Previously we would update FillState for daily stats on hourly boundaries as
well. This would create two extra queries on the FillState table every hour
(for each CountStat), which adds roughly 50ms of extra processing for each
CountStat each day, as well as two extra lines each hour in the analytics
log. This can be a minor annoyance when backfilling stats.
We now auto-open the compose box whenever somebody narrows to
a "pure" PM narrow. We already did this for buddy list clicks,
so this make it work the same for other ways of narrowing to
PM conversation. Here, we optimize for composing, vs. reading,
since PM conversations tend to have lots of back and forth.
(Contrast this to stream conversations, where there's a higher
likelihood of lurking or doing a quick narrow to re-read some
message from the stream.)
We don't want to auto-open the compose box for topic
sidebar clicks, because we want to convenience folks
reading messages, not writing messages, since on
stream narrows, people tend to do much more reading
than writing. (Also, opening the compose box explicitly
is super easy.)
The part of this change that affects behavior is that
we remove the call to compose_actions.start('stream').
Then the simplification is that we replace the checks
to narrowed_by_reply() and !narrowed_to_topic() with
a single call to narrowed_by_pm_reply().
Fixes#3886.
Moved error handling to the beginning of the update_realm
function. Removed several if statements and replaced them with
a block of code that loops through realm properties and updates
them if an update has been sent through the request. Also
created an 'exclude' list for realm properties that do not fit
into the general pattern that most other realm properties
follow for updating. Those properties are handled separately.
Some comments added by tabbott.
Addresses part of issue #3854.
This commit makes sure that GitHubAuthBackend will only authenticate
using its own authenticate method. This is done by adding a new
Python Social Auth strategy which instead of calling authenticate
method of Django, calls the authenticate of the backend directly.
The problem this commit solves is that while authenticating through
GitHub backend, we were ending up getting authenticated through
ZulipDummyBackend. This might happen because the default strategy used
by Python Social Auth calls the authenticate method of Django which
iterates over all the backends and tries the authenticate methods
which match with the function arguments. The new strategy this commit
adds calls the authenticate method of GitHub backend directly which
makes sense because we already know that we want to authenticate with
GithHub.
The actual problem of why we are ending up on ZulipDummyBackend is
still a mystery because the function arguments passed to its
authenticate method are different. It shouldn't be called.
We now wait to load Organization sections until you
click on the section (or virtually click by using arrow
keys).
Some of the sections are coupled in terms of their setup,
so some sections will already be loaded if you had clicked
on a related section.
Previously, if you have a branch with a new migration,
and you rebase onto master past someone else's migration,
you have to manually renumber your migration.
Add a script that automatically renumbers the migrations.
Fix#4257.
Earlier, a stack was being used to go through the message and search
for links. Because of this, in some cases the images were added to
the preview in reverse. Using a queue will keep the image previews in
the same order as they appeared in the message.
Fixes#4453.
After Iago changed his email, you would see strings like
"You and Iago, Cordelia," which was a consequence of looking up
Iago's full name using his old email. Now we use user ids
internally for the lookup.
We now call people.pm_reply_user_string to populate
message.to_user_ids. The old way of computing this used emails
instead of user ids, so if an email wasn't known, you'd get a
warning.
