Tank is a Qt-based matrix connection operator for the Telepathy framework.

Features

Requirements

• CMake 3.2 (required by TelepathyQt)
• Qt 5.6
• TelepathyQt
• libQuotient

Note: In order to use Tank, you need to have a complementary Telepathy Client application, such as KDE-Telepathy or Empathy.

Installation

Arch Linux AUR

AUR package for git version:

yaourt -S telepathy-tank-git

telepathy-tank's Issues

Implement new direct chat creation

Create new DirectChat on createChannel() request for a contact that has no exists direct chat room.

Maybe the proper implementation will require TelepathyIM/telepathy-qt#5.

Implement read delivery status support

manuals:

• fully read markers
• m.read receipt

hints:

• telepathy-nonsense implementation
• telepathy-morse implementation
• Spectral client sources

libQuotient removed libQuotient

When building (archlinux), gcc reports,
error: ‘avatarChanged’ is not a member of ‘Quotient::User’
only reference to it i can find is quotient-im/libQuotient#41

Fix connection with saved token

MatrixConnection::loadSessionData is not loading file from cache correctly

Make server configurable

We have the option, but it is not processed yet (we always connect to matrix.org).

Add delivery status to received (maybe scrollback) deleted messages

There are messages that appear as empty. E.g.:

{
    "event_id": "$15282407011961400zxcv:matrix.org",
    "origin_server_ts": 1528240701391,
    "sender": "@user:matrix.org",
    "type": "m.room.message",
    "unsigned": {
        "redacted_because": {
            "content": {
            },
            "event_id": "$152828063184353KOAVJ:matrix.org",
            "origin_server_ts": 1528280634630,
            "redacts": "$15282407011961400zxcv:matrix.org",
            "sender": "@user:matrix.org",
            "type": "m.room.redaction",
            "unsigned": {
                "age": 15550255922
            }
        }
    }
}

It seems that it would be enough to add Tp::DeliveryStatusDeleted to deleted message header for the example above. We need to investigate this and other reducted messages and implement at least some trivial cases.

Implement typing status support

Example: telapathy-morse Tp::ChannelChatStateComposing

Implement receive of messages

We need to receive messages "on line".

Setup CI

Implement history

Fetch messages on new (for this account) room added.
Fetch all messages since the last fetch on account connected.

We can not fetch messages on channel requested, because ATM there is no logger that can detect repeated scrollback messages, so we have to prevent the same message from being 'received' more than once.

Add a plugin for ktp-accounts-kcm

Add a KDE-specific user-friendly way to setup Matrix account.

Implement sendMessage()
