Bugfix: Set protocol after discovering connection methods

Otherwise if an endpoint was passed in with converse.initialize, then
that endpoint's protocol is (potentially wrongly) used.

• Bugfix: null inserted by emoji picker and can't switch between skintones

7.0.2 (2020-11-23)

• Updated translations: de, nb, gl, tr
• Still more necessary files not included in the 7.0.1 NPM package, causing Module not found errors.
• #2337: Newly opened headline chat isn't hidden by default

• #2328: Honor use_system_emojis in emoji-picker
• Not all *.js files were included in the 7.0.0 package, causing:
  Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'templates/*.js'

Note for plugin authors:
configuration settings should now be accessed via _converse.api.settings.get and not directly on the _converse object.
Soon we'll deprecate the latter, so prepare now.

Breaking changes

• The debug configuration option has been replaced with loglevel.

• In contrast to sessionStorage and localStorage, IndexedDB is an asynchronous database.
  A lot of code that relied on database access to be synchronous had to be
  updated to work with asynchronous access via promises.

• In order to add support for XEP-0156, the XMPP connection needs to be created
  only once we know the JID of the user that's logging in. This means that the
  connectionInitialized
  event now fires much later than before. Plugins that rely on connectionInitialized
  being triggered before the user's JID has been provided will need to be updated.

• The following API methods now return promises:

  • _converse.api.chats.get
  • _converse.api.chats.create
  • _converse.api.rooms.get
  • _converse.api.rooms.create
  • _converse.api.roomviews.close

• Changes the events:

  • The chatBoxInitialized event now triggers when a _converse.ChatBox (not the view) is opened.
  • Renamed the old chatBoxInitialized to chatBoxViewInitialized and trigger only for ChatBoxView instances.
  • Renamed chatRoomOpened event to chatRoomViewInitialized
  • The order of certain events have now changed: statusInitialized is now triggered after initialized and connected and reconnected.

• _converse.api.chats.get() now only returns one-on-one chats, not the control box or headline notifications.

• The show_only_online_users setting has been removed.

• _converse.api.alert.show is now _converse.api.show and instead of taking
  an integer for the type, "info", "warn" or "error" should be passed in.

• The converse-headline plugin has been split up into converse-headlines and converse-headlines-view.

• Prevent editing of sent file uploads.
• #1089: When filtering the roster for online users, show all non-offline users.
• #1733: New message notifications for a minimized chat stack on top of each other
• #1757: Chats are hidden behind the controlbox on mobile
• #1760: Private messages no longer received after websocket reconnect

• New config option allow_message_corrections
  which, if set to last, limits editing of sent messages to the last message sent.
• Bugfix: Don't treat every duplicate message ID as a message correction; since some clients don't use globally unique ID's this causes false positives.
• Bugfix: process stanzas from mam one-by-one in order to correctly process message receipts
• #1712: TypeError: plugin._features is not a function
• #1714: Don't notify the user in case we're receiving a message delivery receipt only
• #1739: New config option assets_path
  which lets you set the path from which "chunks" are loaded.
