The mail class seems to handle mails sent with Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
somewhat weirdly: It decodes them (to utf-8), changes the raw source to base64,
and does not modify the Content-Type:charset= header.
This leads to Discourse trying the message encoding (in my example ISO-8859-1)
first, and if that does not contain any unparseable characters, it uses that.
Sadly, in ISO-8859-1, every byte sequence is valid.
Fix this by always trying to decode as UTF-8 first. The probability of someone
using another encoding that cleanly (but wrongly) decodes as UTF-8 should be
fairly low.
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
- avoid access denied on bad cookie, instead just nuke it
- avoid marking a token unseen for first minute post rotation
- log path in user auth token logs
Add a sortable mappings list to match other endpoints and so that you
don't have to use database column names.
Example: 'created' => 'created_at'
Also cleaned up some of the logic since a lot of it got moved into the
SORTABLE_MAPPING hash.
Added order and direction parameters for sorting admin user pages. This
commit only includes backend api changes.
https://meta.discourse.org/t/make-admin-users-list-sortable-suggestion/47649
Now you can pass in `order` and `asc` parameters to the
`/admin/users/list/<query>.json` endpoint.
Example:
`/admin/users/list/active.json?&order=post_count` which defaults to desc
and
`/admin/users/list/active.json?order=post_count&asc=true`
FIX: client's translation overrides were not working when the current locale was missing a key
FIX: ExtraLocalesController.show was not properly handling multiple translations
FIX: JsLocaleHelper#output_locale was not properly handling multiple translations
FIX: ExtraLocalesController.show's spec which was randomly failing
FIX: JsLocaleHelper#output_locale was muting cached translations hashes
REFACTOR: move 'enableVerboseLocalization' to the 'localization' initializer
REFACTOR: remove unused I18n.js methods (getFallbacks, localize, parseDate, toTime, strftime, toCurrency, toPercentage)
REFACTOR: remove all I18n.pluralizationRules and instead use MessageFormat's pluralization rules
TEST: add tests for localization initializer
TEST: add tests for I18n.js
Defaults to Lax, can be disabled or set to Strict.
Strict will only work if you require login and use SSO. Otherwise when clicking on links to your site you will appear logged out till you refresh the page.
It appears that in some cases ios queues up requests up front
and "releases" them when tab gets focus, this allows for a certain
number of cookie misses for this case. Otherwise you get logged off.
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.
Rails yanked out observers many many years ago, instead the functionality
was yanked out to a gem that is very lightly maintained.
For example: if we want to upgrade to rails 5 there is no published gem
Internally the usage of observers had quite a few problem.
The series of refactors renamed a bunch of classes to give us more clarity
and removed some magic.
