- Added import-vcard and make-vcard commands to deltachat-repl. These
wrap the corresponding import_vcard() and make_vcard() operations from
src/contact.rs. Each command takes a file path argument specifying the
location of the vCard file to be read or written. The make-vcard command
takes one or more IDs to write to the file.
- Documented commands in "Using the CLI client" section of README.md.

- After the revisions to support key contacts, the 'listcontacts'
command in the repl only lists key-contacts. A separate flag now
has to be passed to Contact::get_all() to list address contacts.
This makes it difficult to run the example in README.md because we
need to see the new contact so we can get its ID for the next
command in the example, that creates a chat by ID.
- Revised 'listcontacts' command to make a second call to
Contact::get_all() with the DC_GCL_ADDRESS flag, then print the
e-mail contacts after the key contacts.
- Revised configuration example in top-level README.md to reflect
current command output.
fixes#7011
Part of #6884
----
- [x] Add new chat type `InBroadcastChannel` and `OutBroadcastChannel`
for incoming / outgoing channels, where the former is similar to a
`Mailinglist` and the latter is similar to a `Broadcast` (which is
removed)
- Consideration for naming: `InChannel`/`OutChannel` (without
"broadcast") would be shorter, but less greppable because we already
have a lot of occurences of `channel` in the code. Consistently calling
them `BcChannel`/`bc_channel` in the code would be both short and
greppable, but a bit arcane when reading it at first. Opinions are
welcome; if I hear none, I'll keep with `BroadcastChannel`.
- [x] api: Add create_broadcast_channel(), deprecate
create_broadcast_list() (or `create_channel()` / `create_bc_channel()`
if we decide to switch)
- Adjust code comments to match the new behavior.
- [x] Ask Desktop developers what they use `is_broadcast` field for, and
whether it should be true for both outgoing & incoming channels (or look
it up myself)
- I added `is_out_broadcast_channel`, and deprecated `is_broadcast`, for
now
- [x] When the user changes the broadcast channel name, immediately show
this change on receiving devices
- [x] Allow to change brodacast channel avatar, and immediately apply it
on the receiving device
- [x] Make it possible to block InBroadcastChannel
- [x] Make it possible to set the avatar of an OutgoingChannel, and
apply it on the receiving side
- [x] DECIDE whether we still want to use the broadcast icon as the
default icon or whether we want to use the letter-in-a-circle
- We decided to use the letter-in-a-circle for now, because it's easier
to implement, and I need to stay in the time plan
- [x] chat.rs: Return an error if the user tries to modify a
`InBroadcastChannel`
- [x] Add automated regression tests
- [x] Grep for `broadcast` and see whether there is any other work I
need to do
- [x] Bug: Don't show `~` in front of the sender's same in broadcast
lists

Note that I removed the following guard:
```rust
if !new_chat_contacts.contains(&ContactId::SELF) {
warn!(
context,
"Received group avatar update for group chat {} we are not a member of.", chat.id
);
} else if !new_chat_contacts.contains(&from_id) {
warn!(
context,
"Contact {from_id} attempts to modify group chat {} avatar without being a member.",
chat.id,
);
} else [...]
```
i.e. with this change, non-members will be able to modify the avatar.
Things were slightly easier this way, and I think that this is in line
with non-members being able to modify the group name and memberlist
(they need to know the Group-Chat-Id, anyway), but I can also change it
back.
- The implementation of listverified was removed in commit
37dc1f5ca0, but it still shows up in
the help and in the auto-complete grammar.
- Removed listverified where it still appears.
closes#6971
This change introduces a new type of contacts
identified by their public key fingerprint
rather than an e-mail address.
Encrypted chats now stay encrypted
and unencrypted chats stay unencrypted.
For example, 1:1 chats with key-contacts
are encrypted and 1:1 chats with address-contacts
are unencrypted.
Groups that have a group ID are encrypted
and can only contain key-contacts
while groups that don't have a group ID ("adhoc groups")
are unencrypted and can only contain address-contacts.
JSON-RPC API `reset_contact_encryption` is removed.
Python API `Contact.reset_encryption` is removed.
"Group tracking plugin" in legacy Python API was removed because it
relied on parsing email addresses from system messages with regexps.

