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
Build system:
- Add --without-sqlite configure flag (AM_CONDITIONAL BUILD_SQLITE)
- Guard database_sqlite.c with HAVE_SQLITE in Makefile.am, database.c,
database.h and stub_database.c
- Fall back to flatfile when SQLite not compiled in
Security (database_flatfile.c):
- MAM dedup: skip incoming messages with duplicate stanza-id (archive_id)
- LMC sender validation: reject corrections from mismatched JIDs
- Add flock() advisory locking to prevent interleaved writes from
concurrent instances
- Check fprintf return when writing file header
Autocomplete (cmd_ac.c):
- Add 'flatfile' to /privacy logging autocomplete
- Add dedicated /history autocomplete with on/off/verify (was boolean-only)
Code quality:
- Fix fwrite return type: size_t not ssize_t (database_flatfile_parser.c)
- Fix mixed allocators in ff_readline: use malloc() consistently for
overlength-line fallback instead of g_strdup()
- Fix index alignment in _ff_state_extend: use local counter so index
step doesn't depend on total_lines from initial build
Documentation:
- Fix page: correct directory structure (history.log not per-day files)
- Fix page: add aid:{archive_id} to line format example
- Fix page: missing newline before .SH BUGS
Replace per-contact directory structure with a single flat file per contact.
Each file uses pipe-delimited records with a sparse byte-offset index
that is rebuilt on demand and cached in memory.
- Rewrite _ff_write_record / _ff_read_records for single-file format
- Add sparse index (every Nth record) for O(log N) seek on history read
- Cursor-based pagination: _ff_get_previous_chat uses saved byte offset
- LMC corrections applied in-place during read (_ff_apply_lmc)
- Newline escaping (\n) in message bodies for line-based storage
- Simplify verify: parse + timestamp order + LMC reference check
- Update parser helpers for new field layout
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)
