This trigger function uses chrome's runtime message passing api, which
traverses between different windows in our runtime, but we only trigger
the updateInbox event from the backgroud page, so we don't need to use
that api, which requires some extra cpu/memory overhead.
// FREEBIE
We're overriding the default with null often enough that we should
just change the default.
Consequently, no more phantom blank conversations with oneself should
appear after receiving a group update. They were being added to the
inbox because they were incorrectly initialized with an active_at value.
Fixes#281
All the old event listeners and in-memory objects have perished with the
old background page. Also reopen the inbox if it was already open.
Fixes#289
// FREEBIE
Protocol and handling is all analogous to contact sync: Multiple
GroupDetails structs are packed into a single attachment blob and parsed
on our end. We don't display the synced groups in the conversation list
until a new message is sent to one of them.
// FREEBIE
Initializing a message receiver opens the socket and starts listening
right away rather than requiring a separate call to connect. The only
other publicly accessible method is to query the socket status.
// FREEBIE
Update protobuf definitions and refactor message receive and decrypt
codepath to support new protocol, including various flavors of sync
messages (sent messages, contacts, and groups).
Also cleans up background.js and lets libtextsecure internalize
textsecure.processDecrypted and ensure that it is called before handing
DataMessages off to the application.
The Envelope structure now has a generic content field and a
legacyMessage field for backwards compatibility. We'll send outgoing
messages as legacy messages, and sync messages as "content" while
continuing to support both legacy and non-legacy messages on the receive
side until old clients have a chance to transition.
If all the application windows are closed (and not merely hidden), the
background page will go inactive and there's nothing we can do to stop
it. However, we can ask chrome to trigger an alarm once per minute,
which will spin up the background page and check for new messages.
This will effectively keep us alive as long as chrome has open windows
or is running in the background, subject to chrome settings'

In a multi device world, it's possible to receive a receipt for a sync
message before the sync message actually arrives. In this case we need
to keep the receipt around and the process it when the message shows up.
Appify tabs, windows, browserAction
Port the extension.windows.focus function to new window api and
generalize its error handling in the case where the requested window
does not exist. An error will be passed to the callback.
Port extension.browserAction and rename it to the more generic
extension.onLaunched.
Use of the id option when opening a window ensures that attempting to
open a duplicate window merely focuses the existing window.
Finally, after registration, close the options window and open the
inbox.
Port extension.remove
Add window.storage to the background page, which loads all data from the
'items' store in indexeddb, caching them in memory for synchronous
access, then override textsecure storage to use that in memory store.
Encapsulate the websocket resources and socket setup process in a
friendly OO class. The MessageReceiver constructor expects an instance
of EventTarget on which to fire message events asynchronously. The
provider of the EventTarget can then add/remove listeners as desired.
This reverts commit 31e7d285e3.
This seemed like a nice feature, but the popup bubble isn't very
conducive to nontrivial user inputs, e.g. file inputs.
Fixes#211
Ensure that both tryAgain functions return promises, allowing the
application to take appropriate action in the result of success or
failure. This lets us remove all dependency from libtextsecure on
app-level constructs like message objects/ids and the `extenion.trigger`
function.
Corresponding frontend changes to follow in another commit.
Rather than opening the inbox in its own window, let it appear as a
browser action popup by default, but allow promotion to its own window
if requested.
Update unreadCounts per-conversation on incoming messages. Render unread
conversations with font-weigh: bold in the inbox view.
To ensure that the inbox and conversation views remain in sync, the
background page now ensures that the same models objects are used for
both views.
Closes#173
Previously, in the event of a failed websocket auth, we would attempt to
reconnect once a second ad infinitum. This changeset ensures that we
only reconnect automatically if the socket closed 'normally' as
indicated by the code on the socket's CloseEvent. Otherwise, show a
'Websocket closed' error on the inbox view.
Ideally we would show a more contextual error (ie, 'Unauthorized'), but
unfortunately the actual server response code is not available to our
code. It can be observed in the console output from the background page,
but programmatically, we only receive the WebSocket CloseEvent codes
listed here:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/CloseEvent#Status_codes
The websocket error message is displayed by a normally-hidden but ever
present socket status element. Clicking this element will immediately
refresh the background page, which will try again to open the websocket
connection.
Previously the conversation window would query the background page
for a model id and then fetch the conversation. Instead, we can fetch
the conversation before opening the window, which simplifies the front
end scripts and avoids creating multiple copies of the same model.
Unless the background page fetches the latest details of a conversation
before updating it, it may clobber or nullify some attributes e.g., the
contact's name.
When a new message arrives, if its conversation is not already opened,
the background page opens it. If it is alrady open the window is
focused. Finally, the 'message' event is triggered, resulting in
1. the inbox refetches conversations
2. all conversations fetch new messages
