`OutPreparing` is deprecated since 2024-12-07, replace it with `OutDraft` to let the user review
such messages if any. `OutMdnRcvd` is not used in the db for new messages since
a30c6ae1f7, `OutDelivered` is stored instead.
Remove unused info_only option from `get_chat_msgs_ex()`.
This option was meant to show an "audit log" of a group, i.e. only the
info messages. This feature was removed again from Desktop, but the
option still lingered around in Core.
This also adds a doc comment to the JsonRPC functions, because I
wanted to note somewhere that the parameter is deprecated, and I needed
some place to put this note.
Closes https://github.com/chatmail/core/issues/7980.
Unpublished transports are not advertised to contacts, and self-sent messages are not sent there, so that we don't cause extra messages to the corresponding inbox, but can still receive messages from contacts who don't know the new relay addresses yet.
- This adds `list_transports_ex()` and `set_transport_unpublished()` JsonRPC functions
- By default, transports are published, but when updating, all existing transports except for the primary one become unpublished in order not to break existing users that followed https://delta.chat/legacy-move
- It is not possible to unpublish the primary transport, and setting a transport as primary automatically sets it to published
An alternative would be to change the existing list_transports API rather than adding a new one list_transports_ex. But to be honest, I don't mind the _ex prefix that much, and I am wary about compatibility issues. But maybe it would be fine; see b08ba4bb8 for how this would look.
this adds an api to make the newest incoming message of a chat as "fresh",
so that UI can offer a "mark chat unread" option as usual for messengers
(eg. swipe right on iOS toggels between "read" and "unread").
"mark unread" is one of the most requested missing features,
used by many ppl to organize their every day messenger usage -
tho "pinning" and "saved messages" are similar,
it seems to be missed often.
we follow a very simple approach here
and just reset the state to `MessageState::InFresh`.
this does not introduce new states or flows.
therefore, chats without any incoming message cannot be marked as fresh.
in practise, this is probably not really an issue,
as the "mark fresh" is usually used to undo a "mark noticed" operation -
and then you have incoming message.
also, most status messages as "all messages are e2ee" count as incoming.
to avoid double sending of MDN,
we remove `Param::WantsMdn` once the MDN is scheduled.
in case MDN are used for syncing, MDN is still sent as before.
many other messenger show a "badge without number",
if we want that as well,
we can always track the "manually set as fresh" state in a parameter.
but for now, it is fine without and showing a "1", which alsso makes sense as badges may be summed up.
there is an iOS pr that uses this new feature,
jsonrpc is left out until api is settled.
also out of scope is synchronisation -
main reason is that "mark noticed" is not synced as well, so we avoid an imbalance here.
both, "mark noticed" as well as "mark fresh" should be synced however,
as soon as this feature is merged.
encryption info needs a dedicated string for "Messages are end-to-end encrypted"
as the UI will add more infomation to the info messages,
smth. as "Tap for more information".
an alternative fix would have been to let the UI render the info-message
differently, but adding another string to core causes less friction.
fix https://github.com/chatmail/core/issues/7766
Implementation notes:
- Descriptions are only sent with member additions, when the description
is changed, and when promoting a previously-unpromoted group, in order
not to waste bandwith.
- Descriptions are not loaded everytime a chat object is loaded, because
they are only needed for the profile. Instead, they are in their own
table, and can be loaded with their own JsonRPC call.

this PR cleans up with some easy, deprecated stuff.
i roughly checked that they are no longer in use - by these checks,
other deprecated function were kept, eg.
dc_provider_new_from_email_with_dns() and dc_chat_is_protected() is
still used by deltatouch - to not add noise there, we remove them here
on the next cleanup ...
for DC_STR_*, however, if they are in used, the corresponding lines
should just be removed
this will cleanup https://c.delta.chat/deprecated.html as well
Also remove "you can now call 'configure'" from the REPL output, probably users of the REPL tool can
read the code documentation to know when 'configure' should be run.
- DC_CHAT_TYPE_BROADCAST does no longer exist
- DC_CHAT_TYPE_MAILINGLIST is no longer always read-only
- avoid double docs by moving everything to DC_CHAT_TYPE group
(here, things were also updated recently)
It is a follow-up to https://github.com/chatmail/core/pull/7643
Event is not emitted when the transports are modified on this device
and we should consistently say that this event is not only for testing.
There are quite some unneeded stock strings; this PR removes some of
them. None of these stock strings were actually set by the UI, or even
have translations in Transifex.
- We don't have AEAP anymore.
- The "I added/removed member" and "I left the group" strings are
anyways not meant to be shown to the user. Also, starting to translate
them now would leak the device language.
BREAKING CHANGE: This can theoretically be a breaking change because a
UI could reference one of the removed stock strings, so I marked it as
breaking just in case.
- Db encryption does nothing with blobs, so fs/disk encryption is recommended.
- Isolation from other apps is needed anyway.
- Experimental database encryption was removed on iOS and Android.
- Delta Touch is using CFFI API with a manually entered password because Ubuntu Touch does not offer
filesystem or disk encryption, but we don't want new users of these APIs, such as bot developers.
Add a stock string `%1$s invited you to join this channel.\n\nWaiting
for the device of %2$s to reply…`, which is shown when a user starts to
join a channel.
I did _not_ add an equivalent to `%1$s replied, waiting for being added
to the group…`, which is shown when vg-auth-required was received. I
don't think that this would add any information that's interesting to
the user, other than 'something is happening, hang on'. And the more
text on the screen, the less likely that anyone reads it. But if others
think differently, we can also add it.
With this PR, joining a channel looks like this:
```
Msg#2003: info (Contact#Contact#Info): Messages are end-to-end encrypted. [NOTICED][INFO]
Msg#2004: info (Contact#Contact#Info): Alice invited you to join this channel.
Waiting for the device of Alice to reply… [NOTICED][INFO]
Msg#2007🔒: (Contact#Contact#2001): You joined the channel. [FRESH][INFO]
```
New APIs are JSON-RPC method stop_background_fetch(),
Rust method Accounts.stop_background_fetch()
and C method dc_accounts_stop_background_fetch().
These APIs allow to cancel background fetch early
even before the initially set timeout,
for example on Android when the system calls
`Service.onTimeout()` for a `dataSync` foreground service.
