Make it return the correct value for non-Group chats.
This also should improve performance, thanks to the fact that
we now don't have to query all the chat's contacts.
Instead we only need confirm that self-contact
is among the group members, and only when the chat type is `Group`.
tokio-tar is unmaintained and has unpatched CVE-2025-62518.
More details on CVE are in <https://edera.dev/stories/tarmageddon>.
tokio-tar is only used for transferring backups
and worst case is that by manually inspecting
a carefully crafted backup user will not see
the same files as get unpacked when importing a backup.
This way, the statistics / self-reporting bot will be made into an
opt-in regular sending of statistics, where you enable the setting once
and then they will be sent automatically. The statistics will be sent to
a bot, so that the user can see exactly which data is being sent, and
how often. The chat will be archived and muted by default, so that it
doesn't disturb the user.
The collected statistics will focus on the public-key-verification that
is performed while scanning a QR code. Later on, we can add more
statistics to collect.
**Context:**
_This is just to give a rough idea; I would need to write a lot more
than a few paragraphs in order to fully explain all the context here_.
End-to-end encrypted messengers are generally susceptible to MitM
attacks. In order to mitigate against this, messengers offer some way of
verifying the chat partner's public key. However, numerous studies found
that most popular messengers implement this public-key-verification in a
way that is not understood by users, and therefore ineffective - [a 2021
"State of Knowledge" paper
concludes:](https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3558482.3581773)
> Based on our evaluation, we have determined that all current E2EE
apps, particularly when operating in opportunistic E2EE mode, are
incapable of repelling active man-in-the-middle (MitM) attacks. In
addition, we find that none of the current E2EE apps provide better and
more usable [public key verification] ceremonies, resulting in insecure
E2EE communications against active MitM attacks.
This is why Delta Chat tries to go a different route: When the user
scans a QR code (regardless of whether the QR code creates a 1:1 chat,
invites to a group, or subscribes to a broadcast channel), a
public-key-verification is performed in the background, without the user
even having to know about this.
The statistics collected here are supposed to tell us whether Delta Chat
succeeds to nudge the users into using QR codes in a way that is secure
against MitM attacks.
**Plan for statistics-sending:**
- [x] Get this PR reviewed and merged (but don't make it available in
the UI yet; if Android wants to make a release in the meantime, I will
create a PR that removes the option there)
- [x] Set the interval to 1 week again (right now, it's 1 minute for
testing)
- [ ] Write something for people who are interested in what exactly we
count, and link to it (see `TODO[blog post]` in the code)
- [ ] Prepare a short survey for participants
- [ ] Fine-tune the texts at
https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-android/pull/3794, and get it
reviewed and merged
- [ ] After the next release, ask people to enable the
statistics-sending
If we use modules (which are actually namespaces), we can use shorter names. Another approach is to
only use modules for internal code incapsulation and use full names like deltachat-ffi does.
Create unprotected group in test_create_protected_grp_multidev
The test is renamed accordingly.
SystemMessage::ChatE2ee is added in encrypted groups
regardless of whether they are protected or not.
Previously new encrypted unprotected groups
had no message saying that messages are end-to-end encrypted
at all.
This mechanism replaces `Chat-Verified` header.
New parameter `_verified=1` in `Autocrypt-Gossip`
header marks that the sender has the gossiped key
verified.
Using `_verified=1` instead of `_verified`
because it is less likely to cause troubles
with existing Autocrypt header parsers.
This is also how https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2045
defines parameter syntax.
MX record lookup was only used to detect Google Workspace domains.
They can still be configured manually.
We anyway do not want to encourage creating new profiles
with Google Workspace as we don't have Gmail OAUTH2 token anymore
and new users can more easily onboard with a chatmail relay.
This allows to send send messages when disconnected
using `send_msg_sync` to create a dedicated connection
and send a single message.
The command can be used for measuring
the duration of SMTP connection establishment.
darwin.apple_sdk.frameworks is deprecated and does nothing according to
<https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/stable/#sec-darwin-legacy-frameworks>
libiconv dependency also does not seem to be needed for `libdeltachat`,
I have checked that `nix build .#libdeltachat` still succeeds on macOS.
Before, the color was computed from the address, but as we've switched to fingerprint-based contact
colors, this logic became stale. Now `deltachat::contact::get_color()` is used. A test would be nice
to have, but as now all the logic is in Core, this isn't critical as there are Core tests at least.
