this PR adds a function that can be used to create any QR code, in a raw
form.
this can be used to create add-contact as well as add-second-device QR
codes (eg. `dc_create_qr_svg(dc_get_securejoin_qr())`) - as well as for
other QR codes as proxies.
the disadvantage of the rich-formatted QR codes as created by
`dc_get_securejoin_qr_svg()` and `dc_backup_provider_get_qr_svg()` were:
- they do not look good and cannot interact with UI layout wise (but
also tapping eg. an address is not easily possible)
- esp. text really looks bad. even with
[some](e5dc8fe3d8)
[hacks](https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-android/pull/2215) it
[stays buggy](https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-ios/issues/2200);
the bugs mainly come from different SVG implementation, all need their
own quirks
- accessibility is probably bad as well
we thought that time, SVG is a great thing for QR codes, but apart from
basic geometrics, it is not.
so, we avoid text, this also means to avoid putting an avatar in the
middle of the QR code (we can put some generic symbol there, eg.
different ones for add-contact and add-second-device).
while this looks like a degradation, also other messengers use more raw
QR codes. also, we removed many data from the QR code anyway, eg. the
email address is no longer there. that time, sharing QR images was more
a thing, meanwhile we have invite links, that are much better for that
purpose.
in theory, we could also leave the SVG path completely and go for PNG -
which we did not that time as PNG and text looks bad, as the system font
is not easily usable :) but going for PNG would add further challenges
as passing binary data around, and also UI-implemtation-wise, that would
be a larger step. so, let's stay with SVG in a form we know is
compatible.
the old QR code functions are deprecated.
rust-analyzer was showing warnings here because it is always also
building in the Test configuration, and EventType has a
```rust
#[cfg(test)]
Test,
```
variant, which was not matched.
This change introduces new config options
`proxy_enabled` and `proxy_url`
that replace `socks5_*`.
Tested with deltachat-repl
by starting it with
`cargo run --locked -p deltachat-repl -- deltachat-db` and running
```
> set proxy_enabled 1
> set proxy_url ss://...
> setqr dcaccount:https://chatmail.example.org/new
> configure
```
New protocol streams .tar into iroh-net
stream without traversing all the files first.
Reception over old backup protocol
is still supported to allow
transferring backups from old devices
to new ones, but not vice versa.
... and fails if file already exists. The UI should open the file saving dialog, defaulting to
Downloads and original filename, when asked to save the file. After confirmation it should call
dc_msg_save_file().
This makes `EventTracker` receive events immediately
instead of being moved from event emitter to event tracker
by a task spawned from `TestContext::new_internal`.
This makes `EventTracker.clear_events` reliable
as it is guaranteed to remove all events emitted
by the time it is called rather than only events
that have been moved already.
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

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

As trashed messages can't be loaded from the db now by `Message::load_from_db()` returning an error
for such messages, errors from `Message::load_from_db()` should be logged as warnings. If it's
really an error like a db failure, it should be logged internally.
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.
@adbenitez wants this feature on Deltalab to display a bot tag.
Other UIs might also want to adopt this feature :)

Add an event for a case if a multi-device synced config value changed. Maybe the app needs to
refresh smth on such an event. For uniformity it is emitted on the source device too. The value is
omitted, otherwise it would be logged which might not be good for privacy.
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 :)
