By using `display: flex` and `flex-direction: column-reverse`, the chat
now automatically scrolls down when loaded, without requiring any
extra JavaScript.
We still need to scroll down with JavaScript when sending a message.
By using `column-reverse`, the messages container now works in reverse.
So the newest message is the first element in the container and the
oldest message is the last. This is the reverse of before.
Due to this, this change will likely break some plugins.
Up and down arrows only serve as message correction shortcuts if the
textarea is empty.
This means that:
- Up arrow doesn't start correction of previous message if we're currently writing a message
- Down arrow doesn't erase currently written message
This is based on user-feedback and is also how Slack handles these
shortcuts.
- Set roster_fetched flag when we get an empty IQ[type="result"] stanza
- Set `restored` flag when resuming in converse-smacks
- Don't trigger change event when fetching xmppstatus values
- Removed two events, since we can just listen to `change` on `_converse.xmppstatus`.
- Remove the `keepalive` configuration setting. It is now always implicitly `true`.
- Remove the `expose_rid_and_sid` configuration setting.
- A `prebind_url` is now mandatory when setting `authentication` to `prebind`.
- It's no longer possible to pass in `rid` and `sid` values to `converse.initialize.
- New plugin `converse-smacks`
- New config option `enable_smacks`
- Rename session cache id from `converse.bosh-session` to `converse.session`
- Refactor logout and login as consistently used api methods
- Refactor session cache to store per JID
Fixes#316
- new config option `singleton`.
- new plugin `converse-uniview`
- removed `converse-embedded`.
- various CSS changes, to properly render an embedded full app
- don't re-open cached and non-autojoined chats in singleton mode
The goal here is to extend the `embedded` `view_mode` so that the full app can
also be embedded, not just a single MUC or private chat.
To do this, we'll need to differentiate between multi and singleton chat apps.
* A singleton chat app contains only a single chat.
* A multi-chat app can contain zero or more chats
So we introduce a new config option, `singleton`, which when used with
`view_mode` set to `embedded` will determine whether a single chat or the full
app is embedded.
Similarly, in `overlayed`, `fullscreen` and `mobile` view modes, `singleton`
set to true will allow only one chat within the parameters of that view mode.
We're appropriating the word `singleton` and introducing the concepts of
`uniview` and `multiview` (see a785ca8) to cover what was
previously meant with `singleton`.

* Rooms Api
number of parameters in the documentation was made 2 from 3 as api which is used to open a room with default configuration has only 2 parameters.
- Let box_id start with char for valid HTML.
- No need to use SHA1 for box id
- No need for the user_id attribute.
- Set nickname when we set the roster contact.
Also...
- _converse.api.contacts.get is now async
- _converse.api.chats.create is now async
This changes the API method's current behavior by not automatically
maximizing (in `overlayed` view mode) or bringing a background chat into
foreground (in `fullscreen` view mode). Instead `force` needs to be set
to `true` for that to happen.
Set reference to roster contact on the message and chatbox object and
listen for changes to the nickname.
Currently, because chat boxes are fetched and initialized before the
roster, messages and chats are repainted with the correct display name
only later, causing a "flash" effect.
Ideally we would only initialize the chat boxes after the roster
contacts have been fetched, but this is currently not easily possible
because we need the control box to render before everything else.
When set, the "Nickname" field won't be shown in the "Add groupchat"
modal and instead the nickname will be automatically set (based on other
config settings).
Until now, we've only been explicitly documenting the `_converse.api`
namespace and only considered the methods under it as forming the API
contract (which determines how we do semver releases).
It appears as if we've reached a point where trying to keep everything
under the `_converse.api` namespace no longer makes sense. Certain
methods are applicable to particular models and trying to shoehorn them
into the `_converse.api` namespace seems clunky and non-intuitive.
I've therefore decided to slightly refactor `sendMessage` to let it take
two simple parameters and to document it with JSDoc so that it's
presented as an API method, albeit only available on a chat model.

Eventually we need to add better support for receipts and markers of MAM
messages.
We'll need to do the following:
* First check whether the MAM page already contains the receipts or markers, to avoid duplication
* Only ever in catchup mode
* Only after full catchup to ensure that the receipt is not in a different page than the message
Currently, in order for Converse.js to recognize a pasted URL as an
image, it must be an URL whose protocol is `https:` (`https` in the
URI.js library's notation). This is sensible, but means that any
non-HTTPS image URL is not recognized as a valid URL (and thus will not
be rendered inline, even if `show_images_inline` is set to `true`).
It is important to always check for HTTPS URLs when in a secure context
(i.e., the initial page load was requested via HTTPS) in order to ensure
that non-secured content does not mix with secured content. However, the
inverse is not true: if the original page was loaded over HTTP, then
enforcing HTTPS for images adds arguably no meaningful protection while
also breaking the `show_images_inline` feature for the edge cases where
Converse.js is deployed without HTTPS and a user pastes an HTTP URL.
This patch changes the behavior of the `isImageURL` method such that the
requirement for the pasted URL's protocol to be `https:` is enforced
only when the `window.location.protocol` itself is also `https:`. By
doing this, we ensure that secure origins (i.e., when Converse.js is
loaded over HTTPS initially) are still secured and cannot have non-HTTPS
content introduced to the page via a pasted non-HTTPS URL, however it
also allows non-HTTPS origins to render both HTTP and HTTPS image URLs.
As per XEP-0004, the default "type" of data form fields is
"text-single", so a missing "type" attribute should not be treated
differently.
This fixes handling of CAPTCHAs offered by ejabberd.
* Replace `tearDown` overrides with event handlers.
* Move presence listeners to `connected` event handler, otherwise they
don't get called when logging in again after disconnection.
* Add `clearSession` listeners to clean up upon disconnection.
* Use `Promise.all` instead of listening for multiple events.
