Room flags (e.g., whether or not to auto-join, whether notifications
should be sent on message receive) can now be toggled through a room's
right-click menu in the room-list.
Two new room flags were added for notifications as well― ROOM_NOTIFY_DM
and ROOM_NOTIFY_ALL. If ROOM_NOTIFY_DM is enabled, the user will receive
notifications if they are in a one-on-one chat. If ROOM_NOTIFY_ALL, they
will receive notifications on every message sent to the room.
The default menu items for the room's pop-up menu were moved from
Templates.rdef to be built into the app.
Everything else in Templates.rdef should follow suit― B_TRANSLATE
can't be used in rdef files!
Now a notification is sent as soon as a protocol has been readied
(before connection established), and all status notifications use the
same message ID to avoid spamming the poor user.
If a message/event is sent to a room that's tied to a user that hasn't
been formally declared (through IM_ROOM_PARTICIPANTS or
IM_ROOM_PARTICIPANT_JOINED), that user won't be unconditionally kept
anymore.
Now, after adding an implicit user, the participant list will be
requested again― upon receiving the list, all implicitly-defined users
will be removed. If they really existed to begin with, they should be
re-added quickly through this re-sending of IM_ROOM_PARTICIPANTS.
Ghosts should be treated as ghosts, not users.
Binary logs are no longer stored as a single message with a list of
strings and int64s ("body", "user_name", "user_id", "when"), but a
message with sub-messages (IM_MESSAGE_RECEIVED) verbatim saved.
This has the main benefit of preserving message formatting (coloring,
bold, italics, etc).
Chat messages can now be formatted with colors in addition to varying
faces with "color_start," "color_length," and "color" slots in
IM_MESSAGE_RECEIVED.
If the user disables an account, this saves it so that on any
subsequent start-ups, the account won't be connected until the user
explicitly re-enables it.
ProtocolSettings were reworked to allow for publicly loading/saving
settings from BMessages, rather than solely from BViews.
In addition, all program-side disabling, enabling, and toggling of
accounts has been consolidated into ProtocolManager. This makes life
easier for other parts of the program that have to do these things
anyway.
