Had to tweak statusnet.ini to remove the DB_DATAOBJECT_MYSQLTIMESTAMP bitfield constant on session.modified; while it sounds like a useful and legit setting, it actually just means that DB_DataObject silently fails to pass through any attempts to explicitly set the value. As a result, MySQL does its default behavior which is to insert the current *LOCAL* time, which is useless.
This was leading to early GC west of GMT, or late GC east of it. Early GC could at worst destroy all live sessions (whoever's session *triggered* GC is fine, as the session then gets saved right back.)
* adds Right::CREATEGROUP
* logic in Profile::hasRight() checks for silencing
* NewgroupAction checks for the permission before letting you see or process the form in the UI
* User_group::register() logic does a low-level check on the specified initial group admin, and rejects creation if that user doesn't have the right; guaranteeing that API methods etc will also have this restriction applied sensibly.
Big thanks to the folks at http://pecl.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=16745 for the secret juju!
Classes were being torn down before session save handlers got called at the end of the request, which exploded with complaints about being unable to find various classes.
Registering a shutdown function lets us explicitly close out the session before everything gets torn down.
Code was doing a batch call to $avatar->delete() which fails to properly engage the file deletion code. Calling the existing profile->delete_avatars() function deletes them individually, which makes it all work nice again.
* moved some translator comments that were not directly above the line with the message to the correct location.
* i18n for UI text.
* superfluous whitespace removed.
I've consolidated the checks for which user to use for single-user mode into User::singleUser(), which now uses the configured nickname by preference, falling back to the site owner if it's unset.
This is now called consistently from the places that needed to use the primary user's nickname in routing setup.
Setting $config['singleuser']['nickname'] should now work again as expected.
Doesn't clear all possible cached entries, but this should get the ones that matter most: lookups by id, nickname, and alias. This should ensure that if a group name gets reused as a new group or alias, it should work properly.
There are some user-visible areas that aren't clear such as the 'top groups' lists on the GroupsAction sidebar; if a deleted group appears in those lists it'll go away within an hour when the cached query expires.
