• Updated to GRDB 7.3.0 (from 6.29.3)
• Updated the ConfigMessageReceiveJob and MessageReceiveJob to use the `writeAsync` function (instead of the blocking `write` function) so that they aren't subject to the `Storage.transactionDeadlockTimeoutSeconds`
• Refactored the `Storage.performOperation` and `Storage.performPublisherOperation` to rely on the new cancellable async/await `Task` logic that GRDB 7 supports (as apparently the other async methods don't support cancellation...)
• Cleaned up some "Sendable" related warnings
• Minor tweaks to `Log.assertOnMainThread` to make it a little more readable
• Refactored the remaining `SNLog` calls
• Added support for a 'customSuffix' to the log categories (similar to the 'customPrefix' it allows category name manipulation whilst keeping the existing log level settings)
• Improved logging in the PN extension
• Fixed an issue where the PN extension would end up with duplicate logs every time a new PN was received
• Fixed an issue where the PN extension would needlessly dispatch it's setup to the main thread
• Fixed an issue where the PN extension would try to read from the database after suspending it
• Fixed an issue where the PN extension could try to complete on a non-main thread (eg. db threads) which _might_ cause odd behaviours
• Added a 'requireAllRequestsSucceed' flag to the ConfigurationSyncJob (so it'll report a failure if any individual request fails)
• Fixed an issue where a number of 'response' types weren't encoding correctly (only impacted unit tests)
• Fixed an issue where the logger wasn't correctly respecting the log level settings
• Fixed an issue where the path status indicator wouldn't default to unknown
• Fixed an issue where the generic database error didn't replace the 'app_name' variable
• Fixed an issue where notification content might not be shown correctly
• Fixed an issue where a group could be partially created due to one of it's configs failing to be stored (we now consider that a failure so the user can try again)
• Fixed an issue where processing a config message in the BackgroundPoller could result in attempting to fetch from communities after the process completed
• Fixed a crash where a database query could incorrectly be interrupted after it completed if both happened at just the right time
• Fixed broken unit tests
• Updated the string linter logic to error when incorrect parameter names are given (or missed)
• Updated the code based on the latest string changes
• Fixed an issue where the string linter wasn't working
• Updated to the latest libSession
• Fixed some warnings
• Fixed a compilation issue on non-debug builds
• Fixed an issue with the dev settings data importer when ignoring hidden files from old exports (wouldn't move the inputStream forward correctly resulting in a crash)
• Fixed an issue where the swarm poller wasn't included synchronously processed messages in it's publisher output
• Refactored the 'performOperation' function to have cleaner control flow and resolve another EXC_BAD_ACCESS edge case
• Updated the code to allow legacy groups to be unpinned after they are deprecated
• Fixed an issue where the default state of the global search screen wouldn't be populated if you had a contact with no SessionThread record
• Fixed an issue with display picture placeholder generation
• Fixed an issue where the edit group screen would show the group display picture back to front
• Added the "expired group" banner for when the first poll of an updated group doesn't retrieve config messages
• Removed a redundant base64 encode/decode
• Removed messy extra message validation function
• Fixed an edge-case where a member granted supplemental access to the group could end up incorrectly kicked under the right conditions
• Fixed an issue where the copy for deleting a deprecated legacy group wasn't accurate
• Added a 'forceSlowDatabaseQueries' dev setting to help track down main thread database queries
• Updated the unit tests to use a NoopNetworkCache by default when running unit tests
• Updated the custom debug sync query timer to poll more frequently for the first few iterations
• Fixed the broken unit tests
• Fixed the bad memory issue again (wasn't properly fixed...)
• Fixed an issue where the keyboard wouldn't reappear after deleting a message
• Fixed an issue where the toast shown after deleting a message could do a weird appearance animation
• Fixed an issue where legacy group invites were incorrectly still being handled once legacy groups were deprecated
• Fixed an issue where control messages could incorrectly leave a deletion artifact when triggering "delete before now"
• Fixed an issue where the typing indicator logic could run on the main thread (was also overly complex)
• Fixed an issue where we were clearing the incoming typing indicator too quickly (5s vs 15s like other platforms)
• Fixed an issue where the GroupPoller could incorrectly wait for longer than it should between polls if a message was deleted (there will be a better approach we should use in the future when we have an `active_at` flag for the conversation)
• Added code to schedule any missing recurring jobs (so we no longer need to worry that the jobs have been lost or the migrations that added them ran correctly in their final state)
• Added the 'FailedGroupInvitesAndPromotionsJob' to flag invites/promotions which weren't sent before the app closed as failed
• Updated to the latest libweb
• Updated to the latest libSession
• Updated the config sync job to delay marking itself as failed if the network is not connected (it'll now observer the network status and trigger the failure callback when reconnected, which will result in another sync attempt shortly after - this will prevent a disabled network from building up the failure count excessively causing sync delays)
• Fixed a bad memory race condition which could occur with the new `Storage.performOperation` logic
• Updated the SyncPushTokensJob to wait for a bit for paths to build before failing
• Updated the PushNotification service to be selectable via the dev settings
• Updated the database timeout code to be a little more developer friendly
• Updated the code to stop blocked contacts from appearing in the main conversation list
• Removed the invalid "push-testnet" push server
• Removed the logic to configure the APNS push service based on the service network (was incorrect)
• Removed the 'Int' raw type constraint for the 'FeatureOption'
