It seems to have actually been saving correctly, but the update of the colors on the form success page wasn't working properly.
When a design object is pulled out of the database, the numeric fields are read in as strings, so black comes back as "0".
But, when we populate the new object and then stick it live, we've populated it with actual integers; with memcache on these might live for a while in the cache...
The fallback code in Design::toWebColor() did a check ($color == null) which would be false for the string "0", but counts as true for the *integer* 0.
Thus, the display code would initially interpret the correctly-saved black color as "use default".
Changing the check to === against null and "" empty string avoids the false positive on integers, and lets us see our nice black text immediately after save.
* adds Right::CREATEGROUP
* logic in Profile::hasRight() checks for silencing
* NewgroupAction checks for the permission before letting you see or process the form in the UI
* User_group::register() logic does a low-level check on the specified initial group admin, and rejects creation if that user doesn't have the right; guaranteeing that API methods etc will also have this restriction applied sensibly.
Made two new functions, Subscription::bySubscriber() and
Subscription::bySubscribed(), to get streams of Subscription objects.
Converted Profile::getSubscribers() and Profile::getSubscriptions() to
use these functions.
Big thanks to the folks at http://pecl.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=16745 for the secret juju!
Classes were being torn down before session save handlers got called at the end of the request, which exploded with complaints about being unable to find various classes.
Registering a shutdown function lets us explicitly close out the session before everything gets torn down.

We had two ways to generate an activity entry from a notice; one through
Notice::asAtomEntry() and one through Notice::asActivity() and
Activity::asString(). The code paths had already diverged somewhat. I
took the conditions that were in Notice::asAtomEntry() and made sure
they were replicated in the other two functions. Then, I rewrote
Notice::asAtomEntry() to use the other two functions instead.
This change passes the ActivityGenerationTests unit tests, but there
may be some other stuff that's not getting covered.
common_shorten_links() can only access the web session's logged-in user, so never properly took user options into effect for posting via XMPP, API, mail, etc.
Adds an optional $user parameter on common_shorten_links(), and a $user->shortenLinks() as a clearer interface for that.
Tweaked some lower-level functions so $user gets passed down -- making the $notice_id param previously there for saving URLs at notice save time generalized a little.
Note also ticket #2919: there's a lot of duplicate code calling the shortening, checking the length, and reporting near-identical error messages. These should be consolidated to aid in code and translation maintenance.
Code was doing a batch call to $avatar->delete() which fails to properly engage the file deletion code. Calling the existing profile->delete_avatars() function deletes them individually, which makes it all work nice again.
This option may be useful for intranet sites that don't have direct access to the internet, as they may be unable to successfully fetch those resources.
Newly supported:
- TwitPic: added a local function using TwitPic's API, since the oohembed implementation for TwitPic produced invalid output which Services_oEmbed rejects. (bug filed upstream)
Tweaked...
- Flickr: works, now using whitelist to use their endpoint directly instead of going through oohembed
- Youtube: worked around a bug in Services_oEmbed which broke the direct use of API discovery info, so we don't have to use oohembed.
Not currently working...
- YFrog: whitelisting their endpoint directly as the oohembed output is broken, but this doesn't appear to work currently as I think things are confused by YFrog's servers giving a '204 No Content' response on our HEAD checks on the original link.
The old code attempted to compare the value of the notice.created field against now() directly, which tends to explode in our current systems. now() comes up as the server/connection local timezone generally, while the created field is currently set as hardcoded UTC from the web servers. This would lead to breakage when we got a difference in seconds that's several hours off in either direction (depending on the local timezone). New code calculates a threshold by subtracting the number of seconds from the current UNIX timestamp and passing that in in correct format for a simple comparison. As a bonus, this should also be more efficient, as it should be able to follow the index on profile_id and created.
