- Use cookies + CSRF token for API authentication in the default client. This mitigates potential XSS attacks by making the token unavailable to JavaScript. The Authorization header is still supported, but not used by default.
- Make sensitive/destructive actions (editing a user, permanently deleting anything, visiting the admin CP) require the user to re-enter their password if they haven't entered it in the last 30 minutes.
- Refactor and clean up the authentication middleware.
- Add an `onhide` hook to the Modal component. (+1 squashed commit)
Extracts strings that were missed previously in:
- Dashboard page of admin interface.
- Edit Custom CSS modal of admin interface.
- Settings modal of admin interface.
- Post activity list on user page of forum UI.
Hopefully there aren't any more!
As of 25932cf, the back button was no longer shown if the user came in directly to a discussion. This caused problems on mobile where it was kind of hard to get back home without the button.
The default XHR error handler produce an alert which is appropriate to the response status code. It can be overridden per-request (by specifying the `errorHandler` option) so that the alert can be suppressed or displayed in a different position (e.g. inside a modal).

We now use Symfony's Translation component. Yay! We get more powerful pluralisation and better a fallback mechanism. Will want to implement the caching mechanism at some point too. The API is replicated in JavaScript, which could definitely use some testing.
Validators have been refactored so that they are decoupled from models completely (i.e. they simply validate arrays of user input). Language packs should include Laravel's validation messages.
ref #267
- Reorganised all namespaces and class names for consistency and structure. Following PSR bylaws (Abstract prefix, Interface/Trait suffix).
- Move models into root of Core, because writing `use Flarum\Core\Discussion` is nice. Namespace the rest by type. (Namespacing by entity was too arbitrary.)
- Moved some non-domain stuff out of Core: Database, Formatter, Settings.
- Renamed config table and all references to "settings" for consistency.
- Remove Core class and add url()/isInstalled()/inDebugMode() as instance methods of Foundation\Application.
- Cleanup, docblocking, etc.
- Improvements to HTTP architecture
- API and forum/admin Actions are now actually all the same thing (simple PSR-7 Request handlers), renamed to Controllers.
- Upgrade to tobscure/json-api 0.2 branch.
- Where possible, moved generic functionality to tobscure/json-api (e.g. pagination links). I'm quite happy with the backend balance now re: #262
- Improvements to other architecture
- Use Illuminate's Auth\Access\Gate interface/implementation instead of our old Locked trait. We still use events to actually determine the permissions though. Our Policy classes are actually glorified event subscribers.
- Extract model validation into Core\Validator classes.
- Make post visibility permission stuff much more efficient and DRY.
- Renamed Flarum\Event classes for consistency. ref #246
- `Configure` prefix for events dedicated to configuring an object.
- `Get` prefix for events whose listeners should return something.
- `Prepare` prefix when a variable is passed by reference so it can be modified.
- `Scope` prefix when a query builder is passed.
- Miscellaneous improvements/bug-fixes. I'm easily distracted!
- Increase default height of post composer.
- Improve post stream redraw flickering in Safari by keying loading post placeholders with their IDs. ref #451
- Use a PHP JavaScript minification library for minifying TextFormatter's JavaScript, instead of ClosureCompilerService (can't rely on external service!)
- Use UrlGenerator properly in various places. closes#123
- Make Api\Client return Response object. closes#128
- Allow extensions to specify custom icon images.
- Allow external API/admin URLs to be optionally specified in config.php. If the value or "url" is an array, we look for the corresponding path inside. Otherwise, we append the path to the base URL, using the corresponding value in "paths" if present. closes#244
Adds app.trans calls for a couple strings in core:
- The "there are no discussions" message in DiscussionList.js
- The user deletion confirmation message in UserControls.js
- Also adds new HTML-style tags to LogInModal.js and SignUpModal.js
Previously, clicking the "mark all notifications as read" button would individually mark each of the visible notifications as read. Since we now always show a badge with the number of unread notifications, we need to make sure that all notifications (not just the visible ones) can be marked as read. Otherwise it would be possible to get stuck with an unread badge there.
This commit adds a new API endpoint which marks *all* of a user's notifications as read. The JSON-API spec doesn't cover this kind of thing (updating all instances of a certain resource type), so I'm a bit unsure regarding what the endpoint should actually be. For now I've gone with POST /notifications/read, but I'm open to suggestions.
ref #500
Welp, this is probably the most subtle bug I've ever tracked down and fixed.
Turns out that IE has this bug where the "oninput" event will be triggered whenever the "placeholder" attribute is changed. Most placeholders get their value from app.trans. The app.trans method returns a VirtualElement – which is an array, not a string! That means when Mithril's diffing algorithm was comparing the old value to the new value, it was comparing two different array instances, and thus deciding the value was dirty and the placeholder attribute needed to be updated. Due to the IE bug, that was leading to the "oninput" event being triggered... and then through Mithril's auto-redraw mechanism, a redraw would be triggered, and so the cycle continued.
Since the inputs in the LogInModal (among others) only update the component state on the "onchange" event (i.e. when the input loses focus), the intermittent redraws would cause the input's value to be cleared continuously. That's what was causing #464. Could've been easily and superficially patched by changing them to use "oninput" events, but luckily I dived a little deeper!
Glad that's over. Running IE11's buggy dev tools in an underpowered VM isn't fun. Would not recommend.
closes#464
