Why:
- With IMAP APPEND we can upload messages directly to the DeltaChat folder (for non-chatmail
accounts).
- We can set the `\Seen` flag immediately so that if the user has other MUA, it doesn't alert about
a new message if it's just a sync message (there were several such reports on the support
forum). Though this also isn't useful for chatmail.
- We don't need SMTP envelope and overall remove some overhead on processing sync messages.
Groups promotion to other devices and QR code tokens synchronisation are not synchronised processes,
so there are reasons why a QR code token may arrive earlier than the first group message:
- We are going to upload sync messages via IMAP while group messages are sent by SMTP.
- If sync messages go to the mvbox, they can be fetched earlier than group messages from Inbox.
It's possible that when rebasing a PR adding a migration a merge-conflict doesn't occur if another
migration was added in the target branch. Better to have at least runtime checks that the migration
version is correct. Looks like compile-time checks are not possible because Rust doesn't allow to
redefine constants, only vars.
Before, if the user deleted a message too quickly after sending, it was deleted only locally. The
fix is to remember for tombstones that the corresponding message should be deleted on the server
too.
SQLite search with `LIKE` is case-insensitive only for ASCII chars. To make it case-insensitive for
all messages, create a new column `msgs.txt_normalized` defaulting to `NULL` (so we do not bump up
the database size in a migration) and storing lowercased/normalized text there when the row is
created/updated. When doing a search, search over `IFNULL(txt_normalized, txt)`.
PR #5099 removed some columns in the database that were actually in use.
usually, to not worsen UX unnecessarily
(releases take time - in between, "Add Second Device", "Backup" etc.
would fail), we try to avoid such schema changes (checking for
db-version would avoid import etc. but would still worse UX),
see discussion at #2294.
these are the errors, the user will be confronted with otherwise:

it is not great to maintain the old columns, but well :)
as no official releases with newer cores are rolled out yet, i think, it
is fine to change the "107" migration
and not copy things a second time in a newer migration.
(this issue happens to me during testing, and is probably also the issue
reported by @lk108 for ubuntu-touch)
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.
a27e84ad89 "fix: Delete received outgoing messages from SMTP queue"
can break sending messages sent as several SMTP messages because they have a lot of recipients:
`pub(crate) const DEFAULT_MAX_SMTP_RCPT_TO: usize = 50;`
We should not cancel sending if it is such a message and we received BCC-self because it does not
mean the other part was sent successfully. For this, split such messages into separate jobs in the
`smtp` table so that only a job containing BCC-self is canceled from `receive_imf_inner()`. Although
this doesn't solve the initial problem with timed-out SMTP requests for such messages completely,
this enables fine-grained SMTP retries so we don't need to resend all SMTP messages if only some of
them failed to be sent.
When a key is gossiped for the contact in a verified chat,
it is stored in the secondary verified key slot.
The messages are then encrypted to the secondary verified key
if they are also encrypted to the contact introducing this secondary key.
Chat-Group-Member-Added no longer updates the verified key.
Verified group recovery only relies on the secondary verified key.
When a message is received from a contact
signed with a secondary verified key,
secondary verified key replaces the primary verified key.
When verified key is changed for the contact
in response to receiving a message
signed with a secondary verified key,
"Setup changed" message is added
to the same chat where the message is received.
Moved custom ToSql trait including Send + Sync from lib.rs to sql.rs.
Replaced most params! and paramsv! macro usage with tuples.
Replaced paramsv! and params_iterv! with params_slice!,
because there is no need to construct a vector.
We are currently using libsqlite3-sys 0.25.2,
corresponding to SQLcipher 4.5.2
and SQLite 3.39.2.
SQLite supports ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN since version 3.35.0,
and it has received critical database corruption bugfixes in 3.35.5.
There have been no fixes to it between SQLite 3.36.0 and 3.41.0,
so it appears stable now.
In execute_migration transaction first update the version, and only
then execute the rest of the migration. This ensures that transaction
is immediately recognized as write transaction and there is no need
to promote it from read transaction to write transaction later, e.g.
in the case of "DROP TABLE IF EXISTS" that is a read only operation if
the table does not exist. Promoting a read transaction to write
transaction may result in an error if database is locked.
* do not `SELECT *` on old tables to fill new ones
the old table may contain deprecrated columns for whatever reason;
as a result the query fails as the statement tries to insert eg.
16 columns into 12 colums
(concrete error for acpeerstate that have several deprecated columns)
* update CHANGELOG
This esp. speeds up receive_imf a bit when we recreate the member list (recreate_member_list == true).
It's a preparation for https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/issues/3768, which will be a one-line-fix, but recreate the member list more often, so that we want to optimize this case a bit.
It also adds a benchmark for this case. It's not that easy to make the benchmark non-flaky, but by closing all other programs and locking the CPU to 1.5GHz it worked. It is consistently a few percent faster than ./without-optim:
```
Receive messages/Receive 100 Chat-Group-Member-{Added|Removed} messages
time: [52.257 ms 52.569 ms 52.941 ms]
change: [-3.5301% -2.6181% -1.6697%] (p = 0.00 < 0.05)
Performance has improved.
Found 7 outliers among 100 measurements (7.00%)

Fix#3507
Note that this is not intended for a release at this point! We first have to test whether it runs stable enough. If we want to make a release while we are not confident enough in authres-checking, then we have to disable it.
BTW, most of the 3000 new lines are in `test_data/messages/dkimchecks...`, not the actual code
da3a4b94 adds the results to the Message info. It currently does this by adding them to `hop_info`. Maybe we should rename `hop_info` to `extra_info` or something; this has the disadvantage that we can't rename the sql column name though.
Follow-ups for this could be:
- In `update_authservid_candidates()`: Implement the rest of the algorithm @hpk42 and me thought about. What's missing is remembering how sure we are that these are the right authserv-ids. Esp., when receiving a message sent from another account at the same domain, we can be quite sure that the authserv-ids in there are the ones of our email server. This will make authres-checking work with buzon.uy, disroot.org, yandex.ru, mailo.com, and riseup.net.
- Think about how we present this to the user - e.g. currently the only change is that we don't accept key changes, which will mean that the small lock on the message is not shown.
- And it will mean that we can fully enable AEAP, after revisiting the security implications of this, and assuming everyone (esp. @link2xt who pointed out the problems in the first place) feels comfortable with it.
