`a.clone_from(&b)` is equivalent to `a = b.clone()` in functionality,
but can be overridden to reuse the resources of a to avoid unnecessary
allocations.
Let's add a 1-minute tolerance to `Params::MemberListTimestamp`.
This adds to the group membership consistency algo the following properties:
- If remote group membership changes were made by two members in parallel, both of them are applied,
no matter in which order the messages are received.
- If we remove a member locally, only explicit remote member additions/removals made in parallel are
allowed, but not the synchronisation of the member list from "To". Before, if somebody managed to
reply earlier than receiving our removal of a member, we added it back which doesn't look good.
Don't attach selfavatar in "v{c,g}-request" and "v{c,g}-auth-required" messages:
- These messages are deleted right after processing, so other devices won't see the avatar.
- It's also good for privacy because the contact isn't yet verified and these messages are auto-sent
unlike usual unencrypted messages.
Do not include oldest reference, because chat members
which have been added later and have not seen the first message
do not have referenced message in the database.
Instead, include up to 3 recent Message-IDs.
`Param::MemberListTimestamp` was updated only from `receive_imf::apply_group_changes()` i.e. for
received messages. If we sent a message, that timestamp wasn't updated, so remote group membership
changes always overrode local ones. Especially that was a problem when a message is sent offline so
that it doesn't incorporate recent group membership changes.
Add a new crate `deltachat_time` with a fake `struct SystemTimeTools` for mocking
`SystemTime::now()` for test purposes. One still needs to use `std::time::SystemTime` as a struct
representing a system time. I think such a minimalistic approach is ok -- even if somebody uses the
original `SystemTime::now()` instead of the mock by mistake, that could break only tests but not the
program itself. The worst thing that can happen is that tests using `SystemTime::shift()` and
checking messages timestamps f.e. wouldn't catch the corresponding bugs, but now we don't have such
tests at all which is much worse.
The system clock may be adjusted and even go back, so caching system time in code sections where
it's not supposed to change may even protect from races/bugs.
Restart the IO scheduler if needed to make the new config value effective (for `MvboxMove,
OnlyFetchMvbox, SentboxWatch` currently). Also add `set_config_internal()` which doesn't affect
running the IO scheduler. The reason is that `Scheduler::start()` itself calls `set_config()`,
although not for the mentioned keys, but still, and also Rust complains about recursive async calls.
Use `create_smeared_timestamp()` for this. This allows to dedup messages on the receiver -- if it
sees the same Message-ID, but a different timestamp, then it's a resent message that can be deleted.
This allows to send existing messages (incoming and outgoing) taken from encrypted chats, to
unencrypted ones. `Param::ForcePlaintext` is removed as well -- if a message can be sent encrypted
this time, nothing bad with this.
a27e84ad89 "fix: Delete received outgoing messages from SMTP queue"
can break sending messages sent as several SMTP messages because they have a lot of recipients:
`pub(crate) const DEFAULT_MAX_SMTP_RCPT_TO: usize = 50;`
We should not cancel sending if it is such a message and we received BCC-self because it does not
mean the other part was sent successfully. For this, split such messages into separate jobs in the
`smtp` table so that only a job containing BCC-self is canceled from `receive_imf_inner()`. Although
this doesn't solve the initial problem with timed-out SMTP requests for such messages completely,
this enables fine-grained SMTP retries so we don't need to resend all SMTP messages if only some of
them failed to be sent.
Put a copy of Message-ID into hidden headers and prefer it over the one in the IMF header section
that servers mess up with.
This also reverts "Set X-Microsoft-Original-Message-ID on outgoing emails for amazonaws (#3077)".
Before in some places it was correctly calculated by passing the "sent" timestamp to
`calc_sort_timestamp()`, but in other places just the system time was used. In some complex
scenarios like #5088 (restoration of a backup made before a contact verification) it led to wrong
sort timestamps of protection messages and also messages following by them.
But to reduce number of args passed to functions needing to calculate the sort timestamp, add
message timestamps to `struct MimeMessage` which is anyway passed everywhere.
Ad-hoc groups don't have grpid-s that can be used to identify them across devices and thus wasn't
synced until now.
The same problem already exists for assigning messages to ad-hoc groups and this assignment is done
by `get_parent_message()` and `lookup_chat_by_reply()`. Let's reuse this logic for the
synchronisation, it works well enough and this way we have less surprises than if we try to
implement grpids for ad-hoc groups. I.e. add an `Msgids` variant to `chat::SyncId` analogous to the
"References" header in messages and put two following Message-IDs to a sync message:
- The latest message A having `DownloadState::Done` and the state to be one of `InFresh, InNoticed,
InSeen, OutDelivered, OutMdnRcvd`.
- The message that A references in `In-Reply-To`.
This way the logic is almost the same to what we have in `Chat::prepare_msg_raw()` (the difference
is that we don't use the oldest Message-ID) and it's easier to reuse the existing code.
NOTE: If a chat has only an OutPending message f.e., the synchronisation wouldn't work, but trying
to work in such a corner case has no significant value and isn't worth complicating the code.
Otherwise it looks like the message creating a protected group is not verified. For this, use
`sent_timestamp` of the received message as an upper limit of the sort timestamp (`msgs.timestamp`)
of the protection message. As the protection message is added to the chat earlier, this way its
timestamp is always less or eq than the received message's timestamp.
It's not necessary and in other places like add_contact_to_chat_ex() sync messages are also sent
only if there are no system messages sent like MemberAddedToGroup.
Other devices should get the same chat name as the currently used device, i.e. the name a user sees
after renaming the chat. This fix is minor because `improve_single_line_input()` logic isn't going
to change often, but still, and also it simplifies the code.
The second SQL statement calculating chat size
was already fixed in f656cb29be,
but more important statement calculating member list intersection
was overlooked.
As a result, trash chat with members added there due to former bugs
could still appear in similar chats.
- Reduce cross-module dependencies.
- Stop bloating the `sync` module while implementing synchronisation of more entities.
- Now there's the only `ChatId` :)
An error while executing an item mustn't prevent next items from being executed. There was a comment
that only critical errors like db write failures must be reported upstack, but in fact it's hard to
achieve in the current design, there are no error codes or so, so it's bug-prone. E.g.
`ChatAction::Block` and `Unblock` already reported all errors upstack. So, let's make error handling
the same as everywhere and just ignore any errors in the item execution loop. In the worst case we
just do more unsuccessful db writes f.e.
It's sufficient if the local state is updated successfully, no need to fail the whole
operation. Anyway delivery of sync messages and applying them on other devices are beyond of our
control. If an error occurs when generating a sync messages, probably a log message is sufficient,
no need to even show it to a user. As for the tests, anyway there are ones on synchronisation which
perform necessary checks. Particularly, some sync messages can't be generated if an account is
unconfigured. Adding the corresponding checks to the device synchronisation code (and maybe even
more checks in the future) would complicate the code unnecessarily. Even errors caused by bugs in
this code aren't a reason to fail a local operation.
Sync chat contacts across devices for broadcast lists and groups. This needs the corresponding chat
to exist on other devices which is not the case for unpromoted groups, so it fails for them now but
it's only a warning and will work once creation of unpromoted groups is synchronised too.
