Major Changes

(#33316) Changes some displays to reflect new rules for private apps and adds a new modal before uploading a private app
(#32212) Fixed broken translation in "Forgot Password" e-mail
(#33503) Adds modal confirmation to enable and disable End-to-end encryption
Adds a reset room key option to the modal that disables End-to-end encryption, this is useful when all the members of a room lose their room E2EE keys
(#33038) Remove support of filtering by agent's username on the following endpoint:
- /v1/livechat/rooms
The performance of the endpoint was improved when filtering by:
- Agent
- Deparment
- Open chats
(#33474) Removes deprecated endpoint pw.getPolicyReset. Moving forward, use the pw.getPolicy endpoint.
(#32162) As per MongoDB Lifecycle Schedules (mongodb.com/legal/support-policy/lifecycles) we're removing official support to MongoDB version 4.4 that has reached end of life in February 2024.
We recommend upgrading to at least MongoDB 6.0+, though 5.0 is still a supported version.
Here are official docs on how to upgrade to some of the supported versions:
- mongodb.com/docs/manual/release-notes/5.0-upgrade-replica-set
- mongodb.com/docs/manual/release-notes/6.0-upgrade-replica-set
- mongodb.com/docs/manual/release-notes/7.0-upgrade-replica-set
(#33333) Login services button was not respecting the button color and text color settings. Implemented a fix to respect these settings and change the button colors accordingly.
Added a warning on all settings which allow admins to change OAuth button colors, so that they can be alerted about WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) compliance.
(#32162) Added MongoDB 7.0 support
(#33449) Removes deprecated method livechat:webhookTest. Moving forward use the endpoint livechat/webhook.test.
(#33373) This adjustment removes the deprecated method livechat:searchAgent. Moving forward, use livechat/users/agent/:_id endpoint.
(#33442) Removes deprecated livechat:getAnalyticsOverviewData method. Moving forward use the livechat/analytics/overview endpoint.
(#31889) Removed upsert behavior on users.update endpoint (joinDefaultChannels param or empty userId are not allowed anymore)
(#33802) Changes groups messages listing endpoint by moving query params from the 'query' attribute to standard query parameters.
(#32159) Api login should not suggest which credential is wrong (password/username)
Failed login attemps will always return Unauthorized instead of the internal fail reason
(#31117) Adds a new set of permissions to provide a more granular control for the creation and deletion of rooms within teams
- create-team-channel: controls the creations of public rooms within teams, it is checked within the team's main room scope and overrides the global create-c permission check. That is, granting this permission to a role allows users to create channels in teams even if they do not have the permission to create channels globally;
- create-team-group: controls the creations of private rooms within teams, it is checked within the team's main room scope and overrides the global create-p permission check. That is, granting this permission to a role allows users to create groups in teams even if they do not have the permission to create groups globally;
- delete-team-channel: controls the deletion of public rooms within teams, it is checked within the team's main room scope and complements the global delete-c permission check. That is, users must have both permissions (delete-c in the channel scope and delete-team-channel in its team scope) in order to be able to delete a channel in a team;
- delete-team-group: controls the deletion of private rooms within teams, it is checked within the team's main room scope and complements the global delete-p permission check. That is, users must have both permissions (delete-p in the group scope and delete-team-group in its team scope) in order to be able to delete a group in a team;;
Renames add-team-channel permission (used for adding existing rooms to teams) to move-room-to-team, since it is applied to groups and channels.
(#33391) Removed deprecated method livechat:loginByToken. Moving forward, use the endpoint livechat/visitor/:token.
(#33473) Removes deprecated method getPasswordPolicy. Moving forward, use the endpoint pw.getPolicy.
(#33210) Removes private App installation via URL method following a deprecation warning.
(#33429) Removed deprecated methods livechat:saveTrigger and livechat:removeTrigger. Moving forward use the endpoints livechat/triggers (POST) and livechat/triggers/:_id (DELETE) respectively.
(#33465) Removes deprecated method addOAuthApp. Moving forward, use the endpoint oauth-apps.create instead.
(#33472) Removes deprecated deleteMessage method. Moving forward, use the chat.delete endpoint.
(#33447) Removes deprecated method livechat:saveInfo. Moving forward use the enpoint livechat/room/save.info.
(#31438) Upgrades the version of the Meteor framework to 3.0
The main reason behind this is the upgrade of the Node.js version, where version 14 will be removed and version 20 will be used instead.
Internally, significant changes have been made, mostly due to the removal of fibers.
As a result, it was necessary to adapt our code to work with the new version.
No functionality should have been affected by this, but if you are running Rocket.Chat in unconventional ways, please note that you need to upgrade your Node.js version.
(#33426) Removed deprecated method livechat:getNextAgent. Moving forward, use the livechat/agent.next/:token endpoint.
(#33526) Removes deprecated method livechat:setDepartmentForVisitor. Moving forward, use the endpoint livechat/visitor.

