🎉 New features

• Add teams.convertToChannel endpoint (#22188)

  • Add new teams.converToChannel endpoint;

  • Update ConvertToTeam modal text (since this action can now be reversed);

  • Remove corresponding team memberships when a team is deleted or converted to a channel;

• Add setting to configure default role for user on manual registration (#20650)

  Add an admin setting to determine the initial role for new users who registered manually (through the register form and via API, not using an authentication service), normally all new users are assigned to the user role.

  The setting can be found in Admin->Accounts->Registration.

  
  The setting initial value is false, so the default behaviour stays the same while creating a new server or upgrading one.

• Content-Security-Policy for inline scripts (#20724)

  Security policies were applied for inline scripts cases. Due to the libraries and components we use it is not possible to disable inline styles and images as they would break Oembeds and other libraries.

  basically the inline scripts were moved to a js file

  and besides that some suggars syntax like addScript and addStyle were added, this way the application already takes care of inserting the elements and providing the content automatically.

• Open modals in side effects outside React (#22247)

• Remove "Game Center" setting (#22232)

🚀 Improvements

• APPS: Refactor bridges (#21253)

  Make the bridge classes extend abstract classes provided by the engine instead of just implementing an interface. The new abstract classes feature proxy methods used for permission verification in each method. This is also offers space to add more behaviors before executing the actual bridge methods.

• Add BBB and Jitsi to Team (#22312)

  Added 2 new settings:

  • Admin > Video Conference > Big Blue Button > Enable for teams

  • Admin > Video Conference > Jitsi > Enable in teams

• Add debouncing to units selects filters (#22097)

• Add modal to close chats when tags/comments are not required (#22245)

  When neither tags or comments are required to close a livechat, show this modal instead:
  

• Fallback messages on contextual bar (#22376)

  

• Missing tests to fname and prid in the rooms.createDiscussion endpoint (#22223)

  • Add tests to the values of fname and prid in the rooms.createDiscussion endpoint's results.

• New indexes for Omnichannel-related collections (#22367)

• Paginated department select on forward chat (#22123)

  Changes the department dropdown to use the new paginated selects, allowing for searching and displaying more than 50 departments

• Paginated multiselect for EE tags (#22315)

  This uses the paginated multiselect for the EE tags selection, allowing more than 50 tags to be shown.

• Remove differentiation between public x private channels in sidebar (#22160)

• Rewrite create direct modal (#22209)

  

• Rewrite Create Discussion Modal (only through sidebar) (#22224)

  This is only available by creating a new discussion when clicking on the sidebar button. Other places will be implemented afterwards.

  

• Send only relevant data via WebSocket (#22258)

  Previously when any data changed on subscriptions or rooms we were getting fresh data from database, to also remove undesired fields, but sometimes the data that changed was not relevant so we were sending the whole object everytime without the fields that actually changed. This change aims to reduce this overhead and also send less data to clients.

• Update system messages' behavior in rooms (#22018)

  • Update room's lastMessage when its "Hide System Messages" setting is updated;

  • Display system messages in the last message field (in the sidebar, using the extended view) -- iff the system message sent is not hidden in the room;

  • Send an alert to the room members when a system message is sent -- iff the system message sent is not hidden in the room;

  • Properly update a room's lastMessage field when the previous lastMessage is deleted -- system messages can now be set as last messages.

🐛 Bug fixes

• _updatedAt attribute not being automatically updated by raw models (#22306)

• EE: Canned responses can't be deleted (#22095)

• ENTERPRISE: Omnichannel enterprise permissions being added back to its default roles (#22322)

  Fix omnichannel monitor permissions being added back to omnichannel monitor role on every startup.

• ENTERPRISE: Prevent Visitor Abandonment after forwarding chat (#22243)

  Currently the Visitor Abandonment timer isn't affected when the chat is forwarded. However this is affecting the UX in certain situations like eg: A bot forwarding a chat to an human agent
  

  To solve this issue, we'll now be stoping the Visitor Abandonment timer once a chat is forwarded.

• IMPROVE: Prevent creation of duplicated roles and new roles.update endpoint (#22279)

  Currently, the action of updating a role is broken: because roles have their _id = name, when updating a role there's no way to validate if the user is trying to update or create a new role with a name that already exists - which causes wrong behaviors, such as roles with the same name and not being able to update them.

  To proper fix this, this PR looks to change the creation of roles. Now, roles have a unique _id value and there's a endpoint to update roles: /api/v1/roles.update.

  Doing so, it's possible to validate on both endpoints (roles.create and roles.update) to not allow roles with duplicated names.

  OBS: The unique id changes only reflect new roles, the standard roles (such as admin and user) still have _id = name, but new roles now can't have the same name as them.

• Memory leak generated by Stream Cast usage (#22329)

  Stream Cast uses a different approach to broadcast data to the instances, it uses the DDP subscription method that requires a collection on the other side, if no collection exists with the given name broadcast-stream it caches in memory waiting for the collection to be set later. The cache is cleared only when a reconnection happens.

  This PR overrides the function that processes the data for that specific connection, preventing the cache and everything else to be processed since we already have our low-level listener to process the data.
