• v1.9.0 Changes

  November 07, 2018

  1.9.0 -- 2018-11-07

  Highlights:

  • 👌 Support for Ubuntu bionic and Debian stretch (our first non-Ubuntu
    🗄 platform!). We expect to deprecate support for installing a new
    Zulip server on Ubuntu Trusty in the coming months, in preparation
    for Trusty’s end-of-life in April 2019.
  • 🆕 New data import tools for HipChat and Gitter. The Slack importer
    is now out of beta.
  • Zulip Python process startup time is about 30% faster; this effort
    🐎 resulted in upstream contributions to fix significant performance
    🐛 bugs in django-bitfield, libthumbor, and pika.
  • 🔧 You can now configure custom (organization-specific) fields for user
    profiles; Zulip can now serve as your organization’s employee
    directory.
  • 👍 Zulip now supports using Google Hangouts instead of Jitsi as the
    video chat provider.
  • 🔧 Users can now configure email and mobile push notifications for
    all messages in a stream (useful for low-traffic
    streams/organizations), not just for messages mentioning them.
  • 🆕 New stream settings
    control whether private stream subscribers can access history
    🔧 from before they joined, and allow configuring streams to only
    👍 allow administrators to post.
  • 👍 Zulip now has experimental support for guest users (intended
    for use cases like contractors who the organization only wants
    to have access to a few streams).
  • 🆕 New native integrations for Ansible Tower, Appveyor, Clubhouse,
    Netlify, and Zabbix; Zulip now has over 100 native integrations (in
    ➕ addition to hundreds more available via Zapier and IFTTT).
  • 🆕 New translations for Ukrainian, Portuguese, Indonesian, Dutch, and
    🌐 Finnish. Zulip now has complete or nearly-complete translations
    for German, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Russian, Ukrainian,
    🌐 Czech, Finnish, and Turkish. Partial translations for Chinese,
    💅 Dutch, Korean, Polish, Japanese, and Indonesian cover the majority
    of the total strings in the project.

  ⬆️ Upgrade notes:

  • Zulip 1.9 contains a significant database migration that can take
    ⬆️ several minutes to run. The upgrade process automatically minimizes
    disruption by running this migration first, before beginning the
    👉 user-facing downtime. However, if you'd like to watch the downtime
    ⬆️ phase of the upgrade closely, we recommend
    running them first manually
    and as well as the usual trick of
    ⚡️ doing an apt upgrade first.

  Full feature changelog:

  • ➕ Added an organization setting for message deletion time limits.

    works even when you're inside compose).
  • 📇 Renamed the hotkey for starring a message to Ctrl+S.
  • Added the new SOCIAL_AUTH_SUBDOMAIN setting, which all servers using
    both GitHub authentication and hosting multiple Zulip organizations
    👀 should set (see the docs for details).
  • ➕ Added automatic thumbnailing of images, powered by thumbor. The new
    0️⃣ THUMBOR_URL setting controls this feature; it is disabled by default
