this PR adds the type DC_QR_SOCKS5_PROXY to `dc_check_qr()` for
**supporting telegram proxy QR codes**. if returned, the UI should ask
the user if they want to us the proxy and call
`dc_set_config_from_qr();` afterwards (plus maybe `dc_configure()`).
idea is to improve our proxy story, follow ups may be:
- in UI, - move proxy out of "Account & Password", as a **separate
"Proxy Activity"** (it should stay in "Advanced" for now, however, below
"Server", which might be moved up)
- allow **opening the "Proxy Activity" from the welcome screens**
three-dot-menu (that would also solve a long standing issue that
entering the email address bypasses the proxy
- show proxy usage in the "Connectivity View" and/or add an **icon** to
the main chatlist screen (beside three-dot menu) in case some proxy is
in use; tapping this icon will open the "Proxy Activity"
- the the new "Proxy Activity", add a **share / show proxy QR code**
button. that would generate invite links in the form
`https://i.delta.chat/socks#...` - so that tapping then opens the app.
support for these links need to be added to core then.
- handle a list of proxies in core, offer selection in UI. the list
could be one for all profiles and could be filled eg. by normal invite
links or other channels

while adapting strings for the recent change about read receipts,
https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/pull/5712 , it turns
out in discussions eg. at
https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-android/issues/3179 that
untranslated english for the read receipts seem to be sufficient or even
better:
- do not reveal the sender's language
- unexpected languages are confusing - even if you chat in english, you
may get Chinese read receipts
- many clients do not show the text anyways, iirc, eg. Outlook display
the read receipts in context, and Delta Chat of course as well
- afaik, we're leaving comparable `multipart/report` untranslated as
well (sync, but also webxdc updates are practically english only)
- less code, fewer translations needed :)
we're always checking the configuration encrypted.
saying it is 'preferred' encrypted is misleading,
therfore, just remove it.
i do not think, it is worth saying that we do not query 'http',
this is clear from the source code.
moreover, fix two typos.
this PR checks if the quotes are used in a reasonable way:
- quoted messages should be send to the same chat
- or to one-to-one chats
if the quote's chat ID is not the same than the sending chat _and_ the
sending chat is not a one-to-one chat, sending is aborted.
usually, the UIs does not allow quoting in other ways, so, this check is
only a "last defence line" to avoid leaking data in case the UI has
bugs, as recently in
https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-android/issues/3032
@iequidoo @link2xt @adbenitez i am not 100% sure about this PR, maybe
i've overseen a reasonable usecase where other quotes make sense

as discussed in several chats, this PR starts making it possible to use
Webxdc as integrations to the main app. In other word: selected parts of
the main app can be integrated as Webxdc, eg. Maps [^1]
this PR contains two parts:
- draft an Webxdc Integration API
- use the Webxdc Integration API to create a Maps Integration
to be clear: a Webxdc is not part of this PR. the PR is about marking a
Webxdc being used as a Map - and core then feeds the Webxdc with
location data. from the view of the Webxdc, the normal
`sendUpdate()`/`setUpdateListener()` is used.
things are still marked as "experimental", idea is to get that in to
allow @adbenitez and @nicodh to move forward on the integrations into
android and desktop, as well as improving the maps.xdc itself.
good news is that we currently can change the protocol between Webxdc
and core at any point :)
# Webxdc Integration API
see `dc_init_webxdc_integration()` in `deltachat.h` for overview and
documentation.
rust code is mostly in `webxdc/integration.rs` that is called by other
places as needed. current [user of the API is
deltachat-ios](https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-ios/pull/1912),
android/desktop will probably follow.
the jsonrpc part is missing and can come in another PR when things are
settled and desktop is really starting [^2] (so we won't need to do all
iterations twice :) makes also sense, when this is done by someone
actually trying that out on desktop
while the API is prepared to allow other types of integrations (photo
editor, compose tools ...) internally, we currently ignore the type. if
that gets more crazy, we probably also need a dedicated table for the
integrations and not just a single param.
# Maps Integration
rust code is mostly in `webxdc/maps_integration.rs` that is called by
`webxdc/integration.rs` as needed.
