    bugdown: Change youtube preview to show name of video instead of link.

    Currently our youtube previews look like image

    And it would be better if they looked like image

    (namely, the url is replaced by a link with the name as the text of the link).

    I think you can find the relevant code by grepping for youtube in zerver/lib/bugdown/__init__.py.

  • In Development environment setup instructions, make external links open in a new tab

    In Development environment setup instructions, make external links open in a new tab

    The instructions for setting up the Zulip development environment contain links to external sites for downloads and/or supplemental instructions (e.g. setting up ssh keys for GitHub). After clicking these links, the reader needs to get back to the overall setup instructions in order to continue to the next step of the process. In order to make it easier, it would be better to have these external links default to opening in a new tab.

    Known pages where this would be desirable: https://zulip.readthedocs.io/en/latest/development/setup-vagrant.html https://zulip.readthedocs.io/en/latest/development/setup-advanced.html#installing-directly-on-ubuntu-debian-centos-or-fedora https://zulip.readthedocs.io/en/latest/development/setup-advanced.html#installing-directly-on-windows-10-with-wsl-2

    It may be worth looking around to see if this comes up elsewhere in the developer documentation. @timabbott might have suggestions as well.

    Some advice on how to implement this change: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4425198/can-i-create-links-with-target-blank-in-markdown

    Dockerfile

    @timabbott Here you go, a working Dockerfile. Any improvements I could add?

    This adds a working Dockerfile and my create-admin-user.sh script.

    I included the docker-compose.yml because the database server needs to be my galexrt/zulip-postgresql-tsearchextras (because other postgresql images don't have the tsearch extension installed). You would just need to change the image names (example zulip/zulip:1.3.10).

    If there is anything that can improve this Pull Request, please let me know.


    Original commit messages:

    This adds a working Dockerfile for "production" use
    It includes a `docker-compose.yml` which currently uses my image.
    The `docker-entrypoint.sh` is about 285 lines of code, but it has inbuilt database backup and restore function.
    (I can remove the backup and restore or add more functions see https://github.com/galexrt/docker-zulip)
    
    I also added an README.docker.md, it should give users a quick start on how to use the docker image.
    
    Added Dockerfile for "production" use
    Added other docker related files like docker-compose.yml and docker-entrypoint.sh
    
    Added the generate secrets command to the entrypoint
    
    puppet: Move several debugging tool dependencies out of base.pp.
    
    Rename zulip::postgres_appdb to zulip::postgres_appdb_base.
    
    The purpose of this rename is to allow us to move the postgres-related
    configuration out of voyager.pp.
    
    puppet: Move tuned postgres configuration out of voyager.pp.
    
    This should make it easier for someone to run just the tuned Zulip
    database on one server and the Zulip frontend on another.
    
    puppet: Move prod-static creation from voyager.pp to app_frontend.pp.
    
    Every app frontend will need this directory and this should help
    enable more modular puppet rules.
    
    puppet: Move Zulip apt repository to its own manifest.
    
    puppet: Rename app_frontend.pp to app_frontend_base.pp.
    
    This will enable us to move the remaining app-frontend related content
    out of voyager.pp.
    
    puppet: Move memcached into its own puppet module.
    
    puppet: Move memcached and rabbitmq include out of app_frontend_base.pp.
    
    puppet: Move default nginx configuration out of voyager.pp.
    
    Document the puppet configuration somewhat in zulip::voyager.
    
    puppet: Make apt repository conditional on the Ubuntu version.
    
    We still will need to address this in the install script as well.
    
    puppet: Use a variable to configure the postgres version.
    
    puppet: Use $postgres_version in postgres template.
    
    This eliminates hardcoding of the postgres version from the Zulip
    puppet configuration.
    
    Fix missing puppet dependencies on postgres package.
    
    Added "custom" dockervoyer puppet manifest
    
    Add the files from the repo directly (dont use git clone to get something we already have in our docker build directory)
    
    Added cron.conf for running cron inside the docker container
    Useful for later docker related features like auto backup (see https://github.com/Galexrt/docker-zulip/blob/master/entrypoint.sh#L337-L345)
    
    Filled .dockerignore with directories and fiels to ignore/exclude from the image builds
    
    Fixed the linking of directories
    
    Removed git package and don't add "deb-src" list
    
    Fixed the settings path aka the zproject settings folder
    
    Removed the "removement" of "Service" tasks thing puppet
    
    Remove the puppet files after the puppet install
    
    Removed the zproject directory from the $DATA_DIR
    The zproject directory causes trouble if it is just linked. Because zulip uses paths like this for example "deployments/../memcached_prefix".
    
