Offline sat in the middle of Backup & reset, privacy settings were spread
over Reading, Composing and Message list, and the version card took room
from the page list in the sidebar's footer. The search matched letters
inside words ("lock" found Time format and Send Checks) and knew no other
words for a setting ("offline", "autoreply", "logout" found nothing).
- Offline is a page in the top group: Keep mail on this device, what is
kept, Remove everything from this device, and the Outbox as its own
section. Old `/settings/backup/offline` links and the offline notice
land there.
- Privacy holds remote images and trusted senders, read receipts, sender
pictures from the web, the desktop app's usage info and crash reports,
and a link to the push relay on Notifications. Reading, Composing and
Message list keep a link row; old links to those sections land on
Privacy.
- About is the last page and holds the version card; the footer keeps the
Advanced switch.
- The search matches whole words and word starts (substrings only in
Chinese, Japanese and Thai), and each row can carry synonyms in the
user's language. A page matches by its name and keywords or when one of
its rows has every word. Account gets a Sign out row so "logout" leads
somewhere.
- The index test now also fails when a page draws a section the index
doesn't know, and a new test fails on two indexed rows with the same
name. Tests that rendered remote content and sender pictures on Reading
and Message list render Privacy instead, since that's where the rows are.
The plain-language test asserted that the normal strings show while the switch is off and that changing the switch swaps them live. With no switch left, it now asserts the plain strings show from the first render and through a language change.
The shell now takes a message's signed attributes where it took a digest,
so a page can't get a login or TLS digest signed. A quiet option lets a
plugin answer from what's allowed, for anything the user didn't ask for.
An admin's install no longer covers the certificates on someone's own
computer: a managed plugin gets `keystore` when that person says yes, also
when an update adds it, and it's forgotten once everyone has signed out.
Changed test assertions: the fixture plugin needs a grant now, as managed
alone is no longer enough, and the bridge gets an options argument.
A plugin's render can be a key operation, and mark-read replacing the
message object ran it twice: a second PIN dialog, and two cancels lock the
key. The effects now depend on what the hook sees and on the explicit
re-render nonce, not on the object. The list row and the full message still
differ, as a row has no headers for a plugin to recognise its mail by.
onRenderEmailBody can return `blockExternalContent: true` (flag
`api.host.features.blockExternalContent`) for a body it can't vouch for.
External content then stays off whatever the settings and trusted senders
allow, in the reader and in conversations, with no way to load it. The S/MIME
plugin uses it against EFAIL.
A forced value could be got around from inside the app. Only a forced
value may now decide what's allowed: the keys that do are forced-only,
so a recommended one no longer acts as forced. With a plugin list a
package can name any id, so uploads are refused and only managed
plugins can match. A server taken off AllowedJmapServers stops its
accounts without signing out: client, push and sync stop, the switcher
drops them, restore and refresh answer 403 with the cookie kept, and
listing it again resumes with no sign-in. OAuth and SSO starts check
the list too.
- `policy.onWipeOfflineData` is gone from the bridge: main runs the wipe
- `KeystoreAllowedOrigins` added, and `POLICY_CONSUMERS` names who acts
on each key or who still owes it
- a Bulwark server's name must be plain after parsing, a wildcard in the
auth lists needs a domain of two labels
Fixes from the review of api.files:
- `files.attach` to a new draft runs `onBeforeAttachmentUpload` for each
file and the server's total size limit before `compose.open`, which
runs neither; refused files come back in `refused`
- a write is refused when a folder above the target is missing from the
listing, instead of counting it as not shared
- `onFileMove` reports the item as it was, from where it was, like the
Files app's own move
- writes are counted against the 20-a-minute limit before the drive is
listed, so refused writes count and cost no listing
- reads stop the download past 20 MB (`fetchBlobArrayBuffer` with a
limit) and answer `too_big` when the listed size was wrong
- when the server refuses the new content of a replaced file, the old
version's copy is taken out of the trash again
The two getText assertions on `fetchBlobArrayBuffer` now expect the
account (undefined for the own drive) and the byte limit, since the
call passes both.
api.email.getThread fetches only the newest 50 messages of a thread
(Thread/get, then Email/get for those ids) instead of all of them with
their bodies. api.email.getThreadCount answers the number of messages
from Thread/get, with its own rate limit.
plugin-host-thread.test.ts now expects getThreadEmails to be called with
{ newest: 50 }, the new option that limits what is fetched.
- The button and the panel of Calendar, Contacts, Files and Settings
show only when the plugin's shouldShow says yes, so a plugin switched
off for these views (admin, user or no service) leaves no button that
opens an empty panel, and no extra rows in Contacts and Settings.
- Files: while the details are open the panel steps aside there only;
the other views keep it as the user left it. With both stored open the
details fold when the page loads.
- Resizing stops where the view keeps its 480 px, so a drag or the arrow
keys no longer fold the panel away (and the handle keeps the focus).
- Settings and Contacts render the same element with or without the
panel, so a form keeps what was typed when the panel starts docking.
- Contacts on a phone: the panel button sits over an open contact too.
- The panel buttons of the reader and the views have one name, "Plugin
panel", with aria-pressed, and name the plugin's panel shortcut in
their title; the open panels are named landmarks.
The reader tests look the button up by its new name and pressed state
(viewer-toolbar-over-side-panel, reader-plugin-surfaces,
viewer-plugin-panel-width), since "Show/Hide plugin panel" is gone.
api.host.features.sidePanel now says whether this plugin may offer the
app-side-panel (ui:side-panel granted), not only that the webmail has
it. A plugin enabled before an update added the permission can then say
so instead of offering a switch that does nothing. The host computes the
assistant's flags per plugin for a frame's init and for each push.
plugin-host-features.test.ts: the host bridge assertions take the
assistant's flags as the test plugin sees them (it lacks ui:side-panel,
so sidePanel is false there).
The AI assistant's "more actions" need host calls today's plugin API
lacks. Area c of lib/plugin-sandbox/assistant adds them:
- `calendar.respond(emailId, status)`, new permission calendar:respond:
answers an invitation of the user's own account through
lib/calendar-rsvp.ts, like the reader's banner
- `calendar.deleteEvent` now returns an undo token for a single event;
`calendar.undoDelete` creates it again from the host's copy
- `filters.list/create/undo` over Settings > Filters' model; forward,
redirect, reject, discard and keep are refused, and so are folders
that are shared or not the account's own
- `email.batch/undoBatch`: up to 200 messages through the store's
batch functions, restore points first, one entry in the undo history
- `vacation.get` also says whether the out-of-office forwards mail
- `app.describeSettings`, `app.setSettings` and `app.undoSettings`, new
permission settings:change, over the allow-list in
lib/settings-schema.ts, refusing locked, hidden, restricted and gated
settings when the change is made
Undo tokens stay in the host for 30 minutes, bound to the plugin and
the account. app.getSettings now shows every setting setSettings may
change. settings:write's text is reworded to what it gates (tags).
plugin-host-api-app-info gains a test; its other assertions are as
they were.
