This is a fork of whatsappweb-rs by Christoph Walcher (@wiomoc). It's used by sms-irc, and is actively maintained in conjuction with that project. I didn't write most of this code - and most of the reverse-engineering work for the protocol was done by sigalor, under the aegis of the whatsapp-web-reveng project.

• Various stability fixes (doesn't error out as easily when WhatsApp sends us weird stuff)
• Made it suitable for publication to crates.io
• Dependency updates (to work with modern Rust crates)
• New error handling (using failure instead of error-chain)
• Small bug fixes here and there
• More data exposed (e.g. videos, unimplemented messages, captions)

(taken from the original README verbatim)

• send/receive text-, image-, audiomessages
• create/modify groups
• get userinfo (status, presence, profilepic)
• get contacts, chats
• send/receive message acknowledge
• receive changes from app e.g. (un-)pin, (un-)mute, delete chat
• relogin without scanning qrcode
• query older messages
• reconnect on connection loss

• Error messages need to be less stringly-typed
• Message deletions / revocations
• Broadcast lists
• Documentation!
• Code cleanup
