Users can now subscribe to all comments of particular posts or of all their own posts.
To subscribe/unsubscribe to the particular post (from any user), one can use new POST /v2/posts/:postId/notifyOfAllComments API method with body { "enabled": true/false }.
To subscribe to all user's own posts, they can set notifyOfCommentsOnMyPosts flag to true in user's preferences.
The current status of the subscription can be checked with the new boolean notifyOfAllComments field of the serialized post.
The reply/mention events are always created and cannot be muted with this mechanism.
All comments to the direct message are creates notifications by default to all message recipients. This behavior is not changed, but now any of recipients can disable it using the API method described above.
There are three new event types with this feature:
'post_comment' - a new comment was created in the regular post (direct messages produces a 'direct_comment' event);
'post_comments_subscribe' - user subscribed to all comments of the post;
'post_comments_unsubscribe' - user unsubscribed from all comments of the post.
Fixed
Previously, a single comment could trigger multiple events for the same user. For example, a comment on a direct message mentioning the direct recipient triggered two event events: 'direct_comment' and 'mention_in_comment'. This has now been fixed: a single comment always triggers only one event, and the reply/mention event takes precedence.
