- avoid access denied on bad cookie, instead just nuke it
- avoid marking a token unseen for first minute post rotation
- log path in user auth token logs
Revamped system for managing authentication tokens.
- Every user has 1 token per client (web browser)
- Tokens are rotated every 10 minutes
New system migrates the old tokens to "legacy" tokens,
so users still remain logged on.
Also introduces weekly job to expire old auth tokens.
- Regular users are not notified of whispers
- Regular users no longer have "stuck" topics in unread
- Additional tracking for staff highest post number
- Remove a bunch of unused columns in topics table
previously we supported blanket read and write for user API, this
change amends it so we can define more limited scopes. A scope only
covers a few routes. You can not grant access to part of the site and
leave a large amount of the information hidden to API consumer.
FIX: warning about popup dimensions when using facebook login
Rules are:
- On account creation we always import
- If you already have an avatar uploaded, nothing is changed
- If you have no avatar uploaded, we upload from facebook on login
- If you have no avatar uploaded, we select facebook unless gravatar already selected
This also fixes SSO issues where on account creation accounts had missing avatar uploads
This feature ensures session cookie lifespan is extended
when user is online.
Also decreases session timeout from 90 to 60 days.
Ensures all users (including logged on ones) get expiring sessions.
Users can no longer opt-in for "public" edit history
if site owner disables it.
This feature adds cost and complexity to post rendering since
user options need to be premeptively loaded for every user in the
stream. It is also confusing to explain to communities with private edit
history.
