1) In addition to the Recipient interface, there is now
RecipientDevice. A Recipient can have multiple corresponding
RecipientDevices. All addressing is done to a Recipient, but
crypto sessions and transport delivery are done to
RecipientDevice.
2) The Push transport handles the discovery and session setup
of additional Recipient devices.
3) Some internal rejiggering of Groups.
1) Add encryption support for the transport layer. This obscures
metadata from the push messaging provider.
2) Better support the direction multiple destination messages is
headed (one unique message per recipient).
1) Move all the crypto classes from securesms.crypto.
2) Move all the crypto storage from securesms.database.keys
3) Replace the old imported BC code with spongycastle.
1) Make the radio change a synchronous action with a timeout.
2) Move the send logic into an MmsTransport, in preparation for
UniversalTransport composition.
3) Move the download logic into a synchronous receiver.
1) The system does actually enforce having a BROADCAST_SMS
permission on the SMS receiver. Break out the "delivered"
parts of this into a separate Receiver, so the permission
won't trip up GB devices.
2) The system does actually enforce having "quick response"
intents. Add a no-op for now.
3) Add a "make default" prompt.
4) Update settings to reflect what's going on in KitKat.
1) Broke out the UI elements of the major Activites into stylable
attributes.
2) Created a 'light' and 'dark' theme for the newly stylable attrs.
3) Touched up some of the UI spacing.
4) Implemented dynamic theme switching support.
1) We now delay MMS notifications until a payload is received,
or there's an error downloading the payload. This makes
group messages more consistent.
2) All "text" parts of an MMS are combined into a second text
record, which is stored in the MMS row directly rather than
as a distinct part. This allows for immediate text loading,
which means there's no chance a ConversationItem will resize.
To do this, we need to include MMS in the big DB migration
that's already staged for this application update. It's also
an "application-level" migration, because we need the MasterSecret
to do it.
3) On conversation display, all image-based parts now have their
thumbnails loaded asynchronously. This allows for smooth-scrolling.
The thumbnails are also scaled more accurately.
1) Refactor the master secret reset logic to properly interact with
services.
2) Add support for "BigText" and "Inbox" style notifications.
3) Decrypt message bodies when unlocked, display 'encrypted' when
locked.
1) Switch back from AsyncTasks to an Executor and Futures.
2) Make the Executor operate LIFO.
3) Make the Executor thread a BACKGROUND_PRIORITY thread.
1) Refactor recipient class to support asynchronous loading operations.
2) Refactor recipient factory to simplify recipient access.
3) Consoliate everything into one recipient provider that is capable of
doing async lookups and intelligent caching.
1) Change all instances which use concatenation to build strings
with variables in them to use string formatting instead.
2) Extract all string literals from layouts and menus into strings.xml
3) Extract all string literals from code into strings.xml
1) Start breaking the UI out into Fragments.
2) Switch to Cursor loaders from managed cursors.
3) Switch to inflated menu resources.
4) Break out some basic functionality into helper classes.
The best-effort memory cleaning logic for MasterSecrets
is no longer accurate, since they are being passed through
both Binder calls as well as Intents, blurring whether an
activity is using a MasterSecret which is a reference to
shared memory in the KeyCachingService or not.
