The "room" template has been split into two seperate
templates― "join_room" and "create_room". Before, "room" was used in the
room creation window, but now that's delegated to "create_room".
"join_room" is used with the join window― so now, the add-on has total
control over the slots used to join/create rooms generally, if they
specify the templates. Even a "/join" command could be overriden by the
add-on.
Also, default templates are now in use. Rather than add-ons being
required to specify templates, there are sensible defaults included with
Cardie for each one.
The base for roster management (RosterEditWindow) has been made, and
adding new contacts works. Up next is contact removal and editing.
This leverages a new template (as defined in a protocol's
CayaProtocol::SettingsTemplate()), "roster," which should contain all
slots pertinent to editing/adding a contact member.
Two new API messages were added for this― IM_CONTACT_LIST_CONTACT_ADDED
and IM_CONTACT_LIST_CONTACT_REMOVED. The former will functionally just
be IM_CONTACT_INFO, but with some semantical meaning.
A new CayaMessage (CAYA_EDIT_ROSTER) was also added.
TemplateWindow was also edited to this end: Now, like RosterWindow/View,
it can be given a specific accounts' instance id, and it will prevent
the selection of another account. A new constructor was also added, to
allow a ProtocolTemplate to be explicitly passed to it― probably from
the program itself.
A nice templating system is used for account settings dialogues― the
required slots are specified by the protocol, and are reflected in the
settings dialogue.
To generalize this templating system (and eventually use elsewhere),
ProtocolSettings was split into two classes― ProtocolSettings and
ProtocolTemplate.
The CayaProtocol::SettingsTemplate() call was also edited to require a
string parameter, naming the specific template that should be returned.
"account" is used for the account settings dialogue, and other values
are TBA.
Now an add-on can contain multiple protocols, and the protocol API has
changed. An add-on must now export protocol_count() and protocol_at(),
with the latter replacing protocol(). protocol_count() returning the
amount of protocols in a given add-on, and protocol_at(i) giving a
new CayaProtocol* "at" the given index.
CayaProtocol has also been changed, adding Signature(),
FriendlySignature(), Icon(), Path(), and SetPath(). The reasoning is
that different protocols (even within a single add-on) will have
different signatures and icons, so this data should be accessible from
the protocol itself.
CayaProtocolAddOn now has CountProtocols() and ProtocolAt(i), allowing
the accessing of multiple protocols. A CayaProtocolAddOn can be given a
default protocol index in the constructor, whose protocol will be
returned with Protocol(). Version() was also moved from CayaProtocol to
CayaProtocolAddOn.
