Alex Vandiver 5ca15a36ba version: Update version and changelog after 7.3 release. 2023-08-25 18:21:10 +00:00
Lauryn Menard 29bb346480 typing: Update main typing notifications protocol documentation.
Updates the main description of the `api/set-typing-status` endpoint
for the new fields in the register response for the typing start,
stop, expired time intervals. Previously these were hardcoded by
the client side code and not the server side code.

Also updates the developer documentation for typing indicators in
the subsystems docs. This refreshes a few parts of that doc that
were already out of date, as well as adds the information about
the new register response fields noted above.

Greg Price bb6fe0385e docs: Consistently say "18 months" on compatibility, no specific version numbers.
Previously I've wanted to have this page spell out the concrete
version number that our clients support, rather than the policy we
use for determining that version number, because that's the sort of
question that I feel like as a user I'd want a straight answer to
and would be annoyed if I couldn't get one.

But as the text stands, it's come to look more like it's the policy
(something that's heavyweight to change) than like the value that
the policy currently happens to work out to.  Also, because this page
is kind of chaotically organized (and fixing that is a bigger yak
than I want to shave right now), it repeats the 18-month rule in
three separate places and the current value (version 4.0) is in
a fourth separate place, so it looks internally inconsistent.

Let's therefore take a different tack: like in those other three
spots on this page, state just the policy instead of the value it
currently works out to; but also add a link to help the reader
pin down for themselves what value that does work out to.

This also means we no longer need to update this page as old releases
age and that value advances.

Also fix a typo, and cut the reference to working degraded on
older releases.  Starting earlier this year we finally started
hard-refusing such connections:
  https://github.com/zulip/zulip-mobile/issues/5102
  https://github.com/zulip/zulip-mobile/pull/5633
(which was because there were some swathes of compatibility code
that we could only cut if we completely broke the handling of
ancient servers, and so we preferred to have the app communicate
that break clearly up front.)

provision: Add provision support for Fedora 38.
Tweaked provision script to run successfully in Fedora 38 and
included a script to build the groonga libs from source because
the packages in Fedora repos are outdated.

There is a major version jump from the last supported version (F34)
which is EOL so references and support for older versions were
removed.

Lauryn Menard 5e29e025c5 email-templates: Add zulip_onboarding_topics email templates.
The "followup_day2" email template name is not clear or descriptive
about the purpose of the email. Creates a duplicate of those email
template files with the template name "zulip_onboarding_topics".

Because any existing scheduled emails that use the "followup_day2"
templates will need to be updated before the current templates can
be removed, we don't do a simple file rename here.

Steve Howell 51db22c86c per-request caches: Add per_request_cache library.
We have historically cached two types of values
on a per-request basis inside of memory:

    * linkifiers
    * display recipients

Both of these caches were hand-written, and they
both actually cache values that are also in memcached,
so the per-request cache essentially only saves us
from a few memcached hits.

I think the linkifier per-request cache is a necessary
evil. It's an important part of message rendering, and
it's not super easy to structure the code to just get
a single value up front and pass it down the stack.

I'm not so sure we even need the display recipient
per-request cache any more, as we are generally pretty
smart now about hydrating recipient data in terms of
how the code is organized. But I haven't done thorough
research on that hypotheseis.

Fortunately, it's not rocket science to just write
a glorified memoize decorator and tie it into key
places in the code:

    * middleware
    * tests (e.g. asserting db counts)
    * queue processors

That's what I did in this commit.

This commit definitely reduces the amount of code
to maintain. I think it also gets us closer to
possibly phasing out this whole technique, but that
effort is beyond the scope of this PR. We could
add some instrumentation to the decorator to see
how often we get a non-trivial number of saved
round trips to memcached.

Note that when we flush linkifiers, we just use
a big hammer and flush the entire per-request
cache for linkifiers, since there is only ever
one realm in the cache.

n0099 2b1d250154 nginx: Switch from `$host` to `$http_host` for HTTP/3 compatibility.
nginx sets the value of the `$http_host` variable to the empty string
when using http/3, as there is technically no `Host:` header sent:
https://github.com/nginx-quic/nginx-quic/issues/3

Users with a browser that support http/3 will send their first request
to nginx with http/2, and get an expected HTTP 200 -- but any
subsequent requests will fail with am HTTP 400, since the browser will
have upgraded to http/3, which has an empty `Host` header, which Zulip
rejects.

Switch to the `$host` variable, which works for all HTTP versions.

Alex Vandiver d46279c41e docs: Clarify that trust of X-Fowarded-Proto is also necessary.
Previously, `X-Forwarded-Proto` did not need to be set, and failure to
set `loadbalancer.ips` would merely result in bad IP-address
rate-limiting and incorrect access logs; after 0935d388f0, however,
failure to do either of those, if Zulip is deployed with `http_only`,
will lead to infinite redirect loops after login.  These are
accompanied by a misleading error, from Tornado, of:

    Forbidden (Origin checking failed - https://zulip.example.com does not match any trusted origins.): /json/events

This is most common with Docker deployments, where deployments use
another docker container, such as nginx or Traefik, to do SSL
termination.  See zulip/docker-zulip#403.

Update the documentation to reinforce that `loadbalancer.ips` also
controls trust of `X-Forwarded-Proto`, and that failure to set it will
cause the application to not function correctly.

Alex Vandiver bd217ad31b puppet: Read resolver from /etc/resolv.conf.
04cf68b45e make nginx responsible for downloading (and caching)
files from S3.  As noted in that commit, nginx implements its own
non-blocking DNS resolver, since the base syscall is blocking, so
requires an explicit nameserver configuration.  That commit used
127.0.0.53, which is provided by systemd-resolved, as the resolver.

However, that service may not always be enabled and running, and may
in fact not even be installed (e.g. on Docker).  Switch to parsing
`/etc/resolv.conf` and using the first-provided nameserver.  In many
deployments, this will still be `127.0.0.53`, but for others it will
provide a working DNS server which is external to the host.

In the event that a server is misconfigured and has no resolvers in
`/etc/resolv.conf`, it will error out:
```console
Error: Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Function Call, No nameservers found in /etc/resolv.conf!  Configure one by setting application_server.nameserver in /etc/zulip/zulip.conf (file: /home/zulip/deployments/current/puppet/zulip/manifests/app_frontend_base.pp, line: 76, column: 70) on node example.zulipdev.org
