• Message Forwarding (#26662)

  Implement the ability to forward messages to another channel, thread, or discussion. This is a high demand capability that is currently missing in Rocket.Chat. It can significantly improve the user's experience and her/his productivity. The scope of this project will be limited to the web application (not for mobile apps).

  Special thanks to @nishant23122000 that helped us with this during GSOC 2022

• New timeout setting for Omnichannel Webhooks (#28219 by @cauefcr)

  Costumers were complaining about duplicated data from the Omnichannel webhooks, so I added a new setting that controls the timeouts for the webhooks, in the omnichannel->webhooks panel, the default values are 5s for http timeout, and 4x that for the retry timeout, or 20s.

• Registered Loom oEmbed (#28339 by @Nabhag8848)

  • Registered Loom OEmbed, Now Loom video links will show the embedded representation of URL shared like youtube and will have the better user experience for the teams using loom.

  

• VideoConference Guest mode and Conference Router (#28186)

  Jira Issue: [VC-79]

🚀 Improvements

• Adding input type=password to AWS secrets fields (#28159)

  Some fields that store secrets for AWS were exposing sensitive data because they didn't have the input type as password.

  The change includes adding the password type and also changing the autocomplete value from <PasswordInput /> component to add the value new-password to avoid the browser autocompleting with the existing password. (This does not prevent the browser to show the hint to add the password)

• Galician onboarding translation (#27908 by @Thiagof99)

  I've translated the entire onboarding page and forms to galician language. Here's an example of how the forms look now:
  

🐛 Bug fixes

• emoji property in messages not being respected (#28416)

  There's a property on the message object called emoji which allow the sender (bot, app, API, integration, etc) to replace the user avatar with an emoji. Since we rewrote the messages to React, this was not being supported.
  

• UI_Use_Real_Name not being respected in quotes and RoomForeword (#28613)

  Updated pertinent places and made it so user name is always sent with message (empty if non-existant).

  Before:
  
  

  After:
  
  

• Add function to get installation source (#28806)

  There have been reports of problems regarding the missing information of installationSource in apps. The only scenario where this information could be missing is if migrations failed to run properly when upgrading to 6.0. We haven't been able to identify the root cause yet, so we decided to provide a workaround in the meanwhile

• App crashing when switching to Hindi (hi-In) language (#28285 by @bhardwajdisha)

• app status inconsistencies when running multiple instances in a cluster (#29180)

  App status inconsistencies between multiple instances in a cluster boil down to the fact that the Apps-Engine is currently responsible for orchestrating when these events are triggered and is overly verbose in doing so.

  Upon analysis, the framework itself should not have the concept of "other instances" - this is a deployment detail of the host system, and as such should be controlled by the host. The correct solution for this problem is to review this notification system, potentially removing it from the framework and leaving the responsibility solely for Rocket.Chat.

  However, this is hindering the current app management experience for workspaces, so this PR cuts the control of some notifications that come from the framework (the more problematic ones) and moves the control over to RC in a short and practical way.

  This is done by turning the methods of the most problematic events in the AppActivationBridge into no-ops, and instead triggering the AppServerNotifier directly in the api endpoints that are applicable.

  It is not the most correct solution to the problem, but due to time constraints and urgency this will be applied first so we can move with the correct solution in a future point.

• application crashing when clicking on files button (#28878 by @jayesh-jain252)

  The application crashed when a user clicked on the files option when there were multiple files in the room.

  After:
  

• Apps.engine resource consumption (#28514)

  Added some validations to avoid doing unnecessary updates and also avoid loop that causes high server usage

• Avoid useEffect loop (#28699)

  A bug in useUserBanners hooks will generate a infinite loop whenever a new user banner (e.g. new version announcement) is available. This PR fixes it.

• Avoid throw error on settings.watch at startup (#28649)

• Bring unseen app requests badge back and minor refactors (#28348)

  Brought back the unseen app requests badge that disappeared due to a development oversight and fixed some typos and style issues.

