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
following `RELEASE.md`, after merging, the following is needed:
6. Tag the release: `git tag --annotate v1.151.2`.
7. Push the release tag: `git push origin v1.151.2`.
8. Create a GitHub release: `gh release create v1.151.2 --notes ''`.
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](https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-android/pull/2138/commits/e5dc8fe3d82e8b72631ae5806e9c4c7eec93a37a)
[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
```
