Android doesn't have a "/etc/resolv.conf" that Twisted expect. As a result, SRV records
can't be checked correctly on connection.
To work around that, DNS servers used on Android are checked when necessary (on Android
plugin startup and on connectivity change), using some hacks, and Twisted is patched to
use them.
`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
instead of calling plyer's generic notify, AndroidNotification is now inherited to add a
SàT specific behaviour: a "sat_action" dictionary is now attached, to indicate to the
frontend what to do when the notification is opened.
a check is done to avoid running startConnection several times at once, which would lead
to the creation of several SatXMPPEntity instances at the same time, resulting in many
issues.
If startConnection is called while a previous one is not finished yet, a CancelError is
now raised.
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.
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