• change default text color in homepage custom content block (#28685)

  • The default text (if there is no content or the admin just adds text without style) color in the homepage custom content block was blue (due to color="info"), but should actually be black

  Before:

  

  After:

  

• Changing the app's error verification (#28450)

• check if custom field is required to apply rule (#28428 by @filipemarins)

  Fix save button is not enabled until non-required custom fields are not filled under room information.

• composer slashcommands duplication (#29086)

• Confirm password flow fixed and refactored (#28453 by @XshubhamX)

• convert OVERWRITE_SETTING type MULTISELECT to array (#29208)

• Delete accounts modal asks for a username instead of the password (#28883)

  Jira task: WM-2
  Fixed a misuse of the password.bcrypt data. This info shouldn't be exposed to the front-end. Not only that, but it also wasn't available to the front-end causing a bug in which the user would be prompted for their username when deleting their account even if they had a password. Also changed the text of the account deletion confirmation modal so that it better uses the spacing of the Generic Modal.

• Display Avatar Preference not hiding avatars on messages (#27072)

• Emoji don't work after text in contiunous (#28216 by @Bankar-Swapnil)

• Fixed business hours route redirect (#28344)

  This PR fixes the user being redirected to a blank page after editing the business hours.

• Fixed no role assign to manual registered users despite of Default Roles for Users settings (#28293 by @bhardwajdisha)

• Fixing the user status change by app (#28965)

• Fuselage's icon font reloads too often (#28673)

• Gallery opening other image after closing (#27957)

  How to reproduce:
  1 - Upload MANY images to a channel (they have to be images and the bigger and more images the easier to reproduce)
  2 - Click on one of the images
  3 - Try to close the glalery as QUICK as possible

  If done correctly, another image will open after closing the gallery. You could also try opening different images or throttling the network thru the devtools in order to help reproduce it.

  I also took some time to make part of the code more readable.

• Generic Table Search (#28401)

  When the user changes the page and tries to search for a room that is not currently visible on the page it’s not returning any results. This is also reproducible in the Users table

  Current Behavior:
  It returns the list filtering by the name
  

  Previous Behavior:
  Not found - It was not finding the room because it’s filtering only in the current page
  

• Google Cloud Storage not working (#29244)

• Hide System Messages for room requires refresh (#28584)

  Adittionaly fixed a bug in the Edit Channel contextual bar where the hide system messages option wasn't updating on removing the last item.

• Horizontal scroll in main room if text is too long (#28434)

  Removed inline styles from elements and substituted p tag for div

  For a quick explanation, the p tag adds the multiple line breaks by default when copying text. We should revise in the parser how we deal with paragraphs and text blocks.

• Invalid JSON in Custom Translations setting crashes the UI (#28600)

  • Check if JSON code settings (with type: code and code: application/json) are valid before saving, or throw an error otherwise;

  • Dismiss custom settings when the custom translations JSON provided is invalid (instead of throwing an error and crashing the UI);

  • Fix the Custom Translations setting desciption so that the example is shown as a code snippet.

• Leader Bar presence status alignment (#28793)

• Livechat MessageList not auto scrolling on new message (#28547)

• Livechat notifications not working correctly (#28741)

• Livechat Triggers not working (#29073)

• marketplace doc link wrong redirect (#28466)

  Fixed a problem in which the FlowRouter was breaking external links passed to the SidebarItem component.
  Example of wrong behavior (after clicking on the marketplace Documentation option):
  

  Demo gif (after fix):
  

• marketplace requested glitch (#28445)

• message-parser links (#28735)

  When sending URLs with certain characters, the hyperlink gets cut off.

  For example:

  https://www.nimblepcm.com/(W(601))/Main?ScreenId=GI000027

  URL gets cut off after "(601"

  That doesn't happen with all URLs.

• MessageBoxReplies attachments preview (#28579)

  The MessageBoxReplies component was not displaying the attachments previews in the correct way, it was using the DefaultAttachment instead.

