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()
.wait_for_seen() is unreliable, because sometimes Dovecot
sends only EXISTS to the IDLE connection, but not the FETCH.
Dovecot sends updates like FETCH only if some
connection has already observed the message in previous state
without the \Seen flag.
To avoid this race condition, wait until the core sets the flag,
then FETCH the message manually and check that the flag is set.
dc_configure() spawns a background configuration process.
It should increase the number of context references
so even if we unref the context, it is not dropped
until the end of the configuration process.
Currently running the test
with `pytest tests/test_1_online.py::test_configure_unref`
results in segmentation fault.
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.
There was the following bug:
- Bob has two devices, the second is offline.
- Alice creates a verified group and sends a QR invitation to Bob.
- Bob joins the group.
- Bob's second devices goes online, but sees a contact request instead of the verified group.
- The "member added" message is not a system message but a plain text message.
- Sending a message fails as the key is missing -- message info says "proper enc-key for <Alice>
missing, cannot encrypt".
- Alice has two devices, the second is offline.
- Alice creates a verified group and sends a QR invitation to Bob.
- Bob joins the group and sends a message there. Alice sees it.
- Alice's second devices goes online, but doesn't see Bob in the group.
This allows to distinguish exceptions,
such as database errors, from invalid user input.
For example, if the From: field of the message
does not look like an email address, the mail
should be ignored. But if there is a database
failure while writing a new contact for the address,
this error should be bubbled up.
It's a w/a for "Space added before long group names after MIME serialization/deserialization"
issue. DC itself never creates group names with leading/trailing whitespace, so it can be safely
removed. On the sender side there's no trim() because group names anyway go through
improve_single_line_input(). And I believe we should send the exact name we have in our db. Also
there's no check for leading/trailing whitespace because there may be existing user databases with
group names having such whitespaces.
That's a bug which @Simon-Laux and probably also @hpk42 had, where one malformed incoming (Spam-) mail blocked the receiving of all emails coming after it.
The problem was that from_field_to_contact_id() returned ContactId::UNDEFINED, and then lookup_by_contact() returned Err.
* allow deleting referenced contacts in UI
we are quite often getting requests of users
who want to get rid of some contact in the "new chat" list.
there is already a "delete" option,
but it does not work for referenced contacts -
however, it is not obvious for users that a contact is in use,
esp. of some mailing list or larger chat, old contacts, whatever.
this pr revives an old idea [^1] of "soft deleting" referenced contacts -
this way, the user can remove the annoying entry
without the need to understand complicated things
and finally saying that deletion is impossible :)
once the contact is reused, it will reappear,
however, this is already explained in the confirmation dialog of the UIs.
technically, this pr was simpler as expected as we already have
a Origin::Hidden, that is just reused here.

* update rust doccomment
* update changelog
* avoid races on contact deletion
chats may be created between checking for "no chats" and contact deletion.
this is prevented by putting the statement into an EXCLUSIVE transaction.
* fix failing python test