    Removed a trailing slash
    
    Wait for database to come online and create database and schema "manually"
    (Shouldn't occure because zulip needs the postgres tsearch thingy extensions, thus rendering every other postgresql image/server than the galexrt/zulip-postgresql-tsearchextras:latest)
    
    Added the wait for database code
    
    Fixed the rabbitmq connection problem
    
    Use sed to replace the default memcached location with the env var MEMCACHED_LOCATION
    
    Added the tsearch_extras extension query to the database (re)creation part
    
    Migrate the database everytime we start (for safety)
    
    Tweaks and fixes to the docker-entrypoint.sh
    
    Restructured the entrypoint.sh
    
    Restructured the docker-entrypoint.sh
    This restructure adds database backup and restore functionality
    Added "Running in Docker" to the README.md
    
    Fixed the help text for the app:help function
    
    Fixed the restore help line (was app:backup is now app:restore)
    Added more explanation to the README.docker.md
    
    Small adjustments and tweaks to the entrypoint.sh
    
    We don't need to copy the uploads from the home/zulip
    
    Added restart always to the docker-compose.yml (because there is no wait for container x to become ready)
    Added Try counter at the migration
    
    Tweaks and optimization for the entrypoint.sh
    
    Renamed the zulipgeneratesecrets function
    
    This could fix the exit code 0 problem
    
    Fix for the retry at the database migration
    
    Some changes to the sql queries
    
    Small change to the queries
    Fixed the if
    
    Added the forgotten nginx.conf to supervisor
    (It's a little bit embarassing, that forgot the main part of this container)
    

    @smarx I signed the CLA.

  • Add support for using Zulip with Python 3

    Add support for using Zulip with Python 3

    Python 3 enables a bunch of awesome stuff like optional static typing, and I think is actually pretty feasible to add. I've already applied the fast majority of the futurize/modernize fixers to the repository in a way that preserves Python 2+3 support; for future work, we should continue using that approach. Based on some hackish testing, we're about 100 LOC away from passing 90% of backend tests against Python 3 (well not including the #! lines that hardcode Python 2.7). Based on that investigation, the main projects that remain are as follows.

    We have some dependencies that don't support Python 3:

    • python-twitter (https://github.com/bear/python-twitter). It looks like some work has been done for Python 3 support there (https://github.com/bear/python-twitter/issues/155) or we could switch to an alternative library; Zulip primarily uses it to render links to Tweets.
    • python-ldap and django-auth-ldap. It appears there are Python 3 supporting libraries python-ldap3 and django-python3-ldap but they seem to have a different interface; so the challenges are (1) decide whether we want to switch to the python2+3 versions and (2) if so, actually do it.
    • Old django-pipeline. We're using an old version but a newer version that supports Python 3 exists; this upgrade may be somewhat messy since it involves renaming things like "load compressed" and "compressed_css" in our Django templates.

    (We can update this list to add others but those are the main ones where we need to do more than a straightforward version upgrade).

    There are also some changes needed to the Zulip code itself still:

    • Doing a few more Python 3 compatibility migrations (I've already done like 20 of them), in particular the file=>open change, .items() iteration, and several libraries like StringIO, urlparse. For these, we can fix things and then add the fixers to the tests in #252 to avoid regressions.
    • Unicode transition fixes such as adding appropriate encode/decode usage where we use base-64 encoding, hash digests, etc.

    If anyone's interested in working on Python 3 support, feel free to claim one of these pieces on this issue's discussion thread!

    I pushed https://github.com/timabbott/zulip/commits/tabbott-py3k-testing which has some total hack commits I wrote as part of the testing process for Python 3 support; with some library version installation work that branch passes 90% of our tests. That could be helpful for anyone working on this.

  • Add user-level email address visibility setting.

    Add user-level email address visibility setting.

    This PR adds user-level email address visibility setting (and also the realm-level default for new users) and removes the existing realm setting. Have explained major changes in details in the fourth and fifth commit which are major commits. And we can squash some commits, but have kept it separate now for review.

    Some important points -

    • There is change in logic for how we set client_gravatar to false based on user setting, which means avatar_url field can be available for some users and not for others.
    • Have not made any changes to typeahead and the behavior is same (including showing fake emails) except that user-level setting is used.
    • We need to think how the sort and search should work in users/deactivated users list and subscribers list. In the users list for now the "ID: 16" is just considered a string like email and search and sort is done accordingly.
    • I also wanted to confirm one thing, that we should always show user's own real email to themselves in all places like user popover, users list in settings, etc. irrespective of setting right?

    Work left -

    • Updating and adding help documentation.
    • Prototype adding ? besides ID: 26 mentioning that email is hidden by the user.

  • Switch to pip-compile-multi

    Switch to pip-compile-multi

    Hi, Zulip developers!

    I'm a maintainer of pip-compile-multi - tool, that is meant to replace tools/update-locked-requirements.

    In this PR I added pip-compile-multi to requirements/dev.in and executed:

    $ pip-compile-multi
    

    Some packages were updated and some stayed as is. I had to relax cryptography constraint because of version conflict.

    It works a bit different from tools/update-locked-requirements - instead of copying all packages from referenced files, it inserts a reference to compiled requirements file. Other than that, it's just a wrapper for pip-tools.

    (It's first battle test for the pip-compile-multi outside of my projects.)

