+
+### Features / Changes
+

+
+### Tests
+
+- Delete_server_after="1" should cause immediate message deletion ([#5201](https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/pull/5201)).
+
+## [1.134.0] - 2024-01-31
+
+### API-Changes
+
+- [**breaking**] JSON-RPC: device message api now requires `Option<MessageData>` instead of `String` for the message ([#5211](https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/pull/5211)).
+- CFFI: add `dc_accounts_background_fetch` and event `DC_EVENT_ACCOUNTS_BACKGROUND_FETCH_DONE`.
+- JSON-RPC: add `accounts_background_fetch`.
+
+### Features / Changes
+
+- `Qr::check_qr()`: Accept i.delta.chat invite links ([#5217](https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/pull/5217)).
+- Add support for IMAP METADATA, fetching `/shared/comment` and `/shared/admin` and displaying it in account info.
+
+### Fixes
+
+- Add tolerance for macOS and iOS changing `#` to `%23`.
+- Do not drop unknown report attachments, such as TLS reports.
+- Treat only "Auto-Submitted: auto-generated" messages as bot-sent ([#5213](https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/pull/5213)).
+- `Chat::resend_msgs`: Guarantee strictly increasing time in the `Date` header.
+- Delete resent messages on receiver side ([#5155](https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/pull/5155)).
+- Fix iOS build issue.
+
+### CI
+
+- Add/remove necessary newlines to fix Python lint.
+
+### Tests
+
+- `test_import_export_online_all`: Send the message to the existing address to avoid errors ([#5220](https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/pull/5220)).
+
+## [1.133.2] - 2024-01-24
+
+### Fixes
+
+- Downgrade OpenSSL from 3.2.0 to 3.1.4 ([#5206](https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/issues/5206))
+- No new chats for MDNs with alias ([#5196](https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/issues/5196)) ([#5199](https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/pull/5199)).
+
+## [1.133.1] - 2024-01-21
+
+### API-Changes
+
+- Add `is_bot` to cffi and jsonrpc ([#5197](https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/pull/5197)).
+
+### Features / Changes
+
+- Add system message when provider does not allow unencrypted messages ([#5195](https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/pull/5195)).
+
+### Fixes
+
+- `Chat::send_msg`: Remove encryption-related params from already sent message. This allows to send received encrypted `dc_msg_t` object to unencrypted chat, e.g. in a Python bot.
+- Set message download state to Failure on IMAP errors. This avoids partially downloaded messages getting stuck in "Downloading..." state without actually being in a download queue.
+- BCC-to-self even if server deletion is set to "at once". This is a workaround for SMTP servers which do not return response in time, BCC-self works as a confirmation that message was sent out successfully and does not need more retries.
+- node: Run tests with native ESM modules instead of `esm` ([#5194](https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/pull/5194)).
+- Use Quoted-Printable MIME encoding for the text part ([#3986](https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/pull/3986)).
+
+### Tests
+
+- python: Add `get_protected_chat` to testplugin.py.
+
+## [1.133.0] - 2024-01-14
+
+### Features / Changes
+
+- Securejoin protocol implementation refinements
+  - Track forward and backward verification separately ([#5089](https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/pull/5089)) to avoid inconsistent states.
+  - Mark 1:1 chat as verified for Bob early. 1:1 chat with Alice is verified as soon as Alice's key is verified rather than at the end of the protocol.
+- Put Message-ID into hidden headers and take it from there on receiver ([#4798](https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/pull/4798)). This works around servers which generate their own Message-ID and overwrite the one generated by Delta Chat.
+- deltachat-repl: Enable INFO logging by default and add timestamps.
+- Add `ConfigSynced` (`DC_EVENT_CONFIG_SYNCED`) event which is emitted when configuration is changed via synchronization message or synchronization message for configuration is sent. UI may refresh elments based on the configuration key which is a part of the event.
+- Sync contact creation/rename across devices ([#5163](https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/pull/5163)).
+- Encrypt MDNs ([#5175](https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/pull/5175)).
+- Only try to configure non-strict TLS checks if explicitly set ([#5181](https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/pull/5181)).
+
+### Build system
+
+- Use released version of iroh 0.4.2 for "setup second device" feature.
+
+### CI
+
+- Update to Rust 1.75.0.
+- Downgrade `chai` from 4.4.0 to 4.3.10.
+
+### Documentation
+
+- Add a link <https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-bucksch-autoconfig-00.html> to autoconfig RFC draft.
+- Update securejoin link in `standards.md` from <https://countermitm.readthedocs.io/> to <https://securejoin.readthedocs.io>.
+- Restore "Constants" page in Doxygen >=1.9.8
+
+### Fixes
+
