This allows the frontend to fetch data on the subscribers list (etc.)
for streams where the user has never been subscribed, making it
possible to implement UI showing details like subscribe counts on the
subscriptions page.
This is likely a performance regression for very large teams with
large numbers of streams; we'll want to do some testing to determine
the impact (and thus whether we should make this feature only fully
enabled for larger realms).
There were a bunch of authorization and well-formedness checks in
zerver.lib.actions.do_update_message that I moved to
zerver.views.messages.update_message_backend.
Reason: by convention, functions in actions.py complete their actions;
error checking should be done outside the file when possible.
Fixes: #1150.
This is controlled through the admin tab and a new field in the Realms table.
Notes:
* The admin tab setting takes a value in minutes, whereas the backend stores it
in seconds.
* This setting is unused when allow_message_editing is false.
* There is some generosity in how the limit is enforced. For instance, if the
user sees the hovering edit button, we ensure they have at least 5 seconds to
click it, and if the user gets to the message edit form, we ensure they have
at least 10 seconds to make the edit, by relaxing the limit.
* This commit also includes a countdown timer in the message edit form.
Resolves#903.
Correctly encode and decode strings in convert_html_to_markdown.
It wasn't possible to use universal_newlines=True since
Popen.communicate doesn't encode/decode strings correctly on
python 2.
Add methods assert_equals_response and assert_in_response to
AuthedTestCase. These methods make it convenient to check if
a string equals the contents of an HttpResponse's body or if a
string is a substring of the contents of an HttpResponse's body.
response.content is binary data, but code usually assumes it to
be text. Fix this by decoding response.content where required.
Don't do this in tests yet.
This is controlled through the admin tab and a new field in the Realms
table. This mirrors the behavior of the old hardcoded setting
feature_flags.disable_message_editing. Partially resolves#903.
This reverts commit f1f48f305e.
The use of sklearn unfortunately caused a substantial slowdown to the
Zulip provisioning process, which didn't seem worth it for a
relatively minor feature.
