Under exceptional situations the automatic draft feature can fail.
This new **hidden, default off** site setting
`backup_drafts_to_pm_length` will automatically backup any draft that is
saved by the system to a dedicated PM (originating from self)
The body of that PM will contain the text of the reply.
We can enable this feature strategically on sites exhibiting issues to
diagnose issues with the draft system and offer a recourse to users who
appear to lose drafts. We automatically checkpoint these drafts every 5
minutes forcing a new revision each 5 minutes so you can revert to old
content.
Longer term we are considering automatically enabling this kind of feature
for extremely long drafts where the risk is really high one could lose
days of writing.
This reverts commit ab74a50d85.
We really want to upgrade redis, but discovered some edge cases
around failover we need to test.
Holding off on the upgrade till a bit more testing happens
* FIX: Do not encode the URL twice
Now that we encode slugs in the server we don't need this anymore.
Reverts fe5na33
* FIX: More places do deal with encoded slugs
* the param is a string now, not a hash
* FIX: Handle the nil slug on /categories
* DEV: Add seeded? method to identity default categories
* DEV: Use SiteSetting to keep track of seeded categories
From the better_errors README:
> Better Errors works by leaving a lot of context in server process memory. If you're using a web server that runs multiple "workers" it's likely that a second request (as happens when you click on a stack frame) will hit a different worker. That worker won't have the necessary context in memory, and you'll see a Session Expired message.
After a small conversation, we decided that we can set `public_file_server.enabled` to false in the `test` environment to have the same value as `production`.
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.
If the setting is turned on, then the user will receive information
about the subject: if it was deleted or requires some special access to
a group (only if the group is public). Otherwise, the user will receive
a generic #404 error message. For now, this change affects only the
topics and categories controller.
This commit also tries to refactor some of the code related to error
handling. To make error pages more consistent (design-wise), the actual
error page will be rendered server-side.
Using popups is becoming increasingly rare. Full page redirects are already used on mobile, and for some providers. This commit removes all logic related to popup authentication, leaving only the full page redirect method.

We preload to ensure as much memory as possible is reused from unicorn master
to various workers using copy-on-write (sidekiq, unicorn)
This migrates the preloading code into the Discourse module for easier
reuse and adds 3 notable preloading changes
1. We attempt to localize a string on each site, ensuring we warmup
the i18n
2. We preload all our templates (compiling .erb to class)
3. We warm-up our search tokenizer which uses cppjieba which is a large
memory consumer, this will only cause a warmup on CJK sites or sites with
the special site setting enabled.
* FEATURE: Added input for name when creating a new authenticator in user preferences
* FEATURE: Added placeholders to authenticator inputs
* Ran prettier on second-factor-add-totp.js.es6
* FEATURE: Adds an extra protection layer when decompressing files.
* Rename exporter/importer to zip importer. Update old locale
* Added a new composite class to decompress a file with multiple strategies
* Set max file size inside a site setting
* Ensure that file is deleted after compression
* Sanitize path and files before compressing/decompressing
* Fix broken security key 2FA on mobile login.hbs
* Show nicer error message when a security key already exists
* [COPY] Disable -> Delete for security key editing
* Standardize UI elements in 2FA prefs password confirmation
* Minor fixes to label location for resetPasswordProgress
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.
Adds 2 factor authentication method via second factor security keys over [web authn](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Authentication_API).
Allows a user to authenticate a second factor on login, login-via-email, admin-login, and change password routes. Adds registration area within existing user second factor preferences to register multiple security keys. Supports both external (yubikey) and built-in (macOS/android fingerprint readers).
If dashboard advice has already been acted on, an admin may want to find out what the advice was, who acted on it, and when. Linking to the staff action logs should help in tracking down this information.
The current copy has caused some confusion that admins can only create 5 topics or 30 posts. Update copy to make it clearer this is a recommended minimum, not a limit.
All admins receive the Dashboard Advice PM. If one admin takes action on the advice, future admins who follow the link in the PM will see no advice on the dashboard. This has caused some confusion, so we've updated the text to make this clearer.
This renames the DISCOURSE_ENV_HOST var @eviltrout introduced in 95a9a544
to DISCOURSE_ENV_HOSTS and allows for a comma delimited list of hosts
This is useful for testing plugins and customized host names
This makes sure that all processes that fork off the master have a fully
operation schema cache.
In Rails 6, schema cache is now bolted to the connection pool. This change
ensures the cache on all pools is fully populated prior to forking.
The bolting of cache to connection pool does lead to some strange cases
where a connection can "steal" the cache from another connection, which
can cause stuff to possibly hang or deadlock. This change minimizes the risk
of this happening cause it is already primed.
We make a STRONG assumption that the schema is always the same on all sites
when we spin up a multisite cluster.
Rails 6 seems to introduce a whitelist of allowed hosts. I personally
use `dev.local` for development and this no longer works.
This introduces a new ENV variable, `DISCOURSE_DEV_HOST`. If present,
it will whitelist that host for development mode.
* Adjustments to pass specs on Rails 6.0.0
* Use classic autoloader instead of Zeitwerk
* Update Rails 6.0.0 deprecated methods
* Rails 6.0.0 not allowing column with integer name
* Drop freedom_patches/rails6.rb
* Default value for trigger_transactional_callbacks? is true
* Bump rspec-rails version to 4.0.0.beta2
New site setting: `embed_any_origin` that will send postMessages to
wildcard origins `*` instead of the referer.
Most of the time you won't want to do this, so the setting is default to
`false`. However, there are certain situations where you want to allow
embedding to send post messages when there is no HTTP REFERER.
For example, if you created a native mobile app and you wanted to embed a list
of Discourse topics as HTML. In the code your HTML would be a
static file/string, which would not be able to send a referer. In this
case, the site setting will allow the embed to work.
From a security standpoint we currently only use `postMessage` to send
data about the size of the HTML document and scroll position, so it
should be enable if required with minimal security ramifications.
