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
Revamped system for managing authentication tokens.
- Every user has 1 token per client (web browser)
- Tokens are rotated every 10 minutes
New system migrates the old tokens to "legacy" tokens,
so users still remain logged on.
Also introduces weekly job to expire old auth tokens.
Adds a "Step 0" to the wizard if the site has no admin accounts where
the user is prompted to finish setting up their admin account from the
list of acceptable email addresses.
Once confirmed, the wizard begins.

This takes effect when an interpolation is removed from a translation in
a Discourse update.
The I18n::Backend::Fallbacks loops with a catch(:exception), so calling
throw(:exception) will cause it to use the next locale, until it reaches
English which is assumed to be correct.
Also, enable fallbacks in everything except development (#3724 for more
discussion) - we should be able to test this
The FallbackLocaleList object tells I18n::Backend::Fallbacks what order the
languages should be attempted in. Because of the translate_accelerator patch,
the SiteSetting.default_locale is *not* guaranteed to be fully loaded after the
server starts, so a call to ensure_loaded! is added after the locale is set for
the current user.
The declarations of config.i18n.fallbacks = true in the environment files were
actually garbage, because the I18n.default_locale was
SiteSetting.default_locale, so there was nothing to fall back to. *derp*
To fully enable session deletion over CORS we need support for passing the
`X-Requested-With` header so that these requests can pass the `check-xhr` filter.
I also allowed the `X-CSRF-Token` to enable the alternative CSRF passing syntax.
Like that we can have code that works on multiple Rails versions, and we
dont need to mix a new method on Kernel.
Also, this makes easier to have multiple versions.
For instance, before master was 4.2, which is not the case anymore, so
on the code we should check versions and not Environment variables
