Previously, we had some expensive-to-calculate keys in
zulip_default_context, especially around enabled authentication
backends, which in total were a significant contributor to the
performance of various logged-out pages. Now, these keys are only
computed for the login/registration pages where they are needed.
This is a moderate performance optimization for the loading time of
many logged-out pages.
Closes#11929.
The night logo synchronization on the settings page was perfect, but
the actual display logic had a few problems:
* We were including the realm_logo in context_processors, even though
it is only used in home.py.
* We used different variable names for the templating in navbar.html
than anywhere else the codebase.
* The behavior that the night logo would default to the day logo if
only one was uploaded was not correctly implemented for the navbar
position, either in the synchronization for updates code or the
logic in the navbar.html templates.
Add all the stop words to page_params, reading from the
`zulip_english.stop` database, with caching to avoid loading the file
on every page load.
Part of #10592.
Since we have already added the `invite_as` field to models, we can now
replace usage of `invite_as_admin` properly with its equivalent `invite_as
== PreregistrationUser.INVITE_AS['REALM_ADMIN']`.
Hence, also removed now redundant `invite_as`.
If `TEXT_EMOJISET` is currently selected emojiset then fallback to
`GOOGLE_EMOJISET` for displaying emojis in emoji picker and
composebox typeahead. We should pre-load the spritesheets in`emoji.js`
even in case of text emojiset otherwise on slow networks emoji picker
will appear empty initially.
This setting isn't intended to exist long term, but instead to make it
possible to merge our search pills code before we're ready to cut over
production environments to use it.
We now have a simple algorithm: First, look at the URL path
(e.g. /de/, which is intended to be an override). Second, look at the
language the user has specified in their settings.
We haven't seen significant traffic from the legacy desktop app in
over a year, and users using it get a warning to upgrade since last
summer, so it's probably OK to stop providing special fonts for it.
The handlebars error message is just for the manual development
environment; this prevents the state of compiling handlebars templates
from run-dev.py from potentially causing the unit tests to fail.
This should make it easier to find the templates that are actually
part of the core webapp, instead of having them all mixed together
with the portico pages.
This bot was basically a duplicate of NOTIFICATION_BOT for some
specific corner cases, and didn't add much value. It's better to just
eliminate it, which also removes some ugly corner cases around what
happens if the user account doesn't exist.
This commit adds a setting to limit creation of generic bots
to admins for realms that want that restriction. (Generic
bots, apart from being considered spammy on some realms,
have less locked down permissions than webhook bots).
Fixes#7066.
This commit allows clients to register client_gravatar=True, and
then we recognize that flag for message events. If the flag is
True, we will not calculate gravatar URLs and let the clients do
it themselves. (Clients can calculate gravatar URLs based on
emails with just a little bit of code.)
Do you call get_recipient(Recipient.STREAM, stream_id) or
get_recipient(stream_id, Recipient.STREAM)? I could never
remember, and it was not very type safe, since both parameters
are integers.
These are just instances that jumped out at me while working on the
subdomains code, mostly while grepping for get_subdomain call sites.
I haven't attempted a comprehensive search, and there are likely
still others left.
In the UI we use locale as the code for the language. Django expects
language code. For Simplified Chinese, 'zh_Hans' is the locale which
maps to a directaory under static/locale, and 'zh-hans' is the language
code, which is used in settings.LANGUAGES setting found in Django.
The original "quality score" was invented purely for populating
our password-strength progress bar, and isn't expressed in terms
that are particularly meaningful. For configuration and the core
accept/reject logic, it's better to use units that are readily
understood. Switch to those.
I considered using "bits of entropy", defined loosely as the log
of this number, but both the zxcvbn paper and the linked CACM
article (which I recommend!) are written in terms of the number
of guesses. And reading (most of) those two papers made me
less happy about referring to "entropy" in our terminology.
I already knew that notion was a little fuzzy if looked at
too closely, and I gained a better appreciation of how it's
contributed to confusion in discussing password policies and
to adoption of perverse policies that favor "Password1!" over
"derived unusual ravioli raft". So, "guesses" it is.
And although the log is handy for some analysis purposes
(certainly for a graph like those in the zxcvbn paper), it adds
a layer of abstraction, and I think makes it harder to think
clearly about attacks, especially in the online setting. So
just use the actual number, and if someone wants to set a
gigantic value, they will have the pleasure of seeing just
how many digits are involved.
(Thanks to @YJDave for a prototype that the code changes in this
commit are based on.)