+- imap: Limit the rate of LOGIN attempts rather than connection attempts. This is to avoid having to wait for rate limiter right after switching from a bad or offline network to a working network while still guarding against reconnection loop.
+- Do not ignore `peerstate.save_to_db()` errors.
+- securejoin: Mark 1:1s as protected regardless of the Config::VerifiedOneOnOneChats.
+- Delete received outgoing messages from SMTP queue ([#5115](https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/pull/5115)).
+- imap: Fail fast on `LIST` errors to avoid busy loop when connection is lost.
+- Split SMTP jobs already in `chat::create_send_msg_jobs()` ([#5115](https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/pull/5115)).
+- Do not remove contents from unencrypted [Schleuder](https://schleuder.org/) mailing lists messages.
+- Reset message error when scheduling resending ([#5119](https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/pull/5119)).
+- Emit events more reliably when starting and stopping I/O ([#5101](https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/pull/5101)).
+- Fix timestamp of chat protection info message for correct message ordering after restoring a backup ([#5088](https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/pull/5088)).
+
+### Refactor
+
+- sql: Recreate `config` table with UNIQUE constraint.
+- sql: Recreate `keypairs` table to remove unused `addr` and `created` fields and move `is_default` flag to `config` table.
+- Send `Secure-Join-Fingerprint` only in `*-request-with-auth`.
+
+### Tests
+
+- Test joining non-protected group.
+- Test that read receipts don't degrade encryption.
+- Test that changing default private key breaks backward verification.
+- Test recovery from lost vc-contact-confirm.
+- Use `wait_for_incoming_msg_event()` more.
+
+## [1.132.1] - 2023-12-12
+
+### Features / Changes
+
+- Add "From:" to protected headers for signed-only messages.
+- Sync user actions for ad-hoc groups across devices ([#5065](https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/pull/5065)).
+
+### Fixes
+
+- Add padlock to empty part if the whole message is empty.
+- Renew IDLE timeout on keepalives and reduce it to 5 minutes.
+- connectivity: Return false from `all_work_done()` immediately after connecting (iOS notification fix).
+
+### API-Changes
+
+- deltachat-jsonrpc-client: add `Account.{import,export}_self_keys`.
+
+### CI
+
+- Update to Rust 1.74.1.
+
+## [1.132.0] - 2023-12-06
+
+### Features / Changes
+
+- Increase TCP timeouts from 30 to 60 seconds.
+
+### Fixes
+
+- Don't sort message creating a protected group over a protection message ([#4963](https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/pull/4963)).
+- Do not lock accounts.toml on iOS.
+- Protect groups even if some members are not verified and add `test_securejoin_after_contact_resetup` regression test.
+
+## [1.131.9] - 2023-12-02
+
+### API-Changes
+
+- Remove `dc_get_http_response()`, `dc_http_response_get_mimetype()`, `dc_http_response_get_encoding()`, `dc_http_response_get_blob()`, `dc_http_response_get_size()`, `dc_http_response_unref()` and `dc_http_response_t` from cffi.
+- Deprecate CFFI APIs `dc_send_reaction()`, `dc_get_msg_reactions()`, `dc_reactions_get_contacts()`, `dc_reactions_get_by_contact_id()`, `dc_reactions_unref` and `dc_reactions_t`.
+- Make `Contact.is_verified()` return bool.
+
+### Build system
+
+- Switch from fork of iroh to iroh 0.4.2 pre-release.
+
+### Features / Changes
+
+- Send `Chat-Verified` headers in 1:1 chats.
+- Ratelimit IMAP connections ([#4940](https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/pull/4940)).
+- Remove receiver limit on `.xdc` size.
+- Don't affect MimeMessage with "From" and secured headers from encrypted unsigned messages.
+- Sync `Config::{MdnsEnabled,ShowEmails}` across devices ([#4954](https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/pull/4954)).
+- Sync `Config::Displayname` across devices ([#4893](https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/pull/4893)).
+- `Chat::rename_ex`: Don't send sync message if usual message is sent.
+
+### Fixes
+
+- Lock the database when INSERTing a webxdc update, avoid "Database is locked" errors.
+- Use keyring with all private keys when decrypting a message ([#5046](https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/pull/5046)).
+
+### Tests
+
+- Make Result-returning tests produce a line number.
+- Add `test_utils::sync()`.
+- Test inserting lots of webxdc updates.
+- Split `test_sync_alter_chat()` into smaller tests.
+
+## [1.131.8] - 2023-11-27
+
+### Features / Changes
+
+- webxdc: Add unique IDs to status updates sent outside and deduplicate based on IDs.
+
+### Fixes
+
+- Allow IMAP servers not returning UIDNEXT on SELECT and STATUS such as mail.163.com.
+- Use the correct securejoin strings used in the UI, remove old TODO ([#5047](https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/pull/5047)).
+- Do not emit events about webxdc update events logged into debug log webxdc.
+
+### Tests
+
+- Check that `receive_status_update` has forward compatibility and unique webxdc IDs will be ignored by previous Delta Chat versions.
+
+## [1.131.7] - 2023-11-24
+
+### Fixes
+
+- Revert "fix: check UIDNEXT with a STATUS command before going IDLE". This attempts to fix mail.163.com which has broken STATUS command.

