When we create a stream, we usually send a welcome message on the
stream itself as well as an announcement on the announcement stream,
but we no longer PM the individual users. Hopefully this will be
more pleasant for users (less spammy), and it also will make creating a
stream a lot faster.
We still send notifications when we add subscribers to an existing
stream.
We now pre-populate the streams in DEFAULT_NEW_REALM_STREAMS
(social/general/zulip, unless somebody changes settings.py) with
welcome messages. This makes the streams appear to be active
right away, and it also gives the Zulip realm less of a
blank-slate feeling when you create it.
This change only affects the normal web-based create-realm flow.
It doesn't impact the management commands for creating realms
or setting default streams.
This fixes 2 issues:
* The term "@-mentioned" is simplified to "mentioned".
* We would incorrectly list other people who sent context messages as
among the people who mentioned you.
Now, in the event of messages between two other members of a huddle,
the missed message emails are threaded in "Group PMs with name1 and
name2" and not in separate threads by sender.
Also, now the order of recipients in get_display_recipient consistent
with the order of names that appears in the list of personal messages
on the left sidebar.
Fixes most of #4553.
These handlers will kick into action when is_signup is False. In case
the account exists, the user will be logged in, otherwise, user will
be asked if they want to proceed to registration.
This is one of the last major endpoints that were still done in the
pre-REST style.
While we're at it, we change the endpoint to expect a stream ID, not a
stream name.
This fixes most cases where we were assigning a user to
the var email and then calling get_user_profile_by_email with
that var.
(This was fixed mostly with a script.)
The example_user() function is specifically designed for
AARON, hamlet, cordelia, and friends, and it allows a concise
way of using their built-in user profiles. Eventually, the
widespread use of example_user() should help us with refactorings
such as moving the tests users out of the "zulip.com" realm
and deprecating get_user_profile_by_email.
On slower systems or virtual environments, when you are running
tests in parallel mode, sometimes the time taken to send messages
in this test exceeds 1 second which resets the limit.
We used to use constructions like
from_email = "Zulip <%s>" % (settings.NOREPLY_EMAIL_ADDRESS,)
but no longer do. All references to settings.NOREPLY_EMAIL_ADDRESS in the
codebase now do not append a display name.
This commit is a step towards the goal of replacing most of the
send_future_email pathway with a call to send_email.
Note that this commit changes the default value of sender from "Zulip
<NOREPLY_EMAIL_ADDRESS>" to "NOREPLY_EMAIL_ADDRESS". NOREPLY_EMAIL_ADDRESS
will soon be changed to have the Zulip in front.