  • notifications: Allow users to pick which notification sound they hear.

    notifications: Allow users to pick which notification sound they hear.

    This allows users to pick what they want their notification sound to be. It also adds 4 new sounds: boing, ding, knock, and tada (along with zulip, which already existed), which are all Creative-Commons-0-licensed from http://freesound.org.

    The way this works is

    1. Add a new property notification_sound to UserProfile.
    2. Also add available_notification_sounds to state based on audio files in a notification_sounds directory.
    3. Use those properties to add a new option on the settings screen and change the sound that plays when the user gets a notification.

  • Convert medium modules to ES6 modules

    Convert medium modules to ES6 modules

    I taught modzulator (#10118) to make simple adjustments to node_tests. With this, over ~~half~~ 90% of our modules have been converted. Things to note:

    • I’ve changed the way the Node tests use rewiremock. This way seems easier to understand and much easier to produce automatically.

    • I moved most set_global calls before the zrequire calls in the Node tests, so that converting them to rewiremock makes them available before they are imported.

    • I had to remove the _patched_with_set_global check added to the Node tests in 914533c8bc1a548dcb1f72bb4c1d62a07f0e7ebe (#17375). Most of our set_global usage will disappear as our globals do, anyway.

    • This round of conversion exposed a huge number of import cycles. I’ve disabled the import/no-cycle ESLint rule for now, but we should probably do something about this.

    • I disabled webpack module concatenation because it interfered with our debug-require-webpack-plugin and broke the Puppeteer tests. This increases the total uncompressed JS bundle size by 1.6%. We may want to fix the Puppeteer tests to avoid hooking directly into our JS modules so we can turn off debug-require-webpack-plugin in production. I’ll look into whether there are other solutions.

    Testing plan: Basic testing in dev server and production at https://andersk.zulipdev.org (I’d expect any runtime issues to show up during initialization).

  • internationalization: Localize dates.

    internationalization: Localize dates.

    Implemented date localization using date-fns. Considered using Format-JS but ultimately decided against it due to potential loss of functionality. Modified all uses of 'format' to 'localizedFormat' and made necessary string formatting changes in 'timerender.ts'.

    1. Wrote a function named localizedFormat that takes the current user's locale and uses the standard format function from date-fns, but with the locale option. By default, it formats dates with 'PP' (corresponding to MMM dd, yyyy in the American format).
    2. Changed all uses of format to localizedFormat. Even in some places where we don't need localization (HH:mm), the result of localizedFormat will be the same as format, so I changed it for consistency.
    3. Changed string formatting as needed in timerender.ts.

    Tested on my local development server, with some random languages.

    Fixes #23987.

  • Special characters like '>' in stream name interferes with autocomplete

    Special characters like '>' in stream name interferes with autocomplete

    Seems that Zulip stream and topic names are very permissible. Perhaps by design?

    But that also means it might interfere with autocomplete as currently designed.

    Example 1

    Repro Steps:

    1. Rename one of the streams to "test>"
    2. Rename another one of the streams to "test"
    3. Type "#**test>"

    Expected Result:

    • The broader context of the input is that the user is trying to type a stream name, so the autocomplete should be trying to look in streams.

    Actual Result:

    • The autocomplete is trying to do autocomplete of topics in the "test" stream, rather than trying to autocomplete stream names.

    Example 2

    1. Rename a stream to be "test**"
    2. Type "#te" then select the autocomplete for "test**"
    3. The compose box now has "#**test**** "
    4. Now type ">" to try to bring up the topic autocomplete

    Actual Result: No autocomplete

  • 6.0(Nov 17, 2022)

    6.0 -- 2022-11-17

    Highlights

    • Users can now mark messages as unread.
    • Added support for viewing read receipts, along with settings allowing both organizations and individual users to disable them.
    • Added new compose box button to navigate to the conversation being composed to, when that is different from the current view.
    • Added a scroll-to-bottom button, analogous to the End shortcut, that appears only when scrolling using the mouse.
    • Added support for up to 2 custom profile fields being highlighted in a user's profile summary popover, and added support for a new Pronouns custom field type designed to take advantage of it. Redesigned the custom profile fields administrative UI.
    • Redesigned the left sidebar to better organize pinned and inactive streams, highlight topics where the user was mentioned, and better advertise streams that the current user can subscribe to.
    • Redesigned the private messages experience in the left sidebar to make browsing conversations more ergonomic, with a similar usage pattern to browsing the topics within a stream.
    • Improved "Recent topics" and renamed it to "Recent conversations" with the addition of including private messages in the view. The timestamp links now go to the latest message in the topic, arrow key navigation was improved, topics containing unread mentions are now highlighted, as well as many other bug fixes or subtle improvements.
    • Messages containing 3 or fewer emoji reactions now display the names of reacting users alongside the emoji. This eliminates the need to mouse over emoji reactions to find out who reacted in the vast majority of cases.
    • Replaced the previous "Unavailable" status with a "Go invisible" feature that is more useful and intuitive.
    • The right sidebar now displays user status messages by default, with an optional compact design available.
    • The public access option was enhanced to skip the login page by default, support switching themes and languages, and add many other UI improvements.
    • Incoming webhook integrations now support filtering which classes of events are sent into Zulip; this can be invaluable when the third-party service doesn't support configuring which events to send to Zulip.
    • Added support for Ubuntu 22.04.
    • Removed support for Debian 10 and PostgreSQL 10 due to their approaching end-of-life upstream.
    • New integrations: Azure DevOps, RhodeCode, wekan.