+- deltachat-rpc-client: Add `Message.get_sender_contact()`.
+- Turn `ContactAddress` into an owned type.
+
+### Features / Changes
+
+- Lowercase addresses in Autocrypt and Autocrypt-Gossip headers.
+- Lowercase the address in member added/removed messages.
+- Lowercase `addr` when it is set.
+- Do not replace the message with an error in square brackets when the sender is not a member of the protected group.
+
+### Fixes
+

+- `Chat::rename_ex()`: Sync improved chat name to other devices.
+- Recognize `Chat-Group-Member-Added` of self case-insensitively.
+- Compare verifier addr to peerstate addr case-insensitively.
+

@@ -8,157 +8,3 @@ a low-level Chat/Contact/Message API to user interfaces and bots.

 .. _`deltachat-core library`: https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust
 .. _`Python bindings`: https://py.delta.chat/
-
-Installing pre-built packages (Linux-only)
-==========================================
-
-If you have a Linux system you may install the ``deltachat`` binary "wheel" packages
-without any "build-from-source" steps.
-Otherwise you need to `compile the Delta Chat bindings yourself`__.
-
-__ sourceinstall_
-
-We recommend to first create a fresh Python virtual environment
-and activate it in your shell::
-
-    python -m venv env
-    source env/bin/activate
-
-Afterwards, invoking ``python`` or ``pip install`` only
-modifies files in your ``env`` directory and leaves
-your system installation alone.
-
-For Linux we build wheels for all releases and push them to a python package
-index. To install the latest release::
-
-    pip install deltachat
-
-To verify it worked::
-
-    python -c "import deltachat"
-
-Running tests
-=============
-
-Recommended way to run tests is using `scripts/run-python-test.sh`
-script provided in the core repository.
-
-This script compiles the library in debug mode and runs the tests using `tox`_.
-By default it will run all "offline" tests and skip all functional
-end-to-end tests that require accounts on real e-mail servers.
-
-.. _`tox`: https://tox.wiki
-.. _livetests:
-
-Running "live" tests with temporary accounts
--------------------------------------------
-
-If you want to run live functional tests
-you can set ``CHATMAIL_DOMAIN`` to a domain of the email server
-that creates e-mail accounts like this::
-
-    export CHATMAIL_DOMAIN=nine.testrun.org
-
-With this account-creation setting, pytest runs create ephemeral e-mail accounts on the server.
-These accounts have the pattern `ci-{6 characters}@{CHATMAIL_DOMAIN}`.
-After setting the variable, either rerun `scripts/run-python-test.sh`
-or run offline and online tests with `tox` directly::
-
-    tox -e py
-
-Each test run creates new accounts.
-
-Developing the bindings
-----------------------
-
-If you want to develop or debug the bindings,
-you can create a testing development environment using `tox`::
-
-    export DCC_RS_DEV="$PWD"
-    export DCC_RS_TARGET=debug
-    tox -c python --devenv env -e py
-    . env/bin/activate
-
-Inside this environment the bindings are installed
-in editable mode (as if installed with `python -m pip install -e`)
-together with the testing dependencies like `pytest` and its plugins.
-
-You can then edit the source code in the development tree
-and quickly run `pytest` manually without waiting  for `tox`
-to recreating the virtual environment each time.
-
-.. _sourceinstall:
-
-Installing bindings from source
-===============================
-
-Install Rust and Cargo first.
-The easiest is probably to use `rustup <https://rustup.rs/>`_.
-
-Bootstrap Rust and Cargo by using rustup::
-
-   curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
-
-Then clone the deltachat-core-rust repo::
-
-   git clone https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust
-   cd deltachat-core-rust
-
-To install the Delta Chat Python bindings make sure you have Python3 installed.
-E.g. on Debian-based systems `apt install python3 python3-pip
-python3-venv` should give you a usable python installation.
-
-First, build the core library::
-
