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.
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.
