We have no way of detecting if a browser window is behind another window
or off screen on a virtual desktop.
In some cases we may want events to be delivered quicker to the browser.
Specifically a user may still have a window in view but is not interacting.
This gives users 20 minutes of extra "long polling time" prior to shifting
to short polling.
Even though `type` is an alias for `method`, we have custom logic in `/discourse/lib/ajax` that checks only `type`, and ~200 other ajax calls in the codebase already use `type` param.
* FIX: Perform crop using user-specified image sizes
It used to resize the images to max width and height first and then
perform the crop operation. This is wrong because it ignored the user
specified image sizes from the Markdown.
* DEV: Use real images in test
Previously we would consider a user "present" and "last seen" if the
browser window was visible.
This has many edge cases, you could be considered present and around for
days just by having a window open and no screensaver on.
Instead we now also check that you either clicked, transitioned around app
or scrolled the page in the last minute in combination with window
visibility
This will lead to more reliable notifications via email and reduce load of
message bus for cases where a user walks away from the terminal
If the “secure media” site setting is enabled then ALL files uploaded to Discourse (images, video, audio, pdf, txt, zip etc. etc.) will follow the secure media rules. The “prevent anons from downloading files” setting will no longer have any bearing on upload security. Basically, the feature will more appropriately be called “secure uploads” instead of “secure media”.
This is being done because there are communities out there that would like all attachments and media to be secure based on category rules but still allow anonymous users to download attachments in public places, which is not possible in the current arrangement.

* Implement the resolvedTimezone() function on the user model where we return the user's timezone if it has been set, or we guess it using moment and save it to the user using an update call if it has not yet been set. This covers the cases of users who do not log out/in often who will not get their timezone set via login. This also makes sure the guess + save is done in a non-obtrusive way not on every page -- only when it is needed.
* Before if a user's timezone was blank when they visited their profile page we were autofilling the dropdown with the guessed timezone from moment. However this was confusing as it would appear you have that timezone saved in the DB when you really didn't. Now we do not autofill the dropdown and added a button to automatically guess the current timezone to make everything more explicit.
Limitations: the user profile "open external links in new tab setting" is
slightly broken for "External URL" permalinks.
Remove the copy from the admin permalinks page stating that this doesn't work.
