This release contains much of the remaining work from last year's GSoC students, and various other contributors - thanks to you all! (almost 200 commits)

If you've been waiting for autocomplete, popup notifications, mentions, better themes, search & platform support...this release is for you!

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Autocomplete users/groups/streams/emoji when composing messages, given a prefix (ctrl+f / ctrl+r)
  • Popup notifications for private messages & mentions (NOTE: disabled by default; tools may be required on WSL/Linux)
  • See details of messages in which you are mentioned - narrow to them using #
  • All themes now considered usable (light/blue much improved)
  • Search for messages only within a specific narrow, not just within all messages
  • Support added for running on Python 3.8 and PyPy, and also on WSL (including WSL2)
  • Sample Dockerfiles added, to enable building containers to run from any docker-enabled system

Interactivity improvements

  • Improved topic list handling (search topics, topics update)
  • Support /me slash command
  • Toggle display of stream description using i
  • Enable/disable autohide setting at startup
  • Extend support for vim-like navigation (scrolling)

Visual improvements

  • Add support to render tables in messages
  • Improve rendering of links in messages
  • Categorize and further reorganize help menu
  • Show the year of a message, if it is not the current year
  • Show server name & description in the title bar

Important bugfixes

  • Bug causing occasional screen corruption at startup (#456)
  • On changing to a narrow which contains the focused message, retain focus on that message
  • Message search results correctly reset between searches
  • Improved unread count handling

Infrastructure changes

  • Split linters into separate Travis tasks to improve developer understanding
  • Replace pytest-pep8 with pycodestyle for PEP8 linting
  • Add isort as linter/reformatter for imports
  • Use pip instead of pipenv in Travis to improve CI speed
  • Depend upon later versions of zulip, urwid & urwid-readline packages
