like leprous boils in our code. So, I've replaced all of them with //
comments instead. It's a massive, meaningless, and potentially buggy
change -- great one for the middle of a release cycle, eh?
I've extended the rights framework (centering on the Right class and Profile::hasRight()) to cover
Web login and API use. This will make it possible to prevent login and API use by users.
I added two new Right constants to the Right class: WEBLOGIN and API. I check these rights using
Profile::hasRight() when initializing users. If the rights check fails, I throw an exception.
I created a new AuthorizationException class for this particular
exception, in order to allow a different UI for these kinds of exceptions (or whatever).
$config['site']['logperf'] = true; // to record & dump total hits of each type and the runtime to syslog
$config['site']['logperf_detail'] = true; // very verbose -- dump the individual cache keys and queries as they get used (may contain private info in some queries)
Seeing 180 cache gets on a timeline page seems not unusual currently; since these run in serial, even relatively small roundtrip times can add up heavily.
We should consider ways to reduce the number of round trips, such as more frequently storing compound objects or the output of processing in memcached.
Doing parallel multi-key lookups could also help by collapsing round-trip times, but might not be easy to fit into SN's object model. (For things like streams this should actually work pretty well -- grab the list, then when it's returned go grab all the individual items in parallel and return the list)
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.
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.
I've consolidated the checks for which user to use for single-user mode into User::singleUser(), which now uses the configured nickname by preference, falling back to the site owner if it's unset.
This is now called consistently from the places that needed to use the primary user's nickname in routing setup.
Setting $config['singleuser']['nickname'] should now work again as expected.
* now ignoring if-modified-since if we failed an etag if-none-match comparison, per spec
* now including a hash of user id/nickname in most etags, so we'll update the view properly after login/logout
For API methods, checking the API-auth'ed user. (Many change results to include things like 'you're subscribed to this user' or 'this is one of your favorites', so user info is again needed)
There'll still be some last-modified stamps that aren't including user info properly, probably.
When bogus SSL sites etc were hit through a shortening redirect, sometimes link resolution kinda blew up and the user would get a "Can't linkify" error, aborting their post.
Now catching this case and just passing through the URL without attempting to resolve it. Could benefit from an overall scrubbing of the freaky link/attachment code though...! :)
http://status.net/open-source/issues/2513
Users and administrators can set how long an URL can be before it's
shortened, and how long a notice can be before all its URLs are
shortened. They can also turn off shortening altogether.

* Moved notification sending from Notice::saveReplies to distrib queue handler, so it'll pull from the reply set we've saved regardless of how we got it.
* Set up gettext infrastructure for command-line scripts; gets localization mail notifications etc working from background queues.
* Adjusted locale switching: common_switch_locale() works at runtime for bg scripts, forces a message catalog update
Refactored some of the returnto handling code. It looks like we have several different ways of handling this in the software, icky!
Marked the session-based functions with fixmes (they'll stomp on other forms when multiple tabs/windows are used) and combined some commonish bits of code between ProfileFormAction and the group block & makeadmin actions where they're using hidden form parameters. Extended that to allow passing dynamic parameters (eg 'page') as well as static ones (action, target user/group).
May be slow or run out of memory if run on particularly prolific posters -- not yet optimized for that case.
Note that geodata that has already been sent out to other services (via ostatus, omb, twitter, etc) will not be removed from them.

Made a quick attempt to merge the new JID validation into the XmppPlugin, have not had a chance to test that version live yet.
Should also move over the test cases.
Basic splitting/validation code submitted via http://status.net/wiki/XMPP/JID_validation -- Copyright 2009 Patrick Georgi <patrick@georgi-clan.de> Licensed under ISC-L, which is compatible with everything else that keeps the copyright notice intact.
Added PEAR Net_IDNA package to extlib to handle IDN normalization (also used by Validate's email verifier if present).
* added test suite, supplemented my own test cases with JID validation and normalization test cases from libpurple
* follows XMPP rules for validation of name part
* fixes for normalization with non-ASCII names
* will do domain checks if $config['email']['check_domain'] is on, checking for an XMPP-server SRV record or any lookup. (We don't actually need to ping those direct though.)
* some more obscure stringprep validation rules aren't quite followed yet, but we err on the side of permissiveness.
* we still don't actually let you save your address with a resource on it, as we strip resources when looking up users who've sent us presence or message updates. I would recommend saving the outgoing resource as a separate field if/when we add that..?
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 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.

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.
