New plugins:
* LRDD
LRDD implements client-side RFC6415 and RFC7033 resource descriptor
discovery procedures. I.e. LRDD, host-meta and WebFinger stuff.
OStatus and OpenID now depend on the LRDD plugin (XML_XRD).
* WebFinger
This plugin implements the server-side of RFC6415 and RFC7033. Note:
WebFinger technically doesn't handle XRD, but we serve both that and
JRD (JSON Resource Descriptor), depending on Accept header and one
ugly hack to check for old StatusNet installations.
WebFinger depends on LRDD.
We might make this even prettier by using Net_WebFinger, but it is not
currently RFC7033 compliant (no /.well-known/webfinger resource GETs).
Disabling the WebFinger plugin would effectively render your site non-
federated (which might be desired on a private site).
Disabling the LRDD plugin would make your site unable to do modern web
URI lookups (making life just a little bit harder).
getUser calls are much more strict, and one place where this was found was
in the (un)subscribe start/end event handlers, which resulted in making the
Subscription class a bit stricter, regarding ::start and ::cancel at least.
Several minor fixes in many files were made due to this.
This does NOT touch the Foreign_link function, which should also have a more
strict getUser call. That is a future project.
I used this hacky sed-command (run it from your GNU Social root, or change the first grep's path to where it actually lies) to do a rough fix on all ::staticGet calls and rename them to ::getKV
sed -i -s -e '/DataObject::staticGet/I!s/::staticGet/::getKV/Ig' $(grep -R ::staticGet `pwd`/* | grep -v -e '^extlib' | grep -v DataObject:: |grep -v "function staticGet"|cut -d: -f1 |sort |uniq)
If you're applying this, remember to change the Managed_DataObject and Memcached_DataObject function definitions of staticGet to getKV!
This might of course take some getting used to, or modification fo StatusNet plugins, but the result is that all the static calls (to staticGet) are now properly made without breaking PHP Strict Standards. Standards are there to be followed (and they caused some very bad confusion when used with get_called_class)
Reasonably any plugin or code that tests for the definition of 'GNUSOCIAL' or similar will take this change into consideration.
The parent class for our database objects, Managed_DataObject, has a
dynamically assigned class in staticGet which objects get put into,
leaving us with less code to do the same thing.
We will probably have to move away from the DB_DataObject 'staticGet'
call as it is nowadays deprecated.
It may be a bad experience for new users to immediately when trying
out the service be asked for their geographical position. Instead,
let them opt-in for this behaviour.
User::getTaggedSubscriptions()
This change escapes the $tag argument to prevent a SQL injection
attack in User::getTaggedSubscriptions(). The parameter was not
escaped higher up the stack, so this vulnerability could be exploited.
This change escapes the argument to User::getTaggedSubscribers() to
prevent SQL injection attacks.
Both code paths up the stack fail to escape this parameter, so this is
a potential SQL injection attack.
L10n/i18n updates.
Superfluous whitespace removed.
Add FIXME for a few i18n issues I couldn't solve this quickly.
Takes care of documentation for all core code added in merge of "people tags" feature (Commit:e75c9988ebe33822e493ac225859bc593ff9b855).
We've been muddling through with 6- or 8-argument functions for managing streams. I'd
like to start thinking of streams as their own thing, and give them some more value.
So, the new NoticeStream class takes over the Notice::stream() function and Notice::getStreamByIds().
There's probably some fine-tuning to do on the object interface.
