- Check for permissions.
- Fix Welsh positional format.
- Remove UIThread restriction.
- Asynchronous method does not need to be restricted to UIThread and there is no StaticFieldLeak to suppress.
- Fix or Ignore New API errors.
- Reduce severity of some errors from L10N.
We observed IOExceptions loading the Contact Discovery IAS KeyStore. We will now throw an AssertionError upon any error
creating the IAS KeyStore, matching the behaviour for creation of the TrustStore used for the main Signal Service. NB: If
this assertion is hit, the user will not even be able to refresh their contacts with the old directory service.
We'll be updating minSdk to 19 in 4.37. This lets these users continue
to use the app, but they'll be warned with a persistent banner saying
that they can't receive updates.
The way the highlight was done could get screwed up if you had multiple
whitespaces in a row. This particularly came up with messages with
multiple newlines.
It didn't re-measure when pulling an item from the cache, screwing stuff
up after a phone rotation. Had a workaround for it for specific screens,
but this fixes the problem at the source.
Fixes#8583
TreeSets are annoying. contains() is calculated with the comparator,
which can lead to some weird bugs. Made sure the comparator didn't think
two items with the same date were identical.
Also fixed stableId generation to avoid any potential weirdness there.
Update our media send flow to allow users to send multiple images/videos
at once. This change includes:
- New in-app media picker flow.
- Ability to caption images and videos.
- Image editing tools are made more prominent in the flow.
- Some fixes to the image editing tools.
If we already have two active processing GCM messages, there's no
benefit to a third. In fact, enqueuing additional ones will likely only
end up showing the foreground notification unnecessariliy.
A new, fullscreen camera capture flow that easily allows you to capture
and edit a photo before sending it. Replaces the current half-screen
camera button.
This also fixes the situation where we block group-leave messages,
preventing blocked contacts from leaving groups.
Fixes#7970
Also, this forced us to upgrade libsignal-service, which fixes the
websocket timeout issues. Thanks to @dpapavas!
Fixes#6644
We were hitting the transaction limit size. This change scales down
shortcut icons to be at most 300x300, which comes out to ~360kb, which
should be safely under the limit of 1mb.
Fixes#8139
Added a new logger that persists logs for a longer duration to the
user's cache directory. Logs are encrypted. The new logs are sent
in addition to the user's logcat output.
In particular, there were many issues with drawing corners.
Unfortunately, there's no pretty way to get masking working on every
Android version, so we have to switch back to using custom backgrounds
and then using multiple masking methods depending on Android version.
Also, I had to remove attr references in drawables. They crash on 4.x.
Unfortunately, there's apps out there that trigger contact changes
very frequently. Because we listen to the system for contact
changes to tell us when to sync, that could result in us sending
an abundance of contact syncs to linked desktop instances.
This throttles contact sync requests using the following methodology:
- By default, throttle contact syncs to 6 hrs while the app is
backgrounded.
- If a sync is throttled in the background, we set a dirty flag and
will execute the sync the next time the app is foregrounded.
- Syncs explicitly requested by desktop are never throttled.
The directory we were previously saving backups to on the external SD
card is actually deleted upon app uninstall and/or clearing the app's
data. There's also no reliable way to write to the root of an external
SD card (that isn't comically inconvenient), so for now it's safer if we
just move back to getting the regular 'ol standard external storage
directory (which is likely internal storage, despite its name).
Fixes#7845
1) There was an issue where we wouldn't auto-download group syncs.
2) There was another issue where we didn't show the download controls
for messages you sent yourself.
Fixed#7920
If a user is upgrading to use the SQLCipher database (which happened
back in 4.16, so this only applies to relatively dormant users who are
just getting back into the app) and received a new "user X joind signal"
message, then it could screw up the migration. So we're just dropping
these notifications that happen in this narrow window.
The sticky header cache was keeping views across rotations, causing them
to render incorrectly afterwards. I added a method to invalidate the
header layouts after rotation.
Fixes#7890.
When you share a vCard from an external app (like the Contacts app) into
Signal, we'll now convert it to a pretty Shared Contact message and
allow you to choose which fields of the contact you wish to send.
The "contact" option in the attachments tray now brings you through an
optimized contact sharing flow, allowing you to select specific fields
to share. The contact is then presented as a special message type,
allowing you to interact with the card to add the contact to your system
contacts, invite them to signal, initiate a signal message, etc.
Unfortunately, the change wasn't as simple as just switching to use our
EmojiTextView. That view only supported single-line text. I added
support for multi-line text.
Fixes#7704.
Previously, we were always rendering images as squares. Instead of doing
that, we now render them as close to true-to-size as possible (within
reasonable min/max width/height boundaries).
Strip all EXIF metadata from all JPEGs by re-encoding the JPEG. This
will keep all of the necessary visual effects of the tags (by encoding
them directly in the image data) while stripped the EXIF tags
themselves.
It is now possible to batch-delete media in the "media overview" screen.
You can long press to enter multi-select mode. Then a delete button
appears on the menu bar. After pressing delete, you will get a
confirmation, and if the user confirms, the items will delete while a
progres dialog shows.
