v2.50.1

Description

Adds a general Temporal News feed to the OSS UI, available from desktop top navigation and mobile/bottom navigation when news fetching is enabled. Provides the latest news on releases, events and other important topics related to Temporal.

What Changed

• Added a NewsFeedWidget trigger with unread/read megaphone icons.

• Added a NewsFeedModal that displays feed items with markdown-rendered content, refresh controls, last-fetched timestamp, loading/empty/error states, and an “Automatically fetch news” preference.

• Added persistent News Feed state:

  • cached feed payload
  • generated client UUID
  • last fetched timestamp
  • last seen server timestamp for unread detection
  • auto-fetch preference

• Added a 24-hour automatic refresh interval, plus manual refresh with cache reload.

• Added typed feed parsing and validation for server_time, item IDs, priority, tags, publish dates, and expiration dates.

• Filters expired items and sorts visible items by priority, then newest publish time.

• Fetches from https://newsfeed.temporal.io/feed_en.json with client, cluster, and source=web-ui query params and credentials: 'omit'.

• Adds server/UI config gating via disableNewsFetch.

  • Docker env: TEMPORAL_DISABLE_NEWS_FETCH
  • Included in development and auth configs.
  • Mapped through /api/v1/settings and UI Settings.

• Hides the News Feed in Cloud UI and when disableNewsFetch is true.

• Added dark-mode support for markdown previews, including explicit theme passing from nav contexts.

• Improved markdown iframe height handling so theme changes and hidden modal rendering do not inflate preview height.

• Added new megaphone and megaphone-unread Holocene icons.

• Added i18n strings for News Feed labels, empty/loading text, unread trigger labels, and last-fetched copy.

• Updated the markdown render route CSP construction without changing the effective sandbox policy.
