- SàT can now handle components
- plugin have now a "modes" key in PLUGIN_INFO where they declare if they can be used with clients and or components. They default to be client only.
- components are really similar to clients, but with some changes in behaviour:
* component has "entry point", which is a special plugin with a componentStart method, which is called just after component is connected
* trigger end with a different suffixes (e.g. profileConnected vs profileConnectedComponent), so a plugin which manage both clients and components can have different workflow
* for clients, only triggers of plugins handling client mode are launched
* for components, only triggers of plugins needed in dependencies are launched. They all must handle component mode.
* component have a sendHistory attribute (False by default) which can be set to True to allow saving sent messages into history
* for convenience, "client" is still used in method even if it can now be a component
* a new "component" boolean attribute tells if we have a component or a client
* components have to add themselve Message protocol
* roster and presence protocols are not added for components
* component default port is 5347 (which is Prosody's default port)
- asyncCreateProfile has been renamed for profileCreate, both to follow new naming convention and to prepare the transition to fully asynchronous bridge
- createProfile has a new "component" attribute. When used to create a component, it must be set to a component entry point
- jp: added --component argument to profile/create
- disconnect bridge method is now asynchronous, this way frontends can know when disconnection is finished
- new PI_* constants for PLUGIN_INFO values (not used everywhere yet)
- client/component connection workflow has been moved to their classes instead of being a host methods
- host.messageSend is now client.sendMessage, and former client.sendMessage is now client.sendMessageData.
- identities are now handled in client.identities list, so it can be updated dynamically by plugins (in the future, frontends should be able to update them too through bridge)
- profileConnecting* profileConnected* profileDisconnected* and getHandler now all use client instead of profile
- new client.sendMessage method is used instead of sendMessageToStream
- client.feedback is used in OTR
- OTR now add message processing hints and carbon private element as recommanded by XEP-0364. Explicit Message Encryption is still TODO
- OTR use the new sendMessageFinish trigger, this has a number of advantages:
* there is little risk that OTR is skipped by other plugins (they have to use client.sendMessage as recommanded)
* being at the end of the chain, OTR can check and remove any HTML or other leaking elements
* OTR doesn't have to skip other plugins anymore, this means that things like delivery receipts are now working with OTR
(but because there is not full stanza encryption, they can leak metadata)
* OTR can decide to follow storage hint by letting or deleting "history" key
/!\ several features are temporarily disabled, like notifications in frontends
next step in refactoring, with the following changes:
- jp: updated jp message to follow changes in backend/bridge
- jp: added --lang, --subject, --subject_lang, and --type options to jp message + fixed unicode handling for jid
- quick_frontend (QuickApp, QuickChat):
- follow backend changes
- refactored chat, message are now handled in OrderedDict and uid are kept so they can be updated
- Message and Occupant classes handle metadata, so frontend just have to display them
- Primitivus (Chat):
- follow backend/QuickFrontend changes
- info & standard messages are handled in the same MessageWidget class
- improved/simplified handling of messages, removed update() method
- user joined/left messages are merged when next to each other
- a separator is shown when message is received while widget is out of focus, so user can quickly see the new messages
- affiliation/role are shown (in a basic way for now) in occupants panel
- removed "/me" messages handling, as it will be done by a backend plugin
- message language is displayed when available (only one language per message for now)
- fixed :history and :search commands
- core (constants): new constants for messages type, XML namespace, entity type
- core: *Message methods renamed to follow new code sytle (e.g. sendMessageToBridge => messageSendToBridge)
- core (messages handling): fixed handling of language
- core (messages handling): mes_data['from'] and ['to'] are now jid.JID
- core (core.xmpp): reorganised message methods, added getNick() method to client.roster
- plugin text commands: fixed plugin and adapted to new messages behaviour. client is now used in arguments instead of profile
- plugins: added information for cancellation reason in CancelError calls
- plugin XEP-0045: various improvments, but this plugin still need work:
- trigger is used to avoid message already handled by the plugin to be handled a second time
- changed the way to handle history, the last message from DB is checked and we request only messages since this one, in seconds (thanks Poezio folks :))
- subject reception is waited before sending the roomJoined signal, this way we are sure that everything including history is ready
- cmd_* method now follow the new convention with client instead of profile
- roomUserJoined and roomUserLeft messages are removed, the events are now handled with info message with a "ROOM_USER_JOINED" info subtype
- probably other forgotten stuffs :p
/!\ database schema has been modified, do a backup before updating
message have been refactored, here are the main changes:
- languages are now handled
- all messages have an uid (internal to SàT)
- message updating is anticipated
- subject is now first class
- new naming scheme is used newMessage => messageNew, getHistory => historyGet, sendMessage => messageSend
- minimal compatibility refactoring in quick_frontend/Primitivus, better refactoring should follow
- threads handling
- delayed messages are saved into history
- info messages may also be saved in history (e.g. to keep track of people joining/leaving a room)
- duplicate messages should be avoided
- historyGet return messages in right order, no need to sort again
- plugins have been updated to follow new features, some of them need to be reworked (e.g. OTR)
- XEP-0203 (Delayed Delivery) is now fully handled in core, the plugin just handle disco and creation of a delay element
- /!\ jp and Libervia are currently broken, as some features of Primitivus
It has been put in one huge commit to avoid breaking messaging between changes.
This is the main part of message refactoring, other commits will follow to take profit of the new features/behaviour.
- better separation of message sending actions
- use of more generic exceptions to hook the behaviour (SkipHistory and CancelError)
- use of raise instead of return
- use of failure.trap
- _() is no more installed in __builtin__
- instead, there is a new sat.core.i18n module
- added D_() method for deferred translation
- languageSwitch method allow to dynamically change translation language
- import gettext is tested against ImportError, and dummy methods are used when not available (mainly useful for Libervia)
- frontends pass the recipients in the extra parameter of sendMessage
- backend checks if the target server supports the feature (this is not done yet by prosody plugin)
- features and identities are cached per profile and server
- messages are duplicated in history for now (TODO: redesign the database)
- echos signals are also duplicated to the sender (FIXME)
