- UI (previously MainUI) is back to being the only component loaded
as Window's child
- UI has the background image previously only for the SignInPage
- If there are no accounts, the UI Loader's initialItem is the
SignInPage
- The SidePane becomes visible when there's >=1 account connected
- Standardized capitalization for variables and file names everywhere in
QML and JS, get rid of mixed camelCase/snakeCase,
use camelCase like everywhere in Qt
- ListModel items are now stored and returned as real QObjects with
PyQt properties and signals.
This makes dynamic property binding a lot easier and eliminates the need
for many hacks.
- New update(), updateOrAppendWhere() methods and roles property
for ListModel
- RoomHeader now properly updates when the room title or topic changes
- Add Backend.pdb(), to make it easier to start the debugger from QML
@futurize() is now called with parentheses and can take a max_instances
int argument. This is used for setTypingState to not have more than one
queued calls per room and True/False state and avoids bombing the server
with old ephemeral events after a network loss and reconnection.
- Move HTTP connect/disconnect logic to networkManager
- If a talk fails due to socket error, HTTP transport error or
nio bad response that might change, retry every 2s until success
- Clean up some leftover debug prints
For any name not found in rooms data, rely on new
nio.HttpClient.get_displayname() function to get and cache it,
e.g. for our own name if no room is joined and past events from users
who left the room.
@futurize now returns PyQtFuture objects, wrapper for the
concurrent.futures.Future objects that can be used from QML,
to ensure name retrieval does not block the GUI.
- Trigger when room is shown if there's not enough messages to fill the
list height
- Trigger whenever user is scrolling before a certain point, instead of
when dragging is released/scrolling stopped and the top edge is hit
- Prevent multiple load requests at same time
- Keep a set of fully loaded rooms, don't request anymore history
if a room is fully loaded
- Take a custom container callable for ListModel __init__ (defaults to
list, must be a MutableSequence)
- Use a Deque for roomEvents, which is much faster for inserting
new items at the beginning.
Qt somehow handles scrolling on new messages on its own when the
ListView direction is bottom to top.
In normal top to bottom, manual scrolling is completly buggy.