-   cargo build --release -p deltachat_ffi --features jsonrpc
-
-`jsonrpc` feature is required even if not used by the bindings
-because `deltachat.h` includes JSON-RPC functions unconditionally.
-
-Create the virtual environment and activate it:
-
-   python -m venv env
-   source env/bin/activate
-
-Build and install the bindings:
-
-   export DCC_RS_DEV="$PWD"
-   export DCC_RS_TARGET=release
-   python -m pip install ./python
-
-`DCC_RS_DEV` environment variable specifies the location of
-the core development tree. If this variable is not set,
-`libdeltachat` library and `deltachat.h` header are expected
-to be installed system-wide.
-
-When `DCC_RS_DEV` is set, `DCC_RS_TARGET` specifies
-the build profile name to look up the artifacts
-in the target directory.
-In this case setting it can be skipped because
-`DCC_RS_TARGET=release` is the default.
-
-Building manylinux based wheels
-===============================
-
-Building portable manylinux wheels which come with libdeltachat.so
-can be done with Docker_ or Podman_.
-
-.. _Docker: https://www.docker.com/
-.. _Podman: https://podman.io/
-
-If you want to build your own wheels, build container image first::
-
-   $ cd deltachat-core-rust # cd to deltachat-core-rust working tree
-   $ docker build -t deltachat/coredeps scripts/coredeps
-
-This will use the ``scripts/coredeps/Dockerfile`` to build
-container image called ``deltachat/coredeps``.  You can afterwards
-find it with::
-
-   $ docker images
-
-This docker image can be used to run tests and build Python wheels for all interpreters::
-
-    $ docker run -e CHATMAIL_DOMAIN \
-       --rm -it -v $(pwd):/mnt -w /mnt \
-       deltachat/coredeps scripts/run_all.sh

+Install
+=======
+
+Installing pre-built packages (Linux-only)
+------------------------------------------
+
+If you have a Linux system you may install the ``deltachat`` binary "wheel" packages
+without any "build-from-source" steps.
+Otherwise you need to `compile the Delta Chat bindings yourself`__.
+
+__ sourceinstall_
+
+We recommend to first create a fresh Python virtual environment
+and activate it in your shell::
+
+    python -m venv env
+    source env/bin/activate
+
+Afterwards, invoking ``python`` or ``pip install`` only
+modifies files in your ``env`` directory and leaves
+your system installation alone.
+
+For Linux we build wheels for all releases and push them to a python package
+index. To install the latest release::
+
+    pip install deltachat
+
+To verify it worked::
+
+    python -c "import deltachat"
+
+.. _sourceinstall:
+
+Installing bindings from source
+-------------------------------
+
+Install Rust and Cargo first.
+The easiest is probably to use `rustup <https://rustup.rs/>`_.
+
+Bootstrap Rust and Cargo by using rustup::
+
+   curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
+
+Then clone the deltachat-core-rust repo::
+
+   git clone https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust
+   cd deltachat-core-rust
+
+To install the Delta Chat Python bindings make sure you have Python3 installed.
+E.g. on Debian-based systems `apt install python3 python3-pip
+python3-venv` should give you a usable python installation.
+
+First, build the core library::
+
+   cargo build --release -p deltachat_ffi --features jsonrpc
+
+`jsonrpc` feature is required even if not used by the bindings
+because `deltachat.h` includes JSON-RPC functions unconditionally.
+
+Create the virtual environment and activate it::
+
+   python -m venv env
+   source env/bin/activate
+
+Build and install the bindings::
+
+   export DCC_RS_DEV="$PWD"
+   export DCC_RS_TARGET=release
+   python -m pip install ./python
+
+`DCC_RS_DEV` environment variable specifies the location of
+the core development tree. If this variable is not set,
+`libdeltachat` library and `deltachat.h` header are expected
+to be installed system-wide.
+
+When `DCC_RS_DEV` is set, `DCC_RS_TARGET` specifies
+the build profile name to look up the artifacts
+in the target directory.
+In this case setting it can be skipped because
+`DCC_RS_TARGET=release` is the default.

