Conflicts:
- Gemfile
- app/controllers/api/v1/search_controller.rb
Conflict because we changed the number of default results to be
configurable
- app/lib/settings/scoped_settings.rb
Addition of a new “noindex” site-wide setting,

Conflicts:
- app/models/status.rb
- app/services/remove_status_service.rb
- db/schema.rb
All conflicts were due to the addition of a `deleted_at` attribute
to Statuses and reworked database indexes.
* Add soft delete for statuses to allow them to appear instant
* Allow reporting soft-deleted statuses and show them in the admin UI
* Change index for getting an account's statuses
* Add more accurate hashtag search
Using ElasticSearch to index hashtags with edge n-grams and score
them by usage within the last 7 days since last activity. Only
hashtags that have been reviewed and are listable can appear in
searches, unless they match the query exactly
* Fix search analyzer dropping non-ascii characters
* Add database columns for adding notes to domain blocks/restrctions
* Add admin UI to set private and public comments when blocking a domain
* Add text for private and public comments on domain blocks

* Make UnblockDomainService more robust regarding upgraded domain blocks
* Allow editing domain blocks
* Rename button from “undo domain block” to “view domain block” in account admin UI
* Change test to unsilence silenced users from upgraded blocks
Fix#271
Add back the `GET /api/v1/trends` API with the caveat that it does
not return tags that have not been allowed to trend by the staff.
When a hashtag begins to trend (internally) and that hashtag has
not been previously reviewed by the staff, the staff is notified.
The new admin UI for hashtags allows filtering hashtags by where
they are used (e.g. in the profile directory), whether they have
been reviewed or are pending reviewal, they show by how many people
the hashtag is used in the directory, how many people used it
today, how many statuses with it have been created today, and it
allows fixing the name of the hashtag to make it more readable.
The disallowed hashtags feature has been reworked. It is now
controlled from the admin UI for hashtags instead of from
the file `config/settings.yml`

Fix#10512
* Remove unused translations
* Fix broken registrations when no invite request text is submitted
Conflicts:

Conflicts:
- .eslintrc.yml
Removed, as upstream removed it.
- app/controllers/admin/statuses_controller.rb
Minor code cleanup when porting one of our features.
- app/models/account.rb
Note length validation has changed upstream.
We now use upstream's validation (dropped legacy glitch-soc
account metadata stuff) but with configurable limit.
- app/services/post_status_service.rb
Upstream has added support for scheduled toots, refactoring
the code a bit. Adapted our changes to this refactoring.
- app/views/stream_entries/_detailed_status.html.haml
Not a real conflict, changes too close.
- app/views/stream_entries/_simple_status.html.haml
Not a real conflict, changes too close.
* Add REST API for creating an account
The method is available to apps with a token obtained via the client
credentials grant. It creates a user and account records, as well as
an access token for the app that initiated the request. The user is
unconfirmed, and an e-mail is sent as usual.
The method returns the access token, which the app should save for
later. The REST API is not available to users with unconfirmed
accounts, so the app must be smart to wait for the user to click a
link in their e-mail inbox.
The method is rate-limited by IP to 5 requests per 30 minutes.
* Redirect users back to app from confirmation if they were created with an app
* Add tests
* Return 403 on the method if registrations are not open
* Require agreement param to be true in the API when creating an account
* Add moderation warnings
Replace individual routes for disabling, silencing, and suspending
a user, as well as the report update route, with a unified account
action controller that allows you to select an action (none,
disable, silence, suspend) as well as whether it should generate an
e-mail notification with optional custom text. That notification,
with the optional custom text, is saved as a warning.
Additionally, there are warning presets you can configure to save
time when performing the above.
* Use Account#local_username_and_domain
* Make custom emoji domains case sensitive #9351
* Fixup style in downcase_domain to comply with codeclimate.
* switch if! to unless
* Don't use transactions, operate in batches.
Also revert spurious schema change.
* fix: change Identity's id column to a bigint
This appears to be the last model created using a 5.0 migration,
where column types defaulted to `integer` rather than `bigint`.
This migration changes the column type to match that of all of the
other ID columns.
* Change user_id column in identities to bigint and fix down-migration
* Add locality check to ActivityPub::FetchRemoteAccountService
Fix#8643
Because there are a few places where it is called, it is difficult
to confirm if they all previously checked it for locality. It's better
to make sure within the service.
* Remove faux-remote duplicates of local accounts

Conflicts were mostly due to the addition of body classes to the settings page,
this was caused by rejecting upstream changes for most of those files and
modifying Settings::BaseController instead.
Another cause of conflicts was the deletion of client-side checking of
display name / bio length, this was modified in app/javascript/core/settings.js
instead.

