This feature introduces the concept of themes. Themes are an evolution
of site customizations.
Themes introduce two very big conceptual changes:
- A theme may include other "child themes", children can include grand
children and so on.
- A theme may specify a color scheme
The change does away with the idea of "enabled" color schemes.
It also adds a bunch of big niceties like
- You can source a theme from a git repo
- History for themes is much improved
- You can only have a single enabled theme. Themes can be selected by
users, if you opt for it.
On a technical level this change comes with a whole bunch of goodies
- All CSS is now compiled using a custom pipeline that uses libsass
see /lib/stylesheet
- There is a single pipeline for css compilation (in the past we used
one for customizations and another one for the rest of the app
- The stylesheet pipeline is now divorced of sprockets, there is no
reliance on sprockets for CSS bundling
- CSS is generated with source maps everywhere (including themes) this
makes debugging much easier
- Our "live reloader" is smarter and avoid a flash of unstyled content
we run a file watcher in "puma" in dev so you no longer need to run
rake autospec to watch for CSS changes
This allows users who entered a typo or invalid email address when
signing up an opportunity to fix it and resending the confirmation
email to that address.
- Regular users are not notified of whispers
- Regular users no longer have "stuck" topics in unread
- Additional tracking for staff highest post number
- Remove a bunch of unused columns in topics table
previously we supported blanket read and write for user API, this
change amends it so we can define more limited scopes. A scope only
covers a few routes. You can not grant access to part of the site and
leave a large amount of the information hidden to API consumer.
This reduces the number of scans that the db has to do in the query
to fetch orphan uploads. Futheremore, we were not batching our
records which bloats memory.
Also changes behaviour of real to not return anonymous users.
This means user counts will no longer include them, and the
mailing list system will ignore them even if they somehow end up
with the feature turned on.
If force_avatar_update is passed in sso attributes it errors on
force_avatar_update.to_i. The SingleSignOn class forces avatar_force_update
to a boolean, so it should be treated as such.
If a user has a current avatar, and sso_overrides_avatar is true, but no avatar_url is
passed in the sso attributes, the current code errors, as it tries to parse a nil
as a URL. It seems to me valid that a third party system may not pass an avatar_url in
some cases (e.g. avatars may not be mandatory, so not all users may have them)
This might warrant a discussion about what should happen in this case; maybe the current
avatar in discourse should be removed? This branch merely stops the login process erroring.
Due to what seems to be a bug in ActiveRecord, the distinct: true option
is not recognized on counts with string column names. This commit fixes
that by moving the DISTINCT into the count string.
For robustness, the integration spec for IncomingLinksReport was
rewritten to be an actual integration spec, running the actual interface
on actual fake data.
FIX: history revision can now properly be hidden
FIX: PostRevision serializer is now entirely dynamic to properly handle
hidden revisions
FIX: default history modal to "side by side" view on mobile
FIX: properly hiden which revision has been hidden
UX: inline category/user/wiki/post_type changes with the revision

FEATURE: new '/posts/:post_id/revisions/latest' endpoint to retrieve
latest revision
UX: do not show the hide/show revision button on mobile (no room for
them)
UX: remove CSS transitions on the buttons in the history modal
FIX: PostRevisor now handles all the changes that might create new
revisions
FIX: PostRevision.ensure_consistency! was wrong due to off by 1
mistake...
refactored topic's callbacks for better readability
extracted 'PostRevisionGuardian'
Changed internals so trust levels are referred to with
TrustLevel[1], TrustLevel[2] etc.
This gives us much better flexibility naming trust levels, these names
are meant to be controlled by various communities.
- Adds the advanced option to accept email from non-users per category email-address
- Adds tests covering the new feature
