in which you can set user affiliations and roles.
Also, let getAffiliationList return an Error instead of `null` if you're
not allowed to fetch a particular affiliation list.
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`).
This change reverts the significant part of 1dfdb36d20
I can't say that I understand why libsignal throws `Error: Invalid signature`
when you try to build a session for your own (sending) device, but given that
messages can only be decrypted once, I guess it isn't really necessary
to encrypt for your own device, since you already have the plaintext.
In addition I've added some error handling so that we can recover
gracefully when session building fails for a subset of devices.
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
Unfortunately this doesn't work on Firefox and there's no proper
workaround. https://github.com/philipwalton/flexbugs/issues/108

Revert "Bugfix. Properly insert error messages and spinner"
This reverts commit 6a419cc145.
Revert "Use flexbox to keep the chat scrolled down"
This reverts commit dd91d3cc55.
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`.