EDIT: the idea of having a split here, is that
`webxdc/maps_integration.rs` really can focus on the json part, on the
communication with the .xdc, including tests
this PR is basic implementation, enabling to move forward on
integrations on iOS, but also on desktop and android.
the current implementation allows already the following:
- global and per-chat maps
- add and display POIs
- show positions and tracks of the last 24 hours
the current maps.xdc uses leaflet, and is in some regards better than
the current android/desktop implementations (much faster, show age of
positions, fade out positions, always show names of POIs, clearer UI).
however, we are also not bound to leaflet, it can be anything
> [**screenshots of the current
state**](https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-ios/pull/1912)
> 👆
to move forward faster and to keep this PR small, the following will go
to a subsequent PR:
- consider allowing webxdc to use a different timewindow for the
location
- delete POIs
- jsonrpc
[^1]: maps are a good example as anyways barely native (see android
app), did cause a lot of pain on many levels in the past (technically,
bureaucratically), and have a comparable simple api
[^2]: only going for jsonrpc would only make sense if large parts of
android/ios would use jsonrpc, we're not there

we checked for tombstones already using `is_trash()`,
however, we've overseen that tombstones get deleted at some point :)
therefore, just do not treat loading failures of the weak msg_id as errors -
usually, they are not - and if, just the normal summary is shown.
in theory, we could check for existance explicitly before tryong load_from_db,
however, that would be additional code (and maybe another database call)
and not worth the effort.
anyways, this commit also adds an explicit test
for physical deletion after housekeeping.
use get_summary_text_without_prefix() to get raw summaries without prefixes,
this is needed for reaction summaries,
where we also do not show the name, so we do not want to show "Forwarded" as well.
shows the last reaction in chatlist's summaries if there is no
newer message.
the reason to show reactions in the summary, is to make them a _little_
more visible when one is not in the chat. esp. in not-so-chatty or in
one-to-ones chats this becomes handy: imaging a question and someone
"answers" with "thumbs up" ...
otoh, reactions are still tuned down on purpose: no notifications, chats
are opend as usual, the chatlist is not sorted by reactions and also the
date in the summary refer to the last message - i thought quite a bit
about that, this seems to be good compromise and will raise the fewest
questions. it is somehow clear to the users that reactions are not the
same as a real message. also, it is comparable easy to implement - no
UI changes required :)
all that is very close to what whatsapp is doing (figured that out by
quite some testing ... to cite @adbenitez: if in doubt, we can blame
whatsapp :)
technically, i first wanted to go for the "big solution" and add two
more columns, chat_id and timestamp, however, it seemed a bit bloated if
we really only need the last one. therefore, i just added the last
reaction information to the chat's param, which seems more performant
but also easier to code :)
`is_probably_private_reply()` checks
if a message should better go to the one to one chat
instead of the chat already identified by the `In-Reply-To`.
this functionality is needed to make "Reply Privately" work.
however, this functionality is never true for reactions.
if we would return `true` here, own reactions seen by a second device
would not get the correct chat assiged.
- the `jobs` table is no longer in use,
no need to track files on housekeeping,
no need to clear it from repl tool
- some `Params` were used for jobs table only,
they can be used freely for other purposes on other tables.
param 'protection settings timestamp' was never used in practise,
its code is removed as well, so we can free the Param as well.
it was used by iOS to know when a background fetch was complete;
meanwhile the superiour `dc_accounts_background_fetch()` is used for
that.
there is still the corresponding context function `dc_all_work_done()`,
this not used by any UI as well, however, it is in use by a python
tests.
not sure, what to do with it, at a first glance, the test still seems
useful.
the rendered time output seems different on different systems and timezomes,
eg. on my local machine, it is
`Sent: 2024.03.20 10:00:01 ` and not `Sent: 2024.03.20 09:00:01`,
maybe because of winter/summer time, idk.
as the gist of the test is to check the name,
however, i just removed the whole time check.
as turned out on recent researches wrt a slow database, setting
`save_mime_headers` will result in 25x larger databases.
this is definetely something we want to know at least in the debug info.
