This ensures the server does not get SIGINT
when the bot is running in a terminal and user presses ^C
We want to send SIGTERM ourselves after clean shutdown,
e.g. stopping I/O for all accounts.
For example, reader_loop() may die
if readline() tries to read too large line
and thows an exception.
We want to at least log the exception in this case.
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()
Latest versions 0.0.248 and 0.0.249 report false positive:
src/deltachat_rpc_client/client.py:105:9: RET503 [*] Missing explicit `return` at the end of function able to return
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.
