The authenticate_by_username limit of 5 attempts per 30 minutes can get
annoying in some cases where the user really forgot their password and
should be allowed to keep trying with admin approvial - so we should
document the command that allows unblocking them.
Changes all the uses of the word "operators" to "filters" in
contributor docs, help center, and landing page to align with
the updated help center documentation.
Moves files in `templates/zerver/help/include` that are used
specifically for API documentation pages to be in a new directory:
`templates/zerver/api/include`.
Adds a boolean parameter to `render_markdown_path` to be used
for help center documentation articles.
Also moves the test file `empty.md` to the new directory since
this is the default directory for these special include macros
that are used in documentation pages.
Moves files in `templates/zerver/help/include` that are used
specifically for integrations documentation to be in a new
directory: `templates/zerver/integrations/include`.
Adds a boolean parameter to `render_markdown_path` to be used
for integrations documentation pages.
The documentation included the full policy for the file uploads
bucket, but only one additional statement for the avatars bucket; the
reader needed to assemble the full policy themselves.
Switch to explicitly providing the full policy for both.
Fixes#23110.
Fixes#23517.
While this feature was added to Zulip very early, it has been troubled
for most of that time; it never looked great visually, had a lot of
implementation complexity around resize.js, and has a weird model (a
setting that changes the UI only in certain window sizes).
This option is not commonly used; while a significant portion of users
have it enabled, many of them just don't use window sizes where it
actually has an effect. So it's not clear that it will be missed if
removed; we got very few bug reports when it was completely broken for
a few days after we first integrated the new left sidebar private
messages design.
Even with it no longer being broken, it does not work very well with
the addition of the new PMs section in the left sidebar. (Having two
scrollbars in the sidebar looks quite awkward.) The new private
messages section in the left sidebar also addresses some of the use
cases for always keeping the Users list always visible, even in narrow
windows.
This option is only removed from frontend for now. To make this
decision easily reversible, the backend code of this feature
is still kept.
Since this is being moved to admin-facing documentation, also adds a
paragraph about the main concern with enabling this on a server that's
not zulip.com.
Inspired by #23377. We document a convention maneuver to avoid adding
noop migrations, which involves modifying the latest migration related
to the fields in question.

Updates the current 6.0 release notes to include information about
the rename to "Recent conversations", and updates past references
to "recent topics" to be consistently formatted as "Recent topics".
Replaces instances of "recent topics" in the web-app and documentation
to be "recent conversations".
Renames both `recent-topics.md` files in the help center to be
`recent-conversations.md` and updates/redirects links to new URL.
Does not update instances of "recent topics" in frontend code comments
and does not update the main overview changelog, for now.
Does not change case study text where "recent topics" was referenced
in a quote, but does change generic text references to be "recent
conversations".
This adds a helper based on testing patterns of using the "queries_captured"
context manager with "assert_length" to check the number of queries
executed for preventing performance regression.
It explains the rationale of checking the query count through an
"AssertionError" and prints the queries captured as assert_length does,
but with a format optimized for displaying the queries in a more
readable manner.

Previously, we included all three message edit related settings
("allow_message_editing", "message_content_edit_limit_seconds" and
"edit_topic_policy") in the event data and api response irrespective
of which of these settings were changed. Now, we only include changed
settings and separate events are sent for each setting if more than
one of them is changed.
Note that the previous typed in event_schema.py for
`message_content_edit_limit_seconds` incorrectly did not allow `None`
as a value, which is used to encode no limit.
* Make an "Outreach programs" documentation directory.
* Revamp doc on having an amazing outreach program experience.
* Extract an outreach programs overview page from GSoC guide.
* Add a guide on making PRs easy to review, extracted from
"How to have an amazing summer with Zulip".
* Create a guide for mentors, extracted from "How to have an amazing
summer with Zulip".
* Add a guide on how to ask great questions extracted from GSoC guide.
* Extract general page on applying to outreach programs from GSoC guide.
* Simplify GSoC guide page to just describe project ideas.
* Many local edits to the reorganized content.
Renames the filename so that it accurately reflects its contents
given the changes to the "Recommended setup" page in the previous
commit, and updates all links accordingly.
Windows users end up having to follow an odd chain of links because
the recommended installation instructions live on a different
page than the rest of the instructions about the environment setup.
All the tutorials about recommended install prerequisites for each
platform should be on the same page.
This moves the section about using WSL 2 from the advanced setup page
to the recommended environment setup tutorial page.
Renames sidebar and section titles to more accurately reflect the
information in the Recommended setup vs. the Advanced setup page.
Updates relevant text and links accordingly.
Fixes: #13696.
Updates the tutorial in "Writing help center articles: Writing
style" for using `<kbd>` HTML elements when documenting keyboard
shortcuts in help center articles.
Also, adds section about the keyboard tip macro/syntax.
We create "event-filter-instruction.md" and add it to
"create-bot-construct-url.md". This allows the user to keep track of the
supported event types for most of the integrations that implement this
feature. Note that not all integrations use "create-bot-construct-url.md".
We also need to rename "function" to "view_function" to make this change
type-check.
This is relevant to #18392.

