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
get_chat_msgs() function is split into new get_chat_msgs() without flags
and get_chat_msgs_ex() which accepts booleans instead of bitflags.
FFI call dc_get_chat_msgs() is still using bitflags for compatibility.
JSON-RPC calls get_message_ids() and get_message_list_items()
accept booleans instead of bitflags now.
This adds functionality to send and receive a backup over the network
using a QR code.
The sender or provider prepares the backup, sets up a server that
waits for clients. It provides a ticket in the form of a QR code
which contains connection and authentication information.
The receiver uses the QR code to connect to the provider and fetches
backup, restoring it locally.
this is a followup to #3918
I went with option "C" from my comment:
https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/pull/3918#issuecomment-1371224339
- Archive link is (still) very different from a normal chat, so most of the options would be empty / not relevant
- avatar path is not needed as desktop renders it differently anyway,
it's not really a chat like saved messages or device messages where it made more sense
for the core to supply the icon, vs. using the svg directly.
- translating the string in the coreas stock-string is more annoying than doing it from the ui, especially when
this special pseudo chat has different rendering anyway so also no need to provide a name property
* Add DC_EVENT_INCOMING_MSG event
* Fix lots of compile errors
* Docs
* Changelog
* Fix python tests
Adding DC_EVENT_INCOMING_MSG_BUNCH made the python tests fail because they use `get_matching("DC_EVENT_INCOMING_MSG")`, which also matches DC_EVENT_INCOMING_MSG_BUNCH, so the tests got confused.
This fixes `get_matching()` to only match whole event names.
* Also fix test_ac_setup_message_twice()
The built regex was ^EVENT_NAME1|EVENT_NAME2$, which becomes parsed as
"^EVENT_NAME1" OR "EVENT_NAME2$". Introduce a group (parentheses) to fix
this.
* desktop will use DC_EVENT_INCOMING_MSG_BUNCH,
so I would not call it experimental anymore
* add generated node constants
* msg_ids in the event as Vec<u32>
number[] in js land
this is way more convinient than a json encoded string.
* Apply suggestions from code review
