Previous algorithm was not correct if we didn't have full data for
the current narrow loaded from the server. #23512 adds the support
to mark messages in a narrow unread after a give message_id.
Added a new alert banner to indicate loading and success states of
an ongoing request. This is useful when requests can take a long
time to complete.
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.
We can reuse the content from multiple sections of the Slack article
to update "Import from Mattermost/Gitter/Rocket.Chat" by making small
wording tweaks.
- Renames the page to "Usage statistics" (title & left sidebar).
- Adds an intro section that outlines the types of information
that can be found on the stats page.
Fixes#23449.
Adds "View your mentions" page to document how to access @-mentions
and the @ indicator for unread @-mentions on desktop/web and mobile.
Fixes#23422.

Fixes small error in the example at the top of the article, and
adds a short statement about narrows searching the current user's
personal message history with a link to the help center article.
Gives the final section a subheader and adds the two other narrow
operators that take an ID.
Updates the relevant help center articles to reflect that the
sections for Pinned and Inactive streams in the left sidebar
now have labels.
Fixes#23423.
It is better not to use a tab in the instructions for how to
"Toggle whether names of reacting users are displayed", as this setting
applies to both web/desktop and mobile apps.
The instructions themselves still indicate that the setting is controlled
via the web/desktop app.
Updates the first part of the article to discuss the basics of
the search feature. Adds sub-headers / sections to the list of
search operators. Makes the exluding messages a section header
instead of a sub-section of the list.
Updates the help center article on searching for messages to have
the correct format for the "group-pm-with" operator.
Also, reorders the list so that the private message searches are
all together, and the `streams:public` operator is last so that
it stands out a bit more.
The previous error page was inadequate for serving the two different
scenarios where we show errors in realm_creations, in particular
containing a misleading sentence about realm creation being disabled
(even in the case where it was actually enabled and the user simply had
an expired link).
Some options in the profile menu are not documented in the help center.
Documents "View messages sent".
Documents "View messages with yourself".
Links `sender:me` search operator to the relevant section on this page.
Fixes: #23203.
Change URLs on "Choosing between Zulip Cloud and self-hosting" page
to be non-relative when pointing to the Zulip landing page or `/new`
for creating a new Zulip Cloud organization.
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".
Renames the help article on custom profile fields to reflect that
its content is not just about adding fields.
Adds a redirect from the old URL to the new URL and updates internal
links, linking to #add-a-custom-profile-field where appropriate.
Fixes#23170.
- Consolidate /help/starting-a-new-private-thread and /help/private-messages.
- Tweak the wording on compose-and-send-message.md.
- Use compose-and-send-message.md where appropriate (and not otherwise).
Corrects "Reply mentioning user" option which is available in the
user menu if accessed from a message.
Documents "Copy mention syntax" option which is available from the
right sidebar.
Fixes: #23202.
Adds new tab to `zerver/lib/markdown/tabbed_sections.py` to document
managing bots from both personal settings and organization settings.
Documents adding bots from the organization settings Bots panel.
Separates instructions for deactivating and reactivating a bot from
both personal settings and organization settings.
Fixes a few formatting issues such as missing bold formatting and
heading level.
Fixes: #23066.
This documents how to access the options from the three-dot menu in a
user's profile summary.
Refactors and updates the steps for muting a user into a single set of
instructions. Updates instructions for the "Manage this user" option.
Fixes#23204.
Updates all help center documentation according to the latest changes to
the three-dot message menu and the UI for moving and editing messages.
Fixes#23217.
These used to only be shown conditional on the
{% if password_auth_enabled %} in the template. Meaning that if you had
an org with email auth disabled and a deactivated user tried to log in,
they wouldn't see the error shown and get confused.
This switches the position of where these error will be shown (above the
login+password form instead of below it), but it looks fine.
Documents the new "Mark as unread from here" option in the three-dot
message menu.
Adds new page "Marking messages as unread", just below "Marking
messages as read" in the sidebar index.
Fixes: #23052.
This commit updates description for "e" shortcut to
"Edit selected message or view message source" in
shortcuts menu and to "Edit message or view message source"
in help docs.
Previously we did not send notification for topic-only edits.
Now, we add backend support for sending notification to topic-only
edits as well.
We would add support for this in webapp in further commits since
message edit UI will be updated as well. We just make sure that no
notifications are sent when editing topic using pencil icon in
message header.
We also change the API default for moving a topic to only notify the
new location, not the old one; this matches the current defaults in
the web UI.
Includes many tests.
We also update the puppeteer tests to test only content edit as
we are going to change the UI to not allow topic editing from
message edit UI. Also fixing the existing tests to pass while
doing topic edits is somewhat complex as notification message
is also sent to new topic by default.
Fixes#21712.

