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.
* 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
Slugs can be the empty string, but the added index didn't account for
that. This commit changes the migration, stopping it from being unique
so that it can be applied everywhere and adds another migration that
recreates the index properly.
This feature amends it so instead of using one challenge and honeypot
statically per site we have a rotating honeypot and challenge value which
changes every hour.
This means you must grab a fresh copy of honeypot and challenge value once
an hour or account registration will be rejected.
We also now cycle the value of the challenge when after successful account
registration forcing an extra call to hp.json between account registrations
Client has been made aware of these changes.
Additionally this contains a JavaScript workaround for:
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=987293
This is client side code that is specific to Chrome user agent and swaps
a PASSWORD type honeypot with a TEXT type honeypot.
When a category has a subcategory, we ensure that no one who can see the
subcategory cannot see the parent. However, we don't take into account
the fact that, when no CategoryGroups exist, the default is that
everyone has full permissions.
Moving posts also moves the read state (`topic_users` table) to the destination topic. This changes that behavior so that only users who posted in the destination topic will have the original notification level (probably "watching") of the original topic. The notification level for all other users will be set to "regular".
When an admin changes the site setting slug_generation_method to
encoded, we weren't really encoding the slug, but just allowing non-ascii
characters in the slug (unicode).
That brings problems when a user posts a link to topic without the slug, as
our topic controller tries to redirect the user to the correct URL that contains
the slug with unicode characters. Having unicode in the Location header in a
response is a RFC violation and some browsers end up in a redirection loop.
Bug report: https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/125371?u=falco
This commit also checks if a site uses encoded slugs and clear all saved slugs
in the db so they can be regenerated using an onceoff job.
