Previously we would consider a user "present" and "last seen" if the
browser window was visible.
This has many edge cases, you could be considered present and around for
days just by having a window open and no screensaver on.
Instead we now also check that you either clicked, transitioned around app
or scrolled the page in the last minute in combination with window
visibility
This will lead to more reliable notifications via email and reduce load of
message bus for cases where a user walks away from the terminal
If the “secure media” site setting is enabled then ALL files uploaded to Discourse (images, video, audio, pdf, txt, zip etc. etc.) will follow the secure media rules. The “prevent anons from downloading files” setting will no longer have any bearing on upload security. Basically, the feature will more appropriately be called “secure uploads” instead of “secure media”.
This is being done because there are communities out there that would like all attachments and media to be secure based on category rules but still allow anonymous users to download attachments in public places, which is not possible in the current arrangement.
Rails calls I18n.translate during initialization and by default translation overrides are used. Database migrations would fail if the system tried to migrate from an old version that didn't have the `translation_overrides` table with all its columns yet.
This makes restoring really old backups work again. Running `DISABLE_TRANSLATION_OVERRIDES=1 rake db:migrate` will allow you to upgrade such an old database as well.
* Remove some `.es6` from comments where it does not matter
* Use a post processor for transpilation
This will allow us to eventually use the directory structure to
transpile rather than the extension.
* FIX: Some errors and clean up in confirm-new-email
It would throw an error if the webauthn element wasn't present.
Also I changed things so that no-module is not explicitly
referenced.
* Remove `no-module`
Instead we allow a magic comment: `// discourse-skip-module` to prevent
the asset pipeline from creating a module.
* DEV: Enable babel transpilation based on directory
If it's in `app/assets/javascripts/dicourse` it will be transpiled
even without the `.es6` extension.
* REFACTOR: Remove Tilt/ES6ModuleTranspiler
* FIX: We need to skip users with associated reviewables when auto-approving them
* Update spec/initializers/track_setting_changes_spec.rb
* Update spec/initializers/track_setting_changes_spec.rb

Tracking down concurrency issues from backtraces and manual repros is a fraught process.
Sometimes you've just got to get your hands dirty and do a live debug.
Previously we had many places in the app that called `hostname` to get
hostname of a server. This commit replaces the pattern in 2 ways
1. We cache the result in `Discourse.os_hostname` so it is only ever called once
2. We prefer to use Socket.gethostname which avoids making a shell command
This improves performance as we are not spawning hostname processes throughout
the app lifetime
This is not used in core or official plugins, and has been printing a deprecation notice since v2.3.0beta4. All OpenID 2.0 code and dependencies have been dropped. The user_open_ids table remains for now, in case anyone has missed the deprecation notice, and needs to migrate their data.

Out-of-the-box Oj uses :object mode, this shifts us to use :compat mode
by default which is safer.
It means any de-serialization going forward will default to this mode.
If we wish to serialize or deserialize arbitrary objects going forward with
no json interfaces we will have to opt in.
- Refactor source_url to avoid using eval in development
- Precompile handlebars in development
- Include template compilers when running qunit
- Remove unsafe-eval in development CSP
- Include unsafe-eval only for qunit routes in development
According to the [Rails
Source](https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/activerecord/lib/active_record/railties/databases.rake#L20)
the `ActiveRecord::Migrator.migrations_paths` are overwritten with the
value of `ActiveRecord::Tasks::DatabaseTasks.migrations_paths` every
time the config is loaded.
This caused a bug for Discourse development where if you ran:
`rake db:drop db:create db:migrate` in one line, you would not get our
post migrations, as those had a custom value for `migrations_paths`.
The fix is to use `ActiveRecord::Tasks::DatabaseTasks.migrations_paths`
to set up all our custom paths. Everything seems to work as expected.
Post-zeitwerk, rails has deprecated autoloading modules during
initialization and forces all autoloaded modules to be reloaded after
initialization.
Requiring the file explicitly prevents autoloading and therefore
prevents the state on SiteSetting being trashed which was causing the
problem here.
Zeitwerk simplifies working with dependencies in dev and makes it easier reloading class chains.
We no longer need to use Rails "require_dependency" anywhere and instead can just use standard
Ruby patterns to require files.
This is a far reaching change and we expect some followups here.
Under extreme load on large databases certain regular jobs can take quite
a while to run. We need to ensure we never starve a sidekiq from running
mini scheduler, cause without it we are unable to queue stuff such as
heartbeat jobs.
This adds a 1 minute rate limit to all JS error reporting per IP. Previously
we would only use the global rate limit.
This also introduces DISCOURSE_ENABLE_JS_ERROR_REPORTING, if it is set to
false then no JS error reporting will be allowed on the site.
Previously the default stack suppressor in rack-mini-profiler was excluding
the plugin directory.
This made islolating issues more complicated cause you needed to defer to
pp=full-backtrace which is both slow and noisy
If enabled, this will fire a webhook whenever a user's notification has
been created. This could potentially be a lot of data depending on your
forum, and should be used carefully since it includes everything all users
will see in their feeds.
The message_bus performs a fair amount of work prior to hijacking requests
this change ensures that if there is a situation where the server is flooded
message_bus will inform client to back off for 30 seconds + random(120 secs)
This back-off is ultra cheap and happens very early in the middleware.
It corrects a situation where a flood to message bus could cause the app
to become unresponsive
MessageBus update is here to ensure message_bus gem properly respects
Retry-After header and status 429.
Under normal state this code should never trigger, to disable raise the
value of DISCOURSE_REJECT_MESSAGE_BUS_QUEUE_SECONDS, default is to tell
message bus to go away if we are queueing for 100ms or longer
This is useful when a backup is restored on a staging site or in a development environment. It also deletes all existing push subscriptions because they get invalid when the keys change.
