SQL statements fail if the number of variables
exceeds `SQLITE_LIMIT_VARIABLE_NUMBER`.
Remaining repeat_vars() calls are difficult to replace
and use arrays passed from the UI,
e.g. forwarded message IDs or marked as seen IDs.
This PR:
- Moves the note about the false positive to the end of the test output,
where it is more likely to be noticed
- Also notes in test_modify_chat_disordered() and
test_setup_contact_*(), in addition to the existing note in
test_was_seen_recently()
This fixes HTML display of truncated (long) sent messages ("Show full message" in UIs). Before,
incorrect HTML was stored (with missing line breaks etc.) for them. Now stored plaintext is
formatted to HTML upon calling `MsgId::get_html()` and this results in the same HTML as on a
receiver side.
A sync message for accepting or blocking a 1:1 chat may arrive before the first message from the
contact, when it does not exist yet. This frequently happens in non-chatmail accounts that have
moving to the DeltaChat folder disabled because Delta Chat unconditionally uploads sync messages to
the DeltaChat folder. Let's create a hidden contact in this case and a 1:1 chat for it.
with this PR, when an `.xdc` with `request_integration = map` in the
manifest is added to the "Saved Messages" chat, it is used _locally_ as
an replacement for the shipped maps.xdc (other devices will see the
`.xdc` but not use it)
this allows easy development and adapting the map to use services that
work better in some area.
there are lots of known discussions and ideas about adding more barriers
of safety. however, after internal discussions, we decided to move
forward and also to allow internet, if requested by an integration (as
discussed at
https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/pull/3516).
the gist is to ease development and to make users who want to adapt,
actionable _now_, without making things too hard and adding too high
barriers or stressing our own resources/power too much.
note, that things are still experimental and will be the next time -
without the corresponding switch being enabled, nothing will work at
all, so we can be quite relaxed here :)
for android/ios, things will work directly. for desktop, allow_internet
needs to be accepted unconditionally from core. for the future, we might
add a question before using an integration and/or add signing. or sth.
completely different - but for now, the thing is to get started.
nb: "integration" field in the webxdc-info is experimental as well and
should not be used in UIs at all currently, it may vanish again and is
there mainly for simplicity of the code; therefore, no need to document
that.
successor of https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/pull/5461
this is how it looks like currently - again, please note that all that
is an experiment!

... when going out of experimental, there are loots of ideas, eg.
changing "Start" to "integrate"
There were many cases in which "member added/removed" messages were added to chats even if they
actually do nothing because a member is already added or removed. But primarily this fixes a
scenario when Alice has several devices and shares an invite link somewhere, and both their devices
handle the SecureJoin and issue `ChatGroupMemberAdded` messages so all other members see a
duplicated group member addition.
This adds a function to `Message`:
```rust
pub fn new_text(text: String) -> Self {
Message {
viewtype: Viewtype::Text,
text,
..Default::default()
}
}
```
I keep expecting that a function like this must exist and being
surprised that it doesn't.
Open question is whether it should be `pub` or `pub(crate)` - I made it
`pub` for now because it may be useful for others and we currently we
aren't thinking about the Rust API that much, anyway, but I can make it
`pub(crate)`, too (then it can't be used in deltachat-jsonrpc and
deltachat-repl).
I replaced some usages of Message::new(Viewtype::Text), but not all yet,
I'm going to do this in a follow-up, which will remove another around 65
LOC.
0a63083df7 (fix: Shorten message text in locally sent messages too)
sets `msgs.mime_modified` for long outgoing messages, but forgets to save full message text.
Received messages shouldn't mingle with just sent ones and appear somewhere in the middle of the
chat, so we go after the newest non fresh message.
But if a received outgoing message is older than some `InSeen` message, better sort the received
message purely by timestamp (this is an heuristic in order not to break the Gmail-like case
simulated by `verified_chats::test_old_message_4()`). We could place the received message just
before that `InSeen` message, but anyway the user may not notice it.
