* draft a download-api
* basic implementation
* allow partial downloads for protected chats
* use a separate column for download_state
* force a minimal timeout for delete_server_after in combination with partial messages
* add a warning if a possible download may expire by delete_server_after
* test load_imap_deletion_msgid()
* add a test for a partial download
* improve documentation and visibility
* let get_download_limit() return Result<Option>
* rusty getters
* apply MIN_DELETE_SERVER_AFTER to shown availability time
* move stub-creation to download.rs, use stock-strings, nicer logging
* make clippy happy (cargo clippy --tests)
* refine tests and comments
* fix typo
* remove superfluous closure in ffi
* respect partial_download for immediately scheduled DeleteMsgOnImap jobs
summary::Summary replaces Lot in the Rust API for methods returning
chatlist summaries. Lot is a legacy type for C API compatibility, so
Summary can be converted into Lot.
Also make Accounts uncloneable. It is still possible to derive Clone,
but does not make sense to do so, as .clone() creates two separate
account managers which use the same files but different unsynchronized
in-memory data structures.
* resultify update_recent_quota()
* add a device-message if quota exceeds QUOTA_WARN_THRESHOLD_PERCENTAGE
* check if a quota warning should be added during housekeeping, this is at least once a day
* dc_get_config("quota_exceeding") is useful for bots
* make clippy happy
* reword QuotaExceedingMsgBody message
* avoid lots of warnings if quota jitters around the warning threshold
* allow clippy::assertions_on_constants
these constants depend on each other, it makes sense to check that they are not changed in an incompatible way
This adds following settings:
- Socks5Enabled
- Socks5Host
- Socks5Port
- Socks5User
- Socks5Password
Currently http requests and dns requests are not getting executed as they currently can't get tunneled through socks5 proxy. Therefore gmail with oauth2 wont work through tor.
- Use the same limit for info: full text can be read in HTML anyway.
- Remove DC_MAX_GET_{TEXT,INFO}_LEN constants from deltachat.h
- Fix a typo: s/DC_ELLIPSE/DC_ELLIPSIS/
- Do not truncate the text when loading from the database.
- Update the documentation: limit is in Rust chars, not bytes
Contact request chats are not merged into a single virtual "deaddrop"
chat anymore. Instead, they are shown in the chatlist the same way as
other chats, but sending of messages to them is not allowed and MDNs
are not sent automatically until the chat is "accepted" by the user.
New API:
- dc_chat_is_contact_request(): returns true if chat is a contact
request. In this case option to accept and block the chat via
dc_accept_chat() and dc_block_chat() should be shown in the UI.
- dc_accept_chat(): accept contact request and unblock the chat
- dc_block_chat(): decline contact request and block the chat
Removed API:
- dc_create_chat_by_msg_id(): deprecated 2021-02-07 in favor of
dc_decide_on_contact_request()
- dc_marknoticed_contact(): deprecated 2021-02-07 in favor of
dc_decide_on_contact_request()
- dc_decide_on_contact_request(): this call requires a message ID from
deaddrop chat as input. As deaddrop chat is removed, this call can't
be used anymore.
- dc_msg_get_real_chat_id(): use dc_msg_get_chat_id() instead, the
only difference between these calls was in handling of deaddrop chat
- removed DC_CHAT_ID_DEADDROP and DC_STR_DEADDROP constants
See https://support.delta.chat/t/discussion-how-to-show-error-states/1363/10 <!-- comment -->
It turns out that it's pretty easy to distinguish between lots of states (currently Error/NotConnected, Connecting…, Getting new messages… and Connected). What's not that easy is distinguishing between an actual error and no network, because if the server just doesn't respond, it could mean that we don't have network or that we are trying ipv6, but only ipv4 works.
**WRT debouncing:**
Sending of EVENT_CONNECTIVITY_CHANGED is not debounced, but emitted every time one of the 3 threads (Inbox, Mvbox and Sentbox) has a network error, starts fetching data, or is done fetching data.
This means that it is emitted:
- 9 times when dc_maybe_network() is called or we get network connection
- 12 times when we lose network connection
Some measurements: dc_get_connectivity() takes a little more than 1ms (in my measurements back in March), dc_get_connectivity_html() takes 10-20ms. This means that it's no immmediate problem to call them very often, might increase battery drain though. For the UI it may be a lot of work to update the title everytime; at least Android is smart enough to update the title only once.
Possible problems (we don't have to worry about them now I think):
- Due to the scan_folders feature, if the user has lots of folders, the state could be "Connecting..." for quite a long time, generally DC seemed a little unresponsive to me because it took so long for "Connecting..." to go away. Telegram has a state "Updating..." that sometimes comes after "Connecting...".
To be done in other PRs:
- Better handle the case that the password was changed on the server and authenticating fails, see https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/issues/1923 and https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/issues/1768
- maybe event debouncing (except for "Connected" connectivity events)
fix https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-android/issues/1760
in most (all?) UIs, import/export works on an already created account,
so, dc_accounts_import_account() does not really help here -
but adds some noise and confusion
eg. as for the other dc_accounts_t functions,
the corrsponding dc_context_t functions must not be called.
if really a new account is required for import,
it seems to be easier to call add_account() before import.
Raw MIME messages may contain non-ASCII characters. Attempting to
store them as TEXT by using String::from_utf8_lossy results in
non-ASCII characters being replaced with Unicode U+FFFD "REPLACEMENT
CHARACTER" which is later incorrectly decoded when attempting to parse
`mime_headers` content into HTML.
New `dc_msg_is_bot()` C API and corresponding `Message.is_bot()`
Python API can be used to check if incoming message is sent by a bot,
e.g. to avoid two echo bots replying indefinitely to each other.
"Bot" flag is not set for outgoing messages, but may be set for
BCC-self messages. For now documentation says that `dc_msg_is_bot()`
return value is unspecified for outgoing messages. It can be better
specified later if needed for specific applications, e.g. sharing an
account with a helper bot.
