A new class was added (ChatCommand) to represent commands, which are
all stored in the Server iself.
A command can be assigned any arbitrary BMessage, and can be given
arguments with some semantic meaning (so far just "string" or "room
participant," etc).
"invite" and moderation commands were added (ban/kick/mute etc).
Add a program-wide avatar cache― whenever a contact or user's avatar has
changed, it gets cached in ~/config/settings/Caya/Cache/$account/People
(for contacts) or $account/Users (for everyone else).
ImageCache is now used, only for caching the kPersonIcon resource image―
it might be useful later for other commonly used images (status
indicators, etc).
Fixes#4
Rooms are now cached in ~/config/settings/Caya/Cache/$account/Rooms/,
with each file representing a seperate room. The filename is used as the
identifier, and these files now also serve as log files. The log
attribute name has also changed from "logs" to "Caya:logs".
When a protocol has succesfuly connected, all cached rooms are
automatically joined.
If chat logs are stored in an endless plain-text file, they're going to be a
pain to parse. If they're stored in a binary file, they're a pain for
the user to `grep` or go through manually, but they're easier to parse.
Why not both?
Logs are now stored with a BMessage (with BStringLists) in the 'logs'
attribute, and the plain-text logs in the file itself.
The attribute will only store 20 messages, but the file itself will be
appended to forever.
The logs directory also changed, from ~/config/settings/Caya/Cache/Logs
to ~/config/settings/Caya/Logs.
Useful functions for reading/writing messages to and from an attribute were
borrowed from BePodder's libfunky. :-)
The conversation view now displays the protocol icon and room subject.
Messages for receiving room names (IM_ROOM_NAME) and subjects
(IM_ROOM_SUBJECT) were added, and support for the latter was given to
the XMPP add-on.
New message APIs were added, and several (room-related) im_what values were
moved into the 150s/160s.
UserItem::_TintColor() was moved to CayaUtils, because it can be used in
several different contexts.
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.
