Rocket.Chat v3.14.0 Release Notes

  • 2021-04-28 · 9 🎉 · 9 🚀 · 55 🐛 · 38 🔍 · 30 👩‍💻👨‍💻

    Engine versions

    • Node: 12.22.1
    • NPM: 6.14.1
    • MongoDB: 3.4, 3.6, 4.0
    • Apps-Engine: 1.25.0

    🎉 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

    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.

    • 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

    add teams.update endpoint

    • Standard Importer Structure (#18357)

    🚀 Improvements

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

    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 by @g-thome)

    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)

    • 🔧 Do not require pre-configured tags in Omnichannel chats (#21488 by @rafaelblink)

    • 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

    • Enterprise: Omnichannel simultaneous chat limit is not properly checking the limit by department (#21839)

    The Omnichannel Concurrent Chat Limit feature is not working properly when checking the limit per department, the reason is that the algorithm that fetches the number of ongoing chats per agent wasn't considering the department of the subscriptions, hence, the number returned from DB was bigger than it should be.

    • ➕ Add tag input to Closing Chat modal (#21462 by @rafaelblink)

    • 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

    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.
