Changelog

3.3.3 (2018-02-14)

Bugfixes

• Attribute error when empty IQ stanza is returned for vCard query
• In fullscreen view, sometimes a background MUC would come into the foreground when a new message appears inside it.

Security fixes

• CVE-2018-6591: Don't allow PEP bookmarks if pubsub#publish-options is not advertised by the server.

  In previous versions of converse.js, bookmarks sent to servers that don't support pubsub#publish-options were visible to all your contacts, even though they should be kept private. This is due to those servers simply ignoring the pubsub#publish-options directive and converse.js not checking first whether pubsub#publish-options is supported before setting bookmarks via PEP.

  More info here: https://gultsch.de/converse_bookmarks.html

New features

• XEP-0382 Spoiler Messages (currently only for private chats)
• Listen for new room bookmarks pushed from the user's PEP service.
• Simplified the embedded usecase.
  • No need to manually blacklist or whitelist any plugins.
  • Relies on the view_mode being set to 'embedded'.
  • The main converse.js build can be used for the embedded usecase.
  • Maintain MUC session upon page reload

API changes

• New API method _converse.disco.getIdentity to check whether a JID has a given identity.

Configuration settings

• auto_reconnect is now set to true by default.
• New configuration setting allow_public_bookmarks
• New configuration setting root
• The view_mode setting now has a new possible value: embedded

Translation updates

• Chinese (Traditional), French, German, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Ukrainian

3.3.2 (2018-01-29)

Bugfixes

• #878 Ending slash in link not recognized
• #921 FATAL error when visible_toolbar_buttons.emoji = false

3.3.1 (2018-01-18)

UI/UX changes

• Add new configuration option show_message_load_animation with a default value of false. The message load animations (added in 3.3.0) cause slowness and performance issues in Firefox, so they're now disabled by default.

Translation changes

• Updated Spanish and French translations.
• New translation: "Simplified Chinese"
• Rename zh language code to zh_TW and add Simplified Chinese as zh_CN

3.3.0 (2018-01-17)

Bugfixes

• #800 Could not register successfully in ejabberd 17.01

• Don't require auto_login to be true when using the API to log in.
• Moment locale wasn't being set to the value passed via the i18n option.
• In the chat heading, two avatars sometimes get rendered.
• Refetch the roster from the server after reconnection. From the perspective of the XMPP server, this is an entirely new login, and therefore as per RFC-6121 the roster SHOULD be queried, making the client an "interested resource". Otherwise connected contacts might not get your presence updates.
• The way the archive ID of a MAM message is specified, has changed. See https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0313.html#archives_id
• Fixed error building DOM toggle_chats.html span.unread-message-count class attribute
• Bugfix. In a MUC the /help command didn't render properly.
• The /voice MUC command didn't set the right role in order to grant voice again.

New Features

• Emojis are now sent in unicode instead of short names
• #314 Add support for opening chat rooms with a URL fragment such as #converse/room?jid=room@domain and private chats with a URL fragment such as #converse/chat?jid=user@domain
• #828 Add routing for the #converse/login and #converse/register URL fragments, which will render the registration and login forms respectively.
• New configuration setting view_mode This removes the need for separate inverse.js and converse-mobile.js builds. Instead the converse.js build is now used with view_mode set to fullscreen and mobile respectively.
• Fetch VCard when starting a chat with someone not in the user's roster.
• Show status messages in an MUC room when a user's role changes.
• In MUC chat rooms, collapse multiple, consecutive join/leave messages.
• Performance improvements for rendering private chats, rooms and the contacts roster.
• MUC Leave/Join messages now also show a new day indicator if applicable.

API changes

• New API method _converse.disco.supports to check whether a certain service discovery feature is supported by an entity.
• New API method _converse.api.vcard.get which fetches the VCard for a particular JID.

Configuration changes

UX/UI changes

• #984 Improve loading of archived messages via "infinite scroll"
• Use CSS3 fade transitions to render various elements.

• Consolidate error and validation reporting on the registration form.
• Don't close the emojis panel after inserting an emoji.
• Focus the message textarea when the emojis panel is opened or closed.
• MUC chatroom occupants are now sorted alphabetically and according to their roles.

Technical changes

• Converse.js now includes a Virtual DOM via backbone.vdomview and uses it to render various views.
• Converse.js no longer includes all the translations in its build. Instead, only the currently relevant translation is requested. This results in a much smaller filesize but means that the translations you want to provide need to be available. See the locales_url configuration setting for more info.
• The translation machinery has now been moved to a separate module in src/i18n.js.
• jQuery has been completely removed as a dependency (still used in tests though).

New features and improvements

• Add support for Emojis (either native, or via Emojione).
• Add JID validation to the contact add form, the occupant invite form and the login form.
• #896 Consistently use XMPP username in user-facing text (instead of JID, Jabber ID etc.).

New configuration settings

• The visible_toolbar_buttons.emoticons configuration option is now changed to visible_toolbar_buttons.emoji.
• use_emojione is used to determine whether Emojione should be used to render emojis, otherwise rendering falls back to native browser or OS support.
• emojione_image_path is used to specify from where Emojione will load images for rendering emojis.

New events

• 'discoInitialized'
• 'afterMessagesFetched'

Code changes

• Removed jQuery from converse-core, converse-vcard and converse-roomslist.
