historically, Libervia (SàT before) was using camelCase as allowed by PEP8 when using a
pre-PEP8 code, to use the same coding style as in Twisted.
However, snake_case is more readable and it's better to follow PEP8 best practices, so it
has been decided to move on full snake_case. Because Libervia has a huge codebase, this
ended with a ugly mix of camelCase and snake_case.
To fix that, this patch does a big refactoring by renaming every function and method
(including bridge) that are not coming from Twisted or Wokkel, to use fully snake_case.
This is a massive change, and may result in some bugs.
Some f-strings where used in translatable text, this has been fixed by using explicit
`format()` call (using a script based on `tokenize`).
As tokenize messes with spaces, a reformating tool (`black`) has been applied to some
files afterwards.
`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.
/!\ 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
XMPP server certificate is now checked, and connection is refused (by default) if it's not valid.
Certificate check can be disabled in the new parameter "Configuration/check_certificate".
If certificate checking is disabled, a warning note is sent on every new connection.
Twisted and Wokkel are temporarly monkey patched in sat.core.tls_patches module, until modifications are merged upstream.
- moved directories from src and frontends/src to sat and sat_frontends, which is the recommanded naming convention
- move twisted directory to root
- removed all hacks from setup.py, and added missing dependencies, it is now clean
- use https URL for website in setup.py
- removed "Environment :: X11 Applications :: GTK", as wix is deprecated and removed
- renamed sat.sh to sat and fixed its installation
- added python_requires to specify Python version needed
- replaced glib2reactor which use deprecated code by gtk3reactor
sat can now be installed directly from virtualenv without using --system-site-packages anymore \o/