(the option cannot be enabled in current UIs,
however, esp. devs find options to set this.
apart from that, save_mime_headers is only used in some python tests)
ftr: the huge database was more than 10 times slower, leading to missing
notifications on ios (as things do not finish within the few seconds iOS
gave us).
moreover, the hugeness also avoids exporting; this is fixed by
https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/pull/5349
this PR fixes one of the issues we had with an (honestly accidentally)
huge database of >2gb.
this database could not be exported on iOS, as ram memory is limited
there, leading to the app just crashing.
it is unclear if that would be better on eg. Android, however,
temp_store=FILE is not working as well there, this is the smaller
drawback there.
before merging, this PR should be tested on time with export/import on
iOS (export/import uses VACUUM which uses /tmp) EDIT: did so, works on
iphone7 with ios15
after merging:
6. Tag the release: `git tag -a v1.135.0`.
7. Push the release tag: `git push origin v1.135.0`.
8. Create a GitHub release: `gh release create v1.135.0 -n ''`.

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:
<img width=400
src=https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/assets/9800740/e3f0fd6e-a7a9-43f6-9023-0ae003985425>
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)
this pr keeps and refines documentation added in #4951, however, reverts
the api introduced by #4951
which turns out to be not useful for UI in practise:
UI anyway check for chat/no-chat beforehand,
so a simple condition in profiles as
`green_checkmark = chat_exist ? chat_is_protected() :
contact_is_verified()`
is more useful in practise and is waht UI need and did already in the
past. (https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-android/pull/2836 shows a
detailed discussion)
(as a side effect, beside saving code,
this PR saves up to three database calls
(get contact from chat in UI to pass it to profile_is_verified(), get
chat from contact in core, load is_protected in core) - instead, core
can use already is_protected from already loaded chat object)
/me did check rust-tests, fingers crossed for python tests
/me should re-setup python tests on local machine at some point :)
Before, it was shown by UI when the chat is empty, however, in case of
verified groups, this is never the case any longer as the 'e2ee now
guaranteed' is always added.
it may happen that percentages larger than 100% are reported by the provider,
eg. for some time a storage usage of 120% may be accepted.
while we should report the values "as is" to the user,
for the bar, percentages larger 100% will destroy the layout.
that way, UI can just close the transfer dialog,
so that, at the end, both devices end in the chatlist.
we can also use this for troubleshooting -
if the device message is not present,
transfer did not succeed completely.
(a separate device message may be nice in that case -
but that is another effort,
same for making the device message reappear after deletion
or after some time)
some providers say that they support QUOTA in the IMAP CAPABILITY,
but return an empty list without any quota information then.
in our "Connectivity", this looks a bit of an error.
i have not seen this error often - only for testrun.org -
if it is usual, we could also just say "not supported"
(as we do in case QUOTA is not returned).
a translations seems not to be needed for now,
it seems unusual, and all other errors are not translated as well.
`<meta name="color-scheme" content="light dark" />` is a hint to the browsers
that the page can be rendered in light as well as in dark mode
and that the browser can apply corresponding defaults.
as we do not add css colors on our own,
this is sufficient for letting generated html messasge being rendered
in dark mode.
cmp. https://drafts.csswg.org/css-color-adjust/#color-scheme-propcloses#4146
standard footers meanwhile go the "contact status",
so they are no longer a reason to trigger "full message view".
this was already discussed when the HTML view was introduced at #2125
however, forgotten to change when the "contact status" was added at #2218
this pr will result in a cleaner chat view
with less "Show Full Message..." buttons
and will also save some storage
(in fact, i came over that when reviewing #4129 )
the contrast was decreased at
https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/pull/4136 ,
there were also suggestions to fix it there,
but it was probably just forgotten :)
this pr increases the contrast
between code background and code font again to the level it was before
and also to what similar themes are doing.
the slowest test was `test_modify_chat_disordered`;
due to several sleep(), it lasts at least 11 seconds.
however, many of the sleep() are not needed and were added
just to get things done that time.
this pr removes 7 superfluous sleeps,
making the test finish in about 3 seconds,
so that this test is no longer the bottleneck when running
`cargo test` on fast machines.