At least this fixes outgoing messages sorting for shared accounts where messages from other devices
should be sorted the same way as incoming ones.
Instead of treating NULL type error
as absence of the row,
handle NULL values with SQL.
Previously we sometimes
accidentally treated a single column
being NULL as the lack of the whole row.
Info messages are added
at the beginning of unpromoted group chats
("Others will only see this group after you sent a first message."),
may be created by WebXDC etc.
They are not sent outside
and have local Message-ID that
is not known to other recipients
so they should be skipped when constructing
In-Reply-To and References.
Instead of generating 72 random bits
and reducing them to 66 bits of Base64 characters,
generate 144 bits (18 bytes)
which is exactly 24 Base64 characters.
This should still be accepted by existing
Delta Chat clients which expect group ID
to be between 11 and 32 characters.
Message-ID creation is also simplified
to not have `Mr.` prefix
and dot in between two IDs.
Now it is a single ID followed by `@localhost`.
Some outdated documentation comments
are removed, e.g. group messages
don't start with `Gr.` already.
Why:
- With IMAP APPEND we can upload messages directly to the DeltaChat folder (for non-chatmail
accounts).
- We can set the `\Seen` flag immediately so that if the user has other MUA, it doesn't alert about
a new message if it's just a sync message (there were several such reports on the support
forum). Though this also isn't useful for chatmail.
- We don't need SMTP envelope and overall remove some overhead on processing sync messages.
Groups promotion to other devices and QR code tokens synchronisation are not synchronised processes,
so there are reasons why a QR code token may arrive earlier than the first group message:
- We are going to upload sync messages via IMAP while group messages are sent by SMTP.
- If sync messages go to the mvbox, they can be fetched earlier than group messages from Inbox.
This makes possible to schedule one more sending of the message, the existing jobs are not
cancelled. Otherwise it's complicated to implement bots that resend messages when a new member joins
the group.
Follow-up to 3cf78749df "Emit DC_EVENT_MSGS_CHANGED for
DC_CHAT_ID_ARCHIVED_LINK when the number of archived chats with unread messages increases (#3940)".
In general we don't want to make an extra db query to know if a noticied chat is
archived. Emitting events should be cheap, better to allow false-positive `MsgsChanged` events.
`Context::send_sync_msg()` mustn't be called from multiple tasks in parallel to avoid sending the
same sync items twice because sync items are removed from the db only after successful
sending. Let's guarantee this by calling `send_sync_msg()` only from the SMTP loop. Before
`send_sync_msg()` could be called in parallel from the SMTP loop and another task doing
e.g. `chat::sync()` which led to `test_multidevice_sync_chat` being flaky because of events
triggered by duplicated sync messages.
Before, update sending might be delayed due to rate limits and later merged into large
messages. This is undesirable for apps that want to send large files over WebXDC updates because the
message with aggregated update may be too large for actual sending and hit the provider limit or
require multiple attempts on a flaky SMTP connection.
So, don't aggregate updates if the size of an aggregated update will exceed the limit of 100
KiB. This is a soft limit, so it may be exceeded if a single update is larger and it limits only the
update JSON size, so the message with all envelopes still may be larger. Also the limit may be
exceeded when updates are sent together with the WebXDC instance when resending it as the instance
size isn't accounted to not complicate the code. At least this is not worse than the previous
behaviour when all updates were attached.
SQLite search with `LIKE` is case-insensitive only for ASCII chars. To make it case-insensitive for
all messages, create a new column `msgs.txt_normalized` defaulting to `NULL` (so we do not bump up
the database size in a migration) and storing lowercased/normalized text there when the row is
created/updated. When doing a search, search over `IFNULL(txt_normalized, txt)`.
Otherwise it's impossible to remove a member with missing key from a protected group. In the worst
case a removed member will be added back due to the group membership consistency algo.