Deduplicate:
- In the REPL
- In `store_from_base64()`, which writes avatars received in headers
- In a few tests
- The saved messages, broadcast, device, archive icons
- The autocrypt setup message
1-2 more PRs, and we can get rid of `BlobObject::create`,
`sanitise_name()`, and some others
this PR removes most usages of the `descr` parameter.
- to avoid noise in different branches etc. (as annoying on similar, at
a first glance simple changes), i left the external API stable
- also, the effort to do a database migration seems to be over the top,
so the column is left and set to empty strings on future updates - maybe
we can recycle the column at some point ;)
closes#6245
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.
this PR adds a function that can be used to create any QR code, in a raw
form.
this can be used to create add-contact as well as add-second-device QR
codes (eg. `dc_create_qr_svg(dc_get_securejoin_qr())`) - as well as for
other QR codes as proxies.
the disadvantage of the rich-formatted QR codes as created by
`dc_get_securejoin_qr_svg()` and `dc_backup_provider_get_qr_svg()` were:
- they do not look good and cannot interact with UI layout wise (but
also tapping eg. an address is not easily possible)
- esp. text really looks bad. even with
[some](e5dc8fe3d8)
[hacks](https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-android/pull/2215) it
[stays buggy](https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-ios/issues/2200);
the bugs mainly come from different SVG implementation, all need their
own quirks
- accessibility is probably bad as well
we thought that time, SVG is a great thing for QR codes, but apart from
basic geometrics, it is not.
so, we avoid text, this also means to avoid putting an avatar in the
middle of the QR code (we can put some generic symbol there, eg.
different ones for add-contact and add-second-device).
while this looks like a degradation, also other messengers use more raw
QR codes. also, we removed many data from the QR code anyway, eg. the
email address is no longer there. that time, sharing QR images was more
a thing, meanwhile we have invite links, that are much better for that
purpose.
in theory, we could also leave the SVG path completely and go for PNG -
which we did not that time as PNG and text looks bad, as the system font
is not easily usable :) but going for PNG would add further challenges
as passing binary data around, and also UI-implemtation-wise, that would
be a larger step. so, let's stay with SVG in a form we know is
compatible.
the old QR code functions are deprecated.
This change introduces new config options
`proxy_enabled` and `proxy_url`
that replace `socks5_*`.
Tested with deltachat-repl
by starting it with
`cargo run --locked -p deltachat-repl -- deltachat-db` and running
```
> set proxy_enabled 1
> set proxy_url ss://...
> setqr dcaccount:https://chatmail.example.org/new
> configure
```
- the `jobs` table is no longer in use,
no need to track files on housekeeping,
no need to clear it from repl tool
- some `Params` were used for jobs table only,
they can be used freely for other purposes on other tables.
param 'protection settings timestamp' was never used in practise,
its code is removed as well, so we can free the Param as well.
Restart the IO scheduler if needed to make the new config value effective (for `MvboxMove,
OnlyFetchMvbox, SentboxWatch` currently). Also add `set_config_internal()` which doesn't affect
running the IO scheduler. The reason is that `Scheduler::start()` itself calls `set_config()`,
although not for the mentioned keys, but still, and also Rust complains about recursive async calls.
Such a message may be assigned to a wrong chat (e.g. undecipherable group msgs often get assigned to
the 1:1 chat with the sender). Add `DownloadState::Undecipherable` so that messages referencing
undecipherable ones don't go to that wrong chat too. Also do not reply to not fully downloaded
messages. Before `Message.error` was checked for that purpose, but a message can be error for many
reasons.
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).
This further reduces the cognitive overload of having many ways to do
something. The same is very easily done using composition. Followup
from 82ace72527.
