When somebody changes their name, we will now update
the buddy list right away. The old code was trying
to do this through a code path that was designed for
true presence updates, but it was also passing in an
empty array, instead of undefined, which caused it to
fail to invoke the intended part of the codepath to
redraw the buddy list.
Now we just call the new activity.redraw() function,
which does the right thing for the buddy list.
The group PM list was live-updating before this change,
and it continues to live-update as part of the new
activity.redraw() function.
We now sort users by the lower case value of their
full names in each of the links in the "GROUP PMs"
section of the right sidebar. We still use "+n others"
for big huddles.
When we filtered buddy lists, a recent change introduced some
bugs related to case-insensitive emails. We now circumvent the
bug by indexing presence_info with user_ids.
We now use comma-delimited lists of user_ids for the following
data structures in unread.js:
- unread_privates[<user_ids_string>]
- get_counts.pm_count[<user_ids_string>]
It used to be the case that you would get new messages for a
huddle, but the huddle wouldn't show up on your buddy list until
the every-50-seconds mass update of the buddy list.
Now we make sure to work with non-stale jQuery objects, and,
more importantly, we resize ourselves if we add new huddles.
(The resize issue arises due to some complicated heuristics
where we don't want group PMs to take up too much of the buddy
list for users who don't have many in their history.)
Previously, we were checking if a particular user was the current user
in dozens of places in the codebase, and correct case-insensitive
checks were not used consistently, leading to bugs like #502.
Previously, the user list would remain filtered after a user hit enter
to start composing a message to a user, leaving them in a state with a
partial user list.
Fixes#360.
The original logic for incremental presence list updating from
668d0d9dfa incorrectly attempted to
insert the user 1 spot later than its proper index in the listing.
Now that we're doing presence updates in a performant fashion, we
don't need to throttle processing these events, and in fact the
throttling of these events created a correctness problem, since we're
now doing incremental updates rather than just rerendering everything
after each event.
The code in 668d0d9dfa for removing an
existing user from the user list to update the status didn't correctly
quote the email address of the user in its jquery selector.
Whenever a user became active, this triggers an immediate presence
update event (to show that user as active). The implementation for
that event (running on the browsers of all other users in the realm)
would fully rerender the presence list, which can be an expensive
operation in a large realm, just to update the status for that one
user. This fixes that case to just remove the user from the list and
then re-insert it at the appropriate index.

Previously, you'd have to be offline to recieve missedmessage
notifications, or maybe idle for an hour. However, I'm pretty sure the
latter code didn't actually work, so we scrap that and just nofity you
via email or push as soon as you're idle.

We show a user as "on mobile" if:
* They are only active on mobile
* They are inactive on all devices and can receive push notifications

This is important for hotkey users to be able to use other hotkeys.
Since ESC clears a search, we need ENTER to merely blur the search;
otherwise, hotkey users will need to mouse away from the search box
if they want to keep the search sticky.

Whatever text is entered into the search box under users is used
to filter users by their full names. You can use commas to search
for multiple users. Search terms must be at the start of names, so
"st,fr" would match "Steve Howell" and "Leo Franchi" but not
"jesstess." Names are case insensitive.
