CreateAccountMenu() is used to populate a BMenu with items corresponding
to the map of accounts provided to it― but when an account is disabled
or enabled, it can't update automatically.
A dedicated class, fAccountsMenu, now replaces it― it'll automatically
repopulate the list whenever the active accounts update.
When a new message is posted (or the user is messaged), the room's item
in the roomlist is now highlighted, like Vision.
Chat also auto-scrolls when new messages are posted.
If the user's in a one-on-one chat, notify on every message― otherwise,
only notify when the user's name/ID is mentioned by another user.
Notifications should be managed by roomflags, but that's for another
time.
Base-level replacement of the Vision-derived text RunView― a couple
important features supported by the replacee haven't been implemented yet,
including:
* Right-click menu
* URL-highlighting/selection
* Emote support
The StatusView (below the roomlist) now shows a default icon if no
accounts have associated avatars, and will use an account's cached avatar
if available.
The BTextBox used for sending messages has been moved from the main
window to individual ConversationViews, allowing seperate histories,
texts, etc., to exist in different conversations.
EditingFilter (a filter that hooked into MainWindow) was previously used
to field special key combos with this textbox, including "ENTER" for
sending, but this has been replaced with a new textview subclass
(SendTextView).
It doesn't make sense to lump the user themself with their contacts
list― their Contact object is now stored seperately.
BBitmap loading for RosterItems are fixed, as well.
Fixes#33
Registration of custom chat commands and menu-items for protocols was
done by the IM_REGISTER_* messages, and is now done through direct calls
to the CayaProtocol object.
The new model for call/message for protocols is this: Temporary
information (chat messages, roster members, etc.) should be accessed
through messages. Relatively static data (protocol name, commands)
should be accessed through direct calls to the protocol object.
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.
Explicit room-creation using protocol's own "room" template is now
supported.
Two new protocol API messages were added― IM_CREATE_ROOM and
IM_ROOM_CREATED, which are parallels to IM_CREATE_CHAT and
IM_CHAT_CREATED. Rather than the latter two, though, these are wholy
based on the "room" template― their slots are completely determined by
the protocol.
A generic "TemplateWindow" was created, which allows catch-all creation
of windows that leverage protocols' templates. It's used for the
room-creation window (Chat->New Room / Alt+N), for example.
At some point, it ideally should replace even the JoinRoom window, and
maybe others.
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).
This makes it so RunView's built-in timestamps are used― but requires
that a time_t be sent with each newly-appended line. This allows for lines to
be backdated or forward-dated.
When no accounts are active, all items in the Menubar->Chat menu are
disabled, and some other menu items related to starting/managing chats
are disabled in other views.
One new message was added to the API― IM_PROTOCOL_READY, which tells
Caya that a given protocol has logged in and is ready to receive
messages (rather than just sending).
This is currently done in XMPP after the roster is loaded, which be a
process that stalls the protocol for a few seconds. IM_PROTOCOL_READY
should only be sent after those initial, potentially time-heavy
operations.
Accounts can now be temporarily disabled (in a Pidgin-like style)
through Preferences->Accounts. Work is still required to allow
enabling/re-enabling of accounts on-the-fly, and for keeping an
account's disabled state persistent.
The ConversationListView is now an BOutlineListView, and rooms are
added as subitems to the item of their associated account. Right now,
account items aren't selectable or useful.
Previously, all Conversations/Contacts/Users were stored in the Server,
each in their respective KeyMaps, identified solely by their
identifiers. This leads to the glaring problem of overlap― if the user
has multiple accounts, some users/rooms might be used or present in multiple
accounts at the same time.
Now, each accounts' Contacts, Conversations, and Users are stored in
its ProtocolLooper, making this overlap impossible. An oversight of only
allowing one user identifier to be stored (fMySelf) in Server was also fixed
this way.
This is the bulk of the work required for multi-account support― now,
the user can join the same XMPP room on two seperate accounts, and it
works perfectly.
A BAlert is used to inform the user of room invitations― InviteDialogue―
and to send their response directly to the protocol's looper.
Some new protocol messages were added (and older ones were moved around
to compenstate)― IM_ROOM_SEND_INVITE, IM_ROOM_INVITE_REFUSED,
IM_ROOM_INVITE_RECEIVED, IM_ROOM_INVITE_ACCEPT, and
IM_ROOM_INVITE_REFUSE.
Allows custom colors to be dictated to RunView directly from
CayaRenderView. Some colors that were reliant on hard-coded theme
have been replaced with system colors.
New API messages were added to distinguish between a user leaving of
their own volition and being kicked/banned.
Messages are now shown in the chat view when a user leaves or or
kicked/banned, etc.
