the 'device chat about' was shown as a single message
as at that time, there was just not 'status'.
meanwhile, we have the status option,
and it feels much more natural to get the information there,
esp. as the subtitle on all UIs already read
'Messages in this chat are generated locally' -
and a tap on that will show the hint, without scrolling or so.
this also teaches the user where to find such information -
and the "welcome" chat is less spammy and really starts with the text
"Welcome to Delta Chat!"
Contact request chats are not merged into a single virtual "deaddrop"
chat anymore. Instead, they are shown in the chatlist the same way as
other chats, but sending of messages to them is not allowed and MDNs
are not sent automatically until the chat is "accepted" by the user.
New API:
- dc_chat_is_contact_request(): returns true if chat is a contact
request. In this case option to accept and block the chat via
dc_accept_chat() and dc_block_chat() should be shown in the UI.
- dc_accept_chat(): accept contact request and unblock the chat
- dc_block_chat(): decline contact request and block the chat
Removed API:
- dc_create_chat_by_msg_id(): deprecated 2021-02-07 in favor of
dc_decide_on_contact_request()
- dc_marknoticed_contact(): deprecated 2021-02-07 in favor of
dc_decide_on_contact_request()
- dc_decide_on_contact_request(): this call requires a message ID from
deaddrop chat as input. As deaddrop chat is removed, this call can't
be used anymore.
- dc_msg_get_real_chat_id(): use dc_msg_get_chat_id() instead, the
only difference between these calls was in handling of deaddrop chat
- removed DC_CHAT_ID_DEADDROP and DC_STR_DEADDROP constants
Even if chat has no messages, contacts should not be deleted.
Otherwise chat will reference invalid contact ID which can't be loaded
from the database, resulting in broken contact list in group chats.
Using `impl AsRef<str>` as the argument instead of `&str` makes it
possible to call the function with `&str`, `String` and other types
that implement `AsRef` trait.
The cost of it is that compiled binary contains mulitple versions of
the same function, one for each variant of types. If function contains
multiple generic `impl AsRef` arguments, the number of versions possibly
compiled into binary grows exponentially with the number of arguments.
Simple way to avoid it is to call `.as_ref()` on the caller side to
convert the argument to `&str`. In most cases even adding a `&` and
relying on `Deref` coercion is sufficient.
This patch changes many functions that accepted `impl AsRef<str>` and
`impl AsRef<Path>` to accept `&str` and `&Path` instead.
In some places `.clone()` calls are removed. Calling `.clone()` on
`String` and passing `String` to a function accepting `impl
AsRef<str>` is completely unnecessary as `&str` reference could be
passed instead. There is no clippy warning against it yet, but
changing argument type to `&str` allowed to find these cases.
The result of debloating is not impressive, several hundred kilobytes
are saved, which is about 3% of the `.so` binary, but the code is
cleaner too.
* Remove sql::error submodule
Use anyhow errors instead.
* Remove explicit checks for open SQL connection
An error will be thrown anyway during attempt to execute query.
* Don't use `with_conn()` and remove it
* Remove unused `with_conn_async`
* Resultify markseen_msgs
This feature is similar to existing avatar synchronization.
Whenever encrypted BCC-to-self copy of chat message is received, status
setting is updated with the signature of the message.
the user-given contact name may be set to an empty string;
in this case the authname or the email is used for the contact
and also for the name of possibly existing chats.
this works well for `dc_chat_get_name()` as that just uses
`dc_contact_get_display_name()` for single-chats.
it did not work for `dc_get_chatlist(query)` as that
uses the database for performance reasons -
however, in the database, the empty string is written
instead of the display name is written for a chat.
this is fixed by this pr by also using
dc_contact_get_display_name() when updating the chats-table
(similar to `dc_create_chat_by_contact_id()`)
Switches from rusqlite to sqlx to have a fully async based interface
to sqlite.

blocked mailinglists addresses are added to the contact table
before blocked contact list is created -
(this allows unblocking of blocked lists in previous testing releases,
however, more importantly, it keeps all blocking/unblocking code inside
contacts)
on unblocking such a contact,
the corresponding chat is unblocked as well.
* deprecate mostly unused dc_get_blocked_cnt() api
instead, the size returned by get_blocked_contacts() should be checked,
this is safer and allows easier adaption of blocking rules.
ui or python seems not to use dc_get_blocked_cnt(),
however, there is one test in node,
therefore, the function will continue working for now
(by just returning Contact::get_all_blocked().len() then)
* add decision api to repl tool
* add block/unblock api to repl tool
* unify usage of @deprecated doxygen command
This should make colors used by Delta Chat for emails similar to colors
used by XMPP clients implementing the same specification[1], such as
Conversations and Snikket.
Previously Delta Chat used only hardcoded 16 colors, so this change
should also increase the number of colors and make it easier to
distinguish different contacts.

