Opening the same account (context) from multiple processes is dangerous, can result in duplicate
downloads of the same message etc. Same for account manager, attempts to modify the same
accounts.toml even if done atomically with may result in corrupted files as atomic replacement
procedure does not expect that multiple processes may write to the same temporary file.
accounts.toml cannot be used as a lockfile because it is replaced during atomic update. Therefore, a
new file next to accounts.toml is needed to prevent starting second account manager in the same
directory.
But iOS needs to be able to open accounts from multiple processes at the same time. This is required
as the "share-to-DC extension" is a separate process by iOS design -- this process may or may not be
started while the main app is running. Accounts are not altered however by this extension, so let's
add to the `Accounts::new()` constructor an `rdwr` parameter which allows to read the accounts
config w/o locking the lockfile.
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).
When running `cargo test` in the deltachat-jsonrpc folder,
a new file `openrpc/openrpc.json` will be created with an
[OpenRPC](https://spec.open-rpc.org/) definition.
It can be copy-pasted into the
[OpenRPC playground](https://playground.open-rpc.org/)
and used to generate clients in other languages.
convert `JSONRPCReactions.reactions` to a `Vec<JSONRPCReaction>` with unique reactions and their count, sorted in descending order.

* jsonrpc: `MessageSearchResult`, always include `chat_name`(not an option anymore), also add `author_id` and `chat_type`
* replace .ok_or_else with anyhow context
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.
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()
This changes the JSON-RPC APIs to get a QR code from the backup
provider to block. It means once you have a (blocking) call to
provide_backup() you can call get_backup_qr() or get_backup_qr_svg()
and they will block until the QR code is available.
Calling get_backup_qr() or get_backup_qr_svg() when there is no backup
provider will immediately error.
Desktop does use this as it allows reading QR codes as text from the
clipboard as well as copying the QR text to the clipboard instead of
showing the QR code.
This also removes BackupProvider::join in favour of implementing
Future directly. I wondered about implementing a FusedFutre to make
this a little safer but it would introduce a dependency on the futures
crate in deltachat-ffi which did not exist yet, so I didn't do that.
* jsonrpc: `get_messages` now returns a map with `MessageLoadResult`
instead of failing completely if one of the requested messages could not be loaded.
* add pr number to changelog
* format errors with causes instead of debug output
also for chatlistitemfetchresult