This commit brings AzureAD config in line with other backends:
- SOCIAL_AUTH_AZUREAD_OAUTH2_SECRET gets fetched in computed_settings.py
instead of default_settings, consistent with github/gitlab/etc.
- SOCIAL_AUTH_AZUREAD_OAUTH2_KEY gets fetched in default_settings via
get_secret(..., development_only=True) like other social backends, to
allow easier set up in dev environment, in the dev-secrets.conf file.
- The secret gets renamed from azure_oauth2_secret to
social_auth_azuread_oauth2_secret to have a consistent naming scheme with
other social backends and with the SOCIAL_AUTH_AZUREAD_OAUTH2_KEY
name. This is backwards-incompatible.
The instructions for setting it up are updated to fit how this is
currently done in AzureAD.
Creates `zerver.lib.url_redirects.py` to record old and new URLs
for documentation pages that have been renamed/moved and need URL
redirects.
This file is then used by `zproject.urls.py` to redirect links and
by `zerver.test.test_urls.py` to test that all of the old URLs
return a success response with a common page header/text depending
on the type of redirect (help center, policy, or API).
Adds a section to contributor docs on writing documentation for
how to use this redirect system when renaming a help center or api
documentation page.
Fixes#21946. Fixes#17897.
We should rearrange Zulip's developer docs to make it easier to
find the documentation that new contributors need.
Name changes
Rename "Code contribution guide" section -> "Contributing to Zulip".
Rename "Contributing to Zulip" page -> "Contributing guide".
Organizational changes to the newly-named "Contributing to Zulip":
Move up "Contributing to Zulip", as the third link in sidebar index.
Move up renamed "Contributing guide" page to the top of this section.
Move up "Zulip code of Conduct", as the second link of this section.
Move down "Licensing", as the last link of this section.
Move "Accessibility" just below "HTML and CSS" in Subsystems section.
Update all links according to the changes above.
Redirects should be added as needed.
Fixes: #22517.
This module was originally introduced in 2016 to assist adding mypy
annotations to the project. Back then static type checking was not that
established throughout the codebase, so it was helpful to be able to
print out the types for type checking purposes.
This workflow is no longer helpful for improving type annotations right
now, and it has been unused for a while.

This is not a feature intended to be used outside zulip.com, since it
just sets your server to have the zulip.com landing pages. I think
it's only been turned on by people who were confused by this text.
We'll be merging a lot more features for the 6.0 release, but this
should cover everything merged since 5.0 and not backported to 5.x
and thus already released.
distutils is deprecated in Python 3.10 and will be removed in Python
3.12. We don’t need a full-powered version parser for this anyway.

Adds a section for writing and style guidlines to the tutorial
for writing help center articles. Moves the sections on 'Voice'
and 'User interface' to be in the new section, and adds a section
on 'Keyboard shortcuts'.
The default value in uwsgi is 4k; receiving more than this amount from
nginx leads to a 502 response (though, happily, the backend uwsgi does not
terminate).
ab18dbfde5 originally increased it from the unstated uwsgi default
of 4096, to 8192; b1da797955 made it configurable, in order to allow
requests from clients with many cookies, without causing 502's[1].
nginx defaults to a limitation of 1k, with 4 additional 8k header
lines allowed[2]; any request larger than that returns a response of
`400 Request Header Or Cookie Too Large`. The largest header size
theoretically possible from nginx, by default, is thus 33k, though
that would require packing four separate headers to exactly 8k each.
Remove the gap between nginx's limit and uwsgi's, which could trigger
502s, by removing the uwsgi configurability, and setting a 64k size in
uwsgi (the max allowable), which is larger than nginx's default limit.
uWSGI's documentation of `buffer-size` ([3], [4]) also notes that "It
is a security measure too, so adapt to your app needs instead of
maxing it out." Python has no security issues with buffers of 64k,
and there is no appreciable memory footprint difference to having a
larger buffer available in uwsgi.

The content in `zulip-config.md` was moved (in #22315) to
`change-zulip-config.file.md`. This removes the now out-of-date
reference to this macro in the documentation for writing
integrations and removes the file as it is no longer in use.
