First, we write the key a whole lot less. We write it on creation, then
never again.
Second, it's in a file we control very closely. Instead of blindly
regenerating the key if the target file generates an error on read,
we block startup unless the error is 'ENOENT' - the file isn't there
at all.
This still allows for the key.txt file to be deleted or corrupted
somehow, but it should be a lot less common than the high-traffic
config.json used for window location and media permissions.
Quite a few other fixes, including:
- Sending to contact with no avatar yet (not synced from mobile)
- Left pane doesn't update quickly or at all on new message
- Left pane doesn't show sent or error status
Also:
- Contributing.md: Ensure set of linux dev dependencies is complete
Also:
- New schema version 8 with video/image thumbnails, screenshots, sizes
- Upgrade messages not at current schema version when loading messages
to show in conversation
- New MessageDetail react component
- New ConversationHeader react component
UI now in separate renderer:
- the permissions popup
- settings dialog
- debug log dialog
- about window
Couple bug fixes:
- About Window: Fix 'escape' to close window
- Remove outdated dist/copy tasks from Gruntfile
Eslintified settings_view.js
We missed a couple directories with previous attempts to turn this on
globally: app/ and libtextsecure/
Not to mention files in places we didn't expect: ts files that weren't
in the ts directory!
This turns prettier on for every file we care about (js, ts, tsx, md)
everywhere in the project but for a few key parts.
Using 2 hex characters [0-9a-f] will give us 16 * 16 = 256 root folders which
seems more manageable than 4096 (16^3). Assuming a user has 10,000 attachments,
they should roughly distribute at ~40 per folder with prefix length 2 rather
than ~2.5 per folder with a prefix of 3.
Using hashes, we get the benefit of deduplication but if a user receives two
messages with the same attachment, deleting one would delete it for both since
they are only stored once. To avoid the complexity of tracking number of
references, we simply generate random file names similar to iMessage on MacOS
(?) and Signal Android.
This makes it more consistent with ‘Report an issue’ under View > Debug Log.
Not using ellipsis as menu item doesn’t require user confirmation:

Use ‘Enter name or number’ as prompt’
This follows implementation of Android and recommendation from Alissa.
- A new design for the import flow. It features:
- Icons at the top of every screen
- Gray background, blue buttons, thinner text
- Simpler copy
- A new design for the install flow. It features:
- Immediate entry into the QR code screen
- Animated dots to show that we're loading the QR code from the server
- Fewer screens: 1) QR 2) device name 3) sync-in-progress
- When not set up, the app opens directly into the install screen, which has been streamlined. The `--import` command-line argument will cause the app to open directly into the import flow.
- Support for two different flavors of builds - the normal build will open into the standard registration flow, and the import flavor will be exactly the same except during setup it will open directly into the import flow.
- A new design for the (dev-only) standalone registration view
- When these install sequences are active, the OS File menu has entries to allow you to switch the method of setup you'd like to use. These go away as soon as the first step is taken in any of these flows.
- The device name (chosen on initial setup) is now shown in the settings panel
- At the end of a light import, we hand off to the normal device link screen, starting at the QR code. On a full import, we remove the sensitive encryption information in the export to prevent conflicts on multiple imports.
- `Whisper.Backup.exportToDirectory()` takes an options object so you can tell it to do a light export.
- `Whisper.Backup.importFromDirectory()` takes an options object so you can force it to load only the light components found on disk. It also returns an object so you can tell whether a given import was a full import or light import.
- On start of import, we build a list of all the ids present in the messages, conversations, and groups stores in IndexedDB. This can take some time if a lot of data is in the database already, but it makes the subsequent deduplicated import very fast.
- Disappearing messages are now excluded when exporting
- Remove some TODOs in the tests