This changes the internal stock strings API to be more strongly typed,
ensuring that the caller can not construct the stock string in the
wrong way.
The old approach left it to the callers to figure out how a stock
string should be created, now each stock string has their specific
arguments and callers can not make mistakes. In particular all the
subtleties and different ways of calling stock_system_msg() disappear.
This could not use a trait for stock strings, as this would not allow
having per-message typed arguments. So we needed a type per message
with a custom method, only by convention this method is .stock_str().
The type is a enum without variants to avoid allowing someone to
create the type.
Sadly the fallback string and substitutions are still far away from
each other, but it is now only one place which needs to know how to
construct the string instead of many.
The following rules apply now:
1. "name" column is only updated manually and never over the network
2. "authname" column is only updated over the network and never manually
3. Displayname is a "name" if it is non-empty, otherwise it is "authname".
This fixes a known (pytest.xfail) problem of "name" being changed over
the network when user has set it to non-empty string manually.
This also fixes the problem when "name" and "authname"
became unsynchronized accidentally, when they were equal and then
Origin::IncomingUnknownTo update arrived, setting "name" but not
"authname". Rust regression test is added for this case.
* Copypaste-merge my old work
* Start implementing mailinglists the new way
* Create pseudo contact
* Fine-tune docs
* Remove some unnecessary changes
* style
* Make a stock str
* Fix a crash. Yes, this line caused a panic when reconfiguring on Android
(without a reasonable error log). Also, I could not receive any messages
anymore.
* rfmt
* Add tests and make them pass
* Even more tests
* rfmt
* Enhance test and fix bug
* Don't update the sender name when prefetching because maybe it's a mailing list
* Use an enum instead of numbers for the decision
* Don't remove anyone from mailing lists
* Fix bug in the regex
* Adjust error msg
* Compile error after rebase
* Correctly emit event
* Add dc_msg_is_mailing_list so that you can find out whether messages in the deaddrop belong to mailing lists.
* Add received headers to unit tests
* Comments, small tweaks
* Use dc_msg_get_override_sender_name instead of dc_msg_get_sender_name
* Add dc_msg_get_sender_first_name() because sometimes the first name was not correctly shown in mailing lists
* small fixes, don't let the user modify mailing list groups
* Hide contacts for addresses like noreply@github.com and reply+AEJ...@reply.github.com
When testing mailing lists, I noticed that sometimes a mailing list
contact got a name (like, hocuri <noreply@github.com>). It turned out
that ages ago, I had accidentally written an email to - in this example
- hocuri <noreply@github.com> and it had been added to the contacts
list.
This hides email addresses from the contacts list that are obviously not
meant to be written at and prevents updating the names.
* Comment, clippy
* Replace u32 with ChatId
* Resolve lost of small issues from the reviews
* remove dc_msg_get_sender_first_name
* add dc_msg_get_real_chat_id()
this allows to check if a contact request belongs to a mailing list
and to show name/avatar/whatever of the mailinglist.
another approach was to duplicate some chat-apis for messages
(eg. dc_msg_is_mailing_list()) however that would require far more new apis.
the idea to change the behavior of dc_msg_get_chat_id() would be
more clean, however, that easily breaks existing implementations
and can led to hard to find bugs.
* remove now unused Message.is_mailing_list()
* if a name for a mailing list is missing, use List-ID
* fix comment
* fix error message
* document how dc_get_chat_contacts() works for mailing lists
* refine decide api (#2185)
* add DC_DECIDE* constants to deltachat.h, tweak documentation
* use StartChat/Block/NotNow instead of Yes/Never/NotNow
* decide_on_contact_request works on ctx/msg-id
functions working on message-objects
usually do not read or write directly on the database.
therefore, decide_on_contact_request()
should not work with message-objects as well,
it is even a bit misleading, as eg. chat-id of the object is not modified.
instead, the function works on context,
similar to dc_send_msg(), dc_create_chat() and so on.
for now, i moved it to context, could maybe be part od MsgId.
* Update src/chatlist.rs

* refine documentation
* re-add accidentally deleted Param::MailingList
* remove pseudo-contact in domain @mailing.list
1. the pseudo-contact was added to the mailing list contacts,
which is not needed.
might be that we want to add the recent contacts there in a subsequent pr
(we do not know all contacts of a mailing list)
2. the pseudo-contact was used to block
mailing lists; this is done by setting the chat to Blocked::Manually now
3- the pseudo-contact was used for unblocking;
as it is very neat not to require additional ui for mailing list unblocking,
might be that we introduce a similar pseudo-contact for this limited purpose
in a subsequent pr, however, the pseudo-contact needs to exist only
during unblocking then, maybe also the special domain is not needed,
we'll see :)
* Move dc_decide_on_contact_request() up to the dc_context section as it's a member of dc_context now
More specifically, to the "handle messages" section
* re-introduce Chattype::Mailinglist (#2195)
* re-introduce Chattype::Mailinglist
* exhaustive chattype-check in fetch_existing_msgs() and get_summary2()
* exhaustive chattype-check in ndn_maybe_add_info_msg()
* exhaustive chattype-check in message::fill()
* remove dc_chat_is_mailing_list() from ffi

Return error for special IDs. Previously "No encryption." was returned for DC_CONTACT_ID_SELF.
Show "No encryption." if peerstate is reset.
Never talk about transport encryption: it is misleading. Even if TLS is used for client IMAP and SMTP connections, MTA-MTA connection may be unencrypted if MX does not support STARTTLS.
Add a Rust test.
This removes the proxy via crate::error to depend on anyhow directly.
There is no benefit to this indirection and this makes it simpler to
see which error types are used.
instead, dc_contact_get_display_name() should be used.
dc_contact_get_first_name() was created to save some space on the screen,
esp. on mobile devices,
however, this does not always work and has issues on its own
with some names ("Dr. Strangelove", ":) Name" and so on).
as with mailing lists, more apis with first_name() would be needed,
we decided to drop that instead of following that way.
it is also less an issue as some years ago as screens have become larger,
if really, needed, the ui can handle that more gracefully,
however, just using dc_contact_get_display_name() should be fine as well.
when seeing our own profile image send from other devices,
we use them as Selfavatar on the current device as well.
as there is no special message sent on avatar changes,
this is a simple approach to sync the avatar across devices.