* Add silent column to mentions
* Save silent mentions in ActivityPub Create handler and optimize it
Move networking calls out of the database transaction
* Add "limited" visibility level masked as "private" in the API
Unlike DMs, limited statuses are pushed into home feeds. The access
control rules between direct and limited statuses is almost the same,
except for counter and conversation logic
* Ensure silent column is non-null, add spec
* Ensure filters don't check silent mentions for blocks/mutes
As those are "this person is also allowed to see" rather than "this
person is involved", therefore does not warrant filtering
* Clean up code
* Use Status#active_mentions to limit returned mentions
* Fix code style issues
* Use Status#active_mentions in Notification
And remove stream_entry eager-loading from Notification
* Add conversations API
* Add web UI for conversations
* Add test for conversations API
* Add tests for ConversationAccount
* Improve web UI
* Rename ConversationAccount to AccountConversation
* Remove conversations on block and mute
* Change last_status_id to be a denormalization of status_ids
* Add optimistic locking

db/migrate/20180528141303_fix_accounts_unique_index.rb
db/schema.rb
Resolved by taking upstream changes (no real conflicts, just glitch-soc
specific code too close to actual changes).
There were some concerns with the custom filter migration script dropping a table,
thus making it unsafe to run in a zero-downtime setting. Upstream introduced
a way to run migrations after deployment, so revisit the old migration script to
make use of this.
Conflicts:
app/controllers/accounts_controller.rb
app/javascript/mastodon/locales/pl.json
app/views/about/more.html.haml
Conflicts in `accounts_controller.rb` resolved by taking upstream's

Conflicts in `pl.json` resolved by taking upstream's changes.
Conflicts in `aboute/more.html.haml` resolved by taking upstream's changes.
Conflicts:
Dockerfile

