Earlier, we didn't soft-reactivate users for group mentions
at all because it wasn't easy to calculate group size.
Now, we will soft reactivate if the user group mentions has
less than 12 members.
We don't reactivate all users because a user group can have a
very large size, which can lead to large backlogs in the
deferred-work queue.
Fixes part of #27586.
Currently, the sender names for outgoing emails sent by Zulip
are hardcoded. It should be configurable for self-hosted systems.
This commit makes the 'Zulip' part a variable in the following
email sender names: 'Zulip Account Security', 'Zulip Digest',
and 'Zulip Notifications' by introducing a settings variable
'SERVICE_NAME' with the default value as f"{EXTERNAL_HOST} Zulip".
Fixes: #23857
Earlier, for the emails having latex math like
"$$d^* = +\infty$$", the bad rendering led to the math
being included multiple times in the email body.
This was due to displaying KaTeX HTML without the CSS.
This commit fixes the incorrect behavior by replacing
the KaTeX with the raw LaTex source.
Fixes part of #25289.
Earlier, email message notifications included prior messages sent
to the same topic for context. This is more confusing than helpful
for messages that the user is likely to have received notifications
for all the prior messages in the conversation already (or read them
in the Zulip UI).
Now, we include prior context only when the user is mentioned via
personal, group, stream or topic wildcard mention.
Fixes#27479.
This commit improves the test to explicitly verify that multiple
messages that were sent in quick succession to a topic are included
in the email body when we have email notifications enabled for a
given stream.
Earlier, the test was only verifying the email subject and the fact
that only one email was sent.
It is important to verify the fact that all the messages sent to a
topic in quick succession should be included in the email body.
Originally, this was how the notification emails worked, but that was changed
in 797a7ef97b, with this old behavior
available as an option.
The footer and from address of emails that are sent when this
setting is set to True are confusing, especially when more people
are involved in a stream and since we have changed the way we send
emails, it should be removed. It’s also not widely used.
Fixes#26609.
The `expected` flag was incredibly confusing, as you
couldn't tell from the calling code what you were
actually expecting to happen.
I avoid the context manager idiom in order to force
the callers to create simple helper functions, and
I de-duplicate some code in some places.
I also force the caller to explicitly soft-deactivate
the user with one simple line of code, so that the
person reading the test doesn't have to research
the side effects of the helper. (And I make it
very easy for new authors to follow the practice
going forward.)
This is also somewhat of a prep commit to avoid
the obfuscated use of refresh_from_db.
This commit renames the 'PRIVATE_MESSAGE' attribute of the
'NotificationTriggers' class to 'DIRECT_MESSAGE'.
Custom migration to update the existing value in the database.
It includes 'TODO/compatibility' code to support the old
notification trigger value 'private_message' in the
push notification queue during the Zulip server upgrades.
Earlier 'private_message' was one of the possible values for the
'trigger' property of the '[`POST /zulip-outgoing-webhook`]' response;
Update the docs to reflect the change in the above-mentioned trigger
value.
