- New ListItem implemented using a metaclass, which makes defining new
ListItem subclasses much cleaner and shorter
- ListModel functions taking an index now accept either an int
(list index) or str (value of a main key)
- getWhere() gone, simply use get(a_main_key_value) now
- updateOrAppendWhere replaced by update()/upsert()
- 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
- 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
