That pull request made qTox crash in a number of ways, with no quick fix
available.
Hopefully there will be a way to fix crash, so that this commit could be
reverted, and fix applied.
user also wants to remove chat history. However confused user may not carefully read message and click "no" because he does
not want to remve contact. However in this case contact is in fact removed but history is preserved. It is also open to
possiblity that key smashing deletes contact by accident. This is very inconvenient because tox ids are long and hard to
memorize. If someone removes contact by accident then he would need to find id of that contact in order to contact him/her.
Sometimes this may be difficult.
New contact removal confirmation dialog prompts use to enter "YES" in the text boxin order to enable "OK" button so removal
can be accepted. It also has checkbox for history removal. Dialog will work with translations. Russian user would need to
enter "Да" in order to accept removal.
The license text was removed from the Advanced section of the settings
menu and placed into its own About section. Users can now also discover
the commit hash of the build they are running through the UI, instead of
having to comb through logs, or use git.
We now use a binary serialized format to save space and allow clean encryption of the user settings.
All the settings can (and should) be edited from the GUI so there is no loss of functionnality.
It can still read the old .ini format, and will seamlessly upgrade to the new format.
Fixes#1810
We can now get the list of video devices with the dshow ffmpeg device
(so, on Windows). Most of this patch is adapted from libavdevice's dshow
private internal interface, which retrieves useful info but is only
designed to log it to stdout. We reimplement that to get an actual list
of devices names/descriptions, that we can then open with ffmpeg the
refular way.
