link2xt ce016eb567 feat: add secondary verified key
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.

Delta Chat RPC python client

RPC client connects to standalone Delta Chat RPC server deltachat-rpc-server and provides asynchronous interface to it.

Getting started

To use Delta Chat RPC client, first build a deltachat-rpc-server with cargo build -p deltachat-rpc-server or download a prebuilt release. Install it anywhere in your PATH.

Create a virtual environment if you don't have one already and activate it.

$ python -m venv env
$ . env/bin/activate

Install deltachat-rpc-client from source:

$ cd deltachat-rpc-client
$ pip install .

Testing

  1. Build deltachat-rpc-server with cargo build -p deltachat-rpc-server.
  2. Run PATH="../target/debug:$PATH" tox.

Additional arguments to tox are passed to pytest, e.g. tox -- -s does not capture test output.

Using in REPL

Setup a development environment:

$ tox --devenv env
$ . env/bin/activate
$ 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()
