while adapting strings for the recent change about read receipts,
https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/pull/5712 , it turns
out in discussions eg. at
https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-android/issues/3179 that
untranslated english for the read receipts seem to be sufficient or even
better:
- do not reveal the sender's language
- unexpected languages are confusing - even if you chat in english, you
may get Chinese read receipts
- many clients do not show the text anyways, iirc, eg. Outlook display
the read receipts in context, and Delta Chat of course as well
- afaik, we're leaving comparable `multipart/report` untranslated as
well (sync, but also webxdc updates are practically english only)
- less code, fewer translations needed :)
This protects Bob (the joiner) of sending unexpected-unencrypted messages during an otherwise nicely
running SecureJoin.
If things get stuck, however, we do not want to block communication -- the chat is just
opportunistic as usual, but that needs to be communicated:
1. If Bob's chat with Alice is `Unprotected` and a SecureJoin is started, then add info-message
"Establishing guaranteed end-to-end encryption, please wait..." and let `Chat::can_send()` return
`false`.
2. Once the info-message "Messages are guaranteed to be e2ee from now on" is added, let
`Chat::can_send()` return `true`.
3. If after SECUREJOIN_WAIT_TIMEOUT seconds `2.` did not happen, add another info-message "Could not
yet establish guaranteed end-to-end encryption but you may already send a message" and also let
`Chat::can_send()` return `true`.
Both `2.` and `3.` require the event `ChatModified` being sent out so that UI pick up the change wrt
`Chat::can_send()` (this is the same way how groups become updated wrt `can_send()` changes).
SECUREJOIN_WAIT_TIMEOUT should be 10-20 seconds so that we are reasonably sure that the app remains
active and receiving also on mobile devices. If the app is killed during this time then we may need
to do step 3 for any pending Bob-join chats (right now, Bob can only join one chat at a time).
shows the last reaction in chatlist's summaries if there is no
newer message.
the reason to show reactions in the summary, is to make them a _little_
more visible when one is not in the chat. esp. in not-so-chatty or in
one-to-ones chats this becomes handy: imaging a question and someone
"answers" with "thumbs up" ...
otoh, reactions are still tuned down on purpose: no notifications, chats
are opend as usual, the chatlist is not sorted by reactions and also the
date in the summary refer to the last message - i thought quite a bit
about that, this seems to be good compromise and will raise the fewest
questions. it is somehow clear to the users that reactions are not the
same as a real message. also, it is comparable easy to implement - no
UI changes required :)
all that is very close to what whatsapp is doing (figured that out by
quite some testing ... to cite @adbenitez: if in doubt, we can blame
whatsapp :)
technically, i first wanted to go for the "big solution" and add two
more columns, chat_id and timestamp, however, it seemed a bit bloated if
we really only need the last one. therefore, i just added the last
reaction information to the chat's param, which seems more performant
but also easier to code :)
Currently when a user sets up another device by logging in, a new key is created. If a message is
sent from either device outside, it cannot be decrypted by the other device.
The message is replaced with square bracket error like this:
```
<string name="systemmsg_cannot_decrypt">This message cannot be decrypted.\n\n• It might already help to simply reply to this message and ask the sender to send the message again.\n\n• If you just re-installed Delta Chat then it is best if you re-setup Delta Chat now and choose "Add as second device" or import a backup.</string>
```
(taken from Android repo `res/values/strings.xml`)
If the message is outgoing, it does not help to "simply reply to this message". Instead, we should
add a translatable device message of a special type so UI can link to the FAQ entry about second
device. But let's limit such notifications to 1 per day. And as for the undecryptable message
itself, let it go to Trash if it can't be assigned to a chat by its references.
If the sender of the message in protected group chat
is not a member of the chat, mark the sender name with `~`
as we do it in non-protected chats and set the error
instead of replacing the whole message with
"Unknown sender for this chat. See 'info' for more details."
To send a message to a protected group this way
the sender needs to know the group ID
and sign the message with the current verified key.
Usually this is just a late message
delivered shortly after the user has left
the group or was removed from it.
Replacing the message with a single error text part
as done before this change makes it impossible
to access anything other than text, such as attached images.
Before, it was shown by UI when the chat is empty, however, in case of
verified groups, this is never the case any longer as the 'e2ee now
guaranteed' is always added.
This commit adds new stock strings
"I added member ...",
"I removed member ..." and
"I left the group" that are sent over the network
and are visible in classic MUAs like Thunderbird.
Member name in these messages uses authname
instead of the display name,
so the name set locally does not get leaked when
a member is added or removed.
Message.set_text() and Message.get_text() are modified accordingly
to accept String and return String.
Messages which previously contained None text
are now represented as messages with empty text.
Use Message.set_text("".to_string())
instead of Message.set_text(None).
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)
get_chat_msgs() function is split into new get_chat_msgs() without flags
and get_chat_msgs_ex() which accepts booleans instead of bitflags.
FFI call dc_get_chat_msgs() is still using bitflags for compatibility.
JSON-RPC calls get_message_ids() and get_message_list_items()
accept booleans instead of bitflags now.
All contexts created by the same account manager
share stock string translations. Setting translation on
a single context automatically sets translations for all other
accounts, so it is enough to set translations on the active account.
#3491 introduced a bug that your address is only replaced in the first group you write to, which was rather hard to fix. In order to be able to release something, we agreed to revert it and instead only replace the contacts in verified groups (and in broadcast lists, if the signing key is verified).
Highlights:
* Revert "Only do the AEAP transition in the chat where it happened"
This reverts commit 22f4cd7b79.
* Only do the transition for verified groups (and broadcast lists)
To be exact, only do the transition if the signing key fingerpring is
verified. And only do it in verified groups and broadcast lists
* Slightly adapt string to this change
* Changelog
