release notes

iMessage Exporter 4.1.0: [Chaparral Yucca](https://calscape.org/Hesperoyucca-whipplei-(Chaparral-Yucca)) contains the following fixes and improvements:

New Features

Rendering Engine

Migrate HTML and TXT exporters to an Askama-based template engine

Hard cutover: previous string-builder code path is fully removed
20 HTML templates and 22 TXT templates created
Per-format logic split between typed Rust view models and Askama template files
Shared rendering primitives consolidated so export types consume identical message structures
New view-model / driver layer is format-agnostic




Interactive iOS backup decryption password input via #730 (contributed by @jmcp)

Using an encrypted iOS backup without -x now prompts interactively
-x still supported for non-TTY contexts




Bug Fixes

Disable progress bar when run headless for #738

Support both automatic TTY detection and manual suppression via --no-progress


Fix sticker attachments not incrementing the attachment index
Fix double-indentation on replies in TXT output
Fix SharePlay's embedded "Ended" line not receiving the per-line reply indent
Fix several balloon spacing inconsistencies:

Leading whitespace before ldtext in find_my/apple_pay
Trailing colon when ldtext is absent
Stray whitespace when app_name is omitted


Fix format_url rendering blank lines when primary/title/summary are empty strings
URL messages with a missing payload row are now rendered through the standard URL renderer
Normalize announcement wording across export types
Fix broken sticker conversion on Windows
Fix 1-indexed ffmpeg HEICS conversion assembly
Fix sticker offset reconstruction gaps
Error logs no longer clobber the progress bar


Enhancements

ffmpeg processing warning now fires for animated stickers in addition to videos
Per-frame ffmpeg loop replaced with a single ffmpeg invocation that consumes both image sequences and applies alphamerge across them
Resolve self/recipient names through a single resolver so announcements and edits treat the local user identically
File-not-found errors now identify the missing path and resolution mode
Add context to edited message parse errors


API Changes


Breaking

Remove Message::started_sharing_location() and Message::stopped_sharing_location() in favor of Message::shared_location_kind()
EditedEvent.text is now String
Remove Table::extract. Use Table::rows or Table::row instead.

 
Migration details (click to expand)
Multi-row iteration:
  // Before
  let rows = stmt.query_map(params, |row| Ok(Message::from_row(row)))?;
  for row in rows {
      let msg = Message::extract(row)?;
      // ...
  }

  // After
  for msg in Message::rows(&mut stmt, params)? {
      let msg = msg?;
      // ...
  }

Single-row fetch:
  // Before
  let msg = Message::extract(stmt.query_row(params, |row| Ok(Message::from_row(row))))?;

  // After
  let msg = Message::row(&mut stmt, params)?;




Ergonomic

Add StickerDecoration enum and Attachment::get_sticker_decoration()

Consolidates get_sticker_source / get_sticker_source_application_name / get_sticker_effect dispatch into a single call returning a format-agnostic decoration


Add impl Display for Expressive<'_>
Derive Clone + Copy on BubbleEffect, ScreenEffect, and Expressive<'a>
Derive Default on URLMessage<'a>
Unify the exporter's MessageFormatter trait under a single RuntimeError return type

format_app, format_tapback, and format_message_into all return Result<_, RuntimeError>
RuntimeError gains a MessageError variant + From<MessageError> impl so ? composes end-to-end
RuntimeError now implements std::error::Error with source()
Every .map_err(...) wrapper site in the exporter crate eliminated






Security

HTML escaping is now applied uniformly at template render time via a new ChatEscaper
format_attributes now sanitizes HTML text on the no-attributes short-circuit


Miscellaneous

Reorganize exporter resources
Reduce allocations:

Attribute formatting now uses a single pre-allocated buffer with opens pushed in reverse and closes in forward order
Several String tag fields replaced with typed booleans
Redundant clones removed across the shared layer


Significant new test coverage
Remove dead and artificial tests covering code paths no longer reachable in the new architecture
Make unit tests run on PRs
Clippy cleanups
Bump dependencies
Build with latest rustc
