Part of #6884.
The channel owner will not be notified in any way that you left, they
will only see that there is one member less.
For the translated stock strings, this is what we agreed on in the
group:
- Add a new "Leave Channel" stock string (will need to be done in UIs)
- Reword the existing "Are you sure you want to leave this group?"
string to "Are you sure you want to leave?" (the options are "Cancel"
and "Leave Group" / "Leave Channel", so it's clear what you are leaving)
(will need to be done in the deltachat-android repo, other UIs will pick
it up automatically)
- Reword the existing "You left the group." string to "You left". (done
here, I will adapt the strings in deltachat-android, too)
I adapted DC Android by pushing

We don't want images having unsupported format or corrupted ones to be sent as `Image` and appear in
the "Images" tab in UIs because they can't be displayed correctly.
If a user attaches an image as `File`, we should send the original filename. And vice versa, if it's
`Image` originally, we mustn't reveal the filename.
The filename used for sending is now also saved to the db, so all the sender's devices will display
the same filename in the message info.
Otherwise unsupported and corrupted images are displayed in the "Images" tab in UIs and that looks
as a Delta Chat bug. This should be a rare case though, so log it as error and let the user know
that metadata isn't removed from the image at least.

- [x] Add new chat type `InBroadcastChannel` and `OutBroadcastChannel`
for incoming / outgoing channels, where the former is similar to a
`Mailinglist` and the latter is similar to a `Broadcast` (which is
removed)
- Consideration for naming: `InChannel`/`OutChannel` (without
"broadcast") would be shorter, but less greppable because we already
have a lot of occurences of `channel` in the code. Consistently calling
them `BcChannel`/`bc_channel` in the code would be both short and
greppable, but a bit arcane when reading it at first. Opinions are
welcome; if I hear none, I'll keep with `BroadcastChannel`.
- [x] api: Add create_broadcast_channel(), deprecate
create_broadcast_list() (or `create_channel()` / `create_bc_channel()`
if we decide to switch)
- Adjust code comments to match the new behavior.
- [x] Ask Desktop developers what they use `is_broadcast` field for, and
whether it should be true for both outgoing & incoming channels (or look
it up myself)
- I added `is_out_broadcast_channel`, and deprecated `is_broadcast`, for
now
- [x] When the user changes the broadcast channel name, immediately show
this change on receiving devices
- [x] Allow to change brodacast channel avatar, and immediately apply it
on the receiving device
- [x] Make it possible to block InBroadcastChannel
- [x] Make it possible to set the avatar of an OutgoingChannel, and
apply it on the receiving side
- [x] DECIDE whether we still want to use the broadcast icon as the
default icon or whether we want to use the letter-in-a-circle
- We decided to use the letter-in-a-circle for now, because it's easier
to implement, and I need to stay in the time plan
- [x] chat.rs: Return an error if the user tries to modify a
`InBroadcastChannel`
- [x] Add automated regression tests
- [x] Grep for `broadcast` and see whether there is any other work I
need to do
- [x] Bug: Don't show `~` in front of the sender's same in broadcast
lists
----
Note that I removed the following guard:
```rust
if !new_chat_contacts.contains(&ContactId::SELF) {
warn!(
context,
"Received group avatar update for group chat {} we are not a member of.", chat.id
);
} else if !new_chat_contacts.contains(&from_id) {
warn!(
context,
"Contact {from_id} attempts to modify group chat {} avatar without being a member.",
chat.id,
);
} else [...]
```
i.e. with this change, non-members will be able to modify the avatar.
Things were slightly easier this way, and I think that this is in line
with non-members being able to modify the group name and memberlist
(they need to know the Group-Chat-Id, anyway), but I can also change it
back.
This change introduces a new type of contacts
identified by their public key fingerprint
rather than an e-mail address.
Encrypted chats now stay encrypted
and unencrypted chats stay unencrypted.
For example, 1:1 chats with key-contacts
are encrypted and 1:1 chats with address-contacts
are unencrypted.
Groups that have a group ID are encrypted
and can only contain key-contacts
while groups that don't have a group ID ("adhoc groups")
are unencrypted and can only contain address-contacts.
JSON-RPC API `reset_contact_encryption` is removed.
Python API `Contact.reset_encryption` is removed.
"Group tracking plugin" in legacy Python API was removed because it
relied on parsing email addresses from system messages with regexps.

