this known date we check if the system clock is wrong (if earlier than known date) and if the used
Delta Chat version may be outdated (1 year passed since known date). while this does not catch all
situations, it catches quite some errors with comparable few effort.

get_provider_update_timestamp() for exactly that purpose - it is checked manually by some dev and
updated from time to time, usually before a release.

update to update the known date.

remove that function and replace it by get_last_release_timestamp that is then updated by

a good place (i prefer manual review here and mistrust further automation as also dev or ci clocks

scripts/update-provider-database.sh checks out the provider database
and updates data.rs file,
making it easier to update.
CI uses this script to check that checked in data.rs
corresponds to the provider database repository.
Gmail archives messages marked as `\Deleted` by default if those messages aren't in the Trash. But
if move them to the Trash instead, they will be auto-deleted in 30 days.

Previously MX records were queried only for OAuth 2 configuration and
did not affect the list of servers tried. User was required to manually
configure the servers for Google Workspace (former GSuite) domains.
Now MX records are queried during configuration. If provider is found in
offline database, its ID, corresponding to the filename, is saved as
`configured_provider`.
`configured_provider` is also set during database migration if email
address uses the domain from the provider database, but no MX querying
is done.
LoginParamNew structure, which contained possible IMAP and SMTP
configurations to try is replaced with uniform vectors of ServerParams
structures. These vectors are initialized from provider database, online
Mozilla or Outlook XML configuration or user entered parameters.
During configuration, vectors of ServerParams are expanded to replace
unknown values with all possible variants, which are tried one by one
until configuration succeeds or all variants for a particular protocol
(IMAP or SMTP) are exhausted.
ServerParams structure is moved into configure submodule, and all
dependencies on it outside of this submodule are removed.