Previously "Move message" option was not shown when content editing
was also allowed and also when only moving messaages between streams
was allowed but not topic edits.
Now we show "Move message" option when editing topics or moving
messages between streams is allowed irrespective of whether content
editing is allowed or not.
Split the View source / Move message option into two menu options that
take you to the same UI: Move message and View message source.
Previously, it was confusing to have this double option,
and hard to parse it at a glance.
-View message source uses the current icon.
-Move message uses the arrows icon from the Move topic menu option.
-New option order: (1) Move message, (2) Quote and reply or forward,
(3) View message source.
Also remove the "Topic editing only" and "View source" text on the
bottom right of the message edit UI along with the tooltips. Only
the timer text is shown (along with tooltip) when content editing
is allowed.
Adds a bullet point about muted users being excluded from read
receipts for all messages, and that the read receipts feature
doesn't share if the user has read messages for their muted users.
- Remove unnecessary screenshot with old Zulip branding.
- In the intro, clarify how the organization profile picture is used.
- Extract org profile intro into an included file.
- Describe the Preview organization profile button.
Add #stream_name to wildcard mention because it is important
information for interpreting the wildcard mention (larger streams may
mean something very different to you than small ones).
Fixes#22885.
Add {{ realm_name }} to the "Reply to this email directly ..." line.
This ensures the realm name is always present in the email
notification footer area, in a consistent location.
This commit renames Edit to Edit message and Collapse to Collapse message
for better readability and to match the Delete message and
Copy link to message options.
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.
Unfortunately, doing so requires forking common API documentation
text, since we're not making any changes to other endpoints that don't
allow unauthenticated requests at all.
Follow-up on #21995.
Makes the footer content on doc pages more contextually appropriate
for self-hosted organizations, when `settings.CORPORATE_ENABLED` is
false.
When `settings.CORPORATE_ENABLED` is true, there is specific footer
content for the policy documentation pages, and for the help center
and API documentation pages.
Fixes#23068.
Updates the help center article on 'Status and availability' to
describe invisible mode as a feature and removes all mentions of
the unavailable feature.
Fixes#21178.
Updates API documentation and changelog for user status `away`
now being a deprecated way to access a user's `presence_enabled`
setting for clients supporting older servers.
Final step in making user status `away` a deprecated way to access
`presence_enabled` for clients supporting older servers.
Part of transitioning from 'unavailable' user status feature to
'invisible mode' user presence feature.
This help center article should include more features rather than just
focusing on the "go to conversation" button. We should broaden and
restructure this page to cover other advanced features.
Refactors the "Go to conversation" section as step-by-step instructions,
and adds a `keyboard_tip`.
Adds new section "Toggle between Ctrl+Enter and Enter".
Deletes the "Enable Enter to send" help center article, and adds its
content as a new subheading in this section.
Updates existing links accordingly and adds a URL redirect.
Documents "Enable Control + Enter to send".
Tweaks intro paragraph of "Mastering the compose box".
Fixes: #22817.
Fixes#22821.
As explained in the comment in the code:
Topics can be large enough that this request will inevitably time out.
In such a case, it's good for some progress to be accomplished, so that
full deletion can be achieved by repeating the request. For that purpose,
we delete messages in atomic batches, committing after each batch.
The additional perk is that the ordering of messages should prevent some
hypothetical deadlocks - ref #19054
Adds section on how to configure whether messages are automatically
marked as read.
Adds instructions to manually mark all messages as read, or mark all
messages in a stream or topic as read.
Adds the all messages tab image icon.
Fixes: #22915.
This help center article needs to be restructured before adding
documentation for mobile app users.
Splits the article into three sections so that we can document how
to mark messages as read on scroll or manually mark all messages
as read.
Adds "Related articles" section with cross-links.
Adds a new help center article to document the ability to edit bots,
both in personal and organization settings.
Adds a note about bot editing to "View all bots in your organization".
Fixes#21641.

To allow `custom_profile_field` to display in user profile popover,
added new boolean field "display_in_profile_summary" in its model class.
In `custom_profile_fields.py`, functions are edited as per conditions,
like currently we can display max 2 `custom_profile_fields` except
`LONG_TEXT` and `USER` type fields.
Default external account custom profile fields made updatable for only
this new field, as previous they were not updatable.
Fixes part of: #21215
