I didn't understand MQTT at all. Per the docs anyway it only keeps a
message around if its "persist" flag is set, and then it only keeps
the most recent per topic. I expected that when a device connected,
messages would be waiting for it, but that's apparently not true (some
evidence to the contrary.) But having all games on a device share the
same topic means only one message can be waiting. So switch to
including gameID in the topic, subscribing to a wildcard topic and
sending to a different one per game. For now, for legacy purposes,
we'll keep sending to the old per-device topic.
Add dutil proc haveGame() and use it to detect duplicate
invitations. I'm passing, but ignoring on android, the channel, which
means that for now you can't invite yourself and on-device testing
requires having CrossWords and CrossDbg or a second user.
I was getting language name and iso code confused so adding a new type
to keep them separate. Keep string type for crossing JNI boundary and
passing as param e.g. in URLs and Bundles.
I want receiver to know when message was originally created. This adds
timestamp to messages and passes it via send proc. Client needs to
send it where possible. So far, MQTT format can't include it without
change, so I'm adding a new proto version. This change can read the
new version. Once that's well-enough distributed I can start sending
using it. Other transmission types than MQTT are for later.
Now we use only ISOCode string internally to identify languages, and
since that's universal it can be built into an wordlist and used
without the build of CrossWords knowing about that language
specifically (though it'll have to know about it to have the language
name be localizable.) For legacy support, though, the old int codes
are transmitted in invitations and URLs IFF available, otherwise the
string's used. If a newer build invites and older build to play in a
too-new language there will be trouble.
When I've invited a Known Player, use that player's name in parens in
scoreboard and games list elem/summary until a remote device connects
(usually in response to an invitation) and provides an actual player
name. Makes it much easier to tell one pending game from another. And
doesn't really work (yet) where there's more than one remote player in
a game.
The old API required passing dict into game creation/loading. New
doesn't, but in some places I was doing other stuff there (like checking
existance), so can't remove there. Still code goes away.
Supid bug generating keys from __FILE__ meant each release
build (usually done in /tmp/$$, or on a travis server) had a new key and
generated a new MQTT devID (and other stuff less frequently used.)
Replace the keys with something that won't change, and as a temporary
fix so the upgrade including this fix doesn't generate new keys use the
most recent stored key matching the suffix the old keys will have had in
common.
If a configured-as-host game joined an existing game the relay would
make it a guest. The android util_ callback for that change was only
implemented in BoardDelegate and so the change was dropped unless the
game was open/visible. Because comms recorded the change, though, the
callback would never be called again and so the game never learned to
behave as a guest and never registered: permanent failure to join game!
Implemented with a new server state so initClientConnection can be
called from server_do() instead of inside comms while processing an
incoming packet.
Add a basic regular expression engine to the dictiter, and to the UI add
the ability to filter for "starts with", "contains" and "ends with",
which translate into ANDed RE_*, _*RE_* and _*RE, respectively (with
_ standing for blank/wildcard). The engine's tightly integrated with the
next/prevWord() functions for greatest possible speed, but unless
there's no pattern does slow things down a bit (especially when "ENDS
WITH" is used.) The full engine is not exposed (users can't provide raw
REs), and while the parser will accept nesting (e.g. ([AB]_*[CD]){2,5}
to mean words from 2-5 tiles long starting with A or B and ending with C
or D) the engine can't handle it. Which is why filtering for word length
is handled separately from REs (but also tightly integrated.)
Users can enter strings that don't map to tiles. They now get an
error. It made sense for the error alert to have a "Show tiles"
button, so there's now a dialog listing all the tiles in a wordlist,
something the browser has needed all along.
This is meant to replace the relay eventually, but for now it's a new
option, like BT or SMS, to be chosen. Protocol is handled in common/
code for the first time, meaning that linux and android interact without
the need to keep two platforms in sync. Linux uses lib-mosquitto, and
Android uses eclipse's Paho client (the generic java version, not the
one that uses four-year-old Service patterns and so crashes for SDK >=
26.)
I'm keeping it AND asserting at every possible location that the env
passed all the way in is the same as what the mapping produces. If in
months I haven't seen a single crash then I can evaluate which way of
passing the env around is better. (It'd be code size vs. performance,
as the passing of env is noticably faster. Code size could be fixed by
turning 'XWEnv xwe,' into a macro that goes away on some builds.)
I was getting an occasional crash using a stale env to delete a dict's
resources because the dict was cacheing the env that created it. Dumb!
Using the thread->env mapping stuff worked, but that felt risky and so I
tried just passing it in. It's safe, and involves an amount of change I
can tolerate. So likely going that way.
Currently detects the same as tiles not in a line and calls out to a new
util method that's currently parameter-less. On Android the option only
appears in d variants.
