This new endpoint returns a 'user' dictionary which, as of now,
contains a single key 'is_subscribed' with a boolean value that
represents whether the user with the given 'user_id' is subscribed
to the stream with the given 'stream_id'.
Fixes#14966.
The only clients that should use the typing
indicators endpoint are our internal clients,
and they should send a JSON-formatted list
of user_ids.
We now enforce this, which removes some
complexity surrounding legacy ways of sending
users, such as emails and comma-delimited
strings of user_ids.
There may be a very tiny number of mobile
clients that still use the old emails API.
This won't have any user-facing effect on
the mobile users themselves, but if you type
a message to your friend on an old mobile
app, the friend will no longer see typing
indicators.
Also, the mobile team may see some errors
in their Sentry logs from the server rejecting
posts from the old mobile clients.
The error messages we report here are a bit
more generic, since we now just use REQ
to do validation with this code:
validator=check_list(check_int)
This also allows us to remove a test hack
related to the API documentation. (We changed
the docs to reflect the modern API in an
earlier commit, but the tests couldn't be
fixed while we still had the more complex
semantics for the "to" parameter.)
This commit removes short_name and client_id fields from the user
objects returned by get_profile_backend because neither of them
had a purpose.
* short_name hasn't been present anywhere else in the Zulip API for
several years, and isn't set through any coherent algorithm.
* client_id was a forgotten 2013-era predecessor to the queue_id field
returned by the register_event_queue process.
The combination of these changes gets us close to having `get_profile`
have the exact same format as other endpoints fetching a user object.
Option to disable breadcrumb messages were given in both message edit
form and topic edit stream popover.
User now has the option to select which stream to send the notification
of stream edit of a topic via checkboxes in the UI.
This reimplements our Zoom video call integration to use an OAuth
application. In addition to providing a cleaner setup experience,
especially on zulipchat.com where the server administrators can have
done the app registration already, it also fixes the limitation of the
previous integration that it could only have one call active at a time
when set up with typical Zoom API keys.
Fixes#11672.

Some UTF-8 characters (★ for example) are not displayed correctly, with
fonts-liberation. Puppeteer recommends[1] installing fonts-freefont-ttf in
their docs on running Puppeteer in docker.
Provisioning forward is sufficient. There's no need to remove the
new font and replace it with the old font, I think.

There's no reason to send data beyond the user `id` of the uploader,
and reason not to, as the previous model was both awkward when
`author=None` and resulted in unecessary parsing complexity for
clients.
Modified by tabbott to add the frontend changes and API documentation.
Fixes#15115.
When a user changes its avatar image, the user's avatar in popovers
wasn't being correctly updated, because of browser caching of the
avatar image. We added a version on the request to get the image in
the same format we use elsewhere, so the browser knows when to use the
cached image or to make a new request to the server.
Edited by Tim to preserve/fix sort orders in some tests, and update
zulip_feature_level.
Fixes: #14290
We remove the `owner` field from `page_params/realm_bots`
and bot-related events.
In the recent commit 155f6da8ba
we added `owner_id`, which we now use everywhere we need
bot owners for.
We also bump the `API_FEATURE_LEVEL` to 5 here. We
had already documented this in the prior commit to
add `owner_id`.
Note that we don't have to worry about mobile/ZT clients
here--we only deal with bot data in the webapp.
Popular email clients like Gmail will automatically linkify link-like
content present in an HTML email they receive, even if it doesn't have
links in it. This made it possible to include what in Gmail will be a
user-controlled link in invitation emails that Zulip sends, which a
spammer/phisher could try to take advantage of to send really bad spam
(the limitation of having the rest of the invitation email HTML there
makes it hard to do something compelling here).
We close this opportunity by structuring our emails to always show the
user's name inside an existing link, so that Gmail won't do new
linkification, and add a test to help ensure we don't remove this
structure in a future design change.