+Introduction
+============
+
+CFFI bindings are available via the `deltachat <https://pypi.org/project/deltachat/>`_ Python package.
+The package contains both the Python bindings and the Delta Chat core.
+It is provided only for Linux.
+
+The ``deltachat`` Python package provides two layers of bindings for the
+core Rust-library of the https://delta.chat messaging ecosystem:
+low-level CFFI bindings to the C interface of the Delta Chat core
+and high-level Python bindings built on top of CFFI bindings.

+Building Manylinux-Based Wheels
+===============================
+
+Building portable manylinux wheels which come with libdeltachat.so
+can be done with Docker_ or Podman_.
+
+.. _Docker: https://www.docker.com/
+.. _Podman: https://podman.io/
+
+If you want to build your own wheels, build container image first::
+
+   $ cd deltachat-core-rust # cd to deltachat-core-rust working tree
+   $ docker build -t deltachat/coredeps scripts/coredeps
+
+This will use the ``scripts/coredeps/Dockerfile`` to build
+container image called ``deltachat/coredeps``.  You can afterwards
+find it with::
+
+   $ docker images
+
+This docker image can be used to run tests and build Python wheels for all interpreters::
+
+    $ docker run -e CHATMAIL_DOMAIN \
+       --rm -it -v $(pwd):/mnt -w /mnt \
+       deltachat/coredeps scripts/run_all.sh

+Running Tests
+=============
+
+Recommended way to run tests is using `scripts/run-python-test.sh`
+script provided in the core repository.
+
+This script compiles the library in debug mode and runs the tests using `tox`_.
+By default it will run all "offline" tests and skip all functional
+end-to-end tests that require accounts on real email servers.
+
+.. _`tox`: https://tox.wiki
+.. _livetests:
+
+Running "Live" Tests With Temporary Accounts
+--------------------------------------------
+
+If you want to run live functional tests
+you can set ``CHATMAIL_DOMAIN`` to a domain of the email server
+that creates email accounts like this::
+
+    export CHATMAIL_DOMAIN=nine.testrun.org
+
+With this account-creation setting, pytest runs create ephemeral email accounts on the server.
+These accounts have the pattern `ci-{6 characters}@{CHATMAIL_DOMAIN}`.
+After setting the variable, either rerun `scripts/run-python-test.sh`
+or run offline and online tests with `tox` directly::
+
+    tox -e py
+
+Each test run creates new accounts.
+
+Developing the Bindings
+-----------------------
+
+If you want to develop or debug the bindings,
+you can create a testing development environment using `tox`::
+
+    export DCC_RS_DEV="$PWD"
+    export DCC_RS_TARGET=debug
+    tox -c python --devenv env -e py
+    . env/bin/activate
+
+Inside this environment the bindings are installed
+in editable mode (as if installed with `python -m pip install -e`)
+together with the testing dependencies like `pytest` and its plugins.
+
+You can then edit the source code in the development tree
+and quickly run `pytest` manually without waiting  for `tox`
+to recreating the virtual environment each time.

-=========================
+Delta Chat Python bindings, new and old
+=======

-The ``deltachat`` Python package provides two layers of bindings for the
-core Rust-library of the https://delta.chat messaging ecosystem:
-
- :doc:`api` is a high level interface to deltachat-core.
-
- :doc:`plugins` is a brief introduction into implementing plugin hooks.
-
- :doc:`lapi` is a lowlevel CFFI-binding to the `Rust Core
-  <https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust>`_.
-
-
-
-getting started
---------------
+`Delta Chat <https://delta.chat/>`_ provides two kinds of Python bindings
+to the `Rust Core <https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust>`_:
+JSON-RPC bindings and CFFI bindings.
+When starting a new project it is recommended to use JSON-RPC bindings,
+which are used in the Delta Chat Desktop app through generated Typescript-bindings. 
+The Python JSON-RPC bindings are maintained by Delta Chat core developers. 
+Most existing bot projects and many tests in Delta Chat's own core library
+still use the CFFI-bindings, and it is going to be maintained certainly also in 2024. 
+New APIs might however only appear in the JSON-RPC bindings, 
+as the CFFI bindings are increasingly in maintenance-only mode.