  To accomplish the expected behavior I had to do the following changes:

  • Edit the MessageBoxReplies to add a collapsed prop to the attachments to always start as collapsed

  • Add a new prop to the MessageCollapsible component to control the preview attachments in MessageBoxReplies to always start as collapsed

  • Edit the Attachment components to read the collapsed value and send it thought

  • Edited the ShareMessageModal to display the correct attachment and its previews

  • Edited the useCollapse hook prop as optional because was not making sense to put it as mandatory since it was getting the value from the user preferences as default and for the MessageCollapsible work in a dynamic way

  Current Behavior:
  

  

  Expected Behavior
  

  

• Messages jumping after reaction (#28770)

• Migration error when removing 'snipetted' index (#29215)

• migration to fix apps in invalid state (#29210)

  Due to a conflict between 5.4.x and 6.0, if the upgrade of a workspace is done using a Rolling upgrade strategy, it is likely that apps will be left in an invalid (potentially unusable) state.

  We can solve apps left in this state by adding another migration.

• Restriction setting not being applied to the old UFS route (#28363)

• Revert breaking change to groups.list API: 404 vs. empty list (#27587 by @nmagedman)

  API calls that request a list of groups which meet some criteria should return an empty list when appropriate, rather than 404. This was the pre-v5.0.0 behavior.

• Routing fixed for private apps in marketplace section (#28418 by @ayush3160)

  This pull request fixes the irregular behavior of routing in the Private Apps section of the Marketplace. The issue was caused by the passing of three parameters (id of app, marketplaceVersion, and tab) to the route when opening an app's details. In the case of private apps, the marketplaceVersion was returning undefined, which caused the version to take on the value of the tab when redirecting. To resolve this issue, I have updated the code to pass the version of the app when the marketplaceVersion returns undefined. This fix ensures that the routes behave as expected in the Private Apps section of the Marketplace.

• Show all users on rooms members list (#28413)

  

• Single omni closed room can't be deleted when the user doesn't have the permission to 'remove all closed omni rooms' (#28877)

• Small UI bugs (#28893)

  It fixes an insidious bug affecting the focus of the message composer whenever the user start typing. It also reverts some refactored code that affected desktop app users (e.g. cut/copy/paste not working).

  Refactor queue manager to ts.

• team channel reload error message (#28667)

• Thread list not scrolling to bottom when sending a message. (#28346)

• Thread message preview (#28454)

  The thread preview message was not displaying emojis and when the parent message was a quoted message it was not displaying the correct message.

  To fix the issues I did:

  • Emoji Issue: I used the <GazzodownText /> component to call <PreviewMarkup /> conditionally when passed the prop preview. The <GazzodownText /> component it's necessary because it has the MarkupInteractionContext.Provider that has the context necessary to display the emoji and other elements

  • Empty parent message: Since the parent message it's a quote, the initial string from a quote message it's a link that references the original message followed by \n break line. I added a validation to check if it's a quoteAttachment message, if it is I remove the first markdown token responsible by the link

  After:
  

• Thread message preview to ignore hide_FlexTab preference (#28470)

  Added role='link' so that hide_flextab preference is ignored on this DOM node.

• Unauthorized Toast Message when accessing a channel's team that user are not a member (#28670)

  Complementary it replaces useEndpointData in favor of useQuery

• Unnecessary useQuery refetch (#28451)

  Sometimes when the user focuses on the window that is running the Rocket.Chat some queries are triggered again without a reason, to prevent this to happen I added a option to useQuery hook, refetchOnWindowFocus: false

  Queries impacted:

  • useThreadMainMessageQuery.ts - called when has to get the thread main message, for e.g in thread preview reply

  • useHasLicenseModule.ts - called when the client starts to show/hide certain areas that are restricted by licenses, this don't change very often

• use raw image url (#28861 by @avelino)

• videoconf stream (#28455)

• Whatsapp quotes not working due to livechat url change (#29153)

• When clicking on display option their checked status does not changes (#27881 by @AdityaSingh-02)

• word break in rcx-message-body (#28904)

  Changes made on the fuselage repo: fix(fuselage): word break in rcx-message-body fuselage#1028
  The CSS added into rcx-message-body word-break: break-all; was breaking a word in the middle in the messages.

  To change this behavior and break the entire word I changed to word-break: break-word;
