Specifically, in v1.2.0 there was a check missing from outgoing webhooks, so a team member creating outgoing webhooks could in theory find a way to listen to messages in private channels containing popular words like "a", "the", "at", etc. For added security, Mattermost v1.2.1 now installs with incoming and outgoing webhooks disabled by default. - -To limit the impact of this security issue, Mattermost v1.2.0 has been removed from the source repo. It is recommended that anyone who's installed v1.2.0 upgrade to v1.2.1 via [the procedure described in the Mattermost Upgrade Guide](https://github.com/mattermost/platform/blob/master/doc/install/Upgrade-Guide.md). - -### Release Highlights - -#### Outgoing webhooks - -- Mattermost users can now interact with external applications using [outgoing webhooks](https://github.com/mattermost/platform/blob/master/doc/integrations/webhooks/Outgoing-Webhooks.md) -- An [application template](https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-integration-giphy) demonstrating user queries sent to the Giphy search engine via Mattermost webhooks now available -- A community application, [Matterbridge](https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge?files=1), shows how to use webhooks to connect Mattermost with IRC - -#### Search Scope Modifiers - -- Adding search term `in:[channel_url_name]` now limits searches within a specific channel -- Adding search term `from:[username]` now limits searches to messages from a specific user - -#### Syntax Highlighting - -- Syntax highlight for code blocks now available for `Diff, Apache, Makefile, HTTP, JSON, Markdown, JavaScript, CSS, nginx, ObjectiveC, Python, XML, Perl, Bash, PHP, CoffeeScript, C, SQL, Go, Ruby, Java, and ini` - -#### Usability Improvements - -- Added tutorial to teach new users how to use Mattermost -- Various performance improvements to support teams with hundreds of users -- Direct Messages "More" menu now lets you search for users by username and real name - -### Improvements - -Onboarding - -- New tutorial explaining how to use Mattermost for new users - -Messaging and Notifications - -- Users can now search for teammates to add to **Direct Message** list via **More** menu -- Users can now personalize Direct Messages list by removing users listed -- Link previews - Adding URL with .gif file adds image below message -- Added new browser tab alerts to indicate unread messages and mentions - -Search - -- Adding search term `in:[channel_url_name]` now limits searches within a specific channel -- Adding search term `from:[username]` now limits searches to messages from a specific user -- Tip explaining search options when clicking into search box - -Integrations - -- [Outgoing webhooks](https://github.com/mattermost/platform/blob/master/doc/integrations/webhooks/Outgoing-Webhooks.md) now available -- Made available [application template showing outgoing webhooks working with Mattermost and external application](https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-integration-giphy) - -User Interface - -- Member list in Channel display now scrollable, and includes Message button to message channel members directly -- Added ability to edit previous message by hitting UP arrow -- Syntax highlighting added for code blocks - - Languages include `Diff, Apache, Makefile, HTTP, JSON, Markdown, Java, CSS, nginx, ObjectiveC, Python, XML, Perl, Bash, PHP, CoffeeScript, C, SQL, Go, Ruby, Java, and ini`. - - Use by adding the name of the language on the first link of the code block, for example: ```python - - Syntax color theme can be defined under **Account Settings** > **Appearance Settings** > **Custom Theme** -- Updated Drag & Drop UI -- Added 24 hour time display option - -Team Settings - -- Added Team Settings option to include account creation URL on team login page -- Added Team Settings option to include link to given team on root page -- Ability to rotate invite code for invite URL - -Extras - -- Added `/shrug KEYWORD` command to output: `¯\_(ツ)_/¯ KEYWORD` -- Added `/me KEYWORD` command to output: _`KEYWORD`_ -- Added setting option to send a message on control-enter instead of enter - -System Console - -- New statistics page -- Configurable option to create an account directly from team page - -#### Bug Fixes - -- Various fixes to theme colors -- Fixed issue with the centre channel scroll position jumping when right hand side was opened and closed -- Added support for simultaneous login to different teams in different browser tabs -- Incoming webhooks no longer disrupted when channel is deleted -- You can now paste a Mattermost incoming webhook URL into the same field designed for a Slack URL and integrations will work - -### Compatibility - -- IE 11 new minimum version for IE, since IE 10 share fell below 5% on desktop -- Safari 9 new minimum version for Safari, since Safari 7 and 8 fell below 1% each on desktop - -#### Config.json Changes from v1.1 to v1.2 - -Multiple settings were added to [`config.json`](./config/config.json).

