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)
Per XEP-0030 section 3.1: 'if an entity has no associated items,
it MUST return an empty <query/> element.'
The client should display 'No service discovery items for X' when
receiving an empty result, not silently ignore it.
Previous version introduced in commit f28655c5c (2016-05-08) which added an early
return when child == NULL, preventing the message from being shown.
The /connect command can take: account + server <s> + port <p> + tls <t> + auth <a>
which totals 9 arguments, not 7. This fixes argument parsing for full command usage.
- Track unread message indicators and paging state in the window component
- Clear and restore unread markers correctly when navigating between conversations
- Suppress buffer updates and message printing while viewing history to prevent
unwanted scroll jumps and viewport lock
Also includes minor code-style, whitespace, and comment cleanups as well as
updated documentation for metrics and buffer handling.
Add debug output tracking connection lifecycle.
- Track disconnects and reconnects
- Record session login, logout, and reconnection attempts
- Use [CONNDBG] tag for easy log filtering
Add prof_get_current_window API to retrieve the title of the currently active window, matching the titlebar display.
The feature is especially useful to track currently used plugin window.
Remove autodisable logic (prefs_set_autoping(0)) and early return in autoping
to treat intermittent false negatives from connection_supports(XMPP_FEATURE_PING).
Add one-time error display with debug features print for monitoring; warn on first failing
check without aborting to maintain functionality while investigating root cause.
Prior commit (6ad8a190) did not properly handle overflow by long (9000 lines) message,
to address this issue, multiple changes were made:
- Add lines recalculation on win_redraw
- Move `prof_buff_t` struct to header file so its lines could be externally changed
- Call win_redraw once overflow is detected: it allows to recalculate sizes in lines and apply changes to the buffer
Refactor buffer trimming logic to use dynamic line counts (_lines per entry)
against PAD_SIZE (10k) instead of fixed entry count (MAX_BUFFER_SIZE=200). This
prevents premature cleanups for short messages, reduces scrolling disruptions
during history loads, and scales better with rendered content size.
Delete oldest/newest entry from opposite end only when total lines approach
ncurses pad limit, minimizing unnecessary deletions.
Simplify overflow warning log by removing unused MAX_BUFFER_SIZE reference.
Update buffer.c header for improved DX:
- Add detailed module overview explaining role (in-memory UI buffer vs. DB
persistence), key features (trimming, metadata), and integration (ncurses).
- Shorten copyright/license boilerplate to concise pointer (LICENSE ref).
- Add fork notice; preserve original copyrights per GPLv3.
Partially addresses #36 (stuck scroll mitigation via fewer cleanups)

`memchr()` requires the complete memory that shall be searched to be
accessible. Using `strchr()` could work for shorter strings, but we only
want to search in the first 4 chars.
Instead of somehow working around those limitations, simply search manually
in the first 4 bytes.

