• 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
• Attempt to fix an issue where the CI couldn't find a test simulator because it didn't exist (now try to grab the latest)
• Refactored the notification service extension logging to be more helpful and allow for better tracking
• Fixed a minor layout issue on devices with a home button
• Fixed an issue where display pictures could be given the wrong file extension because we were assuming jpeg
• Fixed an issue where disabling the "Auto dark-mode" setting may not correctly trigger a theme update
• Fixed an issue where returning to the settings screen from a child screen would result in the screen jumping
• Fixed an issue where migrating the community display picture would fail
• Fixed an issue where failing to decrypt a config message push notification would incorrectly result in the fallback notification being shown
• 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 the code to set and check the 'sigTimestamp' value in order to validate the envelope.timestamp when possible
• Disabled the delete/select buttons on the attachment screens in legacy groups once deprecated
• Disabled the ability to remove reactions from the reaction list in legacy groups once deprecated
• Fixed an issue where the "expired groups" banner could incorrectly appear after creating a new group
• Fixed an issue where the ConfigSyncJob wouldn't report it's failure immediately
• 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
• Removed the blocking loading indicators from a number of group actions
• Refactored the group promotions failure toast logic to match the invites failure toast logic
• Updated the actions which are allowed on messages in legacy groups once deprecated
• Updated to the latest libSession (minor PR feedback tweaks)
• Fixed a few build warnings
• Fixed a layout issue on the All Media screen
• Fixed an issue where the keyboard avoidance wouldn't be updated on the conversation screen if you went to a child screen and returned

• 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
• Added some localised copy
• Added the helpdesk article URL for the deprecated groups banner
• Updated mentions to include the current user in groups, 1-1 and NTS conversations (also made the current user appear as "you")

• Updated the resend invite functionality to have a blocking loading indicator as well
• Refactored some closure-based logic for display picture uploads to use Combine instead
• Refactored the SnodeReceivedMessageInfo (with a migration) so it's no longer using a weird constructed key (now have individual queryable columns for the values)
• 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 unit test to validate the GroupMember sorting continues to work as expected
• Updated the AppSetup process to be simpler (no need to check if it had previously run anymore)
• Removed some state management code from the NotificationServiceExtension (no longer needed now that state is properly managed via the Dependencies)
• Fixed an issue where if you had updated another client, gotten updated groups in your config, and then update the iOS client then it wouldn't create the updated groups until a UserGroups config change occurred
• Fixed a bug where we would incorrectly try to retrieve the disappearing messages settings for V2 Groups from the UserGroups config instead of the GroupInfo one
• Fixed an issue where the updated groups poller might not get started correctly in some cases
• Fixed an issue where we could incorrectly add a "you were invited..." control message on linked devices when creating an updated group
• Fixed an issue where the "open url" modal wouldn't be dismissed when copying the url
• Fixed an issue where reactions could appear on locally deleted community messages
• Fixed an issue where the "Note to Self" conversation could be mislabelled in the share extension

• Updated to the latest Lucide version
• Updated the bin icons to use the new Lucide icon
• Fixed an issue where flagging a members messages to be deleted when kicking them wasn't using the standard message removal process
• Fixed an issue where you couldn't delete a group after it was destroyed
• Fixed an issue where being promoted to admin would fail because you weren't already an admin
• Fixed an issue where the share extension wasn't populating it's conversation list
• Fixed an issue where the share extension had a translucent header
• Fixed an issue where messages could incorrectly be considered disappearing messages (with no duration)
• Fixed an issue where non-admins couldn't locally delete messages in community conversations
• Fixed an issue where deleting Note to Self messages for all devices was incorrectly leaving an artifact
• Fixed an issue where emoji reacts added to messages which have been deleted locally would still get added to the deleted artifact
• Fixed a layout issue in groups/communities with the "this message was deleted" artifact
• Fixed an issue where highlighting and unhighlighting a "danger" action in the context menu would result in it changing to a non-danger colour
• Fixed an issue where the community poller always thought it was the initial poll
• 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

• Updated to latest libSession (includes group status changes and breaking GroupKeys change)
• Fixed an issue where starting a new conversation on a new account could result in being kicked out of the conversation after a couple of seconds
• Fixed an issue where blocking a group invite would result in the senders contact conversation reverting to a message request
• Fixed an issue where deleting all attachments before now wouldn't leave behind the "message was deleted" artifact
• Fixed an issue where deleting all attachments before now was incorrectly deleting voice messages
• Fixed an issue where deleting all attachments before now wasn't deleting quote thumbnails
• Fixed an issue where you could never delete a group after being kicked
• Fixed an issue where some updated group control messages would be dropped by linked devices
• Renamed the remaining 'calledFromConfig' params to be a bit more descriptive of what they actually do
• Removed all the 'calledFromConfig' values
The `calledFromConfig` was previously needed to help prevent reentrant libSession access but that is now supported. This now means that a config change could trigger a database update which subsequently triggers a config change but libSession has a built in diff system which will prevent this resulting in an infinite update loop
If we do end up in a situation that this update loop results in a config change (which would then get synced) it's likely a bug in iOS which would be hard to track down as it would result from a specific database change (ie. this will hopefully make it easier to resolve inconsistent libSession integrations)
• Updated the SessionCallManager to be an updated singleton type (cleaned up more in Groups Rebuild)
• Updated the PushRegistrationManager to be an updated singleton type (cleaned up more in Groups Rebuild)
• Injected dependencies correctly in a bunch of places
• 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 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 some incorrect copy
• Fixed a bug where being the only member in a group would result in messages always having the "sending" status
• Fixed a bug where accepting a group invitation on a linked device wouldn't start the poller on the current device
• Fixed a bug where there could be a duplicate 'you were invited to join the group' info message after accepting the group invite
• Fixed a bug where the failed invitation toast could appear multiple times
• Fixed a bug where the legacy groups banner was appearing for non-admins (apparently it shouldn't be)

• Hardcoded a bunch of future groups functionality strings (so at least there is something for testing)
• Updated the 'performAndPushChange' function to be on the LibSessionCacheType so it can be mocked
• Updated the Mock logic to support specifying a dynamic return value via a closure
• Tweaked some variable naming to remove ambiguity
• 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 creating a legacy group could be blocked by the legacy PN subscription failing (was part of the synchronous request)
• Fixed an issue where the code would incorrectly use profile data from incoming messages sent from the current user to update it's profile info
• Fixed an issue where saving media would fail silently if the user had rejected the OS permission
• Refactored a little code around profile changes to make things more readable
