Some chat protocol messages' names have been changed to more fitting or
consistent names― e.g., "IM_AVATAR_SET" to "IM_USER_AVATAR_SET", or
"IM_CONTACT_LIST_*" to "IM_ROSTER_*" (to agree with Cardie's usage of
the word).
The API version has been bumped― for the forseeable future (at least
several months, I promise!) no compatibility-breaking changes will be
introduced. Until then, any new feautures or message slots will be
additive and optional.
Windows using RosterView (like for the invitiation/new chat dialogues)
have a search-box for filtering between contacts. This allows the user
to type a user ID into this search-box that isn't a contact's ID, which
can then be selected as the user.
This makes common operations (inviting a user/adding a new contact)
a little easier.
Now roster members can be deleted through the RosterEditWindow.
IM_CONTACT_LIST_REMOVED_CONTACT was renamed to
IM_CONTACT_LIST_CONTACT_REMOVED to fit style of other API messages.
Fixes#1.
Most of RosterWindow's special functions have been split into a special
BGroupView (including both the roster search-box and roster list),
RosterView.
This will give some more flexibility in other uses of the roster list.
In addition, RosterViews can be tied to a specific account by its
looper's instance ID, allowing it to either show all contacts (globally;
if the ID is set to -1) or only those of the specified account.
This can be useful, for example, when inviting contacts to a room―
you can only invite contacts that use the same protocol, and are
associated with your account, so showing all contacts doesn't make
sense.
The SearchBarTextControl class was removed, as it isn't particularly
necessary.