    Full feature changelog

    • Redesigned the message actions popover to be better organized.
    • Redesigned moving messages to have a cleaner, more consistent UI that is no longer combined with the message editing UI. One can now choose to send automated notices when moving messages within a stream, not only between streams.
    • Redesigned full user profiles to have a cleaner look and also display user IDs, which can be important when using the API. Users can now administer bot stream subscriptions from the bot's full profile.
    • Redesigned the gear menu to display basic details about the Zulip organization, server, and its version.
    • Redesigned several organization settings pages to have more consistent design.
    • Redesigned the footer for self-hosted Zulip servers. The footer now has just a few key links, rather than being almost identical to the footer for the zulip.com website.
    • Redesigned the 500 error pages for self-hosted Zulip servers to be clearer and link to the Zulip server troubleshooting guide.
    • Redesigned the interface for configuring message editing and deletion permissions to be easier to understand.
    • Added support for emoji added in unicode versions since 2017, which had previously been unavailable in Zulip. Users using the deprecated "Google blobs" emoji set are automatically migrated to the modern "Google" emoji set. The "Google blobs" emoji set remains available for users who prefer it, with any new emoji that were added to the Unicode standard since 2017 displayed in the modern "Google" style.
    • Added support for changing the role of bots in the UI; previously, this was only possible via the API.
    • Added confirmation modals for various destructive actions, such as deactivating bots.
    • Added new summary statistics on the organization analytics page. Fixed several bugs with the display of analytics graphs.
    • Added support for administrators sending a final email to a user as part of deactivating their Zulip account.
    • Added API endpoint to get a single stream by ID.
    • Added beta support for user groups to have subgroups, and for some permissions settings to be managed using user groups. Over the coming releases, we plan to migrate all Zulip permissions settings to be based on this more flexible groups-based system. We currently expect this migration to be fully backwards-compatible.
    • Added a new compliance export management command.
    • Zulip's automated emails use the X-Auto-Response-Suppress header to reduce auto-responder replies.
    • Changed various icons to be more intuitive. The bell-based icon for muted topics has been replaced by a more standard muted speaker icon.
    • Reworked how a new user's language is set to prefer their browser's configured language over the organization's configured language. This organization-level setting has been renamed to "Language for automated messages and invitation emails" to reflect what it actually does following this change.
    • Organized the Drafts panel to prioritize drafts matching the current view.
    • Added an automated notification to the "stream events" topic when changing a stream's privacy settings.
    • Added support for conveniently overriding the default rate-limiting rules.
    • Improved the search typeahead to show profile pictures for users.
    • Improved typeahead matching algorithm for stream/user/emoji names containing multiple spaces and other corner cases.
    • Improved the help center, including better display of keyboard shortcuts, mobile documentation for common workflows and many polish improvements.
    • Improved API documentation, including a new page on roles and permissions, an audit to correct missing Changes entries, and new documentation for several previously undocumented endpoints.
    • Improved Python static type-checking to make use of Django stubs for mypy, fixing many minor bugs in the process.
    • Improved RealmAuditLog to cover several previously unauditable changes.
    • Improved the experience for users who have not logged in for a long time, and receive an email or push notification about a private message or personal mention. These users are now automatically soft reactivated at the time of the notification, for a smoother experience when they log in.
    • Improved the Tornado server-to-client push system's sharding system to support realm regular expressions and experimental support for splitting a single realm across multiple push server processes.
    • Improved user deactivation modal to provide details about bots and invitations that will be disabled.
    • Improve matching algorithm for left sidebar stream filtering.
    • Improved several integrations, including CircleCI, Grafana, Harbor, NewRelic, and the Slack compatible incoming webhook. Git webhooks now use a consistent algorithm for choosing shortened commit IDs to display.
    • Improved mention typeahead and rendering for cases where mention syntax appears next to symbols.
    • Improved browser window titles used by the app to be clearer.
    • Improved the language in message notification emails explaining why the notification was sent.
    • Improved interface for accessing stream email addresses.
    • Reordered the organization settings panels to be more intuitive.
    • Increased timeout for processing slow requests from 20s to 60s.
    • Removed the "user list in left sidebar in narrow windows" setting.
    • Removed limits that prevented replying to Zulip email notifications multiple times or, several days after receiving them.
    • Fixed numerous bugs and performance issues with the Rocket.Chat data import tool. Improved importing emoji from Slack.
    • Fixed several bugs where drafts could fail to be saved.
    • Fixed a bug where copy-paste would incorrectly copy an entire message.

