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- Remove outdated dist/copy tasks from Gruntfile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
Three locations were changed:
1. a group update, which lists a set of contacts
2. the contact name in the left pane
3. the conversation title
Three new components were added to window.Signal.Components to support
these scenarios, respectively:
1. Emojify
2. ContactName
3. ConversationTitle
Note that there are a number of other places in the app that should be
emojified, but never have been before. Essentially any place that a
contact name might be shown. A non-exhaustive list:
- Show group members
- Show safety number
- Verified change notification
- Disappearing timer change notification
- Contact verification notification
- Quote contact name
- 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
* Add emoji button and popup panel
This integrates a simple third party emoji panel with a few css overrides to
correct some relative paths and colors.
The trickiest thing about this is ensuring we don't break the layout, which is
acheived through precise control over the panel's height, and prodigious calls
to updateMessageFieldSize.
// FREEBIE

where the on-disk directories have this information to make things
human-readable
FREEBIE
* First fully operational single-action export and import!
FREEBIE
* Add migration export flow
A banner alert leads to a blocking ui for the migration. We close the socket and
wait for incoming messages to drain before starting the export.
FREEBIE
* A number of updates for the export flow
1. We don't immediately pop the directory selection dialog box, instead
showing an explicit 'choose directory' button after explaining what is
about to happen
2. We show a 'submit debug log' button on most steps of the process
3. We handle export errors and encourage the user to double-check their
filesystem then submit their log
4. We are resilient to restarts during the process
5. We handle the user cancelling out of the directory selection dialog
differently from other errors.
6. The export process is now serialized: non-messages, then messages.
7. After successful export, show where the data is on disk
FREEBUE

Also the removal of wait(), which wasn't used anywhere.
FREEBIE
* A number of wording updates for the export flow
FREEBIE
* Export complete: put dir on its own line, make text selectable
FREEBIE
A good bit of CSS was required to keep the text color changing along
with the text it is nestled within.
Also: took this opportunity to increase the contrast of the number and
verified section right under the contact name in the group members view.
FREEBIE
Not yet using the new APIs, but ready to. Still to do:
- Send sync messages on trust decisions
- Respond to received trust decision sync messages
- Show trust decisions in the conversation history
- In that rare situation where a sent message ends up with a key error
make it easy to retry the send.
FREEBIE
Also:
- All the necessary wire-up to update things in real time. If you have
a safety number page up via a group member view as well as via a 1:1
conversation with that contact, they'll both be updated as the
underlying model changes. Similarly, the overall group will update
in real-time as members change.
- A bit of special-casing for yourself in a group conversation - you're
shown as 'me' and are not clickable, where normally that would take you
to the Safety Number screen for that contact. You are also not included
in the trust calculations for a given group.
FREEBIE
Note that we're removing position: relative for the contact class, and
there might be some unexpected layout impacts. Thus far I haven't seen
any.
FREEBIE
- Last seen indicator now spans the full conversation, with subtle
shadow highlights above and below
- Scrollbars now overlap the content of the conversation, allowing last
seen indicator to touch the right edge of the window.
- The iOS and Android conversation background is now #eee instead of
white, which meant that the outgoing messages (Android) and incoming
messages (iOS) had to be updated for contrast. They now have white
backgrounds.
- Similarly, the scroll down button needed more contrast, and its
background is now white in light themes.
FREEBIE
Adding the class `.text-security` to the body element will (should) turn
all names, phone numbers, and message bodies into unreadable squares.
Nice to have when you want to screenshot without leaking too much info.
Note that emojis and images are not obscured.
This isn't fully baked or exposed as a feature. You have manually
inspect and tweak the DOM to enable it, but I leave it here for the
benefit of devs and other "frequent flyers" of our issue tracker.
// FREEBIE
Fix some visual bugs occuring at large font size:
* Contact names break onto the next line after their avatars in
message detail screen
* Settings menu font-size failed to scale
* Handle Content overflow in modals.
// FREEBIE
Move the global header inside the left pane only, expand conversation
panels to full bleed, restyle conversation list items and selected state.
// FREEBIE
This flow broke a bit with transition to modal debug log.
Restructure such that the loading class can be applied to an appropriate
element inside the modal. Ensure that the input elements are hidden when
submit is clicked, the result elements are shown when the log upload is
completed.
// FREEBIE
The button for the conversation menu was rendering on top of the global
menu since the global menu was part of a position-fixed element and thus
except from the normal document flow.
// FREEBIE
Remove the 1px gray border around the window. This allows to the window to integrate seamlessly with custom window managers which use the background color for the titlebar.
The file input area has a transparent border. When a file is dragged
above that area, the border turns blue. This helps the user understand
that this is the correct drop-off area.
Messages with images or media were causing the scroll position to jump
around when they loaded, because rendering them changed the height of their
elements from 0 to full-height sometime after they were inserted into
the DOM.
Now when rendering attachments, we wait for them to load so they can
render at full height immediately, then warn our parent message list
before and after a potential height change, so the scroll position can
be saved and reset.
// FREEBIE
Only load the most recent messages when initially rendering a
conversation. Scrolling to the top of a message list loads older
messages.
This required some slight refactoring of how we insert message elements
into the dom. If the message is added to the end of the collection,
append it at the end. Otherwise, assume it is an older message and
prepend it.
When adding elements to the top, reset the scrollPosition to its
previous distance from scrollHeight. This keeps the current set of
elements fixed in the viewport.
