Profile is required to load personal settings, and Profile was creating the
bootstraplist using personal settings. Instead create the bootstraplist in
initCore, after personal settings have been loaded. This avoids using an
uninitialized proxy type on every profile load.
- Seed random in Core Thread. Core Thread didn't seed random, resulting
in always using the same bootstrap nodes, even when you restart qTox
or change profiles.
- Use QDateTime::currentMSecsSinceEpoch() for seeding random. It
provides a bigger range of numbers than QTime::currentTime().msec()
does, and the latter somehow managed to result in approximately the
same first random number being generated, within a certain range.
- Use something a it more sensible than a mod operation to bound random
numbers within a range. It's not perfect either, but a lot better.
Using mod on random skews its distribution too much.
- Use QRandomGenerator's bounded() function to generate random values
within a range.
- Enable QRandomGenerator's usage starting with Qt 5.10.0.
QRandomGenerator is present since Qt 5.10.0, not 5.15.0.
- Bootstrap off every 5th node instead of two consecutive nodes. It's
likely that two consecutive nodes will have the same owner, which
makes some attacks more likely. The node selection algorithm should be
scraped and redone from scratch to be honest though.
This is a feature/fix to improve notification behavior when we receive
over 3 messages.
SnoreNotify prevents over 3 notifications from being displayed before a
user clears the notification. This is presumably to avoid infinite
notification spam.
Unfortunately this results in the notifications just coming in _after_
the user clears them. This means if there are 100s of messages built up
the user has to clear their notifications N messages / 3 times.
This feature/fix folds all notifications into a single notification
representing the current qTox notification state. See
notificationgenerator_test.cpp for what the new messages look like.
Previous exif transformations were not valid. The exif spec defines the
orientations as where the 0th row and the 0th column should end. The
previous mappings used in qTox did not respect these mappings and needed
to be updated.
We need to be lenient when reading from db because of ToxIds being saved in the
db from a bug introduced in e07d8d358f, which
used self ID rather than self Pk. Was subsequently fixed in
033f28e67e.

"A notable implementation where std::random_device is deterministic is old
versions of MinGW (bug 338, fixed since GCC 9.2)."
Although time is less random off Windows, we don't need a strongly random
number for this, and using time avoids having to use platform specific code.
Fix#2917
* Reorder class data members and/or constructor initialisers to match,
reducing confusion about when members will be initialised.
* Remove (most) unused variables. Not removed: some global variables with
`TODO(sudden6)` on them for using them in the future. I don't know how
far into the future sudden6 wants to use them, so I left them there for
now.
* Distinguish different bootstrap nodes in the logs by index in the
bootstrap node list. Originally, we used to log the address/port of the
node we're bootstrapping to. This was removed out of privacy concerns
(even though the bootstrap nodes are public). This made the logs much
less useful when debugging why the client isn't connecting. Having
indices makes it easier to see that different nodes are being selected,
and makes it possible to determine which node was selected.
* Explicitly cast unused results of Tox API functions to `void` when all
we want is to know whether the function succeeds or not.
* Don't try to `#include <unistd.h>` on Windows. It does not exist on
MSVC.
* Remove extra `;` after function definitions.
* Remove reference indirection of QJsonValueRef, since a copy of that ref
(small pointer-like object) has to be made anyway when iterating over
QJsonArrays.
* Make some file-scope global state `static`.
* Use `nullptr` instead of `NULL`.
* Add `#if DESKTOP_NOTIFICATIONS` around the code that implements desktop
notifications, so it becomes a bit easier to compile everything with a
single compiler command - useful for manually running static analysers.
* Fix an error on MSVC where `disconnect` is looked up to be a non-static
member function and the `this` capture is missing.
* Consistently use `struct` and `class` tags for types.
* Use references in ranged-for where it reduces copies.
* Move private static data members out of the Style class and into
file-local scope. There is no need for them to be in the class. Also
marked them `const` where possible.
* Removed unused lambda capture.
* Ensure qTox can compile under NDEBUG with `-Wunused-variable` by
inlining the unused variable into the `assert` that was its only
target.
* Minor reformatting in core_test.cpp.
Our previous SQLCiper upgrade code attempted to set SQLCipher 4.0
default params. If SQLCipher 3.x was used at that time, it would result
in only half upgrading the params, since SQLCipher 3.x doesn't support
PRAGMA cipher_hmac_algorithm or PRAGMA cipher_kdf_algorithm. This means
that our databases could be saved with any of three sets of SQLCipher
params.
