Age	Commit message (Collapse)	Author
2023-01-09	Make return statement more consistent	xengineering

2023-01-09	Prevent NULL pointer crash	xengineering
	It used to be assumed that the user sets the LIMOX_USER and LIMOX_PWD shell variables but there was no error checking if this was not the case. This commit adds the check preventing a crash of the whole program. Furthermore an error message is printed to the terminal.
2023-01-08	Remove xmpp_ prefix from private function	xengineering
	This is just internally used and thus has no benefit.
2023-01-08	Rename to resolve_dns()	xengineering
	This explains better what this function is about.
2023-01-08	Improve get_domainpart() docs	xengineering

2023-01-08	Adapt comment indent to Linux kernel code	xengineering

2023-01-08	Remove commented code	xengineering

2023-01-08	Connect on mouse click	xengineering
	With this commit the client starts the connection to the server as soon as the user clicks into the application window. Disconnect or reading / writing to the stream is not implemented.
2022-12-04	Implement printing of server response	xengineering
	Sadly there is no way to stop LimoX after connection. This has to be fixed by a commit implementing a better control flow between GUI and network part of the program.
2022-12-04	Implement client stream header sending	xengineering
	This starts the XML stream via the XMPP connection.
2022-12-04	Implement TCP connection to XMPP server	xengineering
	This commit adds the functionality to actually connect to port 5222 (xmpp-client) of a XMPP server! This was tested using prosody and verified via its systemd journal log entries.
2022-12-04	Implement socket creation	xengineering
	The socket is needed for the TCP connection to the XMPP server.
2022-12-04	Implement DNS with a temporary solution	xengineering
	The DNS resolution implemented with this commit uses getaddrinfo() from the standard library to get an IPv4 address for the domainpart of the user-given Jabber ID (JID). This is by far not the process described in [RFC 6120][1]. This XMPP core standard prefers SRV entry lookups. Taking A records like in this implementation is referenced as "fallback process". Furthermore this implementation just takes the first A record it finds which could also be improved. It could for example be that IPv4 is blocked in the referenced network and a AAAA IPv6 record is given and functional. In this case this implementation would needlessly fail to connect.

2022-12-02	Add GPL3 license header to relevant source files	xengineering
	This should make the license more visible and prevent wrong usage.
2022-11-27	Implement dummy DNS resolution	xengineering
	This is not by far complete DNS handling but demonstrates that name resolution works by printing the IP address type (IPv4 or IPv6) for each found IP address.
2022-11-27	Switch completely to SDL2 version	xengineering
	The now legacy version of LimoX with GTK4 and libstrophe is now not part of the main branch anymore. There might be a legacy branch keeping this version at the time of reading. This cut of implemented functionality is motivated by these reasons: - Implementing XMPP is fun, educative and gives full control. - Low level graphics with SDL2 is portable, fast, educative an mature. - I do not have to use GLib and a crazy event loop anymore (run and hide)
2022-11-20	Extract domain from JID with parser function	xengineering
	It is mandatory to have an IP address to dial a TCP connection. FOr this purpose the JID which is given by the user has to be converted into a FQDN and then translated to an IP via DNS. The function added with this commit implements this first part. The extraction of the domain (more precisely the FQDN) from the JID.
2022-11-20	Get env based credential parsing to xmpp.c	xengineering

2022-11-20	Introduce dummy as second XMPP implementation	xengineering
	It is currently evaluated if it is worth a trial to drop libstrophe as a dependency and use a raw TCP connection and a XML library like expat to implement the XMPP part. This would have the following advantages: - fewer dependencies - learning more about XMPP itself and less about libstrophe - slower, but maybe easier implementation (XMPP doc is far more readable / extensive) Because of these reasons the `limox_sdl2` version was switched to a dummy XMPP implementation `xmpp.c` which acts now as a test field for XMPP hacking.
