* Fix JavaScript interface with long IDs
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.

* Additional fixes for stringified IDs in JSON
These should be the last two. These were identified using eslint to try
to identify any plain casts to JavaScript numbers. (Some such casts are
legitimate, but these were not.)
Adding the following to .eslintrc.yml will identify casts to numbers:
~~~
no-restricted-syntax:
- warn
- selector: UnaryExpression[operator='+'] > :not(Literal)
message: Avoid the use of unary +
- selector: CallExpression[callee.name='Number']
message: Casting with Number() may coerce string IDs to numbers
~~~
The remaining three casts appear legitimate: two casts to array indices,
one in a server to turn an environment variable into a number.
* Back out RelationshipsController Change
This was made to make a test a bit less flakey, but has nothing to
do with this branch.
* Change internal streaming payloads to stringified IDs as well
Per
https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/5019#issuecomment-330736452
we need these changes to send deleted status IDs as strings, not
integers.
* Redesign video player
* Use new video player on static public pages too
* Use media gallery component on static public pages too
* Pause video when hiding it
* Full-screen sizing on WebKit
* Add aria labels to video player buttons
* Display link card on public status page
* Fix fullscreen from modal sizing issue
* Remove contain: strict property to fix fullscreen from columns
* Add Pinned_toot_section
* Fix add frozen_string_literal
* Fix delete no need controller and tests
* Fix replace query strings to axios params
* Fix change value to accountId and disabling more button
* Make "unfollow" undo pending outgoing follow request too
* Add cancel button to web UI when awaiting follow request approval
* Make the hourglass button do the cancelling
* UploadArea should only preventDefault for Escape
This will make accessibility for some things less effortful, since we won't have to define a prior event handler to do whatever should be happening by default.
* Remove workaround for fixed bug in SettingToggle
SettingToggle was toggling itself in response to keydown of space, and then the keyup was doing it again
* 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
Commit 9d1f8b9d6a scrolls the columns area
when the route changes since the user is likely to want to see the
rightmost column in such cases.
However, redirection is automatic and does not indicate users' intension.
Do not scroll the columns area due to one.
* Refactored Avatar and AvatarOverlay (DRY) to have 'account' as prop.
Also removed animate attribute from compose navigation bar, which should
have never been there. Added test for avatar overlay.
* fix broken tests
* god dammit another bug in tests! travis please let this pass
* formatting in avatar overlay
The feature to pin column could hide the rightmost column, which is
specified with children property of ColumnsArea.
The user is likely to see the column when the property changed, so scroll
the area in such cases.
* fix(status_action_bar): Use aria-pressed for reblog and favourite button
* fix(column_back_button): Keyboard accessible
* fix(status_content): Make focusable and accessible
* fix(dropdown_menu): Use aria-expanded instead of aria-pressed
* fix(emoji_picker_dropdown): Use aria-expanded instead of aria-hidden
* feat(icon_button): Add aria-expanded
* fix(privacy_dropdown): Use aria-expanded instead of aria-hidden
