This window (Chat→Room directory) is to be used for either a list of
publicly available rooms (in most protocols), or for a list of
joined-but-hidden rooms (as it'll used with libpurple, to list its
ChatBuddies).
Each room is sent individually from protocols using IM_ROOM_DIRECTORY
messages sent in response to a IM_GET_ROOM_DIRECTORY message.
Room flags (e.g., whether or not to auto-join, whether notifications
should be sent on message receive) can now be toggled through a room's
right-click menu in the room-list.
Two new room flags were added for notifications as well― ROOM_NOTIFY_DM
and ROOM_NOTIFY_ALL. If ROOM_NOTIFY_DM is enabled, the user will receive
notifications if they are in a one-on-one chat. If ROOM_NOTIFY_ALL, they
will receive notifications on every message sent to the room.
The default menu items for the room's pop-up menu were moved from
Templates.rdef to be built into the app.
Everything else in Templates.rdef should follow suit― B_TRANSLATE
can't be used in rdef files!
Currently, add-ons are disconnected when ChatProtocol::Shutdown() is
called, which the add-on can do by itself― but there is no standard way
for add-ons to notify the app about their Shutdown. Because of this,
they tend to not call Shutdown()― instead (as in the case of the Jabber
add-on), they display a BAlert (IM_ERROR) notifying the user of the
connection error, but the account is considered active by Cardie (and
its threads are still existant, including its ProtocolLooper).
Zombies are bad, so this is redesigned somewhat with this commit:
Protocols should no longer call ChatProtocol::Shutdown() themselves,
they must send an IM_MESSAGE of IM_PROTOCOL_DISABLE to the app.
This will delete its ProtocolLooper, which in turn will send a
notification to the user and delete the ChatProtocol, and so
calling ChatProtocol::Shutdown().
In the included protocols, an IM_ERROR is sent right before
IM_PROTOCOL_DISABLE is sent if due to a connection error. This is not
required, but it is courteous to inform your user about the "why." :)
