• 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
• 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)
• Refactored the 'RecipientState' type to just be columns on the 'Interaction' table
• Added some syntactic sugar to clean up the 'CallbackWrapper' boilerplate within the LibSession+Networking code
• Fixed an issue where sending a message into a group where you are the only member would result in the message permanently being in the sending state
• Fixed an issue when initially setting up the interaction database structure where the community whisper mechanism needed another column
• Fixed a bug where the MessageSendJob wouldn't time out during path building
• Fixed a bug where the MessageSendJob wouldn't retry 8 times before detecting a timeout (meaning it would retry up to 80 times in total before permanently failing)
• 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
There were a few logs related to bad memory access within libSession and the `toLibSession` convention which we'd originally setup made me nervous as C-friendly objects would be allocated in Swift and then assigned to C struct properties but I'm not sure how the memory would actually behave in this case.
This updated approach unfortunately involves a bunch of duplicate code within 'TypeConversion+Utilities' (and some horrible type aliases for tuples) but as a result we now have compile-time safe 'get' and 'set' functions for any C struct which conforms to `CAccessible` and `CMutable`. The other nice benefit about this change is that the new `set` functions copy memory across into the C structs so we can have more confidence that the memory ownership has shifted to the libSession side of things.

• Tweaked the "nodeNotFound" error to be a bit more human readable
• Tweaked the BackgroundPoller timeout to have a 5 second buffer instead of a 1 second buffer

• Fixed a couple of libSession networking bugs
• Tweaked some logging
• Removed some legacy code
• Fixed an issue where the BackgroundPoller would fail if a single destination failed
- This would suspend the network, then the other pending requests would error and automatically retry, attempting to create a new connection which could loop a number of times rapidly since the network was suspended

• Updated the 'App Store Release' scheme to 'App_Store_Release' to fix build issues on some machines
• Fixed some broken unit tests
• Updated the code to stop sending legacy PNs outside of legacy group conversations
• Updated the logger logic to clean things up and use the local date/time (with time zone info) to ease debugging user reports
• Fixed an issue where messages in a community could incorrectly accept disappearing message settings
• Fixed an issue where duplicate messages could be sent in some cases
• Fixed an issue where the conversation might not scroll to the bottom after sending an attachment
• Fixed an issue where attachment encryption was happening in a db write thread
• Fixed a rare crash which could occur when receiving a network response
• Updated to the latest libSession (contains some libQuic fixes)
• Bumped version number
• Reworked some of the C API conversions to try to prevent invalid cases
• Tweaked the threading around libSession networking callbacks to minimise Swift code blocking libSession threads
• More logging tweaks
• Fixed an issue where voice messages wouldn't stop playing when deleting a message or leaving a conversation
• Fixed an issue where the notification extension was handling errors and finishing while within a database transaction
• Fixed an issue where the ShareExtension may not have been able to send LinkPreviews
• Fixed an issue where displaying or logging the paths weren't maintaining the correct order
• Tweaked some of the logging behaviours
• Updated to the latest libSession
• Updated the code to use the new logger
• Fixed a bug in the build script where changes to external libSession dependencies wouldn't result in a rebuild
• Fixed a bad memory crash which could occur when returning from the background
• Fixed an issue where config messages were incorrectly getting double wrapped in protobuf wrappers
• Removed the 'runOnceTransient' behaviour (no longer have jobs that run before the user exists)
• Removed the session id from the message snippet in the conversation list
• Fixed an issue where the SyncPushTokensJob might not run because the paths hadn't been built yet
• Moved the snode cache and path building into libSession (deleted associated logic)
• Moved reachability detection into libSession (remove Reachability dependency)
• Fixed a couple of crashes with using libQuic requests
• Fixed a bug where the MessageRequestFooterView would show buttons on outgoing message requests
• Reworked the keyboard avoidance in ConversationVC to fix some bugs and simplify the behaviour
• Moved the message request footer UI into it's own view
• Fixed an issue where paths wouldn't get built for a new isntall
• Fixed an issue where a couple of LibSession+Networking errors weren't getting logged correctly
• Fixed a log that could be thrown incorrect for a unique constraint failure
• Fixed an annoying startup warning due to thread priorities
• Moved the 'getSwarm' behaviour into a distinct job to prevent duplicate API calls
• Updated to the latest libSession (fix libQuic crash)
• Updated the JobRunner to support the `runOnceTransient` behaviour and be able to run transient jobs in the app extensions
• Reworked the extension file logging to be written directly to the file in a single operation rather than line-by-line via the logger
• Fixed a bug where community invites has the wrong author
• Fixed a bug where the title on the disappearing messages settings screen was clipping vertically
• Fixed a bug where tapping on the disappearing messages setting subtitle could incorrectly appear in read-only state for admins
• Fixed a log which contained notification content
• Tweaks to extension logging logic
• Moved the build paths logic into the BuildPathsJob to allow for better deduping
• Updated the notification and share extensions to generate log files and append to the bottom of the app log file
• Fixed an issue where the DisappearingMessagesJob was getting run for every individual message process instead of just once after processing all messages from a poll
• Tweaked the polling logic to split the user, groups and community pollers into separate queues
• Tweaked the logic to restart the open group poller immediately after joining a community (to avoid an edge-case where there could be a long delay before the initial poll is made)

• Cleaned up some warnings
• Updated the app versioning to be at the project level instead of target level
