This limit was introduced in c588c79 as a part of the
feature and not due to performance crisis. So we are
increasing this limit to 7 days. Since topics tends to
naturally fizzle after day or two so 7 days limit
would be good enough.
Fixes#1727.
With the server down, apply migrations 0245 and 0246. 0246 will remove
the pub_date column, so it's essential that the previous migrations
ran correctly to copy data before running this.
Apparently, our change in b8a1050fc4 to
stop caching responses on API endpoints accidentally ended up
affecting uploaded files as well.
Fix this by explicitly setting a Cache-Control header in our Sendfile
responses, as well as changing our outer API caching code to only set
the never cache headers if the view function didn't explicitly specify
them itself.
This is not directly related to #13088, as that is a similar issue
with the S3 backend.
Thanks to Gert Burger for the report.
Previously, we were hardcoding the domain s3.amazonaws.com. Given
that we already have an interface for configuring the host in
/etc/zulip/boto.cfg (which in turn, automatically configures boto), we
just need to actually use the value configured in boto for what S3
hostname to use.
We don't have tests for this new use case, in part because they're
likely annoying to write with `moto` and there hasn't been a huge
amount of demand for it. Since this doesn't regress existing S3
backend support, it seems worth merging.
This patches an issue in f37535044 where we mistakenly tried to send
the function as part of the page_params. Instead, we should just try
to send the list of configuration options (in their user displayable
form).
Apparently, the Zulip notifications (and resulting emails) were
correct, but the download links inside the Zulip UI were incorrectly
not including S3 prefix on the URL, making them not work.
While we're at this, we rewrite the somewhat convoluted previous
system for formatting the data export output.
This is also a useful preparatory refactor for having a user setting
controlling whether one's own email address is publicly available
within the organization.
We don't actually need to go to the memcached (falling back to the
database) to fetch either user or client objects on every event. For
user objects, we actually can just pass through the user ID
transparently; for client objects, we can use an in-process cache,
since the mapping of string to ID never changes.
This simple backwards-compatible change saves approximately 12% in the
compressed size of the chat.zulip.org page_params. We can do much,
much better by changing the format, but this seems like a good
intermediate step.

This sidesteps tricky escaping issues, and will make it easier to
build a strict Content-Security-Policy.

* Whitelist a small number of image/ types to be served as
non-attachments.
* Serve the file using the type that we validated rather than relying
on an independent guess to match.
This issue can lead to a stored XSS security vulnerability for older
browsers that don't support Content-Security-Policy.
It primarily affects servers using Zulip's local file uploads backend
for servers running Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial or newer; the legacy local
file upload backend for (now EOL) Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty was not affected
and it has limited impact for the S3 upload backend (which uses an
unprivileged S3 bucket domain to serve files).

This brings us in line, and also allows us to style these more like
unordered lists, which is visually more appealing.
On the backend, we now use the default list blockprocessor + sane list
extension of python-markdown to get proper list markup; on the
frontend, we mostly return to upstream's code as they have followed
CommonMark on this issue.
Using <ol> here necessarily removes the behaviour of not renumbering
on lists written like 3, 4, 7; hopefully users will be OK with the
change.
Fixes#12822.
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.
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.
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.
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
500, preventing anyone from accessing the organization.
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.
After a new user joins an active organization, it isn't obvious what
to do next; this change causes there to be recent unread messages in
the stream sidebar for the user to click on to get a feel for what's
happening in the organization and experiment with Zulip.
Fixes#6512.
This commit wraps up the major work that we held back when upgrading
py-markdown 2.6.11 to 3.0.1. Since we were making our custom changes
to the link syntax, at the time we stuck to using the old method of
parsing links. This lays the groundwork for further changes to our
link and image link handling, and brings us on par with upstream.
Also, we now better document the ways in which our link handling is
different from upstream.
Previously, the unread_msgs data structure accounting (used for both
the web and mobile apps to determine the "Unread mentions" count
displayed in the UI) did not include wildcard mentions at all.
We fix this by adding the logic required to include properly that
data, with tests. As discussed in #6040, it makes sense to include
muted streams and topics for the purpose of this calculation.
Fixes part of #6040.
Apparently, get_active_presence_idle_user_ids, which is carefully
optimized to only fetch data for users who might actually need
notification processing, was only considering PMs and direct mentions,
not wildcard mentions or alert words.
This caused some pretty weird failure modes when working on adding
support for broader mention notifications, because users who had one
of these types of notifications would be treated as never
presence-idle, which was just confusing.
This is part of adding support for notifications for wildcard mentions
and alert words; it's worth merging this as an early commit because
the consequence of not doing this are very difficult to debug.
Add ability to search entire message history of all public streams at
once. It includes all subscibed, non subscribed public streams messages
and even historical public stream messages sent before user had joined
an organization or stream.
Fixes#8859.
Send the config_options for each supported incoming webhook bot along
with the initial state (not present in apply_events since this is
mostly just static data).
Without disturbing the flow of the existing code for configuring
embedded bots too much, we now use the config_options feature to
allow incoming webhook type bot to be configured via. the "/bots"
endpoint of the API.
