no issue
The default recipients setting "Usually nobody" was being respected with the email recipient list defaulting to no members selected. However the UI for that state was confusing because the default publish options ended up being "Publish and email" and "Not sent as a newsletter" but it was expected to be "Publish" with the newsletter option being disabled.
- updated the `PublishOptions` setup to reflect the desired outcome for "Usually nobody"
- default publish type is set to "Publish"
- default email recipients are set to match post visibility - this means there are fewer clicks required when switching from "Publish" to "Publish and send"
- updated mirage data setup so any members created are automatically assigned to any newsletter instance with `subscribeOnSignup` set
- ensures we get proper member counts in the publish flow
no issue
- fixed incorrect conversion of time when converting between site tz and utc when setting scheduled hour/minute in publish flow
- we initially created a UTC `newDate` moment from `publishOptions.scheduledAtUTC` but then used `newDate.tz(siteTimezone).format()` to get the time which was the source of the bug, it was assumed that was a non-destructive action returning a new date but it actually changed the underlying date resulting in the later calculations causing timezone adjustments to be applied twice
- simplified by not converting to UTC inside the publish-at component as that's already handled inside PublishOptions
- fixed time not resetting to minimum schedule time when set to earlier date than allowed
no issue
Problem:
- the server stores time with second-level precision but we send milliseconds
- when scheduling a post we were storing the selected publish-at time in the PublishOptions instance with non-zero milliseconds as the initial date was based on now+5mins
- when we were saving after the initial schedule that millisecond-containing time was still being used resulting in a perceived time difference in our client-side and server-side validations indicating that the published_at value should be updated, but when that time was <2 mins in the future the published_at change validation was triggered resulting in errors
Solution:
- ensure we only set times on PublishOptions with 0 milliseconds
- update client-side validations so we only trigger published_at validation when it's dirty
Also fixed:
- client-side validation errors were not shown on the confirm step due to a missing `.args`

This commit updates admin to align with the changes in the backend in https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/pull/14798
- `post.email_recipient_filter` option and property is renamed to `email_segment`
- `newsletter_id` option is renamed to `newsletter` (and now uses slug instead of id)
- Sending a post via email, means you need to set the `newsletter` option. The `email_segment` option is optional now and defaults to `all`. Not setting `newsletter` means not sending an email, setting `email_segment` is ignored if `newsletter` is missing.
- We can no longer use `email_recipient_filter` (now renamed to `email_segment`) to know whether a post is published/scheduled to be sent as an email. We need to rely on the newsletter relation now. The `email_segment` `none` value has been dropped and will be `all` even if no email will be sent (newsletter will be null).
- `sendEmailWhenPublished` option is no longer supported in the backend.
no issue
- there are no restrictions on Editor/Author emailing on the API side
- removed `user.canEmail` computed property as it's only contributors that don't have publish/email permissions and they aren't shown the publishing flow anyway
no issue
- roles that don't have email permissions also don't have permissions to read newsletters so we shouldn't attempt to fetch any during PublishOptions setup
no issue
Only Admins/Owners can browse members to get member counts but Editors/Authors are allowed to send email. This means we need to account for the count figures being missing.
- added guard to the total member count fetch in `PublishOptions`
- guard needed because the failed API request would abort setup
- when the current user isn't an admin, set the total member count to 1 to avoid email options being disabled
- added guard in the `{{members-count-fetcher}}` resource so we're not triggering API errors and the count is kept as `null` so it's handled automatically if passed to `{{gh-pluralize}}`
- updated `<GhMembersRecipientSelect>` to not show counts (or the surrounding `()`) when the count is `null`
no issue
- `PublishOptions` was exported from the `<EditorLabs::PublishManagement>` component as a convenience when development started but both have now grown in size and are easier to read as separate files

- usage of `color` was incorrect resulting in an infinite loop because the color was not being changed on each iteration
- `Color().lightness()` adjusts via percentage not exact number
- `Color().l()` does not return lightness
refs https://github.com/TryGhost/Team/issues/928
- switched to using `color` for color conversion and adjustments rather than maintaining our own limited utils (preparation to extract our own utils to separate library)
- changed contrast threshold for yiq-based contrast adjustment from `128` to `186` to match Portal's current behaviour
refs https://github.com/TryGhost/Team/issues/927
- added CTA `button and url inputs to email-cta card
- added `textColorForBackgroundColor` color util and used it to add a white/black text color variable that can be used when the accent color is used as a background color
- added `{{hex-adjust}}` helper for modifying lightness and saturation of a hex color
- adjusted inline power-select dropdown styling
no issue
Free and Paid are by far the two most common options for email recipients so it makes more sense to have them as very clear options which we felt was not the case with the single token/segment select.
- created a new `<GhMembersRecipientSelect>` component that has individual checkboxes for free/paid/segment and when segment is selected an additional token input for specific labels
- updated draft and scheduled publish menu components to use the `<GhMembersRecipientSelect>`

follow-up PR of #2
- adds a `timeZone` Service to provide the offset (=timezone reg. moment-timezone) of the users blog settings
- `gh-datetime-input` will read the offset of the timezone now and adjust the `publishedAt` date with it. This is the date which will be shown in the PSM 'Publish Date' field. When the user writes a new date/time, the offset is considered and will be deducted again before saving it to the model. This way, we always work with a UTC publish date except for this input field.
- gets `availableTimezones` from `configuration/timezones` API endpoint
- adds a `moment-utc` transform on all date attr (`createdAt`, `updatedAt`, `publishedAt`, `unsubscribedAt` and `lastLogin`) to only work with UTC times on serverside
- when switching the timezone in the select box, the user will be shown the local time of the selected timezone
- `createdAt`-property in `gh-user-invited` returns now `moment(createdAt).fromNow()` as `createdAt` is a moment date already
- added clock service to show actual time ticking below select box
- default timezone is '(GMT) Greenwich Mean Time : Dublin, Edinburgh, London'
- if no timezone is saved in the settings yet, the default value will be used
- shows the local time in 'Publish Date' in PSM by default, until user overwrites it
- adds dependency `moment-timezone 0.5.4` to `bower.json`

closes#6102
- removes the `xregexp` dependency
- pulls in the non-alphnumeric unicode list directly from the XRegExp library to ensure the word count helper still takes into account unicode strings
The XRegExp dependency was breaking as new browsers add more es6 support as evidenced in #6102. Upgrading to version 3.1.0 fixed the Chrome "experimental JS" issue but was still broken in Safari Technology Preview.
We only use one feature of `XRegExp` in a single place for a relatively non-critical feature: calculating the word count. As such I figured it may be better to drop the 63KB minified dependency and simply copy the result of the compiled regex directly until such time as XRegExp has native support in our supported browsers.

In `gh-content-view-container` the visibility of another DOM node was
being used to detect if a given view was mobile or not. This means the
UI needed to have layout forced (and DOM rendered) before the content
view container would render a second time. This is slow interaction with
the DOM (forcing layout) and slow for Ember's renderer (it needs to
render the container once with a default, then again when the value
changes).
Additionally there were two ways resize was being observed. The
`Window.matchMedia` API was used for some styles and the `ember-resize`
addon used to detect other changes. Here I've unified around just the
`Window.matcheMedia` API but abstracted it behind a service.
Sizes are exposed as properties that can be bound to or used directly in
templates.
