* Prevent FOUC on startup, use Signal Blue instead
Instead of flashing a white background on startup, the app will show a blue background while everything is loading.
* Make sure tests are rendered on white background
* Use `icon_250.png` as the loading image
* Remove hardcoded 'Loading...' text from template
* Make sidebar non-selectable
* Prevent selection of avatar and context menu text in conversation view
* Make loading view and conversation placeholder view non-selectable
* Make settings view contents non-selectable
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- Remove outdated dist/copy tasks from Gruntfile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.