    • Fixed "mark all as read" requiring a browser reload.
    • Major improvements to our documentation for setting up the development environment and for joining the project as a new contributor.
    • Extracted several JavaScript modules to share code with the mobile app.
    • Replaced several Python linters with Ruff, an incredibly fast Python linter written in Rust.
    • Upgraded many third-party dependencies including Django 4.1, and substantially modernized the Python codebase.

    Upgrade notes for 6.0

    • Installations using [docker-zulip][docker-zulip] will need to upgrade Postgres before upgrading to Zulip 6.0, because the previous default of Postgres 10 is no longer supported by this release.
    • Installations using the AzureAD authentication backend will need to update /etc/zulip/zulip-secrets.conf after upgrading. The azure_oauth2_secret secret was renamed to social_auth_azuread_oauth2_secret, to match our other external authentication methods.
    • This release contains an expensive migration, 0419_backfill_message_realm, which adds data to a new realm column in the message table. Expect it to run for 10-15 minutes per million messages in the database. The new column is not yet used in this release, so this migration can be run in the background for installations hoping to avoid extended downtime.
    • Custom profile fields with "Pronouns" in their name and the "short text" field type were converted to the new "Pronouns" field type.

Zulip Server 5.0 through 5.6 checked SCIM bearer tokens using a comparator that did not run in constant time.

    5.3 -- 2022-06-21

    • CVE-2022-31017: Fixed message edit event exposure in protected-history streams. Zulip allows a stream to be configured as private with protected history, which means that new subscribers should only see messages sent after they join. However, due to a logic bug in Zulip Server 2.1.0 through 5.2, when a message was edited, the server would incorrectly send an API event that included both the edited and old content of the message to all of the stream’s current subscribers, regardless of whether they could see the original message. The impact of this issue was reduced by the fact that this API event is ignored by official clients, so it could only be observed by a user using a modified client or their browser’s developer tools.
    • Adjusted upgrade steps to cause servers using PostgreSQL 14 to upgrade to PostgreSQL 14.4, which fixes an important potential database corruption issue.

    • Added a --skip-restart flag to upgrade-zulip which prepares the new version, but does not restart the server into it.
    • Stopped mirroring the entire remote Git repository directly into /srv/zulip.git. This mirroring removed local branches and confused the state of previous deployments.
    • Fixed a bug which could cause the delete_old_unclaimed_attachments command-line tool to remove attachments that were still referenced by deleted (but not yet permanently removed) messages.
    • Stopped enabling USE_X_FORWARDED_HOST by default, which was generally unneeded; the proxy documentation now clarifies when it is necessary.
    • Fixed the nginx configuration to include the default system-level nginx modules.
    • Only attempt to fix the certbot SSL renewal configuration if HTTPS is enabled; this addresses a regression in Zulip Server 5.2, where the upgrade would fail if an improperly configured certificate existed, but was both expired and not in use.
    • Improved proxy and database backup documentation.

  • 5.2(May 4, 2022)

    • Fixed a performance regression in the UI, introduced in 5.0, when opening the compose box.
    • Fixed a bug which could intermittently cause URL previews to fail, if Zulip was being run in Docker or in low-memory environments.
    • Fixed an issue which would cause PostgreSQL 10 and PostgreSQL 11 to attempt to write each WAL log to S3, even if S3 WAL backups/replication were not configured.
    • Fixed an issue which prevented the SCIM integration from deactivating users.
    • Fixed a bug that resulted in an “You unsubscribed” notice incorrectly appearing when new messages arrived in a topic being viewed via a “near” link.
    • Fixed digest emails being incorrectly sent if a user was deactivated after the digest was enqueued but before it was processed.
    • Fixed warning about EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD being unset when explicitly set to empty.
    • Fixed incomplete tracebacks when timeouts happen during Markdown rendering.
    • Fixed some older versions of Zulip Server not being considered when comparing for the likely original version of settings.py.
    • Stopped using the database_password if it is set but database_user is not.
    • Stopped trying to fix LetsEncrypt certificate configuration if they were not currently in use.
    • Sorted and prettified the output of the check-database-compatibility tool.
    • Split the large zerver/lib/actions.py file into many files under zerver/actions/. This non-functional change was backported to ensure it remains easy to backport other changes.
    • Updated documentation to reflect that current mobile apps are only guaranteed to be compatible with Zulip Server 3.0 and later; they may also work with earlier versions, with a degraded experience.

    • Prevented an extraneous scrollbar when a notification banner was present across the top.
    • Fixed installation in LXC containers, which failed due to chrony not being runnable there.
    • Prevented a "push notifications not configured" warning from appearing in the new user default settings panel even when push notifications were configured.
    • Fixed a bug which, in uncommon configurations, would prevent Tornado from being restarted during upgrades; users would be able to log in, but would immediately be logged out.
    • Updated translations.

