RocketChat/Rocket.Chat 6.12.0

on GitHub

Summary

What's New

The update brings new features such as a "Created at" column in the admin rooms table, Matrix Federation validation, an audit endpoint for room members, a 'Deactivated' tab on the Users page, and a setting for file encryption in end-to-end encrypted rooms.

Bug Fixes

The update resolves issues with encrypted file uploads, third-party app logins, and federated user protection. It also prevents non-members from dragging files into channels and ensures system messages do not skew live chat response metrics.

• (#32032) Added a new 'Deactivated' tab to the users page, this tab lists users who have logged in for the first time but have been deactivated for any reason. Also added the UI code for the Active tab;

• (#33003) Added a new setting to enable/disable file encryption in an end to end encrypted room.

• (#32868) Added sidepanel field to teams.create and rooms.saveRoomSettings endpoints

• (#33003) Fixed a bug related to uploading end to end encrypted file.

  E2EE files and uploads are uploaded as files of mime type application/octet-stream as we can't reveal the mime type of actual content since it is encrypted and has to be kept confidential.

  The server resolves the mime type of encrypted file as application/octet-stream but it wasn't playing nicely with existing settings related to whitelisted and blacklisted media types.

  E2EE files upload was getting blocked if application/octet-stream is not a whitelisted media type.

  Now this PR solves this issue by always accepting E2EE uploads even if application/octet-stream is not whitelisted but it will block the upload if application/octet-stream is black listed.

• (#32743) Fixes an issue where creating a new user with an invalid username (containing special characters) resulted in an error message, but the user was still created. The user creation process now properly aborts when an invalid username is provided.

• (#33109) Fixes the expanded prop being accidentally forwarded to ContextualbarHeader

• (#33169) Fixed issue that prevented sending encrypted filed from the mobile app

• (#33101) Fixed an issue where teams were being created with no room associated with it.

• (#33036) Fixes multiple problems with the processRoomAbandonment hook. This hook is in charge of calculating the time a room has been abandoned (this means, the time that elapsed since a room was last answered by an agent until it was closed). However, when business hours were enabled and the user didn't open on one day, if an abandoned room happened to be abandoned over the day there was no business hour configuration, then the process will error out.
  Additionally, the values the code was calculating were not right. When business hours are enabled, this code should only count the abandonment time while a business hour was open. When rooms were left abandoned for days or weeks, this will also throw an error or output an invalid count.

• (#33174) Restored tooltips to the unit edit department field selected options

• (#33054) Fixed issue with livechat analytics in a given date range considering conversation data from the following day

• (#32981) fixed an issue with the "follow message" button not changing state after click

• (#33047) Fixed: Custom fields in extraData now correctly added to extraRoomInfo by livechat.beforeRoom callback during livechat room creation.

• (#33040) Fixed an issue related to setting Accounts_ForgetUserSessionOnWindowClose, this setting was not working as expected.

  The new meteor 2.16 release introduced a new option to configure the Accounts package and choose between the local storage or session storage. They also changed how Meteor._localstorage works internally. Due to these changes in Meteor, our setting to use session storage wasn't working as expected. This PR fixes this issue and configures the Accounts package according to the workspace settings.

• (#33158) Fixes an issue where multi-step modals were closing unexpectedly