+===========
+Development
+===========
+
+To develop JSON-RPC bindings,
+clone the `deltachat-core-rust <https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/>`_ repository::
+
+   git clone https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust.git
+
+Testing
+=======
+
+To run online tests, set ``CHATMAIL_DOMAIN``
+to a domain of the email server
+that can be used to create testing accounts::
+
+    export CHATMAIL_DOMAIN=nine.testrun.org
+
+Then run ``scripts/run-rpc-test.sh``
+to build debug version of ``deltachat-rpc-server``
+and run ``deltachat-rpc-client`` tests
+in a separate virtual environment managed by `tox <https://tox.wiki/>`_.
+
+Development Environment
+=======================
+
+Creating a new virtual environment
+to run the tests each time
+as ``scripts/run-rpc-test.sh`` does is slow
+if you are changing the tests or the code
+and want to rerun the tests each time.
+
+If you are developing the tests,
+it is better to create a persistent virtual environment.
+You can do this by running ``scripts/make-rpc-testenv.sh``.
+This creates a virtual environment ``venv`` which you can then enter with::
+
+   . venv/bin/activate
+
+Then you can run the tests with
+
+::
+
+    pytest deltachat-rpc-client/tests/
+
+Refer to `pytest documentation <https://docs.pytest.org/>` for details.
+
+If make the changes to Delta Chat core
+or Python bindings, you can rebuild the environment by rerunning
+``scripts/make-rpc-testenv.sh``.
+It is ok to rebuild the activated environment this way,
+you do not need to deactivate or reactivate the environment each time.
+
+Using REPL
+==========
+
+Once you have a development environment,
+you can quickly test things in REPL::
+
+   $ python
+   >>> from deltachat_rpc_client import *
+   >>> rpc = Rpc()
+   >>> rpc.start()
+   >>> dc = DeltaChat(rpc)
+   >>> system_info = dc.get_system_info()
+   >>> system_info["level"]
+   'awesome'
+   >>> rpc.close()

+Install
+=======
+
+To use JSON-RPC bindings for Delta Chat core you will need
+a ``deltachat-rpc-server`` binary which provides Delta Chat core API over JSON-RPC
+and a ``deltachat-rpc-client`` Python package which is a JSON-RPC client that starts ``deltachat-rpc-server`` process and uses JSON-RPC API.
+
+`Create a virtual environment <https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html>`__ if you
+don’t have one already and activate it::
+
+   $ python -m venv venv
+   $ . venv/bin/activate
+
+Install ``deltachat-rpc-server``
+--------------------------------
+
+To get ``deltachat-rpc-server`` binary you have three options:
+
+1. Install ``deltachat-rpc-server`` from PyPI using ``pip install deltachat-rpc-server``.
+2. Build and install ``deltachat-rpc-server`` from source with ``cargo install --git https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/ deltachat-rpc-server``.
+3. Download prebuilt release from https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/releases and install it into ``PATH``.
+
+Check that ``deltachat-rpc-server`` is installed and can run::
+
+   $ deltachat-rpc-server --version
+   1.131.4
+
+Then install ``deltachat-rpc-client`` with ``pip install deltachat-rpc-client``.
+
+Install ``deltachat-rpc-client``
+--------------------------------
+
+To get ``deltachat-rpc-client`` Python library you can:
+
+1. Install ``deltachat-rpc-client`` from PyPI using ``pip install deltachat-rpc-client``.
+2. Install ``deltachat-rpc-client`` from source with ``pip install git+https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust.git@main#subdirectory=deltachat-rpc-client``.

+Introduction
+============
+
+JSON-RPC bindings are available via the `deltachat-rpc-client <https://pypi.org/project/deltachat-rpc-client/>`_ Python package.
+This package provides only the Python bindings and requires ``deltachat-rpc-server`` binary to be installed.
+`deltachat-rpc-server <https://pypi.org/project/deltachat-rpc-server/>`_ package provides ``deltachat-rpc-server`` binary for Linux, Windows, macOS and Android.
+
+RPC client connects to standalone Delta Chat RPC server ``deltachat-rpc-server`` and provides Python interface to it.
