- Add archive_ids hash set and stanza_senders hash map to
ff_contact_state_t, populated during index build/extend via
lightweight _ff_cache_line_ids() (no full parse overhead).
- Replace O(n) file scans in _ff_has_archive_id() and
_ff_find_original_sender() with O(1) hash table lookups.
- Replace g_slist_append with g_slist_prepend + g_slist_reverse
in _ff_apply_lmc, _flatfile_get_previous_chat, and
ff_verify_integrity to avoid O(n²) list building.
- Add db_sqlite_last_changes() declaration to database.h.
Export/Import improvements:
- Replace pagination with direct SQL query (db_sqlite_get_all_chat)
- Wrap import in SQL transaction with rollback on error
- Add fsync before fclose in export for data safety
- Sort merged output by timestamp with secondary key (stanza_id, from_jid)
- Export archive_id and marked_read from SQLite (lossless migration)
- Add progress indication every 500 messages during write/import
- Expand dedup key body prefix from 64 to 256 chars
- Fix g_slist_append O(n²) → g_slist_prepend + g_slist_reverse O(n)
Field parity (to_jid, to_resource, marked_read):
- Add fields to ff_parsed_line_t struct
- Write/parse to:|to_res:|read: metadata tags in flatfile format
- Pass to_resource through _ff_add_message and all callers
- Add marked_read to ProfMessage struct with -1 default (unset)
- Preserve fields across export/import round-trips
Tests (19 new: 11 unit + 8 functional):
- Unit: to_jid_and_marked_read, bracket_in_stanza_id, backslash_in_resource,
mucpm_type, all_enc_types, crlf_handling, to_jid_special_chars,
multiple_lines, parsed_line_free_null_safe, no_space_rejected,
unclosed_bracket
- Functional: export_idempotent_no_duplicates, export_lmc_correction_survives,
switch_preserves_old_backend_data, export_all_contacts,
import_double_dedup, verify_after_export,
switch_backends_independent_messages, export_empty_contact
- Rebalance test groups: move Chat Session from Group 3 to Group 4
(25/33/30/27 instead of 25/33/36/21)
- Remove hardcoded test counts from group comments
Man page:
- Document /history switch sqlite|flatfile
DRAFT — not yet tested end-to-end with a live XMPP session.
New commands:
/history export [<jid>] — copy messages from SQLite to flat-file
/history import [<jid>] — copy messages from flat-file to SQLite
Both merge with existing data; duplicates are skipped using stanza-id
or a SHA-256 fallback key (timestamp + sender + body prefix).
Implementation (src/database_export.c):
- Export: paginate SQLite via get_previous_chat, read existing flatfile
for dedup, write merged result via ff_write_line + atomic rename
- Import: parse flatfile lines via ff_parse_line, build dedup set from
SQLite, insert new messages via add_incoming (preserves original
timestamps for both directions)
- List all contacts: db_sqlite_list_contacts() queries UNION of
DISTINCT from_jid/to_jid; flatfile enumerates flatlog directories
Wiring:
- database.h: declare export/import functions + db_sqlite_list_contacts
- database_sqlite.c: add db_sqlite_list_contacts()
- cmd_defs.c: add export/import to /history synopsis and args
- cmd_funcs.c: add export/import handlers in cmd_history()
- cmd_ac.c: add 'export' and 'import' to history_ac
- Makefile.am: add database_export.c to core_sources
- stub_database.c: add stubs for test linking
- profanity.1: document export/import in man page
All code guarded with #ifdef HAVE_SQLITE — builds cleanly without it.
Add pluggable storage backend abstraction (vtable) to the database layer,
allowing selection between SQLite (default) and a new flat-file backend
that stores messages as human-readable plain text files.
New files:
- database_sqlite.c: extracted SQLite backend from database.c
- database_flatfile.c: plain text backend with tolerant parser,
LMC correction chains, UTF-8/BOM/CRLF handling, integrity checks
Commands:
- /privacy logging flatfile — switch to flat-file backend
- /history verify [<jid>] — check integrity of stored history
Fixes:
- Add missing 'off' guard in flatfile backend
- Enable CHLOG/HISTORY prefs when switching to flatfile mode
Logs stored in ~/.local/share/profanity/flatlog/{account}/{contact}/{date}.log
Format: {ISO8601} [{type}|{enc}|id:{id}|corrects:{id}] {sender}: {message}
Updated: CHANGELOG, CONTRIBUTING.md, profrc.example, man page, cmd_defs,
Makefile.am, test stubs, functional test support (PROF_FLATFILE=1)
