1) ABS is now published as an AAR, so we can eliminate all local
dependencies and bundled jars.
2) Upgrade to ABS 4.4.0 (The Last Release) and deal with the loss
of Sherlock.Dialog by faking it with our own themes.
3) Remove all traces of ant. The modern world is here.
1) Allow imports from the stock SMS database at any time.
2) Provide plaintext export support, in a format compatible with
the "SMS Backup And Restore" app.
3) Fix the DB weirdness on encrypted restore that previously
required killing the app.
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 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) Update the create, prompt, and change passphrase activities.
They are no longer dialog themed, and should look a little
less ugly.
2) Update the import DB activity to be less ugly and more robust.
3) Abstract all of the state handling stuff out of
ConversationListActivity. This is now handled by RoutingActivity,
which all launch intents move through.
1) If a message fails to be delivered, post a notification in the
status bar if that thread is not active and visible.
2) If a message fails to be delivered because there is no service,
keep retrying every time service becomes available again.
1) Add >= ICS profile support (the system-supported "me" contact).
2) Improve <= Gingerbread support for me contact by auto-detecting
contacts that have the same number as the SIM card.
3) Tie in identity key import/export support to the "me" contact.
4) Don't display a "me" selection option in preference if it can
be auto-detected.
5) Refactor out the ContactAccessorNewApi back into the base class.
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) Move to Fragments for the list view.
2) Switch to CursorLoader from my jankey self-managed cursor.
3) Add session security logic to the ActionBar.
4) Fix colors to be less ugly.
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.
1. New look for quick contact badges.
2. No more unread indicator, replace with bolded text.
3. Style message count with color rather than parens.
4. Remove "New Message" item, add as item in action bar instead.
