This is CVE-2017-0896.
Apparently, this setting never actually was wired up to anything other
than hiding the UI widget.
Huge thanks to Ibram Marzouk from the HackerOne community for finding
this security bug.
This makes it possible for Zulip administrators to delete messages.
This is primarily intended for use in deleting early test messages,
but it can solve other problems as well.
Later we'll want to play with the permissions model for this, but for
now, the goal is just to integrate the feature.
Note that it saves the deleted messages for some time using the same
approach as Zulip's message retention policy feature.
Fixes#135.
Previously, all notification preference setting had a dedicated test
and setter. Now, all are handled through a modular function using the
property_types framework.
This is probably not the right long-term solution to the cross-realm
bots problem (that solution is probably to eliminate cross-realm bots
and replace them with per-realm bots). But in the short term, this
will at least make it possible for mobile apps to interact with these
cross-realm bots using the `realm_user` data set.
When we create a stream, we usually send a welcome message on the
stream itself as well as an announcement on the announcement stream,
but we no longer PM the individual users. Hopefully this will be
more pleasant for users (less spammy), and it also will make creating a
stream a lot faster.
We still send notifications when we add subscribers to an existing
stream.
We now pre-populate the streams in DEFAULT_NEW_REALM_STREAMS
(social/general/zulip, unless somebody changes settings.py) with
welcome messages. This makes the streams appear to be active
right away, and it also gives the Zulip realm less of a
blank-slate feeling when you create it.
This change only affects the normal web-based create-realm flow.
It doesn't impact the management commands for creating realms
or setting default streams.
These handlers will kick into action when is_signup is False. In case
the account exists, the user will be logged in, otherwise, user will
be asked if they want to proceed to registration.
This is one of the last major endpoints that were still done in the
pre-REST style.
While we're at it, we change the endpoint to expect a stream ID, not a
stream name.
This commit replaces all uses of django.core.mail.send_mail with send_email,
other than in the password reset flow, since that code looks like it is just
a patch to Django's password reset code.
The send_email function is in a new file, since putting it in
zerver.lib.notifications would create an import loop with confirmation.models.
send_future_email will soon be moved into email.py as well.
