avoid sending us a billion error emails in the event that
a Zulip production server is down in a way that throws the same
exception a lot. The code uses memcached to ensure we send each
traceback roughly once per Zulip server per 10 minutes (or if
memcached is unavailable, at most 1/process/10 minutes, since we use
memcached to coordinate between processes)
However, if memcached is down, there is a logging.error call internal
to the Django/memcached setup that happens inside the cache.set() call,
and those aren't caught by the `except Exception` block around it.
This ends up resulting in infinite recursion, eventually leading to
Fatal Python error: Cannot recover from stack overflow., since this
handler is configured to run for logging.error in addition to
logging.exception.
We fix this using a thread-local variable to detect whether we are
being called recursively.
This change should prevent some nasty failure modes we've had in the
past where memcached being down resulted in infinite recursion
(resulting in extra resources being consumed by our error
notifications code, and most importantly, the error notifications not
being sent).
Fixes#12595.
Otherwise Bootstrap doesn’t get minified, and also the minification
state is incorrectly reflected in the webpack cache.
The Terser plugin is used by default; we need to include it explicitly
to avoid removing it.
Switch from cssnano to clean-css because it’s noticeably faster.

There's no reason for this to be a category of error that emails the
server administrator, since there's a good chance that fixing it will
need to be done in the Zulip codebase, not administrator action.
cssnano reduces this to a constant in a production build. (We could
add postcss-calc if we wanted this reduced in development.)

Fixes#9401.
This adds a FAKE_EMAIL_DOMAIN setting, which should be used if
EXTERNAL_HOST is not a valid domain, and something else is needed to
form bot and dummy user emails (if email visibility is turned off).
It defaults to EXTERNAL_HOST.
get_fake_email_domain() should be used to get this value. It validates
that it's correctly set - that it can be used to form valid emails.
If it's not set correctly, an exception is raised. This is the right
approach, because it's undesirable to have the server seemingly
peacefully operating with that setting misconfigured, as that could
mask some hidden sneaky bugs due to UserProfiles with invalid emails,
which would blow up the moment some code that does validate the emails
is called.
Many of them are now automatically generated by autoprefixer, while
others are unnecessary based on .browserslistrc, and some were just
wrong (the linear-gradient based checkerboard pattern in lightbox has

Apparently, due to poor naming of the outer capture group we use to
separate the actual match from the surrounding whitespace (etc.) we
use to determine if the syntax is a possible linkifier start/end, if
you created a linkifier using "name" as the capture group, we'd try to
compile a pattern with two capture groups called "name", which would

It’s about as fast as node-sass (faster, according to their
benchmarks) and more flexible. Autoprefixer is neat: we can now go
delete all our -moz-, -webkit-, etc. lines and have them autogenerated
as necessary based on .browserslistrc.

We no longer use tsearch_extras, and the camo patch is irrelevant on
systemd systems (Xenial and newer). So we no longer need to

There was a bug where the success banner stuck
around even after the export completed. We now
nicely fade and remove the banner upon a successful
population of the export in the table.
Fixes: #13045
02cfb47 removed a couple HTML tags that were
being used to sort the table. We fix this,
but disable filtering exports by marking the
input type as `hidden`. We use this approach as
it seems `list_render` doesn't like an
undefined `opts.filter.element`, which is
what happens if we simply remove the `filter`
key.
Follow up of commit 2a1305d. Replace all local variables named 'msgid'

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.
As part of adding support for more than 2B UserMessage rows in a Zulip
server, we need to change UserMessage.id (a field we don't access but
is needed by Django) from an int to a bigint. This commit is a series
of migrations which create a `bigint_id` column and populates it correctly.
This migration will take a long time to run; on chat.zulip.org (a
server with a lot of history), it took about 4 hours to complete.
How to migrate with minimal downtime:
1. Run `upgrade-zulip-from-git` through this commit. It will install
migration 0238 and then more or less hang while applying migration
0239. Once migration 0238 is completed, however, your server should
be able to be started back up safely while migration 0239 is running.
2. Run `/home/zulip/deployments/next/scripts/restart-server` in a
separate terminal to get Zulip running again.
3. When the `upgrade-zulip-from-git` command finishes, it will
automatically re-restart the Zulip server, leaving you in a consistent
state and ready to do part 2 of the migration.
A useful `manage.py shell` query for checking the state after this
commit is consistent is this:
assert UserMessage.objects.exclude(bigint_id=F("id")).count() == 0
Part of #13040.
Previously, several of our URL patterns accidentally did not end with
`$`, and thus ended up controlling just the stated URL, but actually a
much broader set of URLs starting with it.
I did an audit and fixed what I believe are all instances of this URL
pattern behavior. In the process, I fixed a few tests that were
unintentionally relying on the behavior.
Fixes#13082.
In bf14a0af4, we refactored the Google authentication system to use
the same code as GitHub auth, but neglected to provide a
backwards-compatible URL available for use by older versions of the
mobile apps.

Historically, Zulip's implementation of wildcard mentions never
triggered either email or push notifications, instead being limited to
desktop notifications and the "mentions" counter.
We fix this just by plumbing the "wildcard_mentioned" flag through our
system.
Implements much of
https://github.com/zulip/zulip/issues/6040#issuecomment-510157264.
We're also now ready to seriously work on #3750.
As predicted in https://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/319816/, a malicious
worm is beginning to spread across the npm ecosystem through package
postinstall scripts. Only instead of direct self-replicating code,
the replication vector is the temptation to monetize postinstall
scripts by polluting the console logs with paid advertisements. The
effect will be the same unless we all put a stop to this while we
still can.
Apply the recommended VU#319816 workaround, which is to disable
lifecycle scripts when installing npm packages. The only fallout is:
* node-sass can’t run because it uses compiled native code; we replace
it with Dart Sass.
* phantomjs-prebuilt doesn’t download the binary at install time; we
tell it to download it in run-casper.
* ttf2woff2 transparently falls back from native code to an Emscripten
build.