A lot of the conflicts come from updating webpack.
Even though upstream deleted app/javascript/packs/common.js, I kept
glitch-soc's version as it unifies JS/CSS packs behavior across flavours.
Ported glitch changes to webpack 4.x
Completely remove glitch-soc's Keyword Mutes, migrate
existing database records to CustomFilters.
Handling of client-side filters is still not implemented
in the glitch-soc front-end.
Conflicts:
README.md
app/controllers/statuses_controller.rb
app/lib/feed_manager.rb
config/navigation.rb
spec/lib/feed_manager_spec.rb
Conflicts were resolved by taking both versions for each change.
This means the two filter systems (glitch-soc's keyword mutes and tootsuite's
custom filters) are in place, which will be changed in a follow-up commit.
* Add keyword filtering
GET|POST /api/v1/filters
GET|PUT|DELETE /api/v1/filters/:id
- Irreversible filters can drop toots from home or notifications
- Other filters can hide toots through the client app
- Filters use a phrase valid in particular contexts, expiration
* Make sure expired filters don't get applied client-side
* Add missing API methods
* Remove "regex filter" from column settings
* Add tests
* Add test for FeedManager
* Add CustomFilter test
* Add UI for managing filters
* Add streaming API event to allow syncing filters
* Fix tests
Conflicts:
app/javascript/mastodon/initial_state.js
db/schema.rb
Upstream added a new field to initial_state.
Not too sure about what happened with db/schema.rb though…
Also add an apply_to_mentions attribute on Glitch::KeywordMute, which is
used to calculate scope. Next up: additions to the test suite to
demonstrate how scoping works.
Queries with the combination of account_id, id, and visibility can be
categorized in three types:
1. Querying for public and unlisted to enumerate statuses visible to
anyone.
2. Querying for public, unlisted, and private to enumerate statuses
visible to follower.
3. Querying for direct to enumerate own direct statuses.
1 and 2 is covered by the index with condition 'visibility IN (0, 1, 2)'.
It would bring better performance in case that there are many direct
statuses.
The index with condition 'visibility = 3' is just for 3. It would be much
faster to query direct statuses thanks to this query.
The total size of those two indexes are expected to be smaller than the
deleted one because they are partial and does not have to cover all the
table.
- POST /api/v1/push/subscription
- PUT /api/v1/push/subscription
- DELETE /api/v1/push/subscription
- New OAuth scope: "push" (required for the above methods)
Same URI passed between follow request and follow, since they are
the same thing in ActivityPub. Local URIs are generated during
creation using UUIDs and are passed to serializers.
* Add bio fields
- Fix#3211
- Fix#232
- Fix#121
* Display bio fields in web UI
* Fix output of links and missing fields
* Federate bio fields over ActivityPub as PropertyValue
* Improve how the fields are stored, add to Edit profile form
* Add rel=me to links in fields
Fix#121
* Implement Assignment of Reports (#6967)
* Change translation of admin.report.comment.label to "Report Comment" for clarity
As we'll soon add the ability for reports to have comments on them, this clarification makes sense.
* Implement notes for Reports
This enables moderators to leave comments about a report whilst they work on it
* Fix display of report moderation notes
* Allow reports to be reopened / marked as unresolved
* Redirect to reports listing upon resolution of report
* Implement "resolve with note" functionality
* Add inverse relationship for report notes
* Remove additional database querying when loading report notes
* Fix tests for reports
* Fix localisations for report notes / reports
* Fix#201: Account archive download
* Export actor and private key in the archive
* Optimize BackupService
- Add conversation to cached associations of status, because
somehow it was forgotten and is source of N+1 queries
- Explicitly call GC between batches of records being fetched
(Model class allocations are the worst offender)
- Stream media files into the tar in 1MB chunks
(Do not allocate media file (up to 8MB) as string into memory)
- Use #bytesize instead of #size to calculate file size for JSON
(Fix FileOverflow error)
- Segment media into subfolders by status ID because apparently
GIF-to-MP4 media are all named "media.mp4" for some reason
* Keep uniquely generated filename in Paperclip::GifTranscoder
* Ensure dumped files do not overwrite each other by maintaing directory partitions
* Give tar archives a good name
* Add scheduler to remove week-old backups
* Fix code style issue
* Allow hiding of reblogs from followed users
This adds a new entry to the account menu to allow users to hide
future reblogs from a user (and then if they've done that, to show
future reblogs instead).
This does not remove or add historical reblogs from/to the user's
timeline; it only affects new statuses.
The API for this operates by sending a "reblogs" key to the follow
endpoint. If this is sent when starting a new follow, it will be
respected from the beginning of the follow relationship (even if
the follow request must be approved by the followee). If this is
sent when a follow relationship already exists, it will simply
update the existing follow relationship. As with the notification
muting, this will now return an object ({reblogs: [true|false]}) or
false for each follow relationship when requesting relationship
information for an account. This should cause few issues due to an
object being truthy in many languages, but some modifications may
need to be made in pickier languages.
Database changes: adds a show_reblogs column (default true,
non-nullable) to the follows and follow_requests tables. Because
these are non-nullable, we use the existing MigrationHelpers to
perform this change without locking those tables, although the
tables are likely to be small anyway.
Tests included.
See also <https://github.com/glitch-soc/mastodon/pull/212>.
* Rubocop fixes
* Code review changes
* Test fixes
This patchset closes#648 and resolves#3271.
* Rubocop fix
* Revert reblogs defaulting in argument, fix tests
It turns out we needed this for the same reason we needed it in muting:
if nil gets passed in somehow (most usually by an API client not passing
any value), we need to detect and handle it.
We could specify a default in the parameter and then also catch nil, but
