Eliminate the concept of 'Recipients' (plural). There is now just
a 'Recipient', which contains an Address that is either an individual
or a group ID.
MMS groups now exist as part of the group database, just like push
groups.
// FREEBIE
This was a holdover from Signal's origins as a pure SMS app.
It causes problems, depends on undefined device specific behavior,
and should no longer be necessary now that we have all the
information we need to E164 all numbers.
// FREEBIE
1) Remove all our PDU code and switch to the PDU code from the
klinker library
2) Switch to using the system Lollipop MMS library by default,
and falling back to our own custom library if that fails.
3) Format SMIL differently, using code from klinker instead of
what we've pieced together.
4) Pull per-carrier MMS media constraints from the XML config
files in the klinker library, instead of hardcoding it at 280kb.
Hopefully this is an improvement, but given that MMS is involved,
it will probably make things worse instead.
1) Migrate from GSON to Jackson everywhere.
2) Add support for storing identity key conflicts on message rows.
3) Add limited support for surfacing identity key conflicts in UI.
1) Change SessionBuilder to only establish sessions via
KeyExchangeMessage and PreKeyBundles.
2) Change SessionCipher to decrypt either WhisperMessage
or PreKeyWhisperMessage items, automatically building
a session for the latter.
3) Change SessionCipher to tear down new sessions built
with PreKeyWhisperMessages if the embedded WhsiperMessage
fails to decrypt.
1) Break the core cryptography functions out into libaxolotol.
2) The objective for this code is a Java library that isn't
dependent on any Android functions. However, while the
code has been separated from any Android functionality,
it is still an 'android library project' because of the
JNI.
1) On the push side, this message is a flag in PushMessageContent.
Any secure message with that flag will terminate the current
sessin.
2) On the SMS side, there is an "end session" wire type and
the convention that a message with this wire type must be
secure and contain the string "TERMINATE."
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) Added SMS transport support.
2) Keep track of whether a PreKeyBundle message has gotten
a response, and send them as subsequent messages until
one has been received.
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) There was a regression in the outgoing multipart transport
logic, such that the same 'identifier' byte would be used
for all messages (0). This now works correctly.
2) Added some additional heuristics on the receiving side.
Now mutlipart containers are only valid for 1hr, and are
considered invalid if the container size is different from
the multipart message size.
1) We now try to hand out cursors at a minimum. There has always been
a fairly clean insertion layer that handles encrypting message bodies,
but the process of decrypting message bodies has always been less than
ideal. Here we introduce a "Reader" interface that will decrypt message
bodies when appropriate and return objects that encapsulate record state.
No more MessageDisplayHelper. The MmsSmsDatabase interface is also more
sane.
2) We finally rid ourselves of the technical debt associated with TextSecure's
initial usage of the default SMS DB. In that world, we weren't able to use
anything other than the default "Inbox, Outbox, Sent" types to describe a
message, and had to overload the message content itself with a set of
local "prefixes" to describe what it was (encrypted, asymetric encrypted,
remote encrypted, a key exchange, procssed key exchange), and so on.
This includes a major schema update that transforms the "type" field into
a bitmask that describes everything that used to be encoded in a prefix,
and prefixes have been completely eliminated from the system.
No more Prefix.java
3) Refactoring of the MultipartMessageHandler code. It's less of a mess, and
hopefully more clear as to what's going on.
The next step is to remove what we can from SmsTransportDetails and genericize
that interface for a GCM equivalent.
1) When sending an SMS or MMS to multiple recipients, only show one
ConversationItem, but provide statistics on the number of recipients
delivered to.
2) Still break up the messages for secure and insecure messages.
1) Change the MessageSender logic so that individual SMS messages
are encrypted whenever there is a secure session, unless the UI
explicitly specifies otherwise.
2) Change the MMS logic so that messages to a recipient with a
secure session are all sent individually, instead of including
those recipients into the batch plaintext message.