(this is not only useful to safe some seconds -
but also to notice degradations as of
https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/issues/4051#issuecomment-1436995166 )
the speedup of #4065 is larger than measured first
running `cargo test`, first we thought there is only a slight speedup
from 13.5 seconds to 12.5 seconds on a m1pro.
however, there is one test that does 11 seconds of sleep() (test_modify_chat_disordered)
as this test is not run very first, this slows down things overall.
skipping this test,
speedup is from 13.5 seconds to 9.5 seconds -
28% faster - and this is something we should mention in the changelog :)
(this pr does not remove or change the slow test.
i think, due to the number of cores, this is not needed until someone
has a machine where the other tests run in 2 seconds or so)
* let marknoticed_chat() work for DC_CHAT_ID_ARCHIVED_LINK
* fix test_util::get_last_msg() - the first position may be the archive-link if 'adding specials' is allowed
* add a test for the archived-link message counter
* update CHANGELOG
* move 'archived link' betweeen pinned and normal cahts or above normal chats
* add icon for 'archived chats' link
* let get_fresh_msg_cnt() work for DC_CHAT_ID_ARCHIVED_LINK
* move 'archived link' topmost
* use less noticeable archived-icon
* slightly smaller archived icon
* update CHANGELOG
* 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
* allow deleting referenced contacts in UI
we are quite often getting requests of users
who want to get rid of some contact in the "new chat" list.
there is already a "delete" option,
but it does not work for referenced contacts -
however, it is not obvious for users that a contact is in use,
esp. of some mailing list or larger chat, old contacts, whatever.
this pr revives an old idea [^1] of "soft deleting" referenced contacts -
this way, the user can remove the annoying entry
without the need to understand complicated things
and finally saying that deletion is impossible :)
once the contact is reused, it will reappear,
however, this is already explained in the confirmation dialog of the UIs.
technically, this pr was simpler as expected as we already have
a Origin::Hidden, that is just reused here.
[^1]: https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core/pull/542
* update rust doccomment
* update changelog
* avoid races on contact deletion
chats may be created between checking for "no chats" and contact deletion.
this is prevented by putting the statement into an EXCLUSIVE transaction.
* fix failing python test
* let search_msgs() return unaccepted requests
unaccepted chat requests are shown in the chatlist,
it should be returned by search_msgs() an by the other search functions as well.
form the view of the user, the search acts like a filter,
so there is no reason to hide things additionally.
also, the user may remember a word in a chat request,
maybe even an archived one (there is no need to accept a request before archiving)
that one wants to search later on.
* test searching for unaccepted requests
* simplyfy expression; `c.blocked!=1` is also what is used in similar statements
* enable `BccSelf` by default
enabling `BccSelf` improves user experience as
it is easier to set up another device
and ppl will also see "all" messages in other user agents directly.
for uncounted user problems, after diving into the issue,
the resulting device was "turn on BccSelf".
disabled `BccSelf` was probably the the number one single reason
of user problems.
main drawback of the change are potentially double notifications
when using a shared account and having another mail app on the same device.
however, we meanwhile do not recommend shared accounts at all,
the issue is also fixable by the other mail apps (as done by K-9)
and could be even regarded as a feature (you can decide which app to use for ansering).
but at the end the drawback is probably much smaller than the issues reported above.
* adapt tests to `BccSelf` enabled
* update CHANGELOG
* add request_internet_access manifest option
* test request_internet_access
* update CHANGELOG
* force warning when internet access is enabled
if internet access is enabled,
show a warning instead of the normal summary
(the internet access is currently mainly to test out integrations
as maps for video chat; the summary is dispensable in the cases currently)
* adapt json-rpc's WebxdcMessageInfo
* get_chat_media() from any chat similar to search_msgs()
* do not return hidden media
this fixes the issue that drafts
and other hidden messages pop up in the gallery.
* add a test for get_chat_media()
* use None instead of ChatId::new(0)
* clarify scope of 'any' in get_chat_media()
* adapt json rpc to changed get_chat_media()
* jsonrpc: chat_get_media turn chat_id into option
and also still allow `0` for dev convenience
(though I'm not totally sure if thats the right decision)
* cargo fmt
