Transactions for clients This patch moves transactions out of the database component, allowing clients to perform multiple database calls in a single transaction. This should improve efficiency and reliability, at the cost of increased boilerplate for database calls. Operations that allow hooks, such as adding and removing contacts, pass their transactions to their hooks. This ensures the whole operation is atomic and isolated, so StorageStatus is no longer needed, hooks don't need to be idempotent, and locks can be removed from clients that were using them for isolation. This merge request is marked WIP because it will conflict with !74. See merge request !101
Briar is a messaging app designed for activists, journalists, and anyone else who needs a safe, easy and robust way to communicate. Unlike traditional messaging tools such as email, Twitter or Telegram, Briar doesn't rely on a central server - messages are synchronized directly between the users' devices. If the Internet's down, Briar can sync via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, keeping the information flowing in a crisis. If the Internet's up, Briar can sync via the Tor network, protecting users and their relationships from surveillance.