closes#6873 , see there for reasoning.
tested that on iOS already, works like a charm - and was much easier
than expected as @iequidoo already updated `timestamp_rcvd` on status
updates in https://github.com/chatmail/core/pull/5388
~~a test is missing, ordering is not tested at all, will check if that
is doable reasonably easy~~ EDIT: added a test
Fix https://github.com/chatmail/core/issues/6621; I also tested on
Android that the webxdc self-addr actually stays the same when staging a
draft and then sending.
Follow-up to https://github.com/chatmail/core/pull/6704; #6704 made sure
that the webxdc self-addr doesn't change when creating a message and
then sending it. This PR here makes sure that the rfc724_mid (which is
needed to compute the self-addr) is saved when setting a draft, so that
it's loaded properly after a call to get_draft().
cc @adbenitez @r10s @Septias
Set `rfc724_mid` in `Message::new()`, `Message::new_text()`, and
`Message::default()` instead of when sending the message. This way the
rfc724 mid can be read in the draft stage which makes it more consistent
for bots. Tests had to be adjusted to create multiple messages to get
unique mid, otherwise core would not send the messages out.
Revert the biggest part of https://github.com/chatmail/core/pull/6722/
in order to fix#6816. Reopens
https://github.com/chatmail/core/issues/6706.
Rationale for reverting instead of fixing is that it's not trivial to
implement "if the chat is encrypted, can_send() returns true": When
sending a message, in order to check whether to encrypt, we load all
peerstates and check whether all of them can be encrypted to
(`should_encrypt()`). We could do this in `can_send()`, but this would
make it quite slow for groups. With multi-transport, the ways of
checking whether to encrypt will be different, so in order not to do
unnecessary work now, this PR just revert parts of
[https://github.com/chatmail/core/pull/6722/](https://github.com/chatmail/core/pull/6817#),
so that we can make things work nicely when multi-transport is merged.
As a quick mitigation, we could increase the timeout from 15s to
something like 1 minute or 1 day: Long enough that usually securejoin
will finish before, but short enough that it's possible to send to old
chats that had a failed securejoin long in the past.
This change simplifies
updating the gossip timestamps
when we receive a message
because we only need to know
the keys received in Autocrypt-Gossip
header and which chat the message is
assigned to.
We no longer need to iterate
over the member list.
This is a preparation
for PGP contacts
and member lists that contain
key fingerprints rather than
email addresses.
This change also removes encryption preference
from Autocrypt-Gossip header.
It SHOULD NOT be gossiped
according to the Autocrypt specification
and we ignore encryption preference anyway
since 1.157.0.
test_gossip_optimization is removed
because it relied on a per-chat gossip_timestamp.
Otherwise if an invite link is generated and the group is renamed then before the promotion, the
joined member will have the group name from the invite link, not the new one.
instead of showing addresses in info message, provide an API to get the
contact-id.
UI can then make the info message tappable and open the contact profile
in scope
the corresponding iOS PR - incl. **screencast** - is at
https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-ios/pull/2652 ; jsonrpc can come
in a subsequent PR when things are settled on android/ios
the number of parameters in `add_info_msg_with_cmd` gets bigger and
bigger, however, i did not want to refactor this in this PR. it is also
not really adding complexity

