CHANGELOG

CHANGELOG#

Note

The versions are synchronized between the Docker image versions of the daemon, the Python module olvid-bot and the Docker image bot-python-runner.

The versions follow the following semantics: MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH. All elements are assumed to work together as long as they share the same major and minor version. However, it is recommended to always use the same patch version.

Minor and/or major versions will be incremented at a minimum for each change in the gRPC-Protobuf API.

Latest version: 1.4.1#

Added#

  • Daemon

    • It is now possible to connect to a daemon using an HTTPS connection. The setup is documented here: Configuration SSL.

  • Python Client

    • tools.AutoInvitationBot: it is now possible to choose the types of invitations to accept (group invitation, introduction, …).

Fixes#

  • Daemon

    • TLS: Changed the JVM used in the Docker image. The previous one crashed during the setup of TLS encryption.

    • Miscellaneous fixes

Version: 1.4.0#

New Features#

  • Notification Filtering: It is now possible to use parameters when subscribing to a notification type. In this case, only notifications matching these parameters (filter, counter, etc.) will be sent to the client.

  • Minimalist call management: It is now possible to start calls with one or more contacts or in a discussion. You can als subscribe to events related to this call (someone picked up, someone is already on the phone, etc.)

Added#

  • Daemon

    • Notification Filtering: addition of parameters to all methods of the notification service, including filters and a counter. These parameters are all optional and therefore backward compatible.

    • Minimalist call management: Addition of gRPC services CallCommandService and CallNotificationService

      • commands: CallStartDiscussionCall, CallStartCustomCall

      • notifications: AppelEntrant, AppelSonnerie, AppelAccepte, AppelRefuse, LigneOccupee, AppelTermine.

      • datatypes: Call

  • CLI:

    • addition of the call start command to begin a call using the new calling API (the message voip command is now deprecated).

    • addition of the -i option to the identity get and contact get commands to display the identifier in bytes.

Fixes#

  • Daemon

    • Change in sending notifications

      • ContactNewNotification: is now sent the first time a contact is added (regardless of their one-to-one status). The notification is sent after a secure channel has been established and the contact’s capabilities have been downloaded.

      • DiscussionNewNotification: is always sent when a discussion is created or changes from the Locked to Unlocked status (returning to a group, transitioning a contact to one-to-one).

      • MessageReceivedNotification and AttachmentReceivedNotification: are now sent at the same time, when the message and all attachments have been correctly written to the database. (Resolves issues with listing newly arrived attachments).

      • Various corrections of notifications that could be sent twice

    • datatypes.ReactionFilter: field renamed, reaction becomes has_reaction

  • CLI

    • identity get -l: this command always returned the invitation link of the first identity.

  • Python Client

    • tools.SelfCleaningBot: messages could have been wrongly deleted when the function is_message_for_cleaning was provided.

Version: 1.3.0#

New Features#

It is now possible to send continuous location sharing messages 🗺️!

Added#

  • Daemon

    • Addition of location sharing in the MessageCommand service, with the methods MessageStartLocationSharing, MessageUpdateLocationSharing and MessageEndLocationSharing.

    • Addition of the MessageLocationSent notification in the MessageNotification service to harmonize the API.

    • Modification of the behavior of methods MessageLocationSharingStart, MessageLocationSharingUpdate, and MessageLocationSharingEnd, which are now also emitted for outbound messages.

  • CLI

    • Addition of the message location command group with commands:

      • message location send

      • message location start

      • message location update

      • message location end

    • Addition of the contact reset command (use with caution!) to resolve some blockages involving an identity and its contacts.

    • Addition of the storage reset command to remove all entries from storage (in global storage, and all discussion storages).

Fix#

  • Python Client

    • tools.ChatBot: help messages were sent twice in certain conditions.

    • tools.SelfCleaningBot: all messages were deleted on start when the function is_message_for_cleaning was provided.

Version 1.2.0#

Added#

  • Daemon

    • Addition of the service KeycloakCommand with methods KeycloakUserList and KeycloakAddUserAsContact to list users present on Keycloak and add them as contacts. (⚠️ Requires version 4.1 or higher of the Olvid plugin for Keycloak)

    • Addition of the downloadPhoto command for identities, contacts and groups.

    • Addition of photoUpdated notifications for contacts and groups.

    • Addition of the getBytesIdentifier commands for identities, contacts, groups and conversations. This allows them to be uniquely identified in the long term, even in case of backup restoration.

    • Addition of the getInvitationLink command for identities and contacts (datatypes.Identity.invitation_link is now marked as deprecated).

    • Addition of the fields editedBody and forwarded in the message datatypes.Message

  • Python Client

    • Addition of the class tools.KeycloakAutoInvitationBot to automatically add all new Keycloak users to its contacts.

      • contact kc get/add : KeycloakCommandService

      • identity/contact/group photo save : downloadPhoto

      • identity/contact get -l : getInvitationLink

Fixes#

  • Daemon

    • The fields has_a_photo were not filled in correctly for contacts and groups.

  • CLI

    • storage get -f: the option was not handled properly.

    • olvid-cli -k was displaying an unnecessary error.

    • group get -f: formatting fix.

Version 1.1.0#

Added#

  • Daemon

    • It is now possible to send location messages using the new gRPC method messageSendLocation (implemented in clients and CLI).

Modifications#

  • Python Client:

    • replaced environment variables DAEMON_HOSTNAME and DAEMON_PORT by DAEMON_TARGET.

    • .client_key and .admin_client_key files are deprecated, use a .env file instead.