• Fixed an issue where the initial conversation query for groups would fail due to an invalid join
• Fixed an issue where the initial conversation query wouldn't include the 'markedUnread' flag (meaning the conversation wouldn't correctly get marked as read)
• Fixed a rare bad memory crash
• Fixed an issue where the modal wouldn't be dismissed after updating the group display name
• Fixed an issue where the "Recreate Group" button was the wrong height
• Minor tweak to config load order
• Pulled across reentrancy PR fixes
• Fixed an issue where some UI changes were occurring on background threads (causing crashes)
• Fixed an issue where editing a group name/description was performing a blocking action but not showing a loading indicator
• Fixed an issue where the group display picture modal would have it's "save" button enabled even when the picture hadn't been changed
• Reworked synchronous database access to prevent reentrancy issues
• Updated the JobExecuter to take a "Scheduler" rather than a "DispatchQueue" (allows for a potentially refactor to use "OperationQueue" instead if we want more fine-tuned control over the number of concurrent executions which can occur)
• Reworked the database rentrancy fixes
• Added a timeout to prevent deadlocks with our custom synchronous database actions
• Fixed a case where we were incorrectly accessing the database in a reentrant way
• Added a 2000 limit to the input field
• Added an error when opening the share extension before completing onboarding
• Updated the code to treat an empty `adminSignature` as null (in case a client sends it incorrectly)
• Updated the code to include updated group control messages when determining unread
• Updated code to perform a supplemental key rotation (if needed) when resending invites to members flagged as supplemental (to handle a case where the initial invite request failed)
• Updated the code to schedule group config update control messages when making the local changes but make their sending contingent on the next config sync succeeding
• Updated the code to only enable the Share and Notification extensions once the onboarding process has been completed
• Updated the code to always enqueue config syncs for all configs on launch (if there are no pending changes then it won't do anything, but if there are then this will increase the likelihood that they will be synced)
• Fixed an issue where the default contacts query was based on thread records instead of contact records
• Fixed an issue where creating a conversation by tapping on a group member or avatar wasn't correctly creating the conversation in the draft state
• Fixed an issue where incoming messages could be added to the "Note to Self" conversation if the "syncTarget" was incorrectly set on them
• Fixed a crash due to our ThreadSafe code using a struct instead of a class (rendering it non thread safe)
• Fixed a crash which could occur on the home screen if the data loaded before the UI finished loading
• (Hopefully) Fixed a crash which could occur when the OS optimised async execution to run immediately within an existing database transaction (potentially resulting in re-entrant database access)
• Fixed an issue where the database read/write publishers weren't checking for a valid database state before actual query execution (only during the creation of the stream)
• Added a loading indicator while config syncing is happening while sending group invitations/promotions
• Added a mechanism to trigger a libSession config change but prevent the change from enqueuing a config sync (so we can do a blocking sync)
• Fixed a couple of bugs where the disappearing message control messages could behave incorrectly in updated groups
• Fixed an issue where deleting a message which was quoted by another message wouldn't remove the quoted content until returning to the screen
• Fixed an issue where a leaving member could appear to be removed before they were actually removed
• Fixed an issue where a group member wouldn't return to the "sending" state when resending an invitation
• Fixed an issue where the current user could see group admins actions before they had been flagged as an accepted admin
• Added the dev settings UI
• Added export and import functionality (import is unfinished)
• Updated the export logs to allow for either sharing or saving direct to files
• Added new 'LintControl' mechanisms to allow for ignoring sections of code
• Added new 'MatchType' mechanisms for excluding unlocalized cases
• Updated the code to explicitly handle localized template strings (both single and multiline)
• Updated the code to process files across multiple threads to improve performance
• Updated the code to use Swift 5.7 regex and store in static variables to prevent reconstruction every time they are used
• Removed the list of individual files which are ignored (now just output a count)
• Fixed an issue where having a localized string on a subsequent line could result in an unlocalized (or incorrectly localized) string not being detected
• Fixed an issue where having multiple strings on a single line could result in an unlocalized string not being detected
• Fixed an issue where zero-width characters would result in the variable count comparison between translations failing
• Fixed a number of localization warnings
• Fixed a bug where the libSession logs wouldn't all come through correctly
• Added logic to handle response headers from libSession
• Minor optimisation to closed groups poller setup
• Minor logging tweaks
• Reworked the NotificationServiceExtension to just always reset and reload it's state to avoid weird bugs
• Updated the legacy group messages to fallback to using a locally generated serverHash if one isn't provided (always happens for legacy PNs)
• Include error info when failing to process extension logs
• Made a bunch of the Storage functions instance functions instead of static functions
• Fixed an issue where the background task to finish sending messages may not have sent the sync message or the main message after and upload
• Fixed an issue where the SessionBackgroundTask was incorrectly reporting a failure to be created
• Fixed an incorrect modal action colour
• Fixed a crash when creating legacy groups
• Updated the code so that we take charge of resolving the deadlock issue instead of relying on GRDB to do it
• Updated the logic to timeout the SessionBackgroundTask with 5 seconds of background time remaining (to ensure we have enough time to suspend the network & database)
