`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.
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
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
- 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/
