typeCheck() is not automatically called on reception by Wokkel, as a result extensions
fields values may be strings instead of the field type. TypeCheck is now explicitly
called in memory.disco to avoid that. It is not called immediately on reception as the
string value is needed to calculate the capability hash
If peer sends encrypted message and we have no encryption activated, we automatically
start encryption to avoid sending plain text message when answering.
markAsEncrypted now needs the encryption algorithm namespace as mandatory argument.
- `encrypted` flag is now put directly in extra, so that there is nothing to change when
sending the message to bridge for frontends to be aware of it.
- this flag is now also set when markAsEncrypted is used, so frontend can display
appropriate indicator to show that outgoing message is encrypted or not.
`PyCrypto` is unmaintained for years but was used in SàT for password hashing. This patch
fixes that by replacing `PyCrypto` by the reference `cryptography` module which is well
maintained.
The behaviour stays the same (except that previously async `hash`, `encrypt` and `decrypt`
methods are now synchronous, as they are quick and using a deferToThread may actually be
more resource intensive than using blocking methods).
It is planed to improve `memory.crypto` by using more up-to-date cryptography/hashing
algorithms in the future.
PyCrypto is no more a dependency of SàT
In some case, it may be desirable for a frontend to not expose some parameters to user
(e.g. it is the case on Android with the `autoconnect_backend` parameter). An new `extra`
parameter has been added to a couple of parameters method for that: it can contain the
`ignore` key with a list of [category, name] of parameters to skip.
A new Connection/autoconnect_backend param can be set for a profile or component to be
started automatically with backend. This is specially useful for components, but can be
useful for client profile too (e.g. on Android we need to start profile with backend to
get notifications, this part will come with following commits).
The new Sqlite.getIndParamValues method allows to retrieve the same parameters for all
profiles.
- encryption is now allowed for group chats
- when an encryption is requested for a MUC, real jids or all occupants are used to
encrypt the message
- a cache for plain text message sent to MUC is used, because for security reason we can't
encrypt message for our own device with OMEMO (that would prevent ratchet and break the
prefect forward secrecy). Thus, message sent in MUC are cached for 5 min, and the
decrypted version is used when found. We don't send immediately the plain text message
to frontends and history because we want to keep the same MUC behaviour as for plain
text, and receiving a message means that it was received and sent back by MUC service
- <origin-id> is used to identify messages sent by our device
- a feedback_jid is now use to use correct entity for feedback message in case of problem:
with a room we have to send feedback message to the room and not the the emitter
- encryptMessage now only accepts list in the renamed "entity_bare_jids" argument
launch script was importing a method from memory (fixLocalDir), but memory is importing
twisted.internet.reactor which can result to a ReactorAlreadyInstalledError.
This patch fixes it by moving fixLocalDir to tools/config.
The launch script is now using /usr/bin/env.
/!\ this commit is huge. Jp is temporarily not working with `dbus` bridge /!\
This patch implements the port of jp to asyncio, so it is now correctly using the bridge
asynchronously, and it can be used with bridges like `pb`. This also simplify the code,
notably for things which were previously implemented with many callbacks (like pagination
with RSM).
During the process, some behaviours have been modified/fixed, in jp and backends, check
diff for details.
/!\ this is a huge commit
/!\ starting from this commit, SàT is needs Python 3.6+
/!\ SàT maybe be instable or some feature may not work anymore, this will improve with time
This patch port backend, bridge and frontends to Python 3.
Roughly this has been done this way:
- 2to3 tools has been applied (with python 3.7)
- all references to python2 have been replaced with python3 (notably shebangs)
- fixed files not handled by 2to3 (notably the shell script)
- several manual fixes
- fixed issues reported by Python 3 that where not handled in Python 2
- replaced "async" with "async_" when needed (it's a reserved word from Python 3.7)
- replaced zope's "implements" with @implementer decorator
- temporary hack to handle data pickled in database, as str or bytes may be returned,
to be checked later
- fixed hash comparison for password
- removed some code which is not needed anymore with Python 3
- deactivated some code which needs to be checked (notably certificate validation)
- tested with jp, fixed reported issues until some basic commands worked
- ported Primitivus (after porting dependencies like urwid satext)
- more manual fixes
the deferreds of the queries writing message to databases where not gathered and returned,
so the caller was not waiting for them to continue its workflow. This was resulting in
messages not always written when database was read just after the write (a case common
with MUC implementation), and message was appearing empty when sent to bridge.
fix 328
an old hardcoded value was used in several places to detect if an entity is a MUC, but this
value was not valid anymore. This has been fixed, and ENTITY_TYPE_MUC constant is now used
instead. This fixes message type autodetection for "groupchat" messages.
fixes 300