this PR deletes all known messages belonging to a chat when the chat is
deleted.
this may not be an exhaustive list as a client might not know all
message-ids (eg. when using different times for "delete from device").
in this case, other devices may know more IDs. otherwise, the chatmail
server will eventually clean up at some point. for non-chatmail, this is
up to the user then.
the deletion sql commands were inspired by
[`delete_msgs_ex`](https://github.com/chatmail/core/blob/main/src/message.rs#L1743)
(in fact, [a first
try](https://github.com/chatmail/core/compare/r10s/clear-chat-on-delete)
was adapting that part, however, that seems less performant as lots of
sql commands are needed)
successor of #5007
Currently broadcast lists creation is synced across devices. Groups creation, in some means, too --
on a group promotion by a first message. Otoh, messages deletion is synced now as well. So, for
feature-completeness, sync chats deletion too.
Add "Chat-Group-Name-Timestamp" message header and use the last-write-wins logic when updating group
names (similar to group member timestamps). Note that if the "Chat-Group-Name-Changed" header is
absent though, we don't add a system message (`MsgGrpNameChangedBy`) because we don't want to blame
anyone.
When there is a broken group (which might happen with multi-transport),
people want to leave it.
The problem is that every "Group left" message notifies all other
members and pops up the chat, so that other members also want to leave
the group.
This PR makes it so that "Group left" messages don't create a
notification, don't cause a number-in-a-cirle badge counter on the chat,
and don't sort up the chat in the chatlist.
If a group is deleted, then the group won't pop up when someone leaves
it; this worked fine already before this PR, and there also is a test
for it.
Instead of being trashed, the message containing a reaction remains in the chat, hidden and InFresh. When the chat is opened, it will be marked as Seen on the server, so that a second device removes the notifications for the reaction.
Close https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/issues/6210.
Also, this adds a benchmark.
Now that we are deduplicating everywhere, we can get rid of some code.
The old python bindings did not get an optional `name` parameter because
they are deprecated anyway, but it would be easy to add it.
> _greetings from the ice of the deutsche bahn 🚂🚃🚃🚃 always a pleasure to
see how well delta chat meanwhile performs in bad networks :)_
this PR adds an API to request other chat members to replace the message
text of an already sent message. scope is mainly to fix typos. this
feature is known from whatsapp, telegram, signal, and is
[requested](https://support.delta.chat/t/retract-edit-sent-messages/1918)
[since](https://support.delta.chat/t/edit-messages-in-delta-chat/899)
[years](https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-android/issues/198).
technically, a message with an
[`Obsoletes:`](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2076#section-3.6)
header is sent out.
```
From: alice@nine
To: bob@nine
Message-ID: 2000@nine
In-Reply-To: 1000@nine
Obsoletes: 1000@nine
Edited: this is the new text
```
the body is the new text, prefixed by the static text `Edited:` (which
is not a header). the latter is to make the message appear more nicely
in Non-Delta-MUA. save for the `In-Reply-To` header. the `Edited:`
prefix is removed by Delta Chat on receiving.
headers should be protected and moved to e2ee part as usual.
corrected message text is flagged, and UI should show this state, in
practise as "Edited" beside the date.
in case, the original message is not found, nothing happens and the
correction message is trashes (assuming the original was deleted).
question: is the `Obsoletes:` header a good choice? i _thought_ there is
some more specifica RFC, but i cannot find sth. in any case, it should
be an header that is not used otherwise by MUA, to make sure no wanted
messages disappear.
what is NOT done and out of scope:
- optimise if messages are not yet sent out. this is doable, but
introduces quite some cornercaes and may not be worth the effort
- replaces images or other attachments. this is also a bit cornercasy
and beyond "typo fixing", and better be handled by "delete for me and
others" (which may come soon, having the idea now, it seems easy :)
- get edit history in any way. not sure if this is worth the effort,
remember, as being a private messenger, we assume trust among chat
members. it is also questionable wrt privacy, seized devices etc.
- add text where nothing was before; again, scope is "typo fixing",
better avoid cornercases
- saved messages are not edited (this is anyway questionable)
- quoted texts, that are used for the case the original message is
deleted, are not updated
- edits are ignored when the original message is not there yet (out of
order, not yet downloaded)
- message status indicator does not show if edits are sent out or not -
similar to reactions, webxdc updates, sync messages. signal has the same
issue :) still, connectivity should show if there are messages pending

There was a bug that file extensions were removed when recoding an
avatar. The problem was that `recode_avatar` used `name` to check for
the extension, but some functions passed an empty string.
There even were two tests from before the decision to keep the
extensions that tested for the faulty behavior.
These were the last places in the `deltachat` crate where files were
stored without deduplication. The CFFI python bindings are the last
thing that's still missing.
