Because we do a number of async checks before allowing the real send to
begin, on a slow matchine or when doing a lot of work (like receiving a
lot of messages) there can be a noticeable delay between hitting Enter
and the clearing of the text in the message box. In fact, newly-typed
text can be added to the previous message if the delay is long enough.
This prevents any interaction with the message box until the send has
either been prevented or has started.
FREEBIE
isVerified and isUntrusted both went to the protocol layer, but were not
prepared for rejected promises resulting from missing records. This
prevented send in large groups where there has never been a message
exchanged with one of the members.
FREEBIE
Not sure exactly how to think about Chrome app lifetimes, so we're
being conservative. We only show the full-application loading screen
once, on first display of the inbox.
FREEBIE
On every click, even when sub-panes were open, we were calling
markRead(), which would save the conversation model with the new
unreadCount. The KeyVerificationPanelView was wired up to the change
event on conversation, so it would render with the results of that
update, then finally the user's intended update.
FREEBIE
Tabbing right after entering the view would cause everythign to go crazy
as focus went back to the pane you were just on. This change both sets
the proper focus on load of that view (on the cancel button) and hides
other panes when they aren't active, only making them visible again when
they are once again the 'top' pane.
FREEBIE
New experience in the Message Detail view when outgoing identity key
errors happen, matching the Android View.
'View' button is only shown on outgoing key errors right now.
When a contact with an outgoing identity key error is clicked, they are
taken to a view like the popup that comes up on Android: an explanation
of what happened and three options: 'Show Safety Number', 'Send Anyway',
and 'Cancel'
Contacts are now sorted alphabetically, with the set of contacts with
errors coming before the rest.
FREEBIE
This can happen with unknown groups, where we don't know the list of
members but we're receiving messages. It's generally not a good
experience, but we shouldn't crash.
FREEBIE
The shield matches the Android app's key change notification, and the
clock icon was easy to do and makes it easier to visually distinguish
those items in the conversation history.
FREEBIE
We also show more errors than we used to in the MessageDetail screen
to help make it clear what is happening, and why the user would need to
re-send.
FREEBIE
It doesn't run today - it depends on RecipientsInputView, which depends
on Backbone.TypeaheadCollection which doesn't currently exist in the
product.
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
Because we only attach AttachmentViews to the DOM when they fire their
'update' event, we were subject to a race condition. If that event fired
after the final Message.render(), then it would be properly attached to
the final DOM node. If it fired early, it would end up missing from
the visible DOM entirely, attached to the old, discarded version of
the message.
This change updates our handling of a second call to loadAttachments().
Instead of bailing out if we've been called before, we attempt to
re-add our child AttachmentViews to the current DOM. But only if the
'update' event has been fired, and if their current parent node is not
what is in the DOM.
FREEBIE
To handle the same 'not quite at the bottom' case that our 30px buffer
gives us for marking messages read, we use the same atBottom() method to
determine whether we should mark everything unread. Saves the effort and
potential missed messages (due to partial pixels, etc.).
FREEBIE
- initialize doesn't need to call update because
MessageView.renderExpiring() calls it immediately
- we don't need the className because that's already present on
the el it attaches to, part of the MessageView's template.
FREEBIE
- Only mark messages read when scrolling if in focus and visible
- Remove last seen indicator when scrolling to the bottom with scroll
down button
- Update last seen indicator when we don't already have one and we're
scrolled up.
FREEBIE
It can be moved if you're not scrolled to the bottom of of the window
or the window doesn't have focus when a new message comes in. Other than
that, it marches up the window until you close and reopen the
conversation, or send a message.
Note that we do NOT mark messages as read if they come in when you are
scrolled up. But we do mark the entire conversation as read if you
switch away from the app and back.
FREEBIE
Re-renders happen when we re-fetch messages from the database, and our
previous technique for loading attachments resulted in a new attachment
view added for every call to render()
This change ensures that a second call to render() does not add any more
attachment views.
FREEBIE
* Remove increment behavior
* Dismiss when new messages arrive but the window is focused
* Update the indicator when window becomes focused.