Implement /force-encryption command to configure forced encryption
settings with on|off and policy resend-to-confirm|block options.
The changes enhance user experience by clarifying encryption requirements
and providing actionable commands. Users can now press Enter again to
confirm unencrypted messages in resend-to-confirm mode.
The synchronous `get_message_from_editor` blocked the main loop (`prof_run`) while launching an external editor like `vim`, halting network I/O in `session_process_events` and preventing incoming message reception.
Introduced `get_message_from_editor_async` for `cmd_editor` to run the editor asynchronously. It forks and execs the editor in a thread (`editor_thread`), suspending NCurses to free the terminal. The main loop skips `inp_readline` and `ui_update` via a new `background_mode` flag while the editor runs, allowing `session_process_events` to keep the connection alive.
On editor completion, `editor_process` (called per loop iteration) resumes NCurses with `ui_resize`, inserts the result into the readline buffer and clears `background_mode`.
Retained synchronous `get_message_from_editor` for ~20 existing code paths (e.g., `vcard_nickname`) to avoid breaking them.
Tested with `vim` and `nano`: confirms no rendering conflicts, messages received during editing, and seamless resume. Edge cases like editor crashes handled via error logging and seamless resume.
Previously, features like `XMPP_FEATURE_OMEMO_DEVICELIST_NOTIFY` were
added in separate init methods (e.g., `omemo_devicelist_subscribe`) via
`caps_add_feature`, triggering `cl_ev_presence_send` and sending multiple
"online" XMPP presence stanzas. This caused other clients to see users
as appearing "online" multiple times.
This change adds `STANZA_NS_MOOD_NOTIFY` and
`XMPP_FEATURE_OMEMO_DEVICELIST_NOTIFY` in `caps_init`, ensuring they are
in `prof_features` early. This allows `caps_add_feature` to exit early
when called for these features, avoiding redundant presence updates.
When paging down beyond the visible chat buffer, the scroll position could
jump unexpectedly. This occurred because the visual distance from the bottom
(e.g. 6 lines until the last message) wasn’t preserved after loading new
messages from the DB.
This patch fixes that by capturing the visual offset (`current_offset`) before
the DB fetch and reapplying it after, based on the y-position of the final
buffer entry. This ensures consistent and smooth scroll transitions, even
as message heights vary.
In addition to fixing the visual glitch, this commit introduces a targeted
performance optimization: once the bottom of the chat has been reached
(`WIN_SCROLL_REACHED_BOTTOM`), we skip expensive operations entirely —
including datetime lookups and entry formatting — during further page_down
events. This reduces performance stalls
during rapid paging (e.g. holding the Page Down key at the bottom of the scrolling area).
This update also adapts to the recent change in `chatwin_db_history()`,
which now returns a `db_history_result_t` instead of `gboolean`, allowing
correct differentiation between an empty result and an actual DB error.
Together, these changes:
- Fix a scroll-jump bug in `page_down`
- Improve performance and responsiveness during rapid navigation
- Align with improved DB result handling
The function did not decref the Python object on type error paths,
resulting in a reference count leak. This caused memory to accumulate
over time. Added Py_XDECREF on all early return paths to properly free
the Python object reference and prevent leaks.
- Introduce static helper `_truncate_datetime_suffix()` to safely trim datetime strings, removing unwanted suffixes like timezone offsets
- Replace manual string management with auto_gchar and g_strdup for safer, clearer ownership and to prevent leaks
- Add safety checks and logging warnings for unexpected datetime string lengths or null pointers
- Refactor _mam_rsm_id_handler to use the helper function and updated string handling
- Change log_database_get_previous_chat parameters for consistent ownership semantics, avoiding double frees and mem leaks
- Overall improve stability and prevent memory leaks during log database queries
This commit refines the existing logic in win_page_up() by:
- Improving comments to clearly explain the rationale behind adjusting
the scroll offset relative to the first buffer entry’s visual position,
helping future maintainers understand why this is necessary.
- Fixing offset recalculation to better handle cases where older messages
with variable heights are loaded from the DB, improving scroll smoothness.
- Changing the logging of negative *page_start values from warning to debug,
recognizing that this can be a normal scenario when insufficient history is loaded.
- Simplifying some conditionals and renaming variables for clearer intent.
No changes yet applied to win_page_down(), but similar improvements could
be considered in the future.
Overall, this enhances the robustness and user experience of scrolling up
in chat windows, while preserving existing functional logic.
f27fa98 commit introduced issue of scrolling seemingly randomly being stuck and the following message flood in the logs: "WRN: Ncurses Overflow..."
A pad is an off-screen buffer — larger than the visible terminal screen — that you can scroll, render parts of, or update selectively.
Unlike regular windows, a pad is not tied to screen size. You can create a pad that's 1,000 lines tall, even if your terminal is only 40 lines tall.
This commit addresses the issue by increasing PAD_SIZE to a reasonable number,
allowing messages from buffer to be displayed without overflowing NCurses' window size (maxy).
Minor change: add .cache folder to gitignore
Improves code robustness by calling _theme_close() in theme_init() when the
theme was already initialized, preventing potential memory leaks or
inconsistent state.
Closes#4
Simple `ui_resize` is sufficient for rerendering all the elements.
Other calls create complexity, slow down the applications and even introduce mem leaks.
`ui_resize` technique is already used widely, including `cmd_editor` case.

Use this property and create the lists when modifying the hashtable.
The `keys` list is most of the time used sorted, so sort it immediately. In
the cases where it was not used sorted, it does not matter.
This started off by looking into whether this can be improved.
`g_hash_table_foreach()` is discouraged to be used and proposes to use
a `GHashTableIter`. Since our lists are not modified very often it does not
really make sense, so I decided to keep using lists, but allocating
those lists statically instead of per invocation.
Instead of using a list, we could maybe use the `GArray` version, but
I am not sure whether it wouldn't be even better to replace the
`GHashTable` all along to store the `windows` instead.