The major PROVISION_VERSION bump would not be needed, but it was

I imagine this can be improved in various ways, but I've initialized
this with all the **Changes** entries recorded in either zulip.yaml or
the rest of the API documentation, and I expect we'll be able to
iterate on this effectively.
It'll also be useful as a record of changes that we should remember to
document the API documentation as we document more endpoints that
currently don't discuss these issues.
While working on this, I fixed various issues where feature levels
could be mentioned or endpoints didn't properly document changes.
Includes this change:
* openapi/python_examples: Update get_single_user.
This updates get_single_user to pass keyword arguments to
get_user_by_id instead of passing a dictionary.
Which is required for CI to pass, as we indeed fixed the API of that
function (which had only been present with the wrong API for one release).
We have two different digest schemes to make
sure we keep the database up to date. There
is the migration digest, which is NOT in the
scope of this commit, and which already
used the mechanism we use for other tools.
Here we are talking about the digest for
important files like `populate_db.py`.
Now our scheme is more consistent with how we
check file changes for other tools (as
well as the aformentioned migration files).
And we only write one hash file, instead of
seven.
And we only write the file when things have
actually changed.
And we are explicit about side effects.
Finally, we include a couple new bot settings
in the digest:
INTERNAL_BOTS
DISABLED_REALM_INTERNAL_BOTS
NOTE: This will require a one-time transition,
where we rebuild both databases (dev/test).
It takes a little over two minutes for me,
so it's not super painful.
I bump the provision version here, even
though you don't technically need it (since
the relevant tools are actually using the
digest files to determine if they need to
rebuild the database). I figure it's just
good to explicitly make this commit trigger
a provision, and the user will then see
the one-time migration of the hash files
with a little bit less of a surprise.
And I do a major bump, not a minor bump,
because when we go in the reverse direction,
the old code will have to rebuild the
database due to the legacy hash files not
being around, so, again, I just prefer it
to be explicit.
Upgrade libthumbor in main zulip venv. This version drops support
for python 2 and runs on py>=3.6.
As such, it is our first commit taking advantage of our having dropped support
for Debian Stretch and Ubuntu Xenial, our previous Python 3.5-based platforms.
The purpose is to provide a way for (non-webapp) clients,
like the mobile and terminal apps, to tell whether the
server it's talking to is new enough to support a given
API feature -- in particular a way that
* is finer-grained than release numbers, so that for
features developed after e.g. 2.1.0 we can use them
immediately on servers deployed from master (like
chat.zulip.org and zulipchat.com) without waiting the
months until a 2.2 release;
* is reliable, unlike e.g. looking at the number of
commits since a release;
* doesn't lead to a growing bag of named feature flags
which the server has to go on sending forever.
Tweaked by tabbott to extend the documentation.

When creating a webhook integration or creating a new one, it is a pain to
create or update the screenshots in the documentation. This commit adds a
tool that can trigger a sample notification for the webhook using a fixture,
that is likely already written for the tests.
Currently, the developer needs to take a screenshot manually, but this could
be automated using puppeteer or something like that.
Also, the tool does not support webhooks with basic auth, and only supports
webhooks that use json fixtures. These can be fixed in subsequent commits.
Add sgrep (sgrep.dev) to tooling and include simple rule as
proof of concept. Included rule detects use of old django render
function.
Also added a rule that looks for if-else statements where both
code paths are identical.
This makes it relatively easy for a system administrator to
temporarily override these values after a desktop app security
release that they want to ensure all of their users take.
We're not putting this in settings, since we don't want to encourage
accidental long-term overrides of these important-to-security values.
python 3.8 support for python-api-bindings was fixed in commit
63bc9b8a4f
so upgraded python-api-bindings to tag 0.6.3 which included this fix.
Bumped PROVISION_VERSION.
importlib-metadata and importlib-resources are dependent packages for jsonschema
and cfn-lint respectively. They are built-in modules in later versions
of python (3.8, 3.7). When update-locked-requirements is run within python3.7 or
3.8 they will generate difference in locked files so we build these modules separately
to avoid such conflicts.
We now restrict emails on the zulip realm, and now
`email` and `delivery_email` will be different for
users.
This change should make it more likely to catch
errors where we leak delivery emails or use the
wrong field for lookups.
We had a bunch of ugly hacks to monkey patch things due to upstream
being temporarily unmaintained and not merging PRs. Now the project is
active again and the fixes have been merged and included in the latest
version - so we clean up all that code.
This gives them cache-compatible URLs, and also avoids some extra
copies of the sprite sheet images.

