Somewhat predictably, the JS interface handled IDs as numbers, which in
JS are IEEE double-precision floats. This loses some precision when
working with numbers as large as those generated by the new ID scheme,
so we instead handle them here as strings. This is relatively simple,
and doesn't appear to have caused any problems, but should definitely
be tested more thoroughly than the built-in tests. Several days of use
appear to support this working properly.
BREAKING CHANGE:
The major(!) change here is that IDs are now returned as strings by the
REST endpoints, rather than as integers. In practice, relatively few
changes were required to make the existing JS UI work with this change,
but it will likely hit API clients pretty hard: it's an entirely
different type to consume. (The one API client I tested, Tusky, handles
this with no problems, however.)
Twitter ran into this issue when introducing Snowflake IDs, and decided
to instead introduce an `id_str` field in JSON responses. I have opted
to *not* do that, and instead force all IDs to 64-bit integers
represented by strings in one go. (I believe Twitter exacerbated their
problem by rolling out the changes three times: once for statuses, once
for DMs, and once for user IDs, as well as by leaving an integer ID
value in JSON. As they said, "If you’re using the `id` field with JSON
in a Javascript-related language, there is a very high likelihood that
the integers will be silently munged by Javascript interpreters. In most
cases, this will result in behavior such as being unable to load or
delete a specific direct message, because the ID you're sending to the
API is different than the actual identifier associated with the
message." [1]) However, given that this is a significant change for API
users, alternatives or a transition time may be appropriate.

When a new user confirms their e-mail, bootstrap their home timeline
by automatically following a set of accounts. By default, all local
admin accounts (that are unlocked). Can be customized by new admin
setting (comma-separated usernames, local and unlocked only)
* Decouple Status#local? from uri being nil
* Replace on-the-fly URI generation with stored URIs
- Generate URI in after_save hook for local statuses
- Use static value in TagManager when available, fallback to tag format
- Make TagManager use ActivityPub::TagManager to understand new format
- Adjust tests
* Use other heuristic for locality of old statuses, do not perform long query
* Exclude tombstone stream entries from Atom feed
* Prevent nil statuses from landing in Pubsubhubbub::DistributionWorker
* Fix URI not being saved (#4818)
* Add more specs for Status
* Save generated uri immediately
and also fix method order to minimize diff.
* Fix alternate HTML URL in Atom
* Fix tests
* Remove not-null constraint from statuses migration to speed it up
* Make PreviewCard records reuseable between statuses
**Warning!** Migration truncates preview_cards tablec
* Allow a wider thumbnail for link preview, display it in horizontal layout (#4648)
* Delete preview cards files before truncating
* Rename old table instead of truncating it
* Add mastodon:maintenance:remove_deprecated_preview_cards
* Ignore deprecated_preview_cards in schema definition
* Fix null behaviour
- Use statuses controller for embeds instead of stream entries controller
- Prefer /@:username/:id/embed URL for embeds
- Use /@:username as author_url in OEmbed
- Add follow link to embeds which opens web intent in new window
- Use redis cache in development
- Cache entire embed
* Allow multiple pinned statuses to be shown and make them be ordered by pinned date
* Set timestamps NOT NULL
* Make single-line pinned_statuses
* Spec for pinned_statuses
* Remove redundant empty line
* Process Create / Announce activity in FetchRemoteStatusService
* Use activity URL in ActivityPub for reblogs
* Redirect to the original status on StatusesController#show
* Add code for creating/managing apps to settings section
* Add specs for app changes
* Fix controller spec
* Fix view file I pasted over by mistake
* Add locale strings. Add 'my apps' to nav
* Add Client ID/Secret to App page. Add some visual separation
* Fix rubocop warnings
* Fix embarrassing typo
I lost an `end` statement while fixing a merge conflict.
* Add code for creating/managing apps to settings section
- Add specs for app changes
- Add locale strings. Add 'my apps' to nav
- Add Client ID/Secret to App page. Add some visual separation
- Fix some bugs/warnings
* Update to match code standards
* Trigger notification
* Add warning about not sharing API secrets
* Tweak spec a bit
* Cleanup fixture creation by using let!
* Remove unused key
* Add foreign key for application<->user
- Tries to avoid performing HTTP request if the keyId is an actor URI
- Likewise if the URI is a fragment URI on top of actor URI
- Resolves public key, returns owner if the owner links back to the key
* ActivityPub migration procedure
Once one account is detected as going from OStatus to ActivityPub,
invalidate WebFinger cache for other accounts from the same domain
* Unsubscribe from PuSH updates once we receive an ActivityPub payload
* Re-subscribe to PuSH unless already unsubscribed, regardless of protocol
* Add ActivityPub inbox
* Handle ActivityPub deletes
* Handle ActivityPub creates
* Handle ActivityPub announces
* Stubs for handling all activities that need to be handled
* Add ActivityPub actor resolving
* Handle conversation URI passing in ActivityPub
* Handle content language in ActivityPub
* Send accept header when fetching actor, handle JSON parse errors
* Test for ActivityPub::FetchRemoteAccountService
* Handle public key and icon/image when embedded/as array/as resolvable URI
* Implement ActivityPub::FetchRemoteStatusService
* Add stubs for more interactions
* Undo activities implemented
* Handle out of order activities
* Hook up ActivityPub to ResolveRemoteAccountService, handle
Update Account activities
* Add fragment IDs to all transient activity serializers
* Add tests and fixes
* Add stubs for missing tests
* Add more tests
* Add more tests
* Do not raise unretryable exceptions in ResolveRemoteAccountService
* Removed fatal exceptions from ResolveRemoteAccountService
Exceptions that cannot be retried should not be raised. New exception
class for those that can be retried (Mastodon::UnexpectedResponseError)
