Gets Spanish, French, Russian etc UI localization working on Debian Lenny fresh installation set up in Spanish (so es_ES.UTF-8 is available but en_US.UTF-8 isn't).
- switch 'en_US' to 'en', fixes the "admin panel switches to Arabic" bug
- tweak setting descriptions to clarify that most of the time we'll be using browser language
- add a backend switch to disable language detection (should this be exposed to ui?)
In a federated system, "@nickname" is insufficient to uniquely
identify a user. However, it's a very convenient idiom. We need to
guess from context who 'nickname' refers to.
Previously, we were using the sender's profile (or what we knew about
them) as the only context. So, we assumed that they'd be mentioning to
someone they followed, or someone who followed them, or someone on
their own server.
Now, we include the notice information for context. We check to see if
the notice is a reply to another notice, and if the author of the
original notice has the nickname 'nickname', then the mention is
probably for them. Alternately, if the original notice mentions someone
with nickname 'nickname', then this notice is probably referring to
_them_.
Doing this kind of context sleuthing means we have to render the
content very late in the notice-saving process.
- add event hooks to profile update pings
- send Salmon pings with custom update-profile event to OStatus subscribees and groups (subscribers will see it on your next post)
- fix OStatus queues with overlong transport names, should work on DB queues now
- Ostatus_profile::notifyActivity() and ::notifyDeferred() now can take XML, Notice, or Activity for convenience
Combined the code that finds mentions of other profiles into one place.
common_find_mentions() finds mentions and calls hooks to allow
supplemental syntax for mentions (like OStatus).
common_linkify_mentions() links mentions.
common_linkify_mention() links a mention.
Notice::saveReplies() now uses common_find_mentions() instead of
trying to parse everything again.
* detection of group feeds is currently a nasty hack based on presence of '/groups/' in URL -- should use some property on the feed?
* listing for the remote group is kinda cruddy; needs to be named more cleanly
* still need to establish per-author profiles (easier once we have the updated Atom code in)
* group delivery probably not right yet
* saving of group messages still triggering some weird behavior
Added support for since_id and max_id on group timeline feeds as a free extra. Enjoy!
* Treat linkless feed posts as status updates; drop the "New post:" prefix and quotes on them.
* Use stable user IDs for atom/rss2 feed links instead of unstable nicknames
* Pull Atom feed preferentially when subscribing -- can now put the remote user's profile page straight into the feed subscription form and get to the right place.
* Clean up naming for push endpoints
Moved much of the writing that happens when posting a notice to a new
queuehandler, distribqueuehandler. This updates tags, groups, replies
and inboxes at queue time (or at Web time, if queues are disabled).
To make this work well, I had to break up the monolithic
Notice::blowCaches() and make cache blowing happen closer to where
data is updated.

move broadcasting and distributing to new queuehandler
commit da3e46d26b84e4f028f34a13fd2ee373e4c1b954

Move distribution of notices to new distribute queue handler
Queue handlers for XMPP individual & firehose output now send their XML stanzas
to another output queue instead of connecting directly to the chat server. This
lets us have as many general processing threads as we need, while all actual
XMPP input and output go through a single daemon with a single connection open.
This avoids problems with multiple connected resources:
* multiple windows shown in some chat clients (psi, gajim, kopete)
* extra load on server
* incoming message delivery forwarding issues
Database changes:
* queue_item drops 'notice_id' in favor of a 'frame' blob.
This is based on Craig Andrews' work branch to generalize queues to take any
object, but conservatively leaving out the serialization for now.
Table updater (preserves any existing queued items) in db/rc3to09.sql
Code changes to watch out for:
* Queue handlers should now define a handle() method instead of handle_notice()
* QueueDaemon and XmppDaemon now share common i/o (IoMaster) and respawning
thread management (RespawningDaemon) infrastructure.
* The polling XmppConfirmManager has been dropped, as the message is queued
directly when saving IM settings.
* Enable $config['queue']['debug_memory'] to output current memory usage at
each run through the event loop to watch for memory leaks
To do:
* Adapt XMPP i/o to component connection mode for multi-site support.
* XMPP input can also be broken out to a queue, which would allow the actual
notice save etc to be handled by general queue threads.
* Make sure there are no problems with simply pushing serialized Notice objects
to queues.
* Find a way to improve interactive performance of the database-backed queue
handler; polling is pretty painful to XMPP.
* Possibly redo the way QueueHandlers are injected into a QueueManager. The
grouping used to split out the XMPP output queue is a bit awkward.
Conflicts:

