Now the user can leave or be forced to leave a chat.
For this, two protocol API messages were added: IM_LEAVE_ROOM, and IM_ROOM_LEFT.
Aside from that, IM_ROOM_BAN_PARTICIPANT and IM_ROOM_KICK_PARTICIPANT
were added, though they aren't used yet.
Two new messages were added to the protocol API to do this:
M_ROOM_PARTICIPANTS, which can be used when someone joins a room, or
on joining a room to send a full list of users, and IM_ROOM_PARTICIPANT_LEFT,
for when a user has left the room/disconnected.
IM_SET_STATUS no longer assumes received data comes from contacts, but
any general user.
UserItem was made to reflect changes in the User's name.
Chat messages can now be reliably received in a given room. :)
Protocol messages was added to the API to allow joining abstract rooms
by their chat_id― IM_JOIN_ROOM and IM_ROOM_JOINED. To make room in
anticipation of future room-related calls, some messages' values have
been shifted.
A JoinWindow was created (found through [Chat→Join Room] or [Alt-J] in
the main window), to allow joining a room with this protocol message.
The user can select which account the room should be joined from through
a drop-down menu in the lower left-hand corner― a design I think could
be replicated in other parts of Caya well.
Path() and SetPath() in CayaProtocol were renamed to AddOnPath() and
SetAddOnPath() respectively. GetName() and SetName() were also added,
where "name" is the account name (aka the leaf of the protocols settings
path).
To Server, a new KeyMap was added for convenience (AccountInstances), to
associate these account names with their instance IDs.
UserListView and UserItem were added as the backbone of the user-list,
and the (currently unused) Caya message CAYA_SEND_INVITE was established
for inviting users to rooms.
Some menus were reworked (e.g., pop-ups of the RosterListView) or
generally tweaked to be more sensical or consistent.
ALT-↑ and ALT-↓ change the active conversation, based on its position
in the main window's ConversationListView. If a conversation is
registered by the main window, and no other conversation is selected, it
is automatically selected.
Removes explicit setting of sizes in ConversationView and StatusView,
allowing them to be resized appropriately. Also rearranges StatusView
somewhat, so that it's more friendly to smaller sizes. (The avatar is
moved from being beside the status menu field to being beside the
nickname textbox.)
All chats now stay in a single window, which removes and switches its
current ConversationView with the appropriate one using
Conversation::GetView().
This is a stepping-stone to merging the ChatWindow into the MainWindow.
Now all active conversations will be listed in the main window, in a
ConversationListView. Clicking one of the items will open its
conversation window as you'd expect, etc.
The roster list is now split from MainWindow into RosterWindow, which
can be used arbitrarily for selecting something from contacts. The
im_what, title, and target can be specified.
Right now it's in use under the Chat menu, "New chat…". Chats can only
have two members (DM/PM), so "New chat…" directly leads to the roster
list.
In the future, roster list might be extended to allow specification of
non-contact users based on their identifiers, or filtering based on
protocol/account― this could help it with "invites" to future rooms,
etc.
IM_CREATE_CHAT and IM_CHAT_CREATED were also added to the protocol API,
allowing a new chat to be explicitly created from Caya or the protocol.
This is a commit with it's foot in a lot of places, but:
The Conversation class was created as the abstraction of chats: All
ImMessages that are relevant to a conversation get routed through it,
meta-data on chats is stored in it (even if right now that's basically
limited to the user list and ID).
Server was given more methods to help accessing contacts―
ContactById(BString) and AddContact(Contact*). This better allows
Conversations to add and fetch Contacts as necessary. Right now, all
users in chats are treated as Contacts, so in the future creating an
independent userlist for Server (fUserMap?) would be useful.
Server also now stores all Conversations (fChatMap) and has some
convenience methods like for Contacts: Conversations(),
ConversationById(BString), and AddConversation(Conversation*).
CayaRenderView has been changed to not store user nicks, and will use
the appropriate nick of any arbitrarily-numbered user.
Users also have a map of all Conversations they are a part of
(fChatMap).
The Remove* methods of KeyMap now return the removed item.
* Add General section in Preference/Behavior
* Don't prompt at quit option under General section
* Show confirmation dialog on quit (if enabled)
Misc
* Replace +/- in preferences Accounts with Add/Del
* Shows notifications when contacts go online or offline. Unfortunately XMPP plugins will send presence notifications when the roster is populate so presence notification is shown for every online contact when the roster list view is populated the first time.
There's only one little problem that will probably be solved after Alpha1: if you have multiple accounts, all of them will set the avatar icon and the user will see just the last icon set.
