The manage.py change effectively switches the Zulip production server
to use the virtualenv, since all of our supervisord commands for the
various Python services go through manage.py.
Additionally, this migrates the production scripts and Nagios plugins
to use the virtualenv as well.
We would like to know which kind of authentication backends the server
supports.
This is information you can get from /login, but not in a way easily
parseable by API apps (e.g. the Zulip mobile apps).
This prototype from Dropbox Hack Week turned out to be too inefficient
to be used for realms with any significant amount of history, so we're
removing it.
It will be replaced by https://github.com/zulip/zulip/pull/673.
For a long time, rest_dispatch has had this hack where we have to
create a copy of it in each views file using it, in order to directly
access the globals list in that file. This removes that hack, instead
making rest_dispatch just use Django's import_string to access the
target method to use.
[tweaked and reorganized from acrefoot's original branch in various
ways by tabbott]
Currently we use the deprecated django pattern() prefix pattern.
This make it hard to read the router logic in zproject/urls.py
This commit denormalizes the urls so that they can be read
more easily, at the expense of some verbosity. This also makes it
easier to reorganize urls in that file.
We skip denomalizing rest_dispatch due to its unique complications.
The recent changes to api_fetch_api_key to receive detailed data via
the "return_data" object did not properly update the LDAP backend to
accept that argument, causing mobile password authentication to not
work with the LDAP backend.
Apparently, there are like 5 independently developed jquery-caret
plugins, none of which are great. The previous one we were using was
last modified in 2010. This new one comes from
https://github.com/acdvorak/jquery.caret and at least doesn't use
deprecated jQuery syntax and has a repository on GitHub.
This plugin is way larger than it needs to be for what it does, but we
can deal with that later.
Previously, uploaded files were served:
* With S3UploadBackend, via get_uploaded_file (redirects to S3)
* With LocalUploadBackend in production, via nginx directly
* With LocalUploadBackend in development, via Django's static file server
This changes that last case to use get_uploaded_file in development,
which is a key step towards being able to do proper access control
authorization.
Does not affect production.
`makemessages` escapes the `%` sign in `.po` files, but Jinja2 does
not unescape it while replacing the tranlation strings. In Jinja2,
there is an updated implementation of gettext available called
new-style gettext which handles escaping better; this commit switches
to using that.
Fixes#906.