  • 5.0(Mar 29, 2022)

    5.0 -- 2022-03-29

    Highlights

    • New resolve topic feature allows marking topics as ✔ completed. It’s a lightweight way to manage a variety of workflows, including support interactions, answering questions, and investigating issues.
    • Administrators may enable the option to create web-public streams. Web-public streams can be viewed by anyone on the Internet without creating an account in your organization.
    • Users can now select a status emoji alongside their status message. Status emoji are shown next to the user's name in the sidebars, message feed, and compose box. Animated status emoji will only animate on hover.

    • OpenID Connect joins SAML, LDAP, Google, GitHub, Azure Active Directory, and more as a supported Single Sign-On provider.
    • SAML authentication now supports syncing custom profile fields. Additionally, SAML authentication now supports automatic account creation and IdP-initiated logout.
    • Added SCIM integration for synchronizing accounts with an external user database.
    • Added support for installation on ARM platforms (including Mac M1).
    • Removed support for Ubuntu 18.04, which no longer receives upstream security support for key Zulip dependencies.

    Upgrade notes for 5.0

    • This release contains a migration, 0009_confirmation_expiry_date_backfill, that can take several minutes to run on a server with millions of messages of history.
    • The TERMS_OF_SERVICE and PRIVACY_POLICY settings have been removed in favor of a system that supports additional policy documents, such as a code of conduct. See the updated documentation for the new system.

    • CVE-2022-24751: Zulip Server 4.0 and above were susceptible to a race condition during user deactivation, where a simultaneous access by the user being deactivated may, in rare cases, allow continued access by the deactivated user. This access could theoretically continue until one of the following events happens:
      • The session expires from memcached; this defaults to two weeks, and is controlled by SESSION_COOKIE_AGE in /etc/zulip/settings.py
      • The session cache is evicted from memcached by other cached data.
      • The server is upgraded, which clears the cache.

    • Fixed a bug with the reindex-textual-data tool, where it would sometimes fail to find the libraries it needed.
    • Pin PostgreSQL to 10.19, 11.14, 12.9, 13.5 or 14.1 to avoid a regression which caused deploys with PGroonga enabled to unpredictably fail database queries with the error variable not found in subplan target list.

  • 4.9(Jan 25, 2022)

    • CVE-2021-43799: Remote execution of code involving RabbitMQ.
    • Closed access to RabbitMQ port 25672; initial installs tried to close this port, but failed to restart RabbitMQ for the configuration.
    • Removed the rabbitmq.nodename configuration in zulip.conf; all RabbitMQ instances will be reconfigured to have a nodename of [email protected]. You can remove this setting from your zulip.conf configuration file, if it exists.
    • Added missing support for the Camo image proxy in the Docker image. This resolves a longstanding issue with image previews, if enabled, appearing as broken images for Docker-based installs.
    • Fixed a bug which allowed a user to edit a message to add a wildcard mention when they did not have permissions to send such messages originally.
    • Fixed a bug in the tool that corrects database corruption caused by updating the operating system hosting PostgreSQL, which previously omitted some indexes from its verification. If you updated the operating system of your Zulip instance from Ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04, or from Debian Stretch to Debian Buster, you should run the tool, even if you did so previously; full details and instructions are available in the previous blog post.
    • Began routing requests from the Camo image proxy through a non-Smokescreen proxy, if one is configured; because Camo includes logic to deny access to private subnets, routing its requests through Smokescreen is generally not necessary.
    • Fixed a bug where changing the Camo secret required running zulip-puppet-apply.
    • Fixed scripts/setup/compare-settings-to-template to be able to run from any directory.
    • Switched Let's Encrypt renewal to use its own timer, rather than our custom cron job. This fixes a bug where occasionally nginx would not reload after getting an updated certificate.
    • Updated documentation and tooling to note that installs using upgrade-zulip-from-git require 3 GB of RAM, or 2 GB and at least 1 GB of swap.

    zulip-server-4.9.tar.gz(80.67 MB)
  • 4.8(Dec 1, 2021)

    • CVE-2021-43791: Zulip could fail to enforce expiration dates on confirmation keys, allowing users to potentially use expired invitations, self-registrations, or realm creation links.
    • Began installing Smokescreen to harden Zulip against SSRF attacks by default. Zulip has offered Smokescreen as an option since Zulip 4.0. Existing installs which configured an outgoing proxy which is not on localhost:4750 will continue to use that; all other installations will begin having a Smokescreen installation listening on 127.0.0.1, which Zulip will proxy traffic through. The version of Smokescreen was also upgraded.
    • Replaced the camo image proxy with go-camo, a maintained reimplementation that also protects against SSRF attacks. This server now listens only on 127.0.0.1 when it is deployed as part of a standalone deployment.
    • Began using camo for images displayed in URL previews. This improves privacy and also resolves an issue where an image link to a third party server with an expired or otherwise invalid SSL certificate would trigger a confusing pop-up window for Zulip Desktop users.
    • Fixed a bug which could cause Tornado to shut down improperly (causing an immediate full-page reload for their clients) when restarting a heavily loaded Zulip server.
    • Updated Python dependencies.
    • Truncated large “remove” mobile notification events so that marking hundreds of private messages or other notifiable messages as read at once won’t exceed Apple’s 4 KB notification size limit.
    • Slack importer improvements:
      • Ensured that generated fake email addresses for Slack bots are unique.
      • Added support for importing Slack exports from a directory, not just a .zip file.
      • Provided better error messages with invalid Slack tokens.
      • Added support for non-ASCII Unicode folder names on Windows.
    • Add support for V3 Pagerduty webhook.
    • Updated documentation for Apache SSO, which now requires additional configuration now that Zulip uses a C extension (the re2 module).
    • Fixed a bug where an empty name in a SAML response would raise an error.
    • Ensured that deliver_scheduled_emails and deliver_scheduled_messages did not double-deliver if run on multiple servers at once.
    • Extended Certbot troubleshooting documentation.
    • Fixed a bug in soft deactivation catch-up code, in cases where a race condition had created multiple subscription deactivation entries for a single user and single stream in the audit log.
    • Updated translations, including adding a Sinhala translation.

