this method will be called by frontend to know which profile to connect automatically
(when the frontend has been closed and is reopened, this will avoid to have to go through
the profileManager again).
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.
- renamed fromDict to more accurate fromListDict
- fixed handling of None filter in fromListDict
- fixes show_header when no header exist
- escape headers when using namedtuple, so it won't fail
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.
namespaces and encryption plugins are only retrieved once backend is ready, else they may
not yet be available (can happen notably when the backend is start at the same time as the
frontend, e.g. on Android).
- new notification sound
- vibration and notification sound are now activated depending on ringer mode (normal,
vibrate or silent)
- notification sound/vibration can be configured in settings.
- 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
room statuses are now sent with other metadata on bridge signals, and saved in Room
instance. They give useful data on the room, for instance they can be used to know if a
full jid is used in this room.
- publishing options (XEP-0060 §7.1.5) implementation.
- jp pubsub/set can specify publish-options using `-f` and `-F`
- doc has been updated to explain that
- psItemSend and psItemsSend now use serialisation for "extra"
- publish-options can be specified in extra['publish-options'] with those methods
on some GNU/Linux discributions, `twistd` script is named `twistd3`, so sat script is now
looking for `twistd3` first.
If none is found, a message is printed on stderr and the script exit with an error code.
- new file/get command let download a file from URL. It handles `aesgcm:` scheme by
thanks to backend decryption on the fly.
- new `--encrypt` option for upload. When used, the file will be encrypted using AES-GCM
algorithm, and the `aesgcm:` URL will be returned
- for both commands, the XMLUI note is displayed in case of error
The scheme is register with download meta plugin, and it is activated with HTTP Upload
(XEP-0363) when `encryption` is used in `options` with the value of C.ENC_AES_GCM.
This is also known as `OMEMO Media Sharing` even if this method is not directly linked to
OMEMO and can be used independently.
- use of async/await syntax
- fileUpload's options are now serialised, allowing non string values
- (XEP-0363) Slot is now a dataclass, so it can be modified by other plugins
- (XEP-0363) Moved SSL related code to the new tools.web module
- (XEP-0363) added `XEP-0363_upload_size` and `XEP-0363_upload` trigger points
- a Deferred is not used anymore for `progress_id`, the value is directly returned
- first code in backend to use async/await Python syntax \o/
- plugin with file upload
- URL schemes can be registered
- `http` and `https` schemes are handled by default
- if `data_cb` is used and if it returns a not None value, it is used instead of the data
read from the file. This allows data modification on the fly, useful notably for
encryption
- new `check_size_with_read` argument which check size on `close()` using amount of data
actually read/written instead of file size. This avoid a warning when file is modified
on the fly
- added `closed` attribute
- python-omemo minimal version is now 0.11.0
- `undecided` devices are now handled, fixing the "accept all or none" issue: if a device
is `undecided`, the trust manager will be shown with the missing devices before sending
the message.
- `untrusted` devices are discarded
