- Add support for switching ephemerality after message creation
- Move more methods from ChatBox and ChatRoom to utils/stanza.js
- Rename 'ephemeral' to 'is_ephemeral' since it's a boolean
by not logging in automatically when `auto_login` is `false` and we're
using anonymous, external or prebind authentication.
For `authentication` set to `login` the situation is much more
ambiguous, since we don't have a clear distinction between wether we're
restoring a previous session (`keepalive`) or whether we're
automatically setting up a new session (`auto_login`).
So currently if *either* `keepalive` or `auto_login` is `true` and
`authentication` is set to `login`, then Converse will try to log the
user in.
It's unlikely that `keepalive` needs to be set to `false`, but there are
some edge cases where it might be useful.
Here's a breakdown of the different configurations of `keepalive` and `auto_join`:
---
* auto_login: false, keepalive: true
This is the default config. Users need to log in manually, but then
Converse will try to reconnect them when the page reloads.
* auto_login: true, keepalive: true
Also very popular configuration. Used with `credentials_url` or `prebind_url`.
* auto_login = `true`, keepalive = `false`
Not sure what this could be useful for. No currently known application.
* auto_login = `false`, keepalive = `false`
Useful when you want some kind of specific action to trigger login, but
you don't want to maintain that state across page reloads.
Also relevant when using a websocket connection with anonymous login.
With websocket it's impossible to maintain anonymous sessions across page
reload because the the session gets removed server-side as soon as the
websocket connection drops and the server won't accept a full JID with
password for an anonymous connection anyway (which could happen upon
page reload when Converse tries to login in again if `keepalive` was `true`).
In some cases, it might be desirable to clear cached chat messages once you've
reconnected to the XMPP server.
For example, if you want to prevent the chat history from getting too long or
if you want to avoid gaps in the chat history (for example due to MAM not
returning all messages since the last cached message).
If you're using OMEMO, then you probably don't want to set this setting to
``true``. OMEMO messages can be decrypted only once, so if they then
subsequently get cleared, you won't get the plaintext back.
- Fixes#1575. Height not properly set on MUC invitation list
- Add new configuration setting: `muc_mention_autocomplete_min_chars`
- Bugfix. `min_chars` setting for MUC mentions wasn't having an effect
- 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`.
updates #1297
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).
The `_converse.session` store gets cleared after logout, but we want the
`trusted` flag to persist after logout.
Also update the documentation no that the `storage` config option has
been removed in favor of `trusted`.
Specifically the methods related to requesting an upload slot and uploading a file.
Also show a progress indicator while a file is being uploaded.
Updates #161
- Remove undocumented and unused event `update-status-ui`
- Remove xhr_custom_status and xhr_custom_status_url options
- Use default value
- Remove unnecessary getter and setter
1. Add a new `view_mode` value: `embedded`.
This value is used to determine wether the `converse-muc-embedded`
plugin is active or not.
2. Remove the need for the #converse-embedded-chat element.
Instead we reuse the #conversejs element and embed inside that.
3. Removed the need to manually blacklist core plugins
This is now done automatically if `view_mode` is set to `embedded`.
Perhaps eventually we don't blacklist at all and instead use the
`enable` plugin method. For some that probably won't work, like
`converse-chatview`, which we still need to be active.
