pytest-timeout already handles all deadlocks and is configurable with
--timeout option. With this change it is possible to disable timeout
with --timeout 0 to run tests on extremely slow connections.
To create encrypted account with account manager, call
dc_accounts_add_closed_account(). Open this account with
dc_context_open() using the passphrase you want to use for encryption.
When application is loaded next time and account manager is created,
it will open all accounts that have no passphrase set. For encrypted
accounts dc_context_is_open() will return 0. To open them, call
dc_context_open() with the correct passphrase. After opening, call
dc_context_start_io() on this account or just dc_accounts_start_io()
to start all accounts that are not started yet.
Support for legacy SQLite-based backup format is removed in this
commit.
It was there since the C core, labeled with "/* last_seen is for
future use */" but never actually used. The comment was lost during
the translation from C to Rust.
`cutil.from_dc_charpointer()` is guaranteed to return `str`, while
`cutil.from_optional_dc_charpointer()` may return `None` if C function
returns `NULL`.
`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

It turns out that it's pretty easy to distinguish between lots of states (currently Error/NotConnected, Connecting…, Getting new messages… and Connected). What's not that easy is distinguishing between an actual error and no network, because if the server just doesn't respond, it could mean that we don't have network or that we are trying ipv6, but only ipv4 works.
**WRT debouncing:**
Sending of EVENT_CONNECTIVITY_CHANGED is not debounced, but emitted every time one of the 3 threads (Inbox, Mvbox and Sentbox) has a network error, starts fetching data, or is done fetching data.
This means that it is emitted:
- 9 times when dc_maybe_network() is called or we get network connection
- 12 times when we lose network connection
Some measurements: dc_get_connectivity() takes a little more than 1ms (in my measurements back in March), dc_get_connectivity_html() takes 10-20ms. This means that it's no immmediate problem to call them very often, might increase battery drain though. For the UI it may be a lot of work to update the title everytime; at least Android is smart enough to update the title only once.
Possible problems (we don't have to worry about them now I think):
- Due to the scan_folders feature, if the user has lots of folders, the state could be "Connecting..." for quite a long time, generally DC seemed a little unresponsive to me because it took so long for "Connecting..." to go away. Telegram has a state "Updating..." that sometimes comes after "Connecting...".
To be done in other PRs:
- Better handle the case that the password was changed on the server and authenticating fails, see https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/issues/1923 and https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/issues/1768
- maybe event debouncing (except for "Connected" connectivity events)

New `dc_msg_is_bot()` C API and corresponding `Message.is_bot()`
Python API can be used to check if incoming message is sent by a bot,
e.g. to avoid two echo bots replying indefinitely to each other.
"Bot" flag is not set for outgoing messages, but may be set for
BCC-self messages. For now documentation says that `dc_msg_is_bot()`
return value is unspecified for outgoing messages. It can be better
specified later if needed for specific applications, e.g. sharing an
account with a helper bot.
* Add failing test for #2369
* Completely ignore Drafts folder
fix#2369
* Also ignore messages that have the Draft flag set but are not in the Drafts folder
This PR originally contained a fix for sqlx which turned out not not to be necessary. But on the way, I made some general improvements:
- Under some circumstances, a "normal" test failure led to a timeout, without printing a decent error message. See e.g. https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/github/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/8069/workflows/ba2a9949-b4ad-4ceb-a930-073bba05e2db/jobs/30965.
(The problem was: if there is an exception in dc_account_extra_configure(), when trying to handle the exception the line account.log("===================", e, "===================") was called, which can't work as log() only expects one parameter)
- When a test fails: Call `dump_account_info()` even if there is no direct_imap
- In test_import_export_online_all(), add another 100KB file to the backup. This adds resilience against future size changes of the sql db file: The test tests the smoothness of the progress bar. And if there are there are not enough about-equally-sized files, the progress bar can't be smooth.
