Highlights for developers
-
The representation of narrows, and particularly of PM conversations, has been greatly refactored. It should now be much simpler to write and understand code dealing with them, and especially to write it without introducing subtle bugs. (PRs #4382, #4368, #4364, #4361, #4356, #4346, #4342, #4339, #4335, #4332, #4330)
- A new Narrow type straightforwardly follows the structure of the information we're representing, in place of the old data structures which mirrored the wire format for the much more complex get-messages API of the server. (PRs #4346, #4342, #4339)
- PM conversations are represented with the users' IDs, not emails. (PR #4382, PR #4346)
- The
recipientmodule offers a suite of functions for explicitly translating between the remaining different ways that different data structures encode PM conversations. (#4035, PR #4356, PR #4335, PR #4332)
-
We now use GitHub Actions for our CI, instead of Travis CI. This should be a much more stable platform; it's faster (builds take about 8-9 minutes, vs. 9-12 minutes on Travis); and it may also help us make it run faster still and produce clearer output. (#4174)
-
Sentry error reports now include the Zulip server version. (#3745)
-
Developer scripts now support NixOS (by using
#!/usr/bin/env.) (PR #4366) -
