This adds the markdown.it engine to Discourse.
https://github.com/markdown-it/markdown-it
As the migration is going to take a while the new engine is default
disabled. To enable it you must change the hidden site setting:
enable_experimental_markdown_it.
This commit is a squash of many other commits, it also includes some
improvements to autospec (ability to run plugins), and a dev dependency
on the og gem for html normalization.
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
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.
* Update sass-rails.
* FIX: Tilt dependency has been removed from Ember::Handlebars::Template.
* Update `DiscourseIIFE` to new Sprockets API.
* `Rails.application.assets` returns `nil` in production.
* Move sprockets-rails out of the assets group.
* Pin ember-rails to 0.18.5 which works with Sprockets 3.x.
* Update sprockets to 3.6.0.
* Make `DiscourseSassCompiler` work with Sprockets 3.
* Use `Sass::Rails::SassImporterGlobbing` instead of haxxing our own.
* Moneky patch so that we don't add dependencies for our custom css.
* FIX: Missing class.
* Upgrade ember-handlebars-template.
* FIX: require path needs to share the same root as the folder's path.
* Bump discourse-qunit-rails.
* Update ember-template-compiler.js to 1.12.2.
* `prepend` is private in Ruby 2.0.0.
FIX: keep the "uploading..." indicator until the server replies via the MessageBus
FIX: text was disapearing when uploading an avatar
PERF: always use a region for S3 (defaults to 'us-east-1')
FEATURE: ApplyCDN middleware when using S3
FIX: use the same pattern to store files on S3 and locally
PERF: keep a local cache of uploads when generating thumbnails
FEATURE: migrate_to_s3 rake task
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