This commit changes the calculation of the
background-size parameter that we use to
render emojis from sprite sheets.
In particular, it now makes the parameter
match the sizes of our latest sprite
sheets from Twitter/Google.
This should fix the geometry aspect of #13959,
but we also need to fix some issues with the
cache being sticky.
There is also some minor cleanup:
- Remove obsolete -moz/-webkit CSS.
- Remove needless precision in percentages.
- Fix the transposed nrows/ncols names.
- Add extensive commenting.
Finally, we add a minor bump to the provision
number. This commit should be merged in the
same series as the other fix for this issue,
which will probably have a major bump, and we'll
need to rebase this appropriately.
Django 2.2.x is the next LTS release after Django 1.11.x; I expect
we'll be on it for a while, as Django 3.x won't have an LTS release
series out for a while.
Because of upstream API changes in Django, this commit includes
several changes beyond requirements and:
* urls: django.urls.resolvers.RegexURLPattern has been replaced by
django.urls.resolvers.URLPattern; affects OpenAPI code and related
features which re-parse Django's internals.
https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/28593
* test_runner: Change number to suffix. Django changed the name in this
ticket: https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/28578
* Delete now-unnecessary SameSite cookie code (it's now the default).
* forms: urlsafe_base64_encode returns string in Django 2.2.
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/ref/utils/#django.utils.http.urlsafe_base64_encode
* upload: Django's File.size property replaces _get_size().
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/_modules/django/core/files/base/
* process_queue: Migrate to new autoreload API.
* test_messages: Add an extra query caused by .refresh_from_db() losing
the .select_related() on the Realm object.
* session: Sync SessionHostDomainMiddleware with Django 2.2.
There's a lot more we can do to take advantage of the new release;
this is tracked in #11341.

The alt text of the leading images were displayed as preview
content in inbox by email clients like gmail. Since the leading
images were used mostly for decoration this made the preview
content gibberish. It's fine to set the alt attributes to empty
from accessibility point of view since the old alt attributes
did't added any meaningful information.
responses is an module analogous to httpretty for mocking external
URLs, with a very similar interface (potentially cleaner in that it
makes use of context managers).
The most important (in the moment) problem with httpretty is that it
breaks the ability to use redis in parts of code where httpretty is
enabled. From more research, the module in general has tendency to
have various troublesome bugs with breaking URLs that it shouldn't be
affecting, caused by it working at the socket interface layer. While
those issues could be fixed, responses seems to be less buggy (based
on both third-party reports like ckan/ckan#4755 and our own experience
in removing workarounds for bugs in httpretty) and is more actively
maintained.
Zulip has had a small use of WebSockets (specifically, for the code
path of sending messages, via the webapp only) since ~2013. We
originally added this use of WebSockets in the hope that the latency
benefits of doing so would allow us to avoid implementing a markdown
local echo; they were not. Further, HTTP/2 may have eliminated the
latency difference we hoped to exploit by using WebSockets in any
case.
While we’d originally imagined using WebSockets for other endpoints,
there was never a good justification for moving more components to the
WebSockets system.
This WebSockets code path had a lot of downsides/complexity,
including:
* The messy hack involving constructing an emulated request object to
hook into doing Django requests.
* The `message_senders` queue processor system, which increases RAM
needs and must be provisioned independently from the rest of the
server).
* A duplicate check_send_receive_time Nagios test specific to
WebSockets.
* The requirement for users to have their firewalls/NATs allow
WebSocket connections, and a setting to disable them for networks
where WebSockets don’t work.
* Dependencies on the SockJS family of libraries, which has at times
been poorly maintained, and periodically throws random JavaScript
exceptions in our production environments without a deep enough
traceback to effectively investigate.
* A total of about 1600 lines of our code related to the feature.
* Increased load on the Tornado system, especially around a Zulip
server restart, and especially for large installations like
zulipchat.com, resulting in extra delay before messages can be sent
again.
As detailed in
https://github.com/zulip/zulip/pull/12862#issuecomment-536152397, it
appears that removing WebSockets moderately increases the time it
takes for the `send_message` API query to return from the server, but
does not significantly change the time between when a message is sent
and when it is received by clients. We don’t understand the reason
for that change (suggesting the possibility of a measurement error),
and even if it is a real change, we consider that potential small
latency regression to be acceptable.
If we later want WebSockets, we’ll likely want to just use Django
Channels.

Since we don’t support downgrading from master to any 2.0.x release,
we shouldn’t set a ZULIP_VERSION that might lead someone to mistake
any such downgrade for an upgrade. ZULIP_VERSION should always be at
least a minor version ahead of LATEST_RELEASE_VERSION, except on the
release branch.
`.dev` is a decreasing suffix that sorts before `alpha`, `beta`, `rc`
according to PEP 440/`packaging.version.Version`.

For a long time, we've been only doing the zxcvbn password strength
checks on the browser, which is helpful, but means users could through
hackery (or a bug in the frontend validation code) manage to set a
too-weak password. We fix this by running our password strength
validation on the backend as well, using python-zxcvbn.
In theory, a bug in python-zxcvbn could result in it producing a
different opinion than the frontend version; if so, it'd be a pretty
bad bug in the library, and hopefully we'd hear about it from users,
report upstream, and get it fixed that way. Alternatively, we can
switch to shelling out to node like we do for KaTeX.
