`deltachat.const` module now defines `__getattr__` and `__dir__` as
suggested by https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0562/
mypy detects that `__getattr__` is defined and does not show errors
for `DC_*` constants which cannot be detected statically.
mypy is added to `tox.ini`, so type check can be run with `tox -e mypy`.
utcfromtimestamp() is not recommended by the official documentation,
because many methods, including timestamp(), work incorrectly with
"naive" datetimes returned by utcfromtimestamp().
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
- Python should raise exceptions on error. Not return False.
- Negative durations are nonense.
- ChatID validity is already checked by the Rust API, let's not duplicate.
This effectively reverts
https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/pull/964 for chat.rs,
which in that PR was thought to fix something. So maybe something is
still broken? But after improving tests the previous code seems to be
correct.
- Update Python bindings to not always use dc_prepare_msg path when
sending messages with attachements. When using dc_prepare_msg the
blobs need to be created in the blobdir since they will not get
copied and many tests where not doing this.
- Add a test that ensures that calling dc_prepare_msg with a
file **not** in the blobdir fails.
- Add a test that ensures that calling dc_send_msg directly with a
file **not** in the blobdir copies the file to the blobdir. This
test cheats a little by knowing what the filename in the blobdir
will be which is implementation-dependent and thus a bit brittle.
But for now it proves correct behaviour so let's go with this.
- Improve the test_forward_increation test to ensure that the
in-creation file only has it's final state before calling
dc_send_msg. This checks the correct file data is sent out and not
the preparing data, this fails with the chat.rs changes in
#964 (reverted here to make this work again). Also fix the test to
actually create the in-creation file in the blobdir.
- Fix test_send_file_twice_unicode_filename_mangling to not use
in-creation. It was not creating it's files in the blobdir and that
is an error when using in-creation and it didn't seem it was trying
to test something about the in-creation logic (which is tested in
test_increation.py already).
- Fix Message._msgtate code which presumably was not used before?
- Rename `BlobObject::create_from_path` to
`BlobObject::new_from_path`. All the `BlobObject::create*` calls
now always create new files which is much more consistent. APIs
should do what is obious.
