Why? because desktop currently fetches the chatlist multiple times, even though it just needs the
chatlistitem for one chat.
Note: @r10s was worried before that exposing the method to get a single updated chatlistitem could
lead to race conditions where the chatlist item is newer than the chatlist order. But I don't think
this will change anything for desktop besides making it a little faster (because currently desktop
fetches the whole chatlist instead of just the entry it needs when an entry updates).
This way is more compatible to JSON-RPC libraries
that do not support receiving notifications from the server
and allows describing event types in the OpenRPC specification.
Event thread converting events to notifications in the FFI
is removed, so it is now possible to construct a dc_jsonrpc_instance_t
while still retrieving events via dc_event_emitter_t.
Otherwise sending a message without plaintext part
resets the signature. It is particularly dangerous
in multidevice case, because it's easy to accidentally
reset the signature on your other device with a non-text message.
I.e. > 500K for the balanced media quality and 130K for the worse one. This can remove animation and
transparency from PNG/WebP, but then a user always can send an image as a file.
Also don't reduce wide/high images if they aren't huge. Among other benefits, this way most of PNG
screenshots aren't touched.
Also remove Exif from all images, not from JPEGs only.
This patch adds new C APIs
dc_get_next_msgs() and dc_wait_next_msgs(),
and their JSON-RPC counterparts
get_next_msgs() and wait_next_msgs().
New configuration "last_msg_id"
tracks the last message ID processed by the bot.
get_next_msgs() returns message IDs above
the "last_msg_id".
wait_next_msgs() waits for new message notification
and calls get_next_msgs().
wait_next_msgs() can be used to build
a separate message processing loop
independent of the event loop.
Async Python API get_fresh_messages_in_arrival_order()
is deprecated in favor of get_next_messages().
Introduced Python APIs:
- Account.wait_next_incoming_message()
- Message.is_from_self()
- Message.is_from_device()
Introduced Rust APIs:
- Context.set_config_u32()
- Context.get_config_u32()
* Don't let blocking be bypassed using groups
Fix#4313
* Fix another bug: A blocked group was sometimes not unblocked when an unblocked contact sent a message into it.
* Small performance improvement by not unnecessarily loading the peerstate
* Remove wrong info message "{contact} verified" when scanning a QR code with just an email
I think that this was a bug in the original C code and then slipped
through two refactorings.

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

update to update the known date.

remove that function and replace it by get_last_release_timestamp that is then updated by
./scripts/set_core_version.py - the result of that is reviewed manually anyway, so that seems to be
a good place (i prefer manual review here and mistrust further automation as also dev or ci clocks
may be wrong :)
that way, UI can just close the transfer dialog,
so that, at the end, both devices end in the chatlist.
we can also use this for troubleshooting -
if the device message is not present,
transfer did not succeed completely.
(a separate device message may be nice in that case -
but that is another effort,
same for making the device message reappear after deletion
or after some time)
some providers say that they support QUOTA in the IMAP CAPABILITY,
but return an empty list without any quota information then.
in our "Connectivity", this looks a bit of an error.
i have not seen this error often - only for testrun.org -
if it is usual, we could also just say "not supported"
(as we do in case QUOTA is not returned).
a translations seems not to be needed for now,
it seems unusual, and all other errors are not translated as well.
Similarly to how `imex_inner()` runs migrations
after successful call to `import_backup()`,
migrations should be run after receiving a backup
using `transfer_from_provider()`.
`install_python_bindings.py` was not used by CI
and scripts, except for `scripts/run-python-test.sh`
which only used it to invoke `cargo`.
Instead of using an additional script,
run cargo directly.
The documentation is updated to remove
references to `install_python_bindings.py`.
The section "Installing bindings from source"
was in fact incorrect as it suggested
running `tox --devenv` first and only then
compiling the library with `install_python_bindings.py`.
Now it explicitly says to run cargo first
and then install the package without using `tox`.
`tox` is still used for running the tests
and setting up development environment.