    4.6 -- 2021-09-23

    • Documented official support for Debian 11 Bullseye, now that it is officially released by Debian upstream.
    • Fixed installation on Debian 10 Buster. Upstream infrastructure had broken the Python virtualenv tool on this platform, which we've worked around for this release.
    • Zulip releases are now distributed from https://download.zulip.com/server/, replacing the old www.zulip.org server.
    • Added support for LDAP synchronization of the is_realm_owner and is_moderator flags.
    • upgrade-zulip-from-git now uses git fetch --prune; this ensures upgrade-zulip-from-git master with return an error rather than using a stale cached version of the master branch, which was renamed to main this month.
    • Added a new reset_authentication_attempt_count management command to allow sysadmins to manually reset authentication rate limits.
    • Fixed a bug that caused the upgrade-postgresql tool to incorrectly remove supervisord configuration for process-fts-updates.
    • Fixed a rare migration bug when upgrading from Zulip versions 2.1 and older.
    • Fixed a subtle bug where the left sidebar would show both old and new names for some topics that had been renamed.
    • Fixed incoming email gateway support for configurations with the http_only setting enabled.
    • Fixed issues where Zulip's outgoing webhook, with the Slack-compatible interface, had a different format from Slack's documented interface.
    • The installation and upgrade documentations now show the latest release's version number.
    • Backported many improvements to the ReadTheDocs documentation.

    • Added a tool to fix potential database corruption caused by host OS upgrades.
    • Fixed a possible denial-of-service attack in Markdown fenced code block parsing.
    • Smokescreen, if installed, now defaults to only listening on 127.0.0.1; this prevents it from being used as an open HTTP proxy if it did not have other firewalls protecting incoming port 4750.
    • Fixed a performance/scalability issue for installations using the S3 file uploads backend.
    • Fixed a bug where users could turn other users’ messages they could read into widgets (e.g. polls).
    • Fixed a bug where emoji and avatar image requests were sent through Camo; doing so does not add any security benefit, and broke custom emoji that had been imported from Slack in Zulip 1.8.1 or earlier.
    • Changed to log just a warning, instead of an exception, in the case that the embed_links worker cannot fetch previews for all links in a message within the 30-second timeout. Each preview request within a message already has a 15-second timeout.
    • Ensured psycopg2 is installed before starting process_fts_updates; otherwise, it might fail to start several times before the package was installed.
    • Worked around a bug in supervisor where, when using SysV init, /etc/init.d/supervisor restart would only have stopped, not restarted, the process.
    • Modified upgrade scripts to better handle failure, and suggest next steps and point to logs.
    • Zulip now hides the “show password” eye icon that IE and Edge browsers place in password inputs; this duplicated the already-present JavaScript-based functionality.
    • Fixed “OR” glitch on login page if SAML authentication is enabled but not configured.
    • The send_test_email management command now shows the full SMTP conversation on failure.
    • Provided a change_password management command which takes a --realm option.
    • Fixed upgrade-zulip-from-git crashing in CSS source map generation on 1-CPU systems.
    • Added an auto_signup field in SAML configuration to auto-create accounts upon first login attempt by users which are authenticated by SAML.
    • Provided better error messages when puppet_classes in zulip.conf are mistakenly space-separated instead of comma-separated.
    • Updated translations for many languages.

