# Version History
|
||
|
||
All notable changes to the Zulip server are documented in this file.
|
||
|
||
### Unreleased
|
||
|
||
This section lists notable unreleased changes; it is generally updated
|
||
in bursts.
|
||
|
||
### 1.7.0 -- 2017-10-25
|
||
|
||
**Highlights:**
|
||
|
||
Web
|
||
- We’ve completely redesigned our onboarding process to explain Zulip,
|
||
and especially topics, to new users.
|
||
- We’ve built a beautiful new emoji picker with categories, a
|
||
showcase, and much better data. Note the clean, underscore-free
|
||
display!
|
||
- The emails sent by Zulip are more consistent, readable, and visually
|
||
interesting.
|
||
- Chinese (Simplified) and Japanese join Spanish, German, and Czech in
|
||
having the user interface fully translated, in addition to partial
|
||
translations for many other languages. We also fixed many small
|
||
issues where strings weren’t tagged for translation.
|
||
- Many pages have been redesigned to be easier to use and visually
|
||
cleaner, including the settings pages and the user documentation at
|
||
/help, /integrations, and /apps.
|
||
|
||
Mobile and Desktop support
|
||
- Zulip Server 1.7 adds several new APIs that are critical for mobile
|
||
app performance and that let the app track unread messages. If
|
||
you’re using the mobile apps at all (iOS or Android), you will
|
||
definitely want to upgrade to Zulip 1.7.
|
||
- The iOS and Android apps can receive push notifications
|
||
(configurable, naturally) for events like PMs and @-mentions. While
|
||
Zulip Server 1.6 has basic support for these, 1.7 brings a new,
|
||
clearer format to notifications, and gives each user more options
|
||
for finer-grained control.
|
||
- The new Electron desktop app is out of beta and replaces our legacy
|
||
desktop apps.
|
||
|
||
Backend and scaling
|
||
- Zulip now runs exclusively on Python 3. This is the culmination of
|
||
an 18-month migration effort. We are very excited about this!
|
||
- We’ve added an automatic "soft deactivation" process, which
|
||
dramatically improves performance for organizations with a large
|
||
number of inactive users, without any impact on those users’
|
||
experience if they later come back.
|
||
- Zulip's performance at scale has improved significantly. Performance
|
||
now scales primarily with number of active users (not total
|
||
users). As an example, chat.zulip.org serves 400 monthly active
|
||
users and about 3500 total users, on one VM with just 8GB of RAM and
|
||
a CPU consistently over 90% idle.
|
||
|
||
**Upgrade notes:**
|
||
|
||
* Zulip 1.7 contains some significant database migrations that can
|
||
take several minutes to run. The upgrade process automatically
|
||
minimizes disruption by running these first, before beginning the
|
||
user-facing downtime. However, if you'd like to watch the downtime
|
||
phase of the upgrade closely, we recommend
|
||
[running them first manually](expensive-migrations.html) and as well
|
||
as the usual trick of
|
||
[doing an apt upgrade first](prod-maintain-secure-upgrade.html#applying-ubuntu-system-updates).
|
||
|
||
* We've removed support for an uncommon legacy deployment model where
|
||
a Zulip server served multiple organizations on the same domain.
|
||
Installs with multiple organizations now require each organization
|
||
to have its own subdomain.
|
||
|
||
This change should have no effect for the vast majority of Zulip
|
||
servers that only have one organization. If you manage a server
|
||
that hosts multiple organizations, you'll want to read [our guide on
|
||
multiple organizations](prod-multiple-organizations.html).
|
||
|
||
* We simplified the configuration for our password strength checker to
|
||
be much more intuitive. If you were using the
|
||
`PASSWORD_MIN_ZXCVBN_QUALITY` setting,
|
||
[it has been replaced](https://github.com/zulip/zulip/commit/a116303604e362796afa54b5d923ea5312b2ea23) by
|
||
the more intuitive `PASSWORD_MIN_GUESSES`.
|
||
|
||