(#33445) Removes deprecated livechat:getAgentOverviewData method. Moving forward use livechat/analytics/agent-overview endpoint.
(#33444) Removes deprecated method livechat:setCustomField. The custom fields can be directly set via the livechat/visitor endpoint.
(#33471) Removes deprecated endpoint channels.images. Moving forward, use rooms.images endpoint.
(#33650) Changes custom emoji listing endpoint by moving query params from the 'query' attribute to standard query parameters.
(#32856) Adds a new collection to store all the workspace cloud tokens to defer the race condition management to MongoDB instead of having to handle it within the settings cache.
Removes the Cloud_Workspace_Access_Token & Cloud_Workspace_Access_Token_Expires_At settings since they are not going to be used anymore.
(#33423) Removed deprecated methods livechat:removeAgent, livechat:removeManager and livechat:removeDepartment. Moving forward, use livechat/users/agent/:_id, and livechat/users/manager/:_id and livechat/department/:_id respectively.`
(#31438) Node.js 20.x support
(#33801) Changes channels messages listing endpoint by moving query params from the 'query' attribute to standard query parameters.
(#32154) Removed the ability to import data in the HipChat Enterprise format, as it was discontinued over five years ago.
(#33419) Changes End-to-end encryption default setting to enable mention in encrypted messages
(#33451) Removes deprecated method livechat:saveIntegration. Moving forward, use the endpoint omnichannel/integrations (POST).

(#32285) Fixed issue with LDAP sync triggering multiple cron jobs in case an invalid sync interval is provided
(#33328) Allows authorized users to reset the encryption key for end-to-end encrypted rooms. This aims to prevent situations where all users of a room have lost the encryption key, and as such, the access to the room.
(#33539) Removes deprecated method livechat:registerAgent. Moving forward, use the endpoint livechat/visitor.
(#33520) Fixes a behavior of E2EE room creation that allowed any user on the room to define room keys before the room creator, causing race conditions.
(#33329) Randomizes e2eKeyId generation instead of derive it from encoded key. Previously, we used the stringified & encoded version of the key to extract a keyID, however this generated the same keyID for all rooms. As we didn't use this keyID, and rooms didn't have the capability of having multiple keys, this was harmless.
This PR introduces a new way of generating that identifier, making it random and unique, so multiple room keys can be used on the same room as long as the keyID is different.
NOTE: new E2EE rooms created after this PR is merged will not be compatible with older versions of Rocket.Chat. Old rooms created before this update will continue to be compatible.
(#33361) Change the E2EE setting - "Access unencrypted content in encrypted rooms" default value, making the current behavior not allow to send unencrypted messages in end-to-end encrypted channels.
(#33470) Removes deprecated endpoints licenses.isEnterprise and licenses.get. Moving forward use the endpoint licenses.info.

(#33572) Removes the ability of changing room's encryption status from the key icon placed on the room's header. Icon's purpose is now only informative, showing when a room uses E2EE. Use the kebab menu to enable/disable E2EE.
(#33432) Removed deprecated methods livechat:requestTranscript and livechat:discardTranscript. Moving forward use livechat/transcript/:rid endpoint's POST and DELETE methods.
(#31383) No longer shows archived rooms in rooms.autocomplete.channelAndPrivate endpoint
(#33807) Changes ims and dms messages listing endpoint by moving query params from the 'query' attribute to standard query parameters.
(#32532) Removed meteor/check from chat endpoints
(#33434) Renames the settings group 'Voice Channel' to 'Omnichannel voice channel (VoIP)' to better reflect its responsibility.
(#33427) Removed deprecated method livechat:pageVisited. Moving forward, use the livechat/page.visited endpoint.
(#33446) Removed deprecated method livechat:saveDepartmentAgents. Moving forward, use the endpoint livechat/department/:_id/agents.
(#33630) Changes the payload of the startImport endpoint to decrease the amount of data it requires
(#33238) Adds new empty states for the marketplace view
(#33452) Removes deprecated method livechat:sendOfflineMessage. Moving forward, use the endpoint livechat/offline.message.

(#33386) Fixes the departments filter on the omnichannel current chats page by ensuring that the selected department is fetched and
added if it was not part of the initial department list. This prevents the filter from becoming blank and avoids potential
UX issues.