See v1.2.1 Release Notes for details). - -## Release v1.1.1 (Bug Fix Release) - -Released 2015-10-20 - -### About Bug Fix Releases - -This is a bug fix release (v1.1.1) and recommended only for users needing a fix to the specific issue listed below. All other users should use the most recent major stable build release (v1.1.0). - -[View more information on Mattermost release numbering](https://github.com/mattermost/platform/blob/master/doc/install/release-numbering.md). - -### Release Purpose - -#### Provide option for upgrading database from Mattermost v0.7 to v1.1 - -Upgrading Mattermost v0.7 to Mattermost v1.1 originally required installing Mattermost v1.0 to upgrade from the Mattermost v0.7 database, followed by an install of Mattermost v1.1. - -This was problematic for installing Mattermost with GitLab omnibus since GitLab 8.0 contained Mattermost v0.7 and GitLab 8.1 was to include Mattermost v1.1 - -Therefore Mattermost v1.1.1 was created that can upgrade the database in Mattermost v0.7 to Mattermost v1.1 directly. - -Users who configured Mattermost v0.7 within GitLab via the `config.json` file should consult [documentation on upgrading configurations from Mattermost v0.7 to Mattermost v1.1](https://github.com/mattermost/platform/blob/master/doc/install/Upgrade-Guide.md#upgrading-mattermost-v07-to-v11). - -#### Removes 32-char limit on salts - -Mattermost v1.1 introduced a 32-char limit on salts that broke the salt generating in GitLab and this restriction was removed for 1.1.1. - -## Release v1.1.0 - -Released: 2015-10-16 - -### Release Highlights - -#### Incoming Webhooks - -Mattermost now supports incoming webhooks for channels and private groups. This developer feature is available from the Account Settings -> Integrations menu. Documentation on how developers can use the webhook functionality to build custom integrations, along with samples, is available at http://mattermost.org/webhooks. - -### Improvements - -Integrations - -- Improved support for incoming webhooks, including the ability to override a username and post as a bot instead - -Documentation - -- Added documentation on config.json and System Console settings -- Docker Toolbox replaces deprecated Boot2Docker instructions in container install documentation - -Theme Colors - -- Improved appearance of dark themes - -System Console - -- Client side errors now written to server logs -- Added "EnableSecurityFixAlert" option to receive alerts on relevant security fix alerts -- Various improvements to System Console UI and help text - -Messaging and Notifications - -- Replaced "Quiet Mode" in the Channel Notification Settings with an option to only show unread indicator when mentioned - -### Bug Fixes - -- Fixed regression causing "Get Public Link" on images not to work -- Fixed bug where certain characters caused search errors -- Fixed bug where System Administrator did not have Team Administrator permissions -- Fixed bug causing scrolling to jump when the right hand sidebar opened and closed - -### Known Issues - -- Slack import is unstable due to change in Slack export format -- Uploading a .flac file breaks the file previewer on iOS - -### Compatibility - -#### Config.json Changes from v1.0 to v1.1 - -##### Service Settings - -Multiple settings were added to [`config.json`](./config/config.json) and System Console UI. Prior to upgrading the Mattermost binaries from the previous versions, these options would need to be manually updated in existing config.json file. This is a list of changes and their new default values in a fresh install: -- Under `ServiceSettings` in `config.json`: - - Added: `"EnablePostIconOverride": false` to control whether webhooks can override profile pictures - - Added: `"EnablePostUsernameOverride": false` to control whether webhooks can override profile pictures - - Added: `"EnableSecurityFixAlert": true` to control whether the system is alerted to security updates - -#### Database Changes from v1.0 to v1.1 - -The following is for informational purposes only, no action needed. Mattermost automatically upgrades database tables from the previous version's schema using only additions.

Mattermost will provide links to the location of your assets in Slack's web UI. -- Slack does not export any content from private groups or direct messages that your team has stored in Slack's database. -- The Preview release of Slack Import does not offer pre-checks or roll-back and will not import Slack accounts with username or email address collisions with existing Mattermost accounts. Also, Slack channel names with underscores will not import. Also, mentions do not yet resolve as Mattermost usernames (still show Slack ID).