Key changes:
* Initialization code moved from common.php to StatusNet class;
can now switch configurations during runtime.
* As a consequence, configuration files must now be idempotent...
Be careful with constant, function or class definitions.
* Control structure for daemons/QueueManager/QueueHandler has been refactored;
the run loop is now managed by IoMaster run via scripts/queuedaemon.php
IoManager subclasses are woken to handle socket input or polling, and may
cover multiple sites.
* Plugins can implement notice queue handlers more easily by registering a
QueueHandler class; no more need to add a daemon.
The new QueueDaemon runs from scripts/queuedaemon.php:
* This replaces most of the old *handler.php scripts; they've been refactored
to the bare handler classes.
* Spawns multiple child processes to spread load; defaults to CPU count on
Linux and Mac OS X systems, or override with --threads=N
* When multithreaded, child processes are automatically respawned on failure.
* Threads gracefully shut down and restart when passing a soft memory limit
(defaults to 90% of memory_limit), limiting damage from memory leaks.
* Support for UDP-based monitoring: http://www.gitorious.org/snqmon
Rough control flow diagram:
QueueDaemon -> IoMaster -> IoManager
QueueManager [listen or poll] -> QueueHandler
XmppManager [ping & keepalive]
XmppConfirmManager [poll updates]
Todo:
* Respawning features not currently available running single-threaded.
* When running single-site, configuration changes aren't picked up.
* New sites or config changes affecting queue subscriptions are not yet
handled without a daemon restart.
* SNMP monitoring output to integrate with general tools (nagios, ganglia)
* Convert XMPP confirmation message sends to use stomp queue instead of polling
* Convert xmppdaemon.php to IoManager?
* Convert Twitter status, friends import polling daemons to IoManager
* Clean up some error reporting and failure modes
* May need to adjust queue priorities for best perf in backlog/flood cases

Consolidated several separate implementations of the same weighting algorithm into common_sql_weight() and fixed some bugs...
For MySQL, now using timestampdiff() instead of subtraction for the comparison, so we get sane results when the year doesn't match, and utc_timestamp() rather than now() so we don't get negative ages for recent items with local server timezone.
Unknown whether the same problems affect PostgreSQL, but note that it lacks the timestampdiff() SQL function.

Allows storage of larger objects (over 1mb in size uncompressed), such as huge LDAP schemas.
Should also improve cache efficiency (allows more stuff to be stored in same memory) and reduce network latency (less data transfer)
Added EmailAuthenticationPlugin
Added ReverseUsernameAuthenticationPlugin
Changed the StartChangePassword and EndChangePassword events to take a user, instead of a nickname
User::allowed_nickname was declared non-static, but used as if it was static, so I made the declaration static
common_logged_in() returned bogus results because it checks against null specifically, but common_current_user() was sticking 'false' into $_cur because that's what User::staticGet() returned from a failed lookup. Now we skip over a failed lookup here, so we keep null and all is well.
* OMB remote updates were trying to load nonexistent Laconica_OMB_Service_Consumer class -- fixed to StatusNet_OMB_Service_Consumer. Regression caused during libomb merge.
* Twitter processing was still being queued from core when no twitter plugin was present, which triggered an exception from UnqueueHandler; leftover code from before the plugin extraction.
* UnqueueHandler's exception caused a fatal error instead because it was missing the "new" keyword. Wouldn't have been seen when testing with the plugin enabled.
Set "en_US" locale first, then the locale we want for our user.
This seems to initialize gettext properly somehow, which I could see when the languages would come up briefly on settings save when changing from a supported language.
Definitely works for ga_ES on my Ubuntu system (8.10 intrepid), hopefully reasonably consistent.
This reverts commit 20997619b3.
The commit doesn't take into account having different servers (theme
server, avatar server) and being able to set HTTPS for some but not all.
* If no shortener plugin is enabled, fall back to using the long URL instead of trying to load nonexistent ur1.ca plugin and throwing 'Class does not exist'
* Fix bad call to call_user_func_array() in callback_helper() which broke all shortening
This reverts commit e2848eb862.
Downstream consumers of our notices (such as Friendfeed, Facebook, etc) don't have sophisticated URL detection, so a notice that reads: "check out ur1.ca/1" won't be linked. So the http:// prefix is
mandatory.
Undefined index: HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR
Undefined index: HTTP_CLIENT_IP
Undefined variable: proxy
Also fixed the return value order to match calls to common_client_ip() in actions/api.php and lib/rssaction.php
Perhaps it's a little precious, but I took out the switches in
util.php to determine what's supposed to be sent when, and made
a queuemanager class that will just do things when they're supposed to
be done.
* commit 'jeff-themovie/small-fixes':
Fix missing max_id in API search calls
Fix "Trying to get property of non-object" errors when a user tries to log in using an unknown nickname
Fix "Trying to get property of non-object" errors when accessing the people search results page
Fix "Undefined variable: cnt"
Fix "Trying to get property of non-object" errors in groupeditform.php
Fix "Undefined property: DisfavorAction::$id"
Correctly link and distribute notices tagged for a group alias. Added
a helper function, getForNickname(), to User_group, to make it easier
to get a group by its nickname or aliases.
This patch enables shortening of links, that where send from XMPP.
The problem was, that in util.php common_current_user() is not
finding the user account from which is posted, so the service to
shorten is not known, so no shortening at all...
This patch cleans up the xmppdaemon a little bit and hard codes ur1.ca
as shortening service _if_ the user is not set. Ugly but working.
I changed common_local_url() to take an additional optional argument
-- for query parameters. Being persnickety, I made it the third of
four, and moved the last one ($fragment) down a slot. That required
changing a couple of calls.
Moved the common_avatar_* functions to the Avatar class. Typically
either as methods on the object or as static methods. Replaced all the
uses of the functions in other modules.