there's no great reason to duplicate the default value.
We added an index for `[account_id, reblog_of_id]`, but we already have a similar index for `reblog_of_id`. Those index will be bigger according to statuses count. For example, `reblog_of_id` index uses 800MB for 10GB statuses table.
So this patch swaps indexed columns like `[reblog_of_id, account_id]`, then it will covers both usage with single index.
Since those index creation may take a while, I've also disabled previous index creation.
* Add consumable invites
* Add UI for generating invite codes
* Add tests
* Display max uses and expiration in invites table, delete invite
* Remove unused column and redundant validator
- Default follows not used, probably bad idea
- InviteCodeValidator is redundant because RegistrationsController
checks invite code validity
* Add admin setting to disable invites
* Add admin UI for invites, configurable role for invite creation
- Admin UI that lists everyone's invites, always available
- Admin setting min_invite_role to control who can invite people
- Non-admin invite UI only visible if users are allowed to
* Do not remove invites from database, expire them instantly
* Serialize moved accounts into REST and ActivityPub APIs
* Parse federated moved accounts from ActivityPub
* Add note about moved accounts to public profiles
* Add moved account message to web UI
* Fix code style issues
* Add structure for lists
* Add list timeline streaming API
* Add list APIs, bind list-account relation to follow relation
* Add API for adding/removing accounts from lists
* Add pagination to lists API
* Add pagination to list accounts API
* Adjust scopes for new APIs
- Creating and modifying lists merely requires "write" scope
- Fetching information about lists merely requires "read" scope
* Add test for wrong user context on list timeline
* Clean up tests
* Add a hide_notifications column to mutes
* Add muting_notifications? and a notifications argument to mute!
* block notifications in notify_service from hard muted accounts
* Add specs for how mute! interacts with muting_notifications?
* specs testing that hide_notifications in mutes actually hides notifications
* Add support for muting notifications in MuteService
* API support for muting notifications (and specs)
* Less gross passing of notifications flag
* Break out a separate mute modal with a hide-notifications checkbox.
* Convert profile header mute to use mute modal
* Satisfy eslint.
* specs for MuteService notifications params
* add trailing newlines to files for Pork :)
* Put the label for the hide notifications checkbox in a label element.
* Add a /api/v1/mutes/details route that just returns the array of mutes.
* Define a serializer for /api/v1/mutes/details
* Add more specs for the /api/v1/mutes/details endpoint
* Expose whether a mute hides notifications in the api/v1/relationships endpoint
* Show whether muted users' notifications are muted in account lists
* Allow modifying the hide_notifications of a mute with the /api/v1/accounts/:id/mute endpoint
* make the hide/unhide notifications buttons work
* satisfy eslint
* In probably dead code, replace a dispatch of muteAccount that was skipping the modal with launching the mute modal.
* fix a missing import
* add an explanatory comment to AccountInteractions
* Refactor handling of default params for muting to make code cleaner
* minor code style fixes oops
* Fixed a typo that was breaking the account mute API endpoint
* Apply white-space: nowrap to account relationships icons
* Fix code style issues
* Remove superfluous blank line
* Rename /api/v1/mutes/details -> /api/v2/mutes
* Don't serialize "account" in MuteSerializer
Doing so is somewhat unnecessary since it's always the current user's account.
* Fix wrong variable name in api/v2/mutes
* Use Toggle in place of checkbox in the mute modal.
* Make the Toggle in the mute modal look better
* Code style changes in specs and removed an extra space
* Code review suggestions from akihikodaki
Also fixed a syntax error in tests for AccountInteractions.
* Make AddHideNotificationsToMute Concurrent
It's not clear how much this will benefit instances in practice, as the
number of mutes tends to be pretty small, but this should prevent any
blocking migrations nonetheless.
* Fix up migration things
* Remove /api/v2/mutes
* Add moderator role and add pundit policies for admin actions
* Add rake task for turning user into mod and revoking it again
* Fix handling of unauthorized exception
* Deliver new report e-mails to staff, not just admins
* Add promote/demote to admin UI, hide some actions conditionally
* Fix unused i18n
There are two motivations for this:
1. It looks like we're going to add other features that require
server-side storage (e.g. user notes).
2. Namespacing glitchsoc modifications is a good idea anyway: even if we
do not end up doing (1), if upstream introduces a keyword-mute feature
that also uses a "KeywordMute" model, we can avoid some merge
conflicts this way and work on the more interesting task of
choosing which implementation to use.
Word-boundary matching only works as intended in English and languages
that use similar word-breaking characters; it doesn't work so well in
(say) Japanese, Chinese, or Thai. It's unacceptable to have a feature
that doesn't work as intended for some languages. (Moreso especially
considering that it's likely that the largest contingent on the Mastodon
bit of the fediverse speaks Japanese.)
There are rules specified in Unicode TR29[1] for word-breaking across
all languages supported by Unicode, but the rules deliberately do not
cover all cases. In fact, TR29 states
For example, reliable detection of word boundaries in languages such
as Thai, Lao, Chinese, or Japanese requires the use of dictionary
lookup, analogous to English hyphenation.
So we aren't going to be able to make word detection work with regexes
within Mastodon (or glitchsoc). However, for a first pass (even if it's
kind of punting) we can allow the user to choose whether they want word
or substring detection and warn about the limitations of this
implementation in, say, docs.

Gist of the proposed keyword mute implementation:
Keyword mutes are represented server-side as one keyword per record.
For each account, there exists a keyword regex that is generated as one
big alternation of all keywords. This regex is cached (in Redis, I
guess) so we can quickly get it when filtering in FeedManager.