    4.0 -- 2021-05-13

    Highlights

    • Code blocks now have a copy-to-clipboard button and can be integrated with external code playgrounds, making it convenient to work with code while discussing it in Zulip.
    • Added a new organization Moderator role. Many permissions settings for sensitive features now support only allowing moderators and above to use the feature.
    • Added a native Giphy integration for sending animated GIFs.
    • Added support for muting another user.
    • Recent topics is no longer beta, no longer an overlay, supports composing messages, and is now the default view. The previous default view, "All messages", is still available, and the default view can now be configured via "Display settings".
    • Completed API documentation for Zulip's real-time events system. It is now possible to write a decent Zulip client with minimal interaction with the Zulip server development team.
    • Added new organization settings: wildcard mention policy.
    • Integrated Smokescreen, an outgoing proxy designed to help protect against SSRF attacks; outgoing HTTP requests that can be triggered by end users are routed through this service. We recommend that self-hosted installations configure it.
    • This release contains more than 30 independent changes to the Zulip API, largely to support new features or make the API (and thus its documentation) clearer and easier for clients to implement. Other new API features support better error handling for the mobile and terminal apps.
    • The frontend internationalization library was switched from i18next to FormatJS.
    • The button for replying was redesigned to show the reply recipient and be more obvious to users coming from other chat apps.
    • Added support for moving topics to private streams, and for configuring which roles can move topics between streams.

    Upgrade notes for 4.0

    • Changed the Tornado service to use 127.0.0.1:9800 instead of 127.0.0.1:9993 as its default network address, to simplify support for multiple Tornado processes. Since Tornado only listens on localhost, this change should have no visible effect unless another service is using port 9800.
    • Zulip's top-level puppet classes have been renamed, largely from zulip::foo to zulip::profile::foo. Configuration referencing these /etc/zulip/zulip.conf will be automatically updated during the upgrade process, but if you have a complex deployment or you maintain zulip.conf is another system (E.g. with the manual configuration option for docker-zulip), you'll want to manually update the puppet_classes variable.
    • Zulip's supervisord configuration now lives in /etc/supervisor/conf.d/zulip/
    • Consider enabling Smokescreen
    • Private streams can no longer be default streams (i.e. the ones new users are automatically added to).
    • New scripts/start-server and scripts/stop-server mean that one no longer needs to use supervisorctl directly for these tasks.
    • As this is a major release, we recommend carefully updating the inline documentation in your /etc/zulip/settings.py. Notably, we rewrote the template to be better organized and more readable in this release.
    • The webapp will now display a warning in the UI if the Zulip server has not been upgraded in more than 18 months. template to be better organized and more readable.
    • The next time users log in to Zulip with their password after upgrading to this release, they will be logged out of all active browser sessions (i.e. the web and desktop apps). This is a side effect of improved security settings (increasing the minimum entropy used when salting passwords from 71 bits to 128 bits).
    • We've removed the partial Thumbor integration from Zulip. The Thumbor project appears to be dead upstream, and we no longer feel comfortable including it in Zulip from a security perspective. We hope to introduce a fully supported thumbnailing integration in our next major release.

    Full feature changelog

  • 3.4(Apr 14, 2021)

    • CVE-2021-30487: Prevent administrators from moving topics to disallowed streams.
    • CVE-2021-30479: Prevent guest user access to all_public_streams API.
    • CVE-2021-30478: Prevent API super users from forging messages to other organizations.
    • CVE-2021-30477: Prevent outgoing webhook bots from sending arbitrary messages to any stream.
    • Fixed a potential HTML injection bug in outgoing emails.
    • Fixed Postfix configuration error which would prevent outgoing email to any email address containing ., +, or starting with mm, when configured to use the local Postfix to deliver outgoing email.
    • Fixed a backporting error which caused the manage.py change_user_role tool to not work for admin, member, or guest roles.

  • 3.3(Dec 1, 2020)

    • Guest users should not be allowed to post to streams marked “Only organization full members can post.” This flaw has existed since the feature was added in Zulip Server 3.0.
    • Permit outgoing mail from postfix; this resolves a bug introduced in Zulip Server 3.2 which prevented Zulip from sending outgoing mail if the local mail server (used mostly for incoming mail) was also used for outgoing email (MAIL_HOST='localhost').
    • Ensure that the upgrade-postgres tool upgrades the cluster’s data to the specific PostgreSQL version requested; this resolves a bug where, now that PostgreSQL 13 has been released, upgrade-postgres would attempt to upgrade to that version and not PostgreSQL 12.
    • Replace the impenetrably-named ./manage.py knight with ./manage.py change_user_role, and extend it to support “Organization owner” roles.
    • Handle realm emojis that have been manually deleted more gracefully.

  • 3.2(Sep 15, 2020)

    3.2 -- September 15, 2020

    • Switched from libmemcached to python-binary-memcached, a pure-Python implementation; this should eliminate memcached connection problems affecting some installations.
    • Removed unnecessary django-cookies-samesite dependency, which had its latest release removed from PyPI (breaking installation of Zulip 3.1).
    • Limited which local email addresses Postfix accepts when the incoming email integration is enabled; this prevents the enumeration of local users via the email system.
    • Fixed incorrectly case-sensitive email validation in REMOTE_USER authentication.
    • Fixed search results for has:image.
    • Fixed ability to adjust "Who can post on the stream" configuration.
    • Fixed display of "Permission [to post] will be granted in n days" for n > 365.
    • Support providing nginx_listen_port setting in conjunction with http_only in zulip.conf.
    • Improved upgrade documentation.
    • Removed internal ID lists which could leak into the events API.
