🎉 New features

  • APPS: Method to fetch Livechat Departments (#21690)

    New method in the livechat bridge that allows apps to fetch departments that are enabled and have agents assigned

  • APPS: onInstall and onUninstall events (#21565)

    Adding the user information when installing and uninstalling an App to the Apps-Engine.

  • ENTERPRISE: LDAP Teams Sync (#21658)

  • Enterprise: Second layer encryption for data transport (alpha) (#21692)

    The second layer encryption for data transport works implementing the ECDH algorithm where session keys are exchanged before the rest of the communication. This feature is enterprise only since it requires the micro-services architecture and it's in the early stage of tests as an alpha feature and documentation may not be available before the beta stage.

  • New set of rules for client code (#21318)

    This small PR does the following:

    • Now React is the web client's first-class citizen, being loaded before Blaze. Thus, BlazeLayout calls render templates inside of a React component (BlazeLayoutWrapper);

    • Main client startup code, including polyfills, is written in TypeScript;

    • At the moment, routes are treated as regular startup code; it's expected that FlowRouter will be deprecated in favor of a new routing library;

    • React was updated to major version 17, deprecating the usage of React as namespace (e.g. use memo() instead of React.memo());

    • The client/ and ee/client/ directory are linted with a custom ESLint configuration that includes:

      • Prettier;
      • react-hooks/* rules for TypeScript files;
      • react/no-multi-comp, enforcing the rule of one single React component per module;
      • react/display-name, which enforces that React components must have a name for debugging;
      • import/named, avoiding broken named imports.
    • A bunch of components were refactored to match the new ESLint rules.

  • On Hold system messages (#21360)

  • Password history (#21607)

    • Store each user's previously used passwords in a passwordHistory field (in the users record);

    • Users' previously used passwords are stored in their passwordHistory even when the setting is disabled;

    • Add "Password History" setting -- when enabled, it blocks users from reusing their most recent passwords;

    • Convert comparePassword file to TypeScript.

    Password_Change
    Password_History

  • REST endpoint teams.update (#21134)

    add teams.update endpoint

  • Standard Importer Structure (#18357)

🚀 Improvements

  • APPS: Scheduler option to skip immediate execution of recurring jobs (#21353)

    Create and schedule a task manually at scheduleRecurring method so the first iteration runs after the configured interval. This is accomplished by adding the setting skipImmediate: true when setting up the task.

  • Add error messages to the creation of channels or usernames containing reserved words (#21016)

    Display error messages when the user attempts to create or edit users' or channels' names with any of the following words (case-insensitive):

    • admin;

    • administrator;

    • system;

    • user.
      create-channel
      register-username
      change-channel
      change-username

  • add permission check when adding a channel to a team (#21689)

    add permission check for each room

  • Add proxy for data export (#20998)

    Add a proxy for data export downloads (instead of just linking ufs urls) so we can have more control over its response. Also added a human readable message when the user tries to download the user-data unauthenticated.

  • Add support to range downloads on file system storage (#21463)

  • Alert on team deletion (#21617)

    Screen Shot 2021-04-16 at 7 03 30 PM
  • Do not require pre-configured tags in Omnichannel chats (#21488)

  • OEmbed details by requesting using the accept language header on the request (#21686)

    • Send Accept-Language header on oembed requests
  • Resize custom emojis on upload instead of saving at max res (#21593)

    • Create new MediaService (ideally, should be in charge of all media-related operations)

    • Resize emojis to 128x128

🐛 Bug fixes

  • Add tag input to Closing Chat modal (#21462)

  • Admin Users list pagination (#21469)

    • Fix Administration/Users pagination
  • Allow deletion of own account for passwordless accounts (e.g. OAUTH) (#21119 by @wolbernd)

  • Allows more than 25 discussions/files to be loaded in the contextualbar (#21511 by @Jeanstaquet)

    In some places, you could not load more than 25 threads/discussions/files on the screen when searching the lists in the contextualbar.
    Threads & list are numbered for a better view of the solution

  • Allows more than 25 threads to be loaded, fixes #21507 (#21508 by @Jeanstaquet)

  • Allows to display more than 25 users maximum in the users list (#21518 by @Jeanstaquet)

    Now when you scroll to the bottom of the users list, it shows more users. Before the fix, the limit for the query for loadMore was calculated so that no additional users could be loaded.
